IOTA, why this coin suddenly pop up?

Ranked sixth in the current market cap, IOTA just popped up today and become the sixth cryptocurrency in terms of market cap. Is anyone having any ideas how does this currency comes from? Why it is so heavily invested by crypto investors and how does it actually work? I hope that somebody here can answer me, many thanks
