What replaced Bitcoin as a top cryptocurrency? The credit rating agency has updated its overall rating of cryptocurrencies to take into account acceptance, technology, market dynamics and investment risk.
Weiss now ranks Ethereum (ETH) first, followed by Bitcoins (BTC), Cardano (ADA), Litecoin (LTC) and Stellar (XLM).
Weiss Ratings named Ethereum as the top cryptocurrency
In addition, the agency ranked Cardano first as a coin with the best technology. Thanks to the success of Shelley’s hard fort. Weiss also considers Cosmos (ATOM), Phantom (FTM), Tezos (XTZ) and Ethereum to be the best coins in terms of technology.
As for the state of the crypto market, Juan Villaverde says that investors continue to focus on large-cap coins.
We’ve seen small caps post stellar gains when a true crypto bull run is underway. This week’s pattern suggests to us that the crypto markets aren’t frothy yet and that higher prices await us still. We usually see the smaller altcoins outperform the broad crypto market once the rally enters its later stages.
The fact that the rally we’ve seen so far – as remarkable as it’s been – has been concentrated mostly in high-quality names tells us that caution still remains high among crypto market participants.”
