The mood on the cryptocurrency market in May was even better than in April. Currently, we can be sure that crypto winter is gone and the bottom of the Bitcoin’s price was settled around $3500. Shall we be preparing fo the next ATH (All-Time High)? Or maybe BTC’s rate of exchange will be more stable? We will soon find out and now we are presenting the Cryptocurrency Ranking May 2019.
In the February edition of Bithub’s Cryptocurrency Ranking we used for the first time a new method of selecting 30 coins. It is based on 30-day volume. Our new method allows us to examine the most „popular” projects in each month, which cannot be determined by looking at their marketcaps. What is more, the Ranking’s structure will not be pernament – it will gain the possibility of including different coins every month. For this purpose we use data from coinmarketcap. As every month, we present ROI of 30 digital curriencies exluding stablecoins.
