March was a good month for the crypto market as a whole. Bitcoin, in particular, gained 9% last month, reversing almost all losses from the first two months of 2022. Other major cryptocurrencies also recorded impressive gains, and some performed even better than Bitcoin. Still, not all cryptocurrencies managed to end March with a positive number.
