The year 2017 has come to an end, and what a year it was for cryptocurrencies! The unprecedented growth of bitcoin and popular altcoins have catapulted cryptocurrencies to the forefront of public consciousness. Just to get an idea of the magnitude of this growth, consider that by June of 2017, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization was just over $100 billion. At the time, it was considered to be a most astonishing feat. By the start of November, the market cap crossed the $200 billion mark. By the end of the month, the total value sat at just above $300.5 billion.

In this same year, numerous ICOs have come online raising capital in the millions of dollars. In fact, ICOs have successfully become the most popular crowdfunding method for startups this year. Bitcoin still retains its place as the most successful of all cryptocurrencies, with a market capitalization of about $158 billion. This is still more than all the others combined. However, there have been a number of Altcoins that have performed well in the market.

As we close out 2017, let’s take a moment to reflect on the Top 10 performing Altcoins of 2017.
