My 2 Best Cryptocurrencies to Buy in 2022
Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Polkadot (CRYPTO: DOT) are programmable blockchains, architected to support smart contracts (i.e. self-executing software). In turn, that type of technology forms the heart of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, tools that make financial services more efficient by eliminating intermediaries like banks.
Not surprisingly, that value proposition has translated into rapid growth. DeFi investments have skyrocketed over 1,300% to $248 billion in the past year, and that massive uptick in adoption has not gone unnoticed. Institutional investors are increasingly interested in cryptocurrency. And in terms of programmable blockchains, Ethereum and Polkadot are the two most popular digital assets among crypto hedge funds.
That fact alone is a compelling investment thesis. But both Ethereum and Polkadot are also undergoing upgrades that could supercharge adoption in 2022 -- and beyond. Here's what you should know.
