FX.co ★ Analysts: top 5 cryptocurrencies in 2018

According to analysts, the leading cryptos this year are those familiar to everybody: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple and Bitcoin Cash. At the moment, the trend is that these projects periodically lose in price, but eventually come back to normal levels. We offer to consider their opportunities in more detail.

Bitcoin

In 2018, investors have been frustrated by rapid price rises and falls of the most popular cryptocurrency. However, despite the setbacks, bitcoin is still the market leader. The price of BTC for the last two weeks has ranged from $9,000 to $11,000.

Ethereum

Ethereum is ranked 2nd most promising cryptocurrency in 2018. At the same time, experts note that it is gradually falling in price. In late January, ETH was $1,246. Later, the value of this virtual currency fell to $697. At present, Ethereum has recovered and on February 22, it traded at around $807.

Litecoin

Third place in the ranking of digital currencies was given to Litecoin, pushing down the Ripple crypto currency. This month, LTC showed incredible price hikes: in early February it was priced at only $125, and on February 22, Litecoin was trading at $194.

Ripple

Ripple took the fourth place in the 2018 list of leading cryptos. Experts consider this digital asset very unstable: in January Ripple rose to $1.4, and next month it fell to $0.7. Nevertheless, analysts say this cryptocurrency is one of the most promising. By the end of this year, it can grow to $3, according to forecasts.

Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash is ranked the fifth top cryptocurrency this year. In early February, the price of BCH was less than $1,000, but by February 22, Bitcoin Cash reached $1,217.
