Once you’ve used savedroid to save in cryptocurrencies, you might want to familiarize yourself with other significant cryptos. Here are three major cryptocurrencies you should know about.

If you’ve been following Inside savedroid, you’re probably already familiar with the original cryptocurrency Bitcoin, which has gained plenty of ground within the domain of online commerce. However, three cryptocurrencies―Ripple, Stellar, and Tether―are pursuing their own set of distinctive goals that set them apart from Bitcoin. These cryptos provide unique opportunities and should not be overlooked. Here’s what you need to know.

Ripple (XRP)

Ripple is one of the largest cryptocurrencies. Unlike Bitcoin, it is not primarily intended for everyday payments, but instead, is targeted at banks and financial institutions. Ripple’s xRapid platform allows banks to perform fast, inexpensive money transfers and has been adopted by many notable institutions, allowing Ripple to gain significant recognition within mainstream finance.

Stellar (XLM)

Stellar is also a popular cryptocurrency. It is notable for its role in IBM Worldwire, a new payment system that facilitates international bank transfers. However, Stellar is meant to be more open and inclusive than Ripple, and can easily be used by small banks and other projects. Such minor differences make Stellar an investment that pairs well with Ripple.

Tether (USDT)

Tether is a stablecoin: unlike Bitcoin, it is always worth $1 USD. Since Tether’s value doesn’t change, you won’t make money by holding it. It isn’t meant to be spent either. Instead, you can quickly sell your Bitcoin for Tether during periods of price volatility, then reinvest when the market settles down. You can sell Bitcoin for regular fiat currency as well, but selling for Tether is generally faster.
