Conclusions
From the data we can draw the conclusion that Ripple XRP is the most popular digital currency in Australia. Obviously, this is based on a small subset of data and doesn’t include factors such as social media, buy and sell trading volumes, market capitalization, and the crypto market industry. The decentralized finance space is continuing to evolve and we will likely see more altcoins competing for the top spot as time goes on.
