One of the biggest knocks against most cryptocurrencies is that they have few real-world benefits besides speculation.
In the case of the digital token Theta, the blockchain project underpins a peer-to-peer video streaming network that offers rewards to many of its 1 million monthly users in exchange for unused bandwidth. After rallying more than 300% this year, Theta’s market value has swelled to around $6 billion, putting it in the ranks of the top 20 digital tokens, according to data from CoinMarketCap.com.
