Bitcoin (BTC)Bitcoin is one of the best performing cryptocurrencies of 2021, even though we’re just a week into the new year. The cryptocurrency surged nearly 700% from 2020 and has since maintained its spot as a top gainer. The highest ever Bitcoin price is $41,941.56 and was attained 5 hours ago.

BTC is predicted to close at $100,000 by the end of the year, a 222% price increase should this come to fruition.
Ethereum (ETH)Ethereum (ETH) like Bitcoin, is already on an extremely bullish path. The second most valued cryptocurrency has already broken new levels. Unlike most altcoins, ETH is said to have an “unfair advantage” seeing that the cryptocurrency is built on the same blockchain that carries the highly talked about DeFi tokens.

Yearn.finance (YFI)The newcomer on the list is not so new as far as a bull rally is concerned. Yearn.Finance’s press time price of $32,292, although a sizeable decline from YFI’s $43,873 record high is still reasonably commendable, for a cryptocurrency that was launched in less than six months.
