Other major cryptos were largely in the green, despite ongoing inflation- and economy-related angst, even as major equity indexes performed sluggishly. The CoinDesk Market Index, a measure of crypto market performance, was up 1.8% for the day. The CMI gained just 0.8% in February, well off its January levels, according to its latest monthly report, although the Computing and DeFi sectors remained vibrant, gaining 17.5% and 11.1%, respectively. Computing has risen about 80% in 2023.
