Most expensive cryptocurrency 2024

Bitcoin ranked as one of the most expensive cryptocurrencies in existence by August 2023 - although values had declined significantly. Bitcoin had the most expensive cryptocurrency for a while but Ethereum was significantly cheaper, with a price that was roughly 30 times less than that of the most well-known digital currency. However, Bitcoin is in a somewhat unique position. Ethereum is one of several cryptocurrencies, for instance, that come from blockchains that focus on making financial applications possible.

Bitcoin, or a digital equivalent of gold

When one categorizes the different types of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin stands out as it is one of the few that are essentially meant to store digital value. Some describe Bitcoin as a digital version of gold, purely designed to hold or possibly purchasing power over time. It has no other applications built around it, and is considered too slow to perform financial transactions.

Stablecoins, the less volatile cryptocurrency

Several coins in this ranking stand out as their price seemingly has not changed as much as others. This is because these are stablecoins - cryptocurrencies pegged to the price development of external asset. This group of digital assets make up an increasing share within the overall crypto market. Some see these coins as the future of retail payments, whereas others view these coins as a "safe" addition to their crypto investments.
