The most promising cryptocurrencies [2018-2021]: a list, an overview of the top, profitable and promising cryptocurrencies for investment

The fastest way to make money is to buy cryptocurrency. No other investment product can match it in terms of profitability. In 2017, most cryptocoins have increased their value several times, and investors have received colossal profits. Now is the time to consider which of the most promising cryptocurrencies you can invest in in 2021 to generate income. At the same time, you need to remember about portfolio diversification and take into account all risks.

The most popular cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Ethereum will not bring as much profitability as new and still little-known tokens. By investing in them, you can increase your capital several times and get several "X's".

cryptocurrencies : Tron (TRX), Stellar Lumens (XML), Cardano (ADA), EOS, Zilliqa (ZIL), Binance Coin (BNB), Vechain (VEN ), Tezos (XTZ), Lisk (LSK), Ontology (ONT), 0x (ZRX) and others. Why are these coins? Most of them will soon launch the MainNet, which means switching to their own blockchain. For example, EOS will launch on June 2, 2018; TRX - May 31; Zilliqa is in the 3rd quarter. Stellar XML introduces Ligthing technology in the fall, in addition, the project is collaborating with a well-known company IBM.

I would also like to mention the Binance Coin (BNB) cryptocurrency . According to experts, this is one of the best coins for long-term investment. The BNB rate has grown several times in 2019, despite the market situation. Reasons for growth: the rapid development of the Binance exchange, the launch of the IEO platform and its own blockchain network in April. The coin's capitalization has grown to $ 3 billion and, according to this indicator, takes the 7th place in the cryptocurrency rating . On the chart below: the growth of the rate from $ 6 to $ 24 from January to May 2019.

How to choose a promising cryptocurrency

Choosing a really promising asset for investment is not an easy matter, since there are thousands of tokens on the market, each of which has its own characteristics and theoretically can take off after a certain time. But among this number there are many dummies that will never cost more than their current price. As a hint, we will tell you about several factors that you must pay attention to when choosing:

Purpose, main function. Sustainable growth in the long term can only be shown by those coins behind which are useful systems and technologies that have application in real life.
Program code. Having an open source code is a must-have for any project that claims to be trusted by users. Anyone can evaluate the quality of this code and its potential vulnerabilities. Of course, not everyone understands programming, so you can rely on the opinion of reputable auditing companies that periodically check certain projects.
Development team. Of great importance is who each of the founders of the project used to work, what kind of practical experience, skills, portfolio they have. Often, eminent developers are specially attracted there to draw attention to the project. Also an important nuance is the activity of the team and its activity in communicating with the audience.

Promising cryptocurrencies for 2021

1. Trust wallet Token (TWT)

Trust Wallet Token (TWT) is a token issued by a cryptocurrency wallet of the same name. Part of the Binance ecosystem . Performs a number of useful functions for the users of the application. Allows you to take part in project management, work with collectible tokens, support developers of decentralized applications, receive discounts on wallet and decentralized exchange services.

TWT was initially issued as a BEP-2 token (Binance Chain blockchain), but was later transferred to the Binance Smart Chain blockchain, with the BEP-20 standard. Users can exchange one format for another whenever they want, for example through the Binance Chain Wallet. Trust Wallet is an application officially supported by Binance, and since Binance is a leading crypto exchange with great prospects, the token has a chance to grow in demand. There was no listing on the exchange itself.

As of 12.12.2020, the token is traded at around $ 0.1 and ranks 347th in the ranking of cryptocurrencies with a capitalization of $ 24 million. We believe that the asset is undervalued and should enter the top 100 after listing on the parent exchange, which is at least x4-x5 to the current price. The listing period is not known and may happen at any time. The token is not added to other cryptocurrency exchanges, but some sites add it on their own initiative. You can buy TWT through Trust Wallet or the Binance DEX decentralized exchange . The token is traded in a pair with Binance Coin (BNB).

Promising cryptocurrencies for 2020

4. Yearn.Finance (YFI)

Yearn.Finance is a decentralized financial services protocol (trading, lending, deposits). It works in conjunction with credit pools (Aave, Compound and Dydx), distributing user funds between them in such a way that they bring the highest income. The system runs on the Ethereum blockchain, some of the functions are still in test mode, and some are only planned to be launched. The YFI token gives the right to vote on changes to the protocol.

5. Bella Protocol (BEL)

BEL is the native token of the Bella project, which combines ways to make money on a landing page and profitable farming. This is a kind of portal where the user gets access to different types of decentralized services and can distribute their finances in the most profitable way at the moment in 1 click.

6. Wing (WING)

Wing is a project powered by Ontology. Provides the possibility of decentralized lending with some peculiarities - the user's solvency and credit history is checked by Ontology algorithms (ONT ID). The developers believe that this system, called OScore, will eventually become an important tool for the implementation of various DeFi loan products.

The WING token allows you to receive additional income for the supply of liquidity and participate in project management. Immediately after its release, it was added to a number of major exchanges, including being distributed through the Binance Launchpool.

7. Compound (COMP)

Compound is one of the most popular DeFi lending protocols at the moment. Algorithmic interest rates change on average every 15 seconds.

The platform's native token is called COMP . It allows you to make the platform management decentralized - holders are given the right to vote in the control of the protocol. COMP is distributed as a reward for all kinds of activity in the project.

8. Swipe (SXP)

Swipe is a wallet for storing cryptocurrency and interacting with decentralized applications. Provides insurance for all tokens stored within the platform. The wallet also supports the functionality of exchanging, buying, selling cryptocurrency.

The SXP token serves to save on fees for transactions within the wallet, similar to BNB at Binance. In addition, it can be used to purchase gift cards, and users who hold a certain amount of SXP for six months can order an advanced debit card.

9. Synthetix Network Token (SNX)

Synthetix is a platform that allows you to generate special synthetic “synths” assets based on third-party assets, which can then be quickly and seamlessly exchanged for each other. This increases liquidity between different types of assets, from cryptocurrencies to real commodities.

The SNX token is the main tool for generating synths. You can also earn with it by staking.

10. WazirX (WRX)

WRX is an internal token of the Indian cryptocurrency exchange WazirX, the IEO of which took place in February 2020 on the Binance Launchpad. The exchange is the industry leader in India and the primary way to exchange Indian rupee for cryptocurrency or vice versa. Therefore, especially considering the cooperation with Binance , it has very good prospects, and not only in Asian countries.

The token belongs to the category of utilities, it can be used to get a discount on commissions (trading and margin), to earn money through the trade-to-mine system, to receive tokens for new projects on airdrops, etc. The functionality is planned to be expanded.

11. Sandbox (SAND)

Sandbox is a decentralized platform for making voxel games, trading in-game items and territories. SAND is the main utility token of this site, which allows you to make money on staking, take part in management, work with the platform (buy items, my character's appearance, etc.). 5% of all SAND transactions go to the ecosystem support fund and staking pool.

Sandbox is actively developing and has a rich roadmap for the next few years. The developers are convinced that they can attract millions of users and thereby popularize the "games + blockchain" link.

Maximum profitability and minimum risks are what attracts users to the project and makes it promising. At the moment, over 730 million dollars have already been blocked in the protocol, which is quite indicative for such a new, not yet fully refined platform.

12. Polkadot (DOT)

Polkadot is a protocol for combining various blockchains with each other in order to quickly and conveniently exchange information and transactions between them. Provides an easy way to run decentralized dApps. Using this protocol, anyone can create their own blockchain and run applications on it. The only condition is that a certain number of DOT tokens must be kept locked for the entire duration of the chain.

While not all aspects of the platform are fully developed yet, many reputable experts and companies have recognized the potential of Polkadot. Interoperability between blockchains will create a single seamless space and simplify data transfer as much as possible.

13. Aave (LEND)

Aave is one of the most demanded loan pools today. The platform was formerly known as ETHLend, but it radically changed the concept. The credit pool offers equal conditions for all, which are algorithmically determined based on the market situation. The LEND token was created for the purpose of controlling protocols and decentralized voting of participants. There is an unsecured lending option called Flash Loans.

Aave supports a large number of different cryptocurrencies and tokens running on the Ethereum blockchain. Flexible system of interest rates allows you to achieve good returns. Given the relevance of the DeFi topic today, the project has every chance of further successful development.

14. Curve DAO Token (CRV)

The Curve.fi token was released in an unusual way - it was done by an unknown third-party user, based on the open source code of the project. However, since the audit showed that the deployment was correct in all respects, the Curve team was forced to accept this situation. The platform itself is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange working with stablecoins and tokenized bitcoin.

The prospects of the platform and the token are associated with a fairly large selection of possibilities - the protocol works with 7 credit pools, so that the user can choose the one that seems more profitable to him at the moment. Also, the profitability in this project is objectively one of the highest to date.

15. Terra (LUNA)

Terra is a stablecoin system designed to develop efficient and cost effective e-commerce applications (for payment for goods, services or internal transfers). The LUNA token is used to support all systems, stabilize prices of stablecoins, as well as staking. To maintain prices at the same level, a mechanism is used to expand or decrease the money supply.

The platform has already developed two e-commerce applications that are very successful, as well as a special wallet for storing and staking LUNA. The product is actively used in many countries, especially in Asia.

Promising cryptocurrencies for 2019

2018 was a challenging year for the cryptocurrency world. Some investment instruments have lost all their value, but stronger competitors have become leaders. Consider really promising cryptocurrencies that can bring profit in 2019 or in the future.

Therefore, now the crypto community is in the waiting stage. Many have high hopes for the project, mainly because of the famous name of the creator.

17. Binance Coin (BNB)

Binance Coin (BNB) is a Binance exchange token that allows you to save on fees for several years. Savings decrease over time. But recently, Binance's management decided to extend the promotion and kept the 25% discount for the next year (at least until June 2020).

As with Huobi, the opportunity is most relevant to institutional investors who trade in such large amounts that it is more profitable for them to buy BNB tokens than to give away hundreds or thousands of dollars in trading fees.

Libra is a Facebook stablecoin, announced in 2019. Works in its own programming language Move. It will be possible to use the cryptocurrency using the Calibra Wallet. The main goal is to create a stable and at the same time secure payment instrument for a wide range of users.

Facebook is implementing a rather bold strategy to expand the blockchain market - if successful, Zuckerberg's authority will soar even higher than it is now. Whether Libra adheres to the basic principles of cryptocurrency is a moot point. However, a company like Facebook will definitely benefit from the development of the project as the main wallet support provider. Therefore, at the moment, most experts tend to believe that Libra has a chance to conquer the global financial services market.

19. Huobi Token (HT)

Huobi Token (HT) is a functional token that allows you to buy a subscription on the Huobi exchange. A subscription is required to receive a discount on trading commissions. For 12,000 HT you can buy a 50% discount.

38. Algorand (ALGO)

Algorand is a cryptocurrency that uses modern cryptographic techniques to emulate blockchain consensus without mining incentives. Developed by a Turing Award winner, the project provides several fundamental improvements to the blockchain architecture, enabling cryptocurrency to operate globally and in highly competitive network environments.

Despite the fact that the project does not have a coherent Roadmap, the goals and objectives of the developers are perfectly clear. The technical part is described in detail and intelligibly, so the project inspires confidence among users. Algorand has a strong team and the idea itself looks promising, therefore the cryptocurrency is included in the list of the most reliable coins of this year.

39. Elrond (ERD)

Elrond aims to create a new blockchain architecture that goes beyond current trends. Its essence is to create practical scalability through sharding. The ecosystem offers an engine compatible with the Ethereum virtual machine and, as a result, full smart contract interoperability.

It is too early to say whether the team will be able to implement the planned project. But the prospects are very good considering the previous experience of developers in the blockchain industry. To seize a place in the sun, the team needs to move very quickly, without waiting for competitors to get ahead. The communication between the Elrond team and the community looks positive - if this continues, the project can become one of the best blockchains.

40. Fantom (FTM)

Fantom is the first blockchain platform for creating smart contracts, powered by DAG (directed acyclic graph). Differs in high productivity. The goal of the developers is to eliminate the current problems in the sphere, that is, long transaction confirmation times and limited scalability.

The idea of the project is not original, but DAG looks unexpected as a method of implementation. If all goes well and the problems are indeed resolved, then Fantom will have great success as a pioneer. Unfortunately, it still has extensive competition in the form of cryptocurrency projects that solve similar problems in other ways.

41. LEO TOKEN (LEO)

UNUS SED LEO TOKEN is a token issued by iFinex, which owns the BitFinex exchange and some other services. Designed to improve the financial situation of sites in connection with the recent crisis. For exchange clients, the main benefit of tokens is to save on commissions.

Due to the high popularity of the Bitfinex exchange, LEO will be in demand for a long time as a means to reduce transaction fees. There are many active traders on the exchange for whom this is relevant. The attitude of customers to the token was clear even at the stage of the initial sale, when coins worth 1 billion USDT were sold without much advertising.

42. Decred (DCR)

Decred is a fork of Bitcoin that offers many benefits for miners. It features a high level of decentralization and a hybrid PoS + PoW mining algorithm. Thus, working with the coin is beneficial and convenient for both miners and ordinary users. The system supports atomic swaps - an instant exchange of one cryptocurrency for another.

Decred's governance model is much smarter than that of BTC, and this is gradually attracting more and more users to it. The team has extensive experience in blockchain projects and seems to understand how to achieve maximum decentralization and fairness on the web. The specific path of development depends on how many partnerships there will be in the near future.

44. Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink solves one of the main problems of many crypto networks - their limitations from the real world. In this network, the main work takes place with oracles that collect information from external sources and execute programmable smart contracts based on them.

Due to the wide possibilities of the project, in terms of the course, its prospects look great. It seems that not only private investors, but also large companies think so - partnerships have already been concluded with many of them, and the list is regularly updated. Perhaps the fact is that there are critically few projects on the market that are closely working with oracles.

List of promising cryptocurrencies for 2018

44. EOS

Platform

Currently 1 EOS equals $ 18. As you can see from the graph, in April the value of the coin increased by 4 times.

Why we consider this currency to be promising :

An exit and promotion of the EOS platform in the Asian region is being prepared. For this, a special fund is being formed with a budget of $ 200 million. Famous cryptocurrency investors Vinnie Lee and Michael Kao have already announced their participation.
In the summer, the platform will undergo global changes - the transition from the Ethereum blockchain to its own. EOS token will become a full-fledged cryptocurrency.
On May 6, 2018, a new version of the EOS blockchain software called Dawn 4.0 was released.
Reputation of developers. All three - Dan Larimer, Brendan Blumer, and Brock Pierce - have built successful platforms and businesses in the past. Dan, the CTO, created the Bitshares and Steemit coins, which made it to the top 50 coins by market cap and overall proved to be quite successful. Dan, in principle, has great authority on the currency market, for example, it was he who developed the Graphene blockchain technology, which both of his previous coins use. Brendan and Brock also have a solid track record of building successful businesses (you can find the details on the internet or just take our word for it, both are impressive).
Better to move away from technical issues and pay attention to market behavior. Block.one signed a contract with Mike Novogratz and Eric Schmidt for hundreds of millions (in total), which indirectly confirms that the technology is promising. Mike is the manager of billionaire hedge funds, and Eric is the ex-executive head of Google and one of the richest people in the world. It is unlikely that there will be doubts that they have thoroughly investigated both the technology and all the ins and outs of the developers of the promising cryptocurrency before making financial commitments.

Collectively, the positive news is pushing the token's value up, despite the overall market decline.

We forecast growth to $ 25-30 in the future. It is better to buy when the price drops from the $ 10-13 area.

How to buy a promising cryptocurrency (token) EOS. The method is applicable for all other coins.

Purchase on the Binance exchange . To do this, you need to go through a simple registration procedure on the binance.com website and fund your account. Since the crypto exchange does not work with fiat, only cryptocurrency can be transferred to it. Trading pairs: EOS / BTC and EOS / ETH. Next, go to the terminal (Shopping center - Main) and select the desired pair.
Create an order to buy EOS . There are several types of them: Limit, Market, Stop-Limit. In case of market execution, the buy order will be executed instantly. The crypto coin will be stored in the wallet of the exchange. If necessary, it can be transferred to other cryptocurrency wallets.

45. Tron (Tronix, TRX)

Why is Tron a promising crypto coin?

In early summer 2018, the platform will switch to its own blockchain. TRX will become a cryptocurrency and will no longer be considered an ERC-20 token.
The founder of the project, Justin Sun, said that he will use all his connections to conclude a contract with Alibaba, where he previously worked.
Justin Sun announced a partnership with the largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance and the government of Malta.
The main investors in cryptocurrency are the Chinese, which confirms the prospect of cryptocurrency, since China is one of the largest entertainment centers.

Against the backdrop of these news and expectations, the rate of the Tron cryptocurrency is growing. Since the beginning of spring, it has grown 2–3 times. Forecast for 2018: $ 0.13–0.18.

46. Stellar Lumen (XLM)

Why Stellar is a promising cryptocurrency:

Solving the issue with scaling. Ligthing technology will be introduced into the blockchain. Dates - autumn 2018.
An increase in the number of projects conducting ICOs on the Stellar platform.

Top-3 promising, reliable cryptocurrencies for investing

Cold-blooded investment in promising currencies for the long term requires analysis and endurance. Here is an overview of reliable cryptocurrencies that have existed for a long time: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum. Including them in an investment portfolio can generate income. Most likely, it will be less than the return on investment in new cryptocurrencies from the list above.

54. Bitcoin (BTC)

So why we consider Bitcoin to be a promising cryptocurrency:

The most famous, popular and reliable crypto coin.
To date, 80% of all bitcoins have been mined. As the supply decreases, so will the cost.
With the solution of the scaling problem, the price of the coin will rise.
You can buy Bitcoin on almost any exchange or Bitcoin exchanger .
Large investors are considering investing primarily in BTC.
The appearance of a futures on the Chicago stock exchange, the same futures on the MICEX is planned.
Bitcoin is the very first and most important cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the backbone of the crypto market.

55. Litecoin (LTC)

The Litecoin cryptocurrency is promising for long-term investment for the following reasons:

The number of payment terminals accepting Litecoin for payment is growing. More than 4,000 of them will appear in Argentina.
Cryptocurrency is being added to new exchanges. In 2018, it was already included in the listing of large platforms: Korbit, Gemini, ZebPay and others.
The creator of Litecoin, Charlie Lee, participated in the creation of the Coinbase exchange, and before that he worked in the technical department of Google.
On July 2, 2017, BTC China (one of the largest mining pools) added the ability to mine Litecoin.
Partnership agreements are signed with financial institutions. An agreement was signed with the Aliant processing center.
Very low transfer fees. For example, on April 19, a commission of $ 0.4 was paid for a transaction of 700,000 thousand LTC ($ 100 million). Speed - 2.5 minutes. A normal bank transfer took several days and would have cost much more.

56. Ethereum (ETH)

What is the prospect of the popular Ethereum cryptocurrency:

The project is actively developing. In November 2017, its creator Vitalik Buterin at BeyondBlock Taipei announced the transition to Ethereum 2.0. The security, scalability and privacy of the platform will be strengthened.
The first phase of the Casper FFG update will take place in summer or fall 2018.
On April 30, 2018, Buterin announced the introduction of sharding in the main network blockchain and a partial transition to the PoS confirmation algorithm. To implement the idea, a hard fork will be required.
Developers are constantly testing new features and implementing successful ones. For example, a Metropolis update was released that improved bandwidth.
One of the main factors is that 90% of projects conduct ICOs on the Ethereum platform. As it became known, the South Korean government is lifting the ban on their implementation and is preparing a regulatory framework for their implementation. This should positively affect the value of the ETH cryptocurrency.
It is easy to buy Ethereum . Cryptocurrency is widely represented in exchangers and exchanges.
