Exploring the Cryptocurrency Industry: A Beginner's Guide to Lower Risk Tokens

The cryptocurrency domain, while relatively young, is often seen as risky, deterring potential investors. Despite its volatility and notable instances of fraud, there exist certain cryptocurrency tokens that offer minimal risk, making them ideal for those new to the sphere.

Top 3 Cryptocurrencies with Minimal Risks

Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin$42,260 -0.64% (BTC) holds the distinction of being the first cryptocurrency and is considered among the safest. Over the last decade, BTC's performance has been exceptional, with its value increasing by over 30,000% since 2013. The Bitcoin network's high level of decentralization contributes to its safety, surpassing many other networks.

Future prospects for BTC look promising, with numerous analysts and financial entities predicting that BTC's price will hit the $100,000 mark before the decade's end. This makes Bitcoin a relatively safe option for those taking their first steps into cryptocurrency investment.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum$2,315 -2.42% (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, follows closely behind Bitcoin. The ETH network is known for hosting a significant number of Dapps (decentralized applications), with developmental activity often serving as a reliable indicator of an asset's future performance.

Noteworthy predictions have been made concerning ETH's future value, such as that of global financial institution Standard Chartered, which anticipates ETH could reach a price of $8,000 by 2026 and $35,000 in the long term. These projections make Ethereum a strong contender for new investors in search of a safer bet.

XRP

For cross-border remittances, XRP$0.620 -1.68% ranks as one of the most popular cryptocurrencies. Despite being embroiled in a legal dispute with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), Ripple, the fintech firm that utilizes the XRP token, received a favorable ruling from a US district court last year. The court declared that Ripple's sale of XRP to retail clients was not in violation of securities law.

While the lawsuit has moved to the high court, investors are eagerly awaiting a verdict. There remains the possibility that the high court will deliver a ruling similar to the district court's, which would make XRP a desirable low-risk option for new investors.
