China's Monthly Crypto Rankings: Bitcoin Takes 11th Place, EOS Still Leads

In its latest rankings, the Chinese CCID Research Institute put Bitcoin in eleventh place on a list of 37 digital currencies in terms of technology, application and innovation.

The CCID Research Institute is an initiative of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that provides a monthly assessment of cryptocurrency projects.

Cryptocurrency project EOS leads the list, having gained the highest number of points at 153.1.

EOS is followed by Ether with 148.6 points, while Tron took third place.

Open-source, enterprise-grade project NULS and blockchain project GXchain are ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.

Bitcoin scored only 103 points in the assessment, which brought it to the eleventh place - up 4 places from the rankings released in March.

In February, Bitcoin had moved from number 15 to number 13, then falling back down two spots to occupy 15th place again.

Notably, EOS is the all-time leader in the CCID's rankings.

As reported earlier in July, 83% of American investors would consider a preliminary investment in Bitcoin, as the asset gains traction among an ever more mainstream audience.
