Currently (Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 9:57 AM Central European Time), based on market capitalization, the three most expensive cryptocurrencies are:
* Bitcoin (BTC): priced at around $85,317.
* Ethereum (ETH): priced at around $1,640.
* Tether (USDT): priced at approximately $1.00.
Important Notes:
* Market capitalization is the standard: "most expensive" here is determined based on the total market cap of each currency (current price multiplied by the number of circulating coins), as it reflects the total amount of money invested in that currency.
* Continuous volatility: Cryptocurrency prices are highly variable and can differ significantly even over a short period.
* Different units of measurement: It is important to distinguish between unit price and market capitalization. The unit price of a currency may be very high, but its total market value may be lower than another currency with a lower unit price.
Therefore, the ranking above reflects the cryptocurrencies with the largest market capitalization at the moment.
