The Weiss classifications rate 55,000 traditional institutions and investments and have announced the intention to evaluate various digital currencies at the beginning of January 2018. From the announcement, investors have eagerly awaited the valuations of various digital currencies .

Above all, Bitcoin, the world's first and most popular digital currency, got a vote in letters & # 39; C + & # 39;, indicating that it's a "right" investment.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
These evaluations are based on a set of four criteria: the risk index, the performance index, the technology index and the index of fundamentals.
The risk index analyzes the potential risk and the negative side of the digital currency. Similar to any stock or obligation, consider the level of risk taken by investors.
The Reward index, on the other hand, considers the potential for growth and opportunities within the digital currency. This means that the odds that the price will rise, stabilize and otherwise provide a return for investors.
The technology index examines the technology behind every digital currency. It analyzes the framework that uses digital currency and identifies whether it believes the technology is "future-proof". The focus on technology is not unique to digital currencies, but it is particularly necessary as digital currencies are totally dependent on their technology stack. This unique aspect has given way to the white papers released by the creators of digital currency.
On the business side, the fundamental index considers how each digital currency could be used in the real world. This is perhaps the most obvious criterion from a retail investor's perspective because it helps investors get an idea of what the digital currency is good for.

"We have built a computer model that analyzes cryptocurrencies from many different angels and demonstrates a rational, rigorous and reasoned research that investors so desperately need in this space," said Dr. Martin Weiss, founder of Weiss Ratings.
"Many cryptocurrencies are murky, overestimated and vulnerable to abnormal arrests," he added. "The market desperately needs the clarity that only robust and impartial assessments can provide".
With the highly anticipated ratings now published, it is unclear what effect this publication will have on the market. What is clear, however, is that many enthusiasts may be surprised to see how their favorite currencies have scored in terms of risk, reward, technological potential and fundamental use.
