Bitcoin, the leading digital currency by market capitalization, has grown in value by more than 10 times at certain points over the past year, but it has also seen significant plunges in value. Still, a number of cryptocurrencies have managed to come out on top.

  1. Bitcoin Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and it remains the go-to leader of the space. As of this writing, the market capitalization of the world's top digital currency is more than $125 billion, with a price per coin of more than $7,305.

  2. Ethereum Ethereum, the digital token which prompted the rise of the initial coin offering (ICO), comes in second on our list of cryptocurrencies by market cap. It is significantly smaller than bitcoin; the current market cap is just shy of $50 billion, with a trading price of about $500 per token.

  3. Ripple The No. 3 slot goes to the much-hyped Ripple, with a total market capitalization of more than $19.8 billion. Unlike the top two digital currencies (as well as the one directly following it), the price of each XRP token is very small. As of this writing, it's just over 50 cents per token.

  4. Bitcoin Cash Bitcoin cash, the spin-off of bitcoin which launched as a result of a hard fork, comes in fourth in our ranking.

  5. EOS Rounding out the top five is EOS, with a market cap of $7.83 billion and a total circulation of more than 896 million tokens.
