From a prominent bitcoin bull to a big Coinbase ad, here
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin and founder of the BKCM encrypted investment company Brian Kelly says that the expiration of CBOE futures may have played a role in Bitcoin's impact today. He says that if the past is a prologue, the trend could last about six days.

Ethereum (ETH)
The creator of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin has unleashed a tweet storm which suggests Casper could be closer to completing than people think. The proof-of-stake protocol is designed to help the Ethereum scale and reduce transaction costs.
75. What remains now? On the FFG side, formal tests, refinements of specifications and ongoing progress on implementation (already started by> = 3 teams!), With an eye to safe and fast distribution. On the CBC side, much of the same. Forward and upward!

IOTA
IOTA has revealed a new look at some of the emerging projects in the platform ecosystem. Through the IOTA Ecosystem Development Fund (EDF), projects will receive funding donated by the community with the aim of creating a lively group of initiatives built around the IOTA core protocol.
Monero (XMR)
A new report from Germany RWTH Aachen University discovers that the infamous browser-based miner miner Coinhive generates about $ 250,000 of Monero (XMR) each month. This equates to about 1.18% of the total power of extraction behind the blockchain.
The JavaScript-based miner is thought to be used responsibly by websites that tell their users that they would like to use their CPU power to extract cryptography. However, hackers are known to have secretly injected the script onto unsuspecting websites to reap the rewards.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and ERC20 Tokens
Coinbase says it is redefining what a cryptographic portfolio should be with the new Coinbase Wallet. The company claims that the mobile wallet is more than a tool to access cryptocurrency, but also a starting point for exploring the decentralized Web and its possibilities.
