Cryptocurrencies are unique instruments in the investing world. They share many characteristics of traditional currencies but can also serve as platforms for more sophisticated financial products.
Judging by their price history alone, cryptocurrencies are easy to dismiss as a bubble. And, indeed, the crypto space is filled with questionable offerings.
However, a discerning look reveals a new financial technology with the capacity to fundamentally change the global economic landscape.
There are different types of cryptocurrency, but these six are among some of the more well-known currencies:
- Bitcoin (BTC) One of the most commonly known currencies, Bitcoin is considered an original cryptocurrency. …
- Litecoin (LTC) …
- Ethereum (ETH) …
- Ripple (XRP) …
- Bitcoin Cash. …
- Ethereum Classic.
Now there is a third bloc…STABLE COIN. Stable coins are cryptos meant to hold a stable value. They are generally pegged to $1USD. In clearer terms, “stable coin” is a term used in cryptocurrency to describe cryptocurrencies meant to hold stable values. For example, Tether (USDT) is a blockchain based asset meant to trade for $1 USD. Tether is a “price-stable cryptocurrency” that is “pegged” to the U.S. dollar.
