2018 Crypto Survey Highlights Top Picks: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Ripple, Dash, Zcash, Monero

by Daily Hodl Staff
June 27, 2018
in Altcoins

A new cryptocurrency survey by international law firm Foley & Lardner reveals that Ethereum is the number one cryptocurrency pick for investors, according to survey respondents.

The survey covers questions about regulations, investments, the likelihood of a crash, ICOs and payment methods.

“It’s interesting that the number of respondents who favor some degree of federal regulation is so high,” says Kathryn Trkla, partner and member of Foley’s Blockchain Task Force. “The reasons likely vary, but one may be a recognition that the decentralized platforms on which cryptocurrencies are traded or transferred are not self-contained silos. When a cryptocurrency is exchanged for USD or another fiat currency, or transferred as payment for receipt of a good or service, the transaction will likely involve use of existing, regulated financial market infrastructure.”
