EOS

The report shows that EOS raised $4.2 billion in over a one-year period (ending on June 1, 2018), capturing 53% of all ICO funds combined. Despite a surge in ICOs in 2018, with a 36.6% increase in the total number of ICOs for second quarter, only 6.2% of the 339 ICOs were listed on exchanges.

Tron

While Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate on Twitter as the two largest digital assets, Tron, currently the 11th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, was the third most popular on the social media platform overall.
