4 Altcoins Leading On-Chain Transaction Surge, According to Weiss Ratings

Development of blockchain technology steadily continues despite the bearish market, according to a new report by Weiss Crypto Ratings.

4 Altcoins Leading The Way

Four cryptocurrencies have posted significant increases in transactional activity since 2018, according to Weiss Crypto Ratings.

EOS

Between February 2018 and March 2019, EOS (EOS) saw the greatest increase in transactional volume. The cryptocurrency went from less than 7,000 transactions a day to nearly 4.6M in March of 2019. That’s eight times more than Ethereum (ETH).

TRON

TRON (TRX) experienced similar growth, going from 3,000 daily transactions to 1.9M during the same period.

WAX

Another winner was WAX, a platform for trading gaming items and collectibles. It has ballooned to 4.4M transactions per day despite being virtually off the map entirely in 2018.

BitShares

BitShares continues to grow. Being on the largest decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges, it now boasts some 1.5M transactions daily (up from 789,000 in February 2018).

Legitimate Transactions?

Of course, it’s difficult to confirm how many of these transactions are legitimate. Oftentimes, as we see on EOS, many transactions are fractions of what would expect from a “usable” transaction. A similar case could be made for TRON. However, given the explosive rise in transactional volume, these coins nonetheless experienced a significant upsurge — regardless of how many of these transactions are spoofs.

A transfer of $1M on Bitcoin is obviously more significant than a collectible being traded on WAX. Nonetheless, the rapid increase in transactional volume indicates that, across the board, most cryptocurrencies are developing their technology and boosting adoption.
