Weiss Ratings Back XRP, ADA, XLM & EOS
The American crypto research firm Weiss Ratings has published the latest update of its popular digital currency ranking which evaluates over 100 tokens out of a total of more than 3000 studied cryptocurrencies. Despite this, only four were rated as ‘strong buys’ by the firm.

There is too much potential for much-needed protection, claims Weiss Ratings in their recent blog post written by Martin D. Weiss, PhD and Juan M. Villaverde.

Governments are waging a war of physical cash. They want to force all liquid assets under the roof of financial institutions. This is an issue for the millions of citizens under authoritarian, corrupt regimes. Two key risks being asset seizures and invasion of personal privacy. The non-monetary applications of privacy coin technology provide solutions.
