Top cryptos making steady gains

Out of the top cryptocurrencies, XRP is hands down the best performing coin with over 22 percent gains.

The next biggest gainer among the top altcoins is Stellar (XLM), XRP’s competitor, created by Jed McCaleb who is also the co-founder of Ripple and recently has been involved in XRP sell-off. Though XLM is up by more than 7 percent, at 6th position, it still has a long way to go.
