The most popular cryptocurrencies among Russians, in addition to Bitcoin (BTC), are Ethereum (ETH) and Tether (USDT), RIA News reports, referring to experts in the cryptocurrency market.
According to a representative of the Garantex cryptocurrency exchange, Tatyana Maksimenko, Bitcoin and Ethereum are considered as a means of investment, while Stablecoin USDT is mostly taken as a way of making quick and seamless payments, including cross-border payments. Maksimenko notes that cryptocurrencies are a highly volatile asset because it often happens that even not the most popular cryptocurrency on a news or artificially created background grows in price several times, but then it can also fall rapidly.
