Cryptocurrencies have exploded in the wake of bitcoin’s surge in price and resulting boom in popularity.
There are now 29 cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, that have a market cap above $ 1 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.com. Business Insider has rounded up all of those digital coins into a single, cohesive list. These rankings are likely to change rapidly, given the volatility of cryptocurrency markets.
