Crypto is characterized by its highly volatile nature and even though the digital assets in this space have continued to live up to this reputation, investors remain undeterred. It is still one of the fastest-growing financial markets in the world with predictions of accelerated growth in the coming years. Recently, the space has slowed down significantly and as such, has seen declining values in the assets.<\/p>\n

Just like there are times where there is an exception to the rule, Small Cap altcoins have proven to be the exception this time around. While the rest of the market has been recording losses, these Small Cap coins are the only index that has remained in the green.<\/p>\n
