Interested In Altcoins? Here Are 3 That Could Boost Your Portfolio In Ongoing Bear Market

Altcoins: The ongoing bear market has resulted in uncertainty around the future of many crypto projects and has instilled caution in investors.

With portfolios going red, it’s understandable that investors want to tread sensibly in the current market scenario. Hence, we have compiled a list of altcoins, that look most stable and low risk, and could hold your portfolio together in the ongoing bear market.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is usually criticised for having high gas fees for conducting transactions. However, with its recent pivot to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and scheduled ecosystem upgrades that will make the network more scalable, more secure, and more sustainable, Ethereum is here to stay.

It would be virtually impossible to think about the NFT and dApp ecosystem without Ethereum. With so much usability and significance, Ethereum will remain a force in the industry despite a bear market.

Regardless of the legal battle, XRP is still prominent as the ecosystem seeks to replace the old, expensive, and cumbersome international payments system. It can aide traditional financial institutions in modernising their infrastructure to enable fast and cost-effective payment processing.
