Great news and it is clear that the situation is changing for the better! According to the agency's website, the valuation was based on factors such as price volatility, price increases in 2017, market penetration, technological capabilities, security, decentralization and scalability. Weiss is the first leading rating agency that decided to evaluate the Crypto-currency in this way. A company that usually evaluates banks, credit unions, mutual funds and insurance companies takes a cautious approach, but at the same time claims that it is completely independent and "fundamentally incomparable to almost all other ratings available in America today ". Weiss does not give a coin "A", basically it's C. In other words, C + is treated in Weiss as "good enough". A large majority of the assets under evaluation received C, C + and C, including such big names as Ripple XRP, NXT, Peercoin, NEM, Monero, Stellar, Zcash, Zcoin and Verge. Only five received a more desirable B rating ("good"): Cardano ADA, EOS, Ethereum, NEO and Steem. So, that all speaks for improving the adoption of the crypto currency to the money in the near future and the Steem in this plan in the first positions! Thank you @cryptographic
