0x is an open-source protocol for providing liquidity for peer-to-peer token exchanges. It’salso an engine that drives various DEX aggregators surfacing on Ethereum.

For example, Match is a DEX aggregator that uses the 0x API to source liquidity across 13sources for optimal swap pricing. And results from a recent study conducted in-house showed0x Labs’ products offered better pricing than other solutions on the market 72% of the time.

Results like these are why MetaMask integrated 0x into its AirSwap feature. MetaMask user scan now leverage 0x for swaps directly from the wallet, instead of navigating several DEXs to find the best price for a token swap.

With more integrations and better pricing, 0x cleared the $1 billion in monthly volume recently. And in the first week of December, the platform topped $400 million, meaning 0xmight eclipse $2 billion by the end of the month. With growth increasing and more tools leveraging 0x, we expect higher prices for ZRX. Open / Comment

Blockstack is allowing users to generate online identities to access applications and interact with smart contracts while leveraging the most secure blockchain in the world, bitcoin. And unlike Google and Facebook, it also gives users control over their data and information.

Blockstack announced plans to launch Stacks 2.0 on January 14. The upgrade will bring anew consensus algorithm called Proof-of-Transfer (PoX). It’s where miners transfer bitcoin to Stacks holders who participate in the PoX algorithm.

This should allow U.S. investors to purchase STX tokens. We’ll send out an update as we get more information or learn of any of our recommended U.S. exchanges listing STX.

Blockstack is on trajectory to become one of the world’s largest blockchain application networks. If you haven’t been able to purchase STX yet, you have plenty of time to get in before it takes off once Stacks 2.0 launches early next year. Its timer isn’t set to trigger until the fourth quarter of 2021. Open / Comment

One of the most promising lowcaps lately has entered the DEX world with Uniswap listing and they got 200k volume in the first hour!

The project just launched their biggest product so far, a mobile crypto APP. The app wil increase token utility and with it grow the demand for the token. They are also partnered with the big players in the industry including Coinmarketcal and KuCoin.

Due to this reasons and the ongoing bull run we believe that projected token price of 2USD will be reached before summer 2021.

Token can be found on #KuCoin and #Uniswap. Trading pair on uniswap

Cosmos is a project that allows blockchains to interact with one another like the internet. Its halving-like event is prepared to take place in March 2021. And when it hits, the ATOMtoken’s annual inflation will drop from 12.3% to 7%.

The reason we want to get in now is this halving-like event, and Stargate, haven’t kicked in yet.

You see, investing in Cosmos now is like getting involved with Ethereum before it had a single transaction. That’s because once Stargate 1.0 hits mainnet, projects built in the Cosmos hub will begin to interact with one another. We expect this to happen in 2021. Once it does, we should see the hub’s native ATOM token rise in price.

116 projects are using Cosmos’ Tendermint software to build. Stargate is the catalyst event which will enable these projects to interact with one another. When we combine this with its rate of inflation dropping 43%, we expect prices to rise. Open / Comment

2021-02-05 10:34:00 Zcash (ZEC)

On November 18, Zcash had its halving, which was the catalyst we highlighted in our original Catch-Up Portfolio Report. The amount of new Zcash minted per block is now down from6.25 to 3.125.

We witnessed a similar event with bitcoin earlier this year in May. The event results in less supply entering the market, and over time, this creates an upward pressure in price. It’s partof the reason bitcoin is hitting new highs right now. We expect the same to unfold with ZEC in the coming months.

On the same day as the ZEC halving, the network also had an upgrade called Canopy. It will allocate part of the block rewards to fund platform development. This means Zcash will continue to have dedicated teams of researchers and developers improving the network.

Canopy also had upgrades centered around security and performance. Together, these events create a foundation for ZEC’s price to take a substantial leap in the coming year. Open / Comment
