2018 is in full swing, but there is still a lot of time ahead. And during this time, the situation of a number of cryptocurrencies can seriously change. Digital money is rapidly burst into our lives and more and more people know what Bitcoin or Ethereum are. However, there are still hundreds of cryptocurrencies, which few have heard of outside the narrow circles of the crypto community.

However, if the coin does not rattle the whole world right now, it does not mean that it will not blow up in just a couple of months. Many little-known digital coins are considered to be very promising in the crypto community. Of course, none of them can replace bitcoin, but they can be extremely useful in your investment portfolio. You can buy or sell them through the ChangeNOW service — a new generation exchanger. Let’s make our list of the most promising altcoins of 2018.

Ripple

Perhaps, it is the hottest of the less known cryptocurrencies. The prospect of digital money of this type is due to the latest technologies that are being introduced into its ecosystem. Moreover, Ripple technologies are already being tested by the world’s largest financial institutions. Therefore, the prospects for further growth in XRP are iridescent.

Ripple can hardly be called a cryptocurrency in the classical form. It does not meet the most important criterion — decentralization. In addition, there are a lot of Ripple coins, which makes it impossible for them to grow as fast as bitcoin did. However, the partnership with the world’s largest banks, progressive technology, and minimal commissions make it a desirable target for many investors.

Omise

Omise is a cryptocurrency, which is based on the technology of Ethereum. The platform allows you to exchange coins for fiat money directly inside the system. In favor of Omise says its spread. It is already quite popular in Asia, especially in Thailand. The founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, believes in the future of this cryptocurrency.

EOS

EOS is one of the loudest projects in the crypto community over the past year. And it was noted both from the positive and from the negative sides. It has many good characteristics. First, the speed of transactions. It will be possible to carry out hundreds of thousands of operations per second. Secondly, the format. EOS will be something like a social network, where there will be no complex numbers of wallets, there will be nicknames instead. Sending money will be easy, but the protection will not be affected.

According to the company schedule, EOS Tokens will become fixed (non-transferable) on the Ethereum blockchain within 23 hours after the end of the final EOS Token distribution period which will occur on June 1, 2018.

It is thanks to this the team managed to set a record for the number of collected funds, which only Telegram has managed to beat. A total of 1 billion dollars was collected. And all would nothing, but there is one nuance. EOS does not exist. Yes, it is yet to be finalized, although the hype around it is enormous. Many critics call the project a scam and the crypto community really doubts how to treat the project. However, in spite of everything, EOS tokens become more expensive.

Cardano

Cardano is called the Japanese Ethereum. The main task of the developers is to create the most stable ecosystem, devoid of the rapid ups and downs that are typical for other cryptocurrencies. Cardano was created with the support of the former co-founder of Ethereum Karl Hoskinson.

Cardano is the first cryptocurrency that uses a scientific approach. The essence of the approach is that the blockchain system (which has an open source code) is licensed by scientists in the academic community. Japanese Ethereum is already available in Japan. Experts suggest that the cryptocurrency has great future.

TenX

Few have heard of TenX in Europe. However, in Asia, it has managed to make a rustle. The first important factor attracting investors is the location of headquarters. The cryptocurrency was born and works in Singapore the real “mecca” for all sorts of business projects. Secondly, the team. Vitalik Buterin is the advisor for TenX. The main goal of the project is to become a means of payment, not just a means of investment. TenX has experienced a long-term correction, so its rise in price may become a matter of time.
