GoChain (GO)

GoChain is a scalable, high performance, low cost, decentralized blockchain that supports smart contracts and distributed applications. The network is fully compatible with existing Ethereum wallets, smart contracts and other tools and the team view their platform as being an upgraded version of Ethereum.

The Public Network launched in May and the mainnet is live and open to the public with nodes around the world, which support up to 1300 tps. The GoChain team is focused on helping developers to build dApps and more secure smart contracts and are currently working on implementing ICO hosting into their platform. The team is poised to make a number of announcements regarding platform developments and partnerships and the project is gaining traction with social media influencers. As a result, even though GO has been performing well, the token has more room to grow as it has a market cap of around $35M and is currently available for $0.07.

Huobi Token (HT)

Huobi is one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, and currently processes approximately $500M worth of daily crypto trades. This puts the exchange in the top 10. Huobi Token acts as the native currency used across the platform. The team behind the project have just announced the launch of the Huobi-linked cryptocurrency exchange HBUS which is open for business in the U.S., and the Singapore-based exchange has entered into a strategic partnership with the San Francisco based HBUS.

HBUS will allow U.S. customers in 41 states to begin depositing funds immediately, and the platform opens its trading markets on July 10. This news should help stimulate interest in HT, as the HBUS team are rumored to be close to incorporating it into their platform. HT is currently trading at a price of $3.60.

Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Ethereum Classic was born as a spin-off of Ethereum following a large-scale theft of ether as a consequence of The DAO hack in 2016. A fork occurred after the Ethereum Foundation disagreed on how the incident should be managed and as a result, all ETH holders were issued with an identical amount of ETC and the two cryptos went their separate ways.

Ethereum Classic retains a much smaller market cap than Ethereum’s, and doesn’t capture the same amount of attention as ETH. However, this is changing as the currency is set to be made available on Coinbase, and although the exact listing date is currently unknown, it’s expected that the coin will appreciate significantly in value and more adventurous traders are already adding ETC to their portfolios. Despite fluctuating, ETC has been trending up consistently since the end of June and still has much more room to grow. It is definitely a coin to watch and is currently trading at a price of around $18.40.
