If you like the idea of being paid for holding a coin well you'll be glad I've compiled some of these altcoins that pay dividends :)
I will categorize them in two types Direct and Indirect dividend paying assets.
- Direct dividend paying coins either share their profits or reward you for keeping the coin with additional assets.
- Indirect dividend paying coins will repurchase the coins in buybacks and then destroy the repurchased coins.

As always do your due diligence before investing :)
I am simply doing a collection so it is easier for you to find these types of altcoins.
Full disclosure I am only in NEO and Kucoin at the moment. I chose Kucoin over COSS because I like Kucoin's UI better and their development team has been working at a faster pace. Also Kucoin currently has more volume than COSS so I feel safer investing in them at the moment. I may diversify to COSS later on though!
I may plan to go into OMG and ARK, but am still exploring them.
Feel free to comment below on any I missed and why you believe in it!
