This is evident from the growing number of clients on Currency.com, where active traders increased by more than 54% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to Q4 2020. Over the same period, trading in popular altcoins such as DOGE, ETH and XRP have also picked up significantly. To ensure we remain responsive to clients' needs and evolving preferences, we have added 19 of the most popular ERC-20 and DeFi assets to Currency.com. Supported by our free and extensive education resources, we are on a mission to connect more people with the burgeoning world of cryptocurrencies. "
