- Memecoins like Bone ShibaSwap and Doge Killer have recently experienced significant drops, with Shiba Inu and Dogecoin also in the red.
XRP and SHIB Found Their Spot
A research conducted by cryptocurrency experts at Marketplace Fairness has supposedlyestimated that Ethereum (ETH) is the most popular alternative to Bitcoin (BTC). The entity based its results on Google searches showing which digital asset people explore the Internet for. Marketplace Fairness determined that there are over 3.2 million ETH searches each month
The first-ever memecoin – Dogecoin (DOGE) – was placed second with approximately 1.6 million searches. Ripple’s native token – XRP – and DOGE’s rival – Shiba Inu (SHIB) – came up third and fourth. The former has 1.2 million searches per month, while the latter records 678,000.
Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), EOS (EOS), Litecoin (LTC), Tether (USDT), and Polkadot (DOT) are the other best alternatives to Bitcoin (BTC) included in the top 10 list
“While Bitcoin is arguably the poster boy of crypto, there are still such a broad range of cryptocurrencies around, many of which are on the rise.
“Memecoins” like Dogecoin can often be fairly volatile in the market, so it’ll be interesting to see how the global popularity of these currencies compares to their value as the crypto world changes,” a spokesperson for Marketplace Fairness reportedly said.
