Just a quarter left in 2021, and it seems like cryptocurrency isn’t going anywhere. If you’ve heard about Bitcoin, then your mind should also be open to other cryptocurrencies growing in popularity, and their prices can prove it. By late June of this year (2021), all significant cryptocurrencies had taken a hit on price. Fortunately, they started increasing again. Not as much as before, but enough to notice some overall changes within the crypto market.

In 2021, various cryptocurrencies are making a place for themselves in the crypto market. Below is a list compiled by cryptolaun.ch to help you learn about the fastest-growing cryptocurrency of the year 2021.

Solana

The price of Solana is still pretty low, at $33.66 as of 2019. The cryptocurrency comes in handy when creating decentralized apps because it empowers DApp creation!

The coin’s prices fell to a little over $21 during June but have gradually gone back up since then and reached upwards towards $35 again recently.

Chainlink

Chainlink is a blockchain abstraction layer that empowers globally connected intelligent contracts. It was founded in 2017 and has flourished since then, fluctuating between $20 and $25 as of June 2018. After the decline to $15.26 last month, it’s now back up to around $19.84.

Litecoin

Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has experienced sharp price fluctuations in 2018. In June, the coin dropped to $107 before rebounding and peaking at just over US$150 on July 4th.

Litecoin relies on blockchain technology as Bitcoin does, so it’s not surprising its value increased during the same period as bitcoin did this week (4-8/7). Litecoins are still down from their all-time high of around $400 back in December 2017 despite seeing an increase recently; however, they have been predicted by experts to see another surge through year-end, so who knows what will happen?

Polygon

Polygon, a cryptocurrency with the highest potential for growth in popularity, has been fluctuating wildly since June. Its rise from $0.9567 to $1.1758 as of July proves it worth giving evidence that Polygon is heading towards success and dominance within the realm of cryptocurrencies.

Uniswap

Uniswap is one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrencies. It recently dipped to US$14.28 in mid-June and has since gone up steadily, reaching a high of $21.48 only hours ago on July 5th, 2019, at 10:00 am EST.

Ripple

Ripple had been fluctuating between US$0.86 to US$0.84 since June 5th. Later, its price dropped to $US5.20, which was a pretty significant drop.

It stayed that way for quite some time before starting back up again at about $US6 per coin this past week, leading into next month’s end, where hopefully we can see Ripple continue being successful by reaching upwards towards new all-time highs as well.
