Encrypted currencies do not have to be A-rated to be of interest to investors. A "B" or even "B-" can be used as an investment rating equivalent to "buy". At the same time, investors should not be overly wary of being rated "C", which is a passing grade; for investors, it means "holding".

III. Rating models.

The Weiss Cryptocurrency Ratings model is built in five steps:

Step 1: collect current data on various digital money technologies, market performance and trading trends;

Step 2: a proprietary formula for converting data into comparable ratios;

Level 3: the proprietary subindex aggregates the ratio to measure key factors and characteristics that are considered key to the potential success or failure of each encrypted currency investment;

Four steps: subindicators are grouped into four key indicators (risk, rate of return, technical and basic conditions), each with a separate alphabetical rating;

Step 5th: summarize the four key indicators into a single alphabetical hierarchy;

Thus, each Weiss Cryptocurrency Rating represents the pinnacle of a pyramid that is extracted from thousands of calculations. And achieved the final results.

When investors learn about the past life of Weiss ratings, they can use them better and make better choices. Maybe the next ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times the coin is in it, waiting for yourself to go to Amoy.
