Steem ranks second in Chinese government ranking

China’s Ministry of Industry and information technology just released results from a research aimed at ranking crypto asset projects. Among the leading projects is Steem (STEEM) which ranked second, only trailing Ethereum by about 14 points in terms of the overall index. The project outperformed other major projects such as the bitcoin, NEO and IOTA which ranked slightly lower with indices of 88.1, 103 and 98.2 respectively.

The research based its analysis on three subcategories of technology, application and innovation. Steem outperformed its peers mainly in the technology and innovation categories where it registered 82.6 and 23.9 respectively, behind Ethereum in technology and coming 4th in innovation. It however came last among the top 15 projects in terms of application.

The Steemit platform is likely to take advantage of the fast transaction speeds of less than 3 seconds and the lack of transaction fees to grow its foothold in the market. As of today, the platform has been handling more transactions compared to those handled through the bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin platforms cumulatively. With the Chinese government’s appreciation of the platform as seen in its ranking as 2nd only to Ethereum, the platform is likely to gain more confidence among the Chinese and the other global users further cementing its place and giving it further opportunities for growth.

Slow on the mass media marketing

The platform has however received little media attention with sections of the public considering the lack of attention a misstep in the journalism industry.

It however remains to be seen how the coin will perform as the underlying platform continues to take an edge against its peers.
