The future of financial transactions has been changed forever by the rise of computer programs that authenticate the validity of online transactions. Almost every noteworthy corporate entity has major investments into cryptocurrency, including Facebook ( FB ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), Goldman Sachs ( GS ), and many, many others; however, we are in the midst of the longest and most severe “ crypto winter “ in history. Although there are no definite answers as to which coins will be winners over the long haul, it is interesting to take note of which coins are withstanding the harsh blows of the latest cryptocurrency bear market. There are at least 20 or so coins that I researched prior to the onset of the crypto-recession. The guiding themes regarded utility-usefulness, and I also wanted to know where Wall Street’s “ big dogs “ are placing their bets. With this being said, here is a quick summary of how some notable coins are currently performing according to their market cap values:
1. Bitcoin ( BTC )
2. Ethereum ( ETH )
8. Cardano ( ADA )
9. Polygon ( MATIC )
12. Solana ( SOL )
14. Polkadot ( DOT )
18. Avalanche ( AVAX )
Wow!!!
Let’s see how the other coins of interest are doing:
21. Cosmos Hub ( ATOM )
23. Chainlink ( LINK )
29. Stellar ( XLM )
33. Cronos ( CRO )
37. Algorand ( ALGO )
39. VeChain ( VET )
42. The Sandbox ( SAND )
43. Fantom ( FTM )
44. Decentraland ( MANA )
45. Axie Infinity ( AXS )
49. Theta Network ( Fired a long time ago )
Honorable Mention Coins:
50. Flow ( FLO )
62. Chiliz ( CHZ )
93. Enjin Coin ( ENJ )
Outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the coin that I liked the most prior to the crypto winter was Chainlink. If I had to choose anoint an alt-coin as being “ top dog “ now, I’d probably go with Charles Hoskinson’s Cardano project, which is slated to accomplish big things in the world of smart contracts across the African Continent.
