The most Successful Cryptocurrencies of 2017
In first place is the not undisputed cryptocurrency Ripple. The “bank coin”, as Ripple is also called, is not based on the blockchain, but on a central network, in contrast to other digital currencies. In addition, Ripple Labs, a profit-oriented company, itself holds a large number of coins. Nevertheless, Ripple’s value was able to grow by an incredible +36,000%. The well-known currencies such as Ethereum (6th place / +9,100%), Litecoin (9th place / +5,000%) or Bitcoin (14th place / +1,300%) ended up in the back ranks.
