There are thousands of different cryptocurrencies out there. Bitcoin’s success led to a flood of new coins—called altcoins—and tokens emerging. Due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrency, it's best to seek professional investment advice and become very familiar with the crypto industry before deciding to invest. The following are examples of cryptocurrencies with a higher market cap and therefore tend to be more stable. Market capitalization figures are current as of April 3, 2025 [2]:
1. Bitcoin (BTC)
Market cap: $1.63 trillion
Considered by many as the gold standard of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin runs on a blockchain and requires solving cryptographic puzzles, which keeps it a secure coin. The price of Bitcoin as of April 2025 is $82,413 USD.
2. Ethereum (ETH)
Market cap: $215.67 billion
This coin, considered an altcoin by some, is another popular option. Its developers aim to create a globally accessible, decentralized roster of financial products and applications that run without fraud or third-party interference.
3. Tether (USDT)
Market cap: $144.17 billion
Tether was the first stablecoin, a type of crypto tied to the value of the United States dollar. That backing can help level some of the dramatic fluctuations and make it easier to convert your holdings into dollars.
4. USD Coin (USDC)
Market cap: $60.91 billion
The Ethereum blockchain powers this cryptocurrency. It's a stablecoin that, like Tether, is backed by the US dollar.
5. XRP (XRP)
Market cap: $119.25 billion
XRP is the native coin of the Ripple exchange and payment settlement platform. You can use XRP to trade, invest, make purchases via Ripple, or exchange for other cryptocurrencies.
6. Cardano (ADA)
Market cap: $22.61 billion
You can use Cardano (ADA) to get rewards for holding it (called staking), making cryptocurrency transactions on the Cardano exchange, or investing. When you hold ADA, you hold a stake in the Cardano blockchain network.
7. Solana (SOL)
Market cap: $59.30 billion
This relatively new crypto emerged in 2021. It has a unique blockchain and was developed to support decentralized applications and finance.
8. Avalanche (AVAX)
Market cap: $59.30 billion
The blockchain platform Avalanche calls its native currency used for transactions on the network AVAX. Avalanche is an Ethereum competitor known for its speed and efficiency, thanks in large part to its use of proof-of-stake (PoS) to verify and authenticate information.
