The original cryptocurrency – and by far the biggest token out there by market cap. Ever popular, Bitcoin was invented in 2008 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto and kicked off the crypto movement around the world.
Litecoin was released by Charlie Lee in 2011. Technically similar to BTC, Litecoin aims to do what its big brother does – but faster. The Litecoin Network is capable of processing blocks 4x faster than the Bitcoin Blockchain, which means speedier transactions and processing.
The world’s 2nd biggest crypto by market cap and undisputed king of the altcoins. Ether is the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum Blockchain - the most widely-used blockchain around. It was conceived in 2013 by Vitalik Buterin and went live in July 2015. 20% of the total supply of Wirex Tokens (WXT) is built on the Ethereum blockchain.
Jeb McCaleb, Arthur Britto, David Schwartz and Ryan Fugger all contributed to the development of the Ripple payment protocol and its native crypto, XRP. It briefly became the 2nd largest crypto by market cap in December 2017 and retains a global network of committed fans.
ADA is the native token of the Cardano blockchain, a proof-of-stake (PoS) network that provides unparalleled security and stability, thanks to its peer-reviewed and evidence-based approach to development.
We’ve all come across the iconic meme that inspired DOGE. But who knew it would become a top ten crypto asset?
