Check Out The 3 Top Cryptocurrencies This Week

It was indeed a quite difficult year for cryptocurrency. Many companies have filed for bankruptcy and investors risking their money to make sure that they still get their returns. And what’s worse is the constant attack from hackers and leaving everyone going crazy. 

Despite the hardships, investors are still hopeful about cryptocurrency shining again. The year 2023 is fast approaching and here are the top 3 cryptocurrencies this week that showed good numbers in the market.

As a highly optimized custom fork of Ethereum, XDC Network has achieved consensus via the dPoS (delegated proof-of-stake) mechanism that allows more than 2000 transactions per second, two-second latency, and lesser gas fees.

The XDC went up by 6% after they announce their integration with STASIS, one of the largest euro-backed stablecoins that would allow EURS stablecoins on the XDC Network. After the announcement, its market cap went up by 20% from a slight decline and was trading at $0.02711.
