7 cryptocurrencies that can triple your money in 2022
1. These digital currencies have the
competitive edge and differentiation to
stand out in a crowded field.
Despite the benchmark S&P 500 more
than doubling up its average annual total
return in 2021, relative to the past four
decades, it’s the cryptocurrency market that
again stole the show.
As of the time of this writing on Dec. 28, the
aggregate value of all digital currencies was
$2.25 trillion, according to
2. CoinMarketCap.com. That’s up a cool 191%
from the beginning of 2021. Thanks to the
consistent outperformance of the “Big Two”
— Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) and Ethereum
(CRYPTO:ETH) — cryptocurrency investors
are probably wealthier now than they were
at this time last year.
And yet, in spite of extreme periods of
volatility, opportunity is still knocking for
investors to make money — assuming they
3. stick to digital currency projects that offer
differentiation and competitive advantages.
As we steam forward into a new year, here
are seven cryptocurrencies that have the
potential to triple your money in 2022.
4. 1. Avalanche
Among the largest cryptocurrencies by
market cap, the one that excites me the
most and has a realistic chance of tripling in
5. value this year is Avalanche
(CRYPTO:AVAX).
Avalanche is a smart contract-driven
blockchain network that offers incredible
speed and compatibility, which makes it a
logical choice with which to develop
decentralized applications (dApps). Smart
contracts are the protocol that help with
verifying, facilitating, and enforcing the
6. negotiation of a contract between two
parties.
According to Avalanche’s development
team, the blockchain-based network can
process north of 4,500 transactions per
second (TPS), and it offers a block finality
of less than two seconds. To put this into
context, the two most popular blockchain
networks, Bitcoin and Ethereum, can
handle a respective 7 and 13 TPS, and they
7. complete transactions in approximately 60
minutes and six minutes. That’s how much
more efficient Avalanche is than the most
popular cryptocurrencies.
But the real lure is the aforementioned
compatibility. It’s no secret that dApp
developers love utilizing the Ethereum
Virtual Machine (i.e., the software that
allows developers to create dApps on
Ethereum). Avalanche has the Ethereum
8. Virtual Machine operating on its
blockchain. This means dApp developers
have the opportunity to avoid the
congestion, high fees, and processing lag
associated with Ethereum’s blockchain and
migrate their projects to Avalanche’s
superior network. This should be a major
selling point for Avalanche in 2022.
9. 2. Qtum
If you want something a bit more off the
radar, Qtum (CRYPTO:QTUM)
(pronounced “Quantum”) is the
10. cryptocurrency that could triple your money
in 2022.
It’s relatively obvious, based on their
market value dominance, that Bitcoin and
Ethereum are loved by investors. However,
these networks have their drawbacks.
They’re slow, congested, and often come
with high transaction fees attached.
11. Enter Qtum, which aims to combine the
best aspects of both networks into a single
blockchain project.
Qtum’s blockchain incorporates the highly
secure UTXO transaction model from
Bitcoin and combines it with the Ethereum
Virtual Machine. The result is a secure
network that can support smart contracts.
In other words, Qtum can be used for
sending payments, or could be a hub for
12. dApp development, including decentralized
finance (DeFi) applications. With low
transaction fees and the ability to process
70 TPS, it’s another smart option for dApp
developers.
What’s more, Qtum’s Account Abstraction
Layer (AAL) provides differentiation from
other platforms. Without getting overly
technical, AAL is the component that allows
Qtum’s engineers to continuously upgrade
13. the smart contract component of the
blockchain while always ensuring that, no
matter how many upgrades are rolled out,
it’ll remain compatible with the UTXO
transaction model.
With a handful of key partnerships under
its belt, Qtum is a solid bet to outperform.
14. 3. Stellar
I’ll be the first to say it: Aside from Bitcoin,
payment coin-based networks don’t get a lot
of love in the crypto space. But if there’s one
that should, it’s Stellar (CRYPTO:XLM),
15. the 27th-largest digital currency by market
value.
Imagine you have U.S. dollars in your
pocket and you want to send money to a
friend or family member in the U.K. Going
through traditional banking routes, today’s
existing infrastructure could take a full
week to validate and settle this transaction.
Comparatively, if you were utilizing Stellar’s
blockchain-based network, your U.S.
16. dollars would be converted into Lumens
(XLM, the protocol token of the network),
sent to their destination, and converted to
British pounds. The time to complete this
transaction? About 4 to 5 seconds. That’s
hitting the send button, validation, and
settlement faster than most people can walk
to their fridge. And Stellar can handle up to
3,000 TPS, per developers, which blows
most blockchain-based networks out of the
water.
17. What Stellar offers is also incredibly
cost-effective. The average transaction fee
on Stellar’s network is 0.00001 XLM. Based
on a recent price of $0.274 per Lumen,
we’re talking about more than 364,000
transactions before a user would even rack
up $1 in fees. Compare that to traditional
banking fees or even Bitcoin, which
regularly sports an average transaction fee
of $2 or higher.
18. Considering that Stellar has a history of
landing major partnerships, it’s a project
crypto investors should take seriously.
4. Algorand
19. Another cryptocurrency that can triple you
money in 2022 is Algorand
(CRYPTO:ALGO), which slides in as the
22nd largest digital currency by market
value.
One of the key themes of this list is
competitive advantages. With Algorand,
users are getting highly efficient execution
and scalability. Based on recently updated
data from Algorand, the network was
20. processing at 1,162 TPS and offered a block
finality of 4.36 seconds. This is more or less
on par with Stellar.
Something that’s unique about Algorand is
the tweaking of the traditional
proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. With
Algorand’s pure proof of stake (PPoS),
holders of ALGO are randomly and secretly
chosen to propose blocks and vote on
proposals. The randomization associated
21. with PPoS all but ensures that a small
number of ALGO holders can’t collude to
disrupt the network.
But what makes Algorand so exciting is its
emphasis on interoperability. The
development team understands that
countless unique blockchain projects are
being developed, many of which may not be
compatible with each other. Algorand is
22. focused on bridging these gaps to make
DeFi and dApps mainstream.
After quadrupling in 2021, Algorand has all
the tools necessary to triple in 2022.
23. 5. Nano
If you thought Qtum was off the radar, let
me introduce you to Nano
(CRYPTO:NANO), which is the smallest
digital currency on this list at a hair above a
$500 million market value. Though it may
be small, Nano could pack a punch for
patient investors this year.
Like Stellar, Nano is a payment-network
coin that’s all about speed, scalability, and
24. completely outdoing traditional payment
infrastructure.
What separates Nano from the thousands of
other payment coin projects is its
blockchain network. Nano employs what’s
known as the block-lattice blockchain. This
design allows each user to have their own
blockchain, which they’re free to add to.
Since users have their own blockchain, they
don’t compete with other users to propose
25. new blocks, or worry about gaining
approval from anyone other than the sender
and receiver of a payment. In short, Nano’s
network can scale very rapidly without
adversely affecting the performance of the
network.
Speaking of performance, Nano offers the
fastest block finality on this list. According
to its developers, the typical transaction is
26. validated and settled in under one second. I
repeat, under one second!
Additional differentiation is supported by
Nano’s Open Representative Voting (ORV)
consensus mechanism. Without digging
into the weeds, ORV is the key component
that makes transactions fee-less on the
network.
To summarize: Nano can complete
cross-border transactions, for free, in under
27. a second. That’s what we call a competitive
edge.
6. Axie Infinity
28. There’s arguably not a hotter trend in the
cryptocurrency space right now than the
metaverse. More specifically, investors are
enamored with the prospects of
decentralized, blockchain-based virtual
worlds. Axie Infinity (CRYPTO:AXS) is
currently leading that charge and could
triple investors’ money in 2022.
Axie has developed a play-to-earn game on
the Ethereum blockchain that’s been a big
29. hit in recent months. Users collect, raise,
breed, and battle monster-like figures
known as Axies. To go to battle, a user
needs a minimum of three Axies. As with
traditional games, the winner of these
battles receives experience points that can
be used to improve their Axies.
While this all might sound pretty
straightforward, Axie Infinity deviates from
traditional gaming in one big way:
30. ownership. If you download a game on an
Xbox that allows you to modify characters
or create your own virtual world, the rights
to those characters still belong to the game
developers. By comparison, if you raise an
Axie, it becomes a non-fungible token
(NFT). It can be used in game play or be
monetized in a marketplace. In other words,
gamers have full ownership of their
creations with Axie, which is in stark
31. contrast to what we’ve witnessed from
decades of gaming.
Furthermore, Axie is generating some cold,
hard green with its game. Data from
TokenTerminal.com shows that Axie
Infinity has brought in $1.24 billion in
protocol dApp revenue over the
trailing-90-day period. That trails only
Ethereum ($4.98 billion) over this time
frame.
33. The seventh and final cryptocurrency that
can triple your money in 2022 is IOTA
(CRYPTO:MIOTA). Once a top-10 digital
currency by market cap in 2017, IOTA has
dipped all the way to №42, per
CoinMarketCap.com.
The key theme throughout this list is the
idea that competitive advantages and
differentiation are a necessity to stand out
when there are more than 16,000 listed
34. cryptocurrencies. IOTA, like the projects I
described above, provides this
differentiation.
The interesting thing about IOTA is that it’s
not blockchain-based. Rather, developers
built what’s known as the “Tangle” — a
direct acyclic graph (DAG) that requires
new transactions to confirm at least two
previous transactions. Imagine this
interconnection of transactions propagating
35. along a timeline and creating something
like a tangled web (thus, the “Tangle”).
Why the Tangle and not blockchain like
seemingly every other project? The answer
is that blockchain can be slowed down by
the need to generate, vote on, and validate
new blocks. Eliminating these hurdles with
the Tangle means a faster, more scalable
network that, like Nano, is fee-less.
36. IOTA has also made waves by landing a
major partnership with Dell
Technologies. This pact, known as Project
Alvarium, will seek to analyze and log the
trustworthiness of data before it’s used by
an application.
Long story short, forget about the
brand-name coins and think a bit smaller
and off the radar in 2022 if you want to
potentially triple your money.
