The Top11 list changes quickly. On May 28, 2018 a screenshot has been made. Compare this with half a year earlier, then you know, more changes are coming. The Total Market Capitalization is a misleading value. More about this soon.
Below the TOP11 list (December 18 2017, 171218). A number of Cryptocurrencies can be considered a crypto cornerstone. The problem is: It can really change fast. At this moment we can say there are 5 cornerstones or the Cryptocurrencies in the Top11 list. Those are:
- Bitcoin
- Ethereum
- Bitcoin Cash (a hard fork of Bitcoin)
- Litecoin
- Ripple
- NEM
- IOTA
- Cardano
- Monero
- Dash
- Bitcoin Gold (a hard fork of Bitcoin)
These belong to the Top10 cryptos. On the border (number 7 to 14) the names can change quickly due to the influx of new money from the fiat system or special news (like government and bank regulations, bans, hacks, politics, developments and many more).
