3. Cardano

This is an affordable cryptocurrency that is gaining popularity among the cult fans of cryptocurrency. It has become a strong player in the market with its Ouroboros blockchain, which means it has two blockchains instead of one. Out of the two,  one blockchain manages general ordinary transactions while the other manages the smart contracts. The logic behind this is the ability of Cardano to remain scalable and fast as two types of transactions will not slow it down. Most of its investors are in Japana, hence, Cardano is also known as the “Japanese Ethereum” because it uses the same Proof of Stake algorithm which Ethereum is planning to do for a long time. In February 2021, Cardano almost hit the $30.7 billion market cap.

4 . Dogecoin

Dogecoin has stood strong even after not being taken seriously. First, Redditors spiked the price to new heights in early 2021 as a way to prevent the speculated short-selling of Dogecoins by many Wall Street hedge funds. And then, Elon Musk called himself the “Dogefather” promoting this cryptocurrency further. While many argue the legitimacy of this coin, Dogecoin continues to have its share of market value. In April 2021, Dogecoin hit its all-time high of $0.2917. After a steady growth further, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has now announced that it accepts Dogecoins as a mode of payment.
