Bitcoin might be the headline cryptocurrency for many, but the market for digital currencies relying on blockchain technology is much bigger than that. Take, for instance, Ether: Initially released in 2015, the cryptocurrency is based off the open-source Ethereum blockchain – currently the more commonly used name for the coin – has become one of several virtual currencies with the most transactions on the ledger by 2021. This was reflected in Ethereum’s price, which had nearly doubled between December 2020 and January 2021. Regardless, when consumers were googling for information on cryptocurrencies in, for instance, Poland, Bitcoin searches far outweighed those of other digital coins. This page investigates these cryptocurrencies, other than Bitcoin. Statista also offers a dedicated page for Bitcoin (BTC) alone. This page mainly focuses on the market size of Bitcoin’s competitors, such as Ethereum (ETC), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), and Dogecoin (DOGE).
