United States’ stance on any issue is always hard to see clearly. However, in the crypto sphere, the country has identified cryptocurrencies as assets and not currencies. Even though crypto investment in the country is subject to capital gains tax, the nation has developed some amazing, and worldly popular crypto projects.

Top 5 Cryptocurrency projects from United States

1. Ripple (XRP):

One of the most popular cryptocurrencies, Ripple is an open-source protocol that has been designed to allow cheap and fast transactions. The goal of the Ripple system is to enable people to move past the restrictions of the financial networks and enjoy a much freer crypto trading.

The Ripple platform allows the bridging of different currencies and makes possible an easy cross-border transaction among banking institutions. The slow settlement operations which including high operational costs and payment failure are the real-time problem that the cryptocurrency aims at solving.

Put in simple terms, the project addresses the need to keep the money flowing freely. The goal is to build on the decentralised digital currency approach and improvise the money flow.
