After gaining some recognition on Wall Street, cryptocurrencies have attracted the interest of asset rating agencies.
Last week, Florida-based Weiss Ratings released a report that assigned grades to dozens of cryptocurrencies based on a number of metrics, like risk, technological innovation, and other fundamentals.
