Nano’s run through the ultimate cryptocurrency took the world by surprise. They were hyped before the tournament, already claiming victory on their Reddit page, but many coins were making such claims. One reply was along the lines of “Yes! Let’s shill our beloved Nano to victory!!” And they did.
When Nano massacred Bitcoin SV in the first round, it remained to be seen whether that victory was due to Nano’s strength or Bitcoin SV’s unpopularity.
The second round began to put those doubts to rest after it took down 7 seed Maker. Yet, it remained to be seen whether that victory was due to Nano’s strength, or another weak opponent. The third round 92-8 victory against 11 seed Hedera HashGraph showed that Nano had some firepower, but again, the competition was not the stiffest.

The Elite Eight matchup against 1 seed Ethereum was when the world took Nano seriously. An unexpected annihilation of a coin which many had in their Final Four predictions shocked the planet. Maker fared better than one of the original cryptocurrencies and second overall seed. Could Nano be for real?
The coin ride its momentum into the Final Four matchup against unexpected but strong 3 seed Tezos. It seemed the 3 seed poured everything they had into the game. Perhaps it was the combined might of the rest of the crypto space putting its support behind Tezos, as the coin put up the most valiant fight against the eventual champs. Hundreds poured in their support for Tezos, but hundreds more rallied behind Nano to push it into the Championship Game.
That game was an unceremonious dumping of fan-favorite Monero, who went down by a score similar to other highly touted coins.
Overall, it was a magical and unexpected Cinderella run during the inaugural edition of the Ultimate Cryptocurrency tournament. Nano took down some big game in Bitcoin SV, Ethereum, and Monero.
Nano is the champ.
They celebrated heartily after their unbelievably dominant run.
Congratulations to them!
