Investing.com - 2021 was a great year for the cryptocurrency market, which reached historic highs. Despite the negative trend in the market in the last two months of the year, most participants in the market, both investors and traders, as well the companies and platforms operating in it, can conclude the year with many good reasons for optimism. 

As always, in the past year cryptocurrencies had a volatile run, and so in the last two months many of the leading cryptocurrencies dropped 30% or more. On the whole though, 2021 delivered positive returns in the crypto market for investors and traders, including hitting all-time highs in November.
