Cardano

"While the mainstream press seems content to concentrate on the major players in the cryptocurrency scene – Ripple, Ethereum, and Bitcoin – more in-depth analysis shows that some of the less visible altcoins on the market might be set to make their mark in 2018.

NEO

Here’s How NEO (NEO) Gets To $1,000
"NEO (NEO) currently trades for $113 a piece and, at that price, commands a market capitalization of a little over $7.34 billion. Just as with the wider cryptocurrency market, this one was subject to a considerable weakening over the last six weeks or so, but, unlike many of its peers, NEO has staged something of a strong and sustained recovery subsequent to the decline."

Could NEO be ‘The One’ for cryptocurrency?
"NEO may mean “new” in Greek, but in the cryptocurrency world, it’s known as “Chinese Ethereum,” and even, “Ethereum’s Killer.” If you don’t live in Asia, and you’re new to cryptocurrency, it’s entirely possible you’ve never heard of this eighth-largest cryptocurrency on the market. But you should be paying attention. Nearly every crypto coin company on the market is on edge about what actions the Chinese government will take against booming digital exchanges. And if restrictions and total shutdowns actually do happen, many are speculating that NEO could weather the storm."

It was reported last year that the company, which says it operates nearly 800 branch locations in 31 countries, was eyeing a deal to use Ripple's technology."

Western Union Says It's Testing Transactions With Ripple
"Western Union’s long-rumored relationship with Ripple is turning out to be real. After more than a month of speculation, the money transfer company’s chief financial officer said it’s evaluating blockchain technology and is testing transactions with Ripple, the San Francisco-based startup behind the cryptocurrency of the same name.
Efforts are in a “testing phase” and not a key part of the business, Western Union CFO Raj Agrawal said in an interview Tuesday with Bloomberg News. "
