The year 2024 witnessed significant transformations in the cryptocurrency market, as Bitcoin continued to solidify its position as 'digital gold' after surpassing the $100,000 mark, thanks to increased institutional adoption. However, it wasn't just the major currencies that were winners; other currencies emerged that achieved tremendous growth, sometimes surpassing Bitcoin itself.
Cryptocurrencies that led the growth
These cryptocurrencies not only achieved astronomical growth but also demonstrated that innovation is not limited to major currencies.
* MANTRA (OM): This currency topped the list of best-performing currencies in 2024, achieving an astonishing increase of over 9400%. This growth is attributed to the increasing interest in the Real World Assets (RWA) sector, which is considered a promising area for investment.
* Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL): This currency experienced exceptional growth of 26,500%, as its project focuses on artificial intelligence and the development of intelligent clients, allowing users to create AI robots without the need for programming expertise.
* Meme Coins: Meme coins made a strong comeback in 2024, with currencies like Pepe, Mog Coin, and Popcat seeing significant increases. This rise reflects the speculative nature of the market and the impact of media hype on these currencies, especially those built on the Solana network.
