Coinbase recently released a new set of trading signals. This helps provide insight on what coins are top when it comes to popularity as well as crypto assets that are held for the longest time.
Most times, people assume that the popularity of coins can be determined by the market cap of crypto assets. Analyst and economist Alex Kruger took to his Twitter page to list out the biggest cryptocurrency assets. The results prove that market cap is not a determining factor when it comes to popularity.

Bitcoin is The Most Popular Cryptocurrency
So far, from his list, the most popular cryptocurrency is bitcoin. The top coin is followed by Ethereum with Litecoin. Bitcoin Cash, XRP and Stellar follow next and 0x is the 7th on the list.
The analyst also released data for the coins which are held for the longest period by traders. On that list, BTC takes the fifth place.
Litecoin is first on this list with a median number of days held set at 119 days. 0x is second with 108 days while Ethereum comes in third with 101 days. Ethereum Classic is fourth on this list with 99 days while Bitcoin holds the 5th spot with 85 days.
Popularity = Most Commonly Held
Days = Median Holding Time
The latter needs adjusting by the fact that Coinbase listed most coins less than a year ago, and at different dates. Here's a rough (imperfect) adjusted estimate: pic.twitter.com/I0bHFWVWX6
