About payments coins
Payment coins were built to move money quickly and cheaply, whether peer-to-peer or across borders. XRP and Stellar target institutional and remittance corridors, while Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash offer faster, lower-fee alternatives to Bitcoin for everyday transactions. Utility here is measured in throughput, settlement time and real-world integrations rather than smart-contract activity.
The table above ranks the payments coins we track by market capitalisation, so the sector’s biggest names sit at the top. Prices, 24-hour movement and volume are pulled live and are indicative only — always confirm on your exchange before trading, and treat the more speculative corners of this sector as high-risk.

How many payments coins are listed here?
This hub tracks 4 of the most established payments coins, ranked by market capitalisation with live prices. We focus on the largest and most liquid names rather than every micro-cap token in the sector.
How are the payments coins ranked?
By market capitalisation — price multiplied by circulating supply — which is the standard way to gauge a coin’s relative size. You can re-sort the table by price, 24-hour change or volume, and use the Gainers and Losers tabs to surface the biggest daily moves.
Are these prices live and how often do they update?
Yes. The table is server-rendered on each request and cached briefly to respect data-source rate limits, so figures refresh within about a minute. Reload the page for the latest snapshot.
