These Are the Crypto Economy's 5 Most Expensive Assets per Unit in August 2022

On July 18, 2021, Bitcoin.com News researched the top five most expensive crypto assets and at that time there were two digital currencies worth five digits in value, two tokens worth four digits in U.S. dollar value, and one valued at three digits.

Just over a year ago, the crypto economy was worth roughly $1.33 trillion on July 18, 2021, and bitcoin (BTC) was trading for $31,615 per unit. At that time, one other crypto asset was worth five digits in USD value, as yearn finance (YFI) was exchanging hands for $28,611 per unit.
