Top Altcoins To Follow This Week

The Crypto market entered the new week with a market value of $1.6 trillion. Two weeks ago Cryptocurrency market that fell below 2 trillion is still facing the effects of the decline.

The prices of most altcoins are far from All-time-high levels. Such decline in Alts increased Bitcoin dominance as Btc market share, which was pulled down to 40% on May 19, rose to over 48% last week, and is currently sitting at 44%.

While it is not possible to predict which direction the market will move in the coming days, some news from Ripple, Cardano, Stellar, PancakeSwap, PAID Network, and COTI this week may be worth watching.

Why To Follow: The SEC has sued Ripple and the company’s founder Larsen and CEO Garlinghouse for selling unregistered securities. Garlinghouse and Larsen have applied for the dismissal of the lawsuit filed against them. At the beginning of May, the SEC filed a request to challenge this application with a 60-page document, Ripple opposed it, but the judge ruled in favor of the SEC. Garlinghouse and Larsen’s lawyers are expected to respond to the appeal this week. If Garlinghouse and Larsen’s lawyers are successful in withdrawing SEC lawsuit against them, it will be considered big success for Ripple founders and Ripple Itself.

Stellar (XLM)

News This Week: Stellar will be voting to switch to Protocol 17 on June 1, at 1500 UTC.

Why To Follow: Protocol 17 will bring a feature called “asset clawback” to Stellar, which can be especially useful for organizations such as market funds.

Stellar.org writes:

“Protocol 17 introduces operations that allow asset issuers to maintain tighter control over how their asset is distributed to the world. Specifically, it gives them the power to burn their asset from a trustline or claimable balance, effectively removing it from the recipient’s balance sheet:

The amount of the asset clawed back is burned and is not sent to any other address. The issuer may reissue the asset to the same account or to another account if the intent of the clawback is to move the asset to another account.

This allows for things like regulatory enforcement, safety and control over certain assets, etc. You can refer to CAP-35 for more motivations or technical details behind these new features.”

PancakeSwap (CAKE)

News This Week: PancakeSwap will add the transaction fees collected in the last week IFO to today’s token burn.

Why To Follow: PancakeSwap held an IFO for Kalmar on May 27, with more than 160,000 individual wallets participating. People were able to stake CAKE and BNB before IFO and use their liquidity pool (LP) tokens during IFO. After the IFO is over, PancakeSwap splits the paid CAKE-BNB LP tokens into parts, uses BNB to buy CAKE from the market, and adds the CAKE it receives to the number of tokens it will burn weekly. The Cake token burning is expected to happen today.

We just bought back $850k in $CAKE from the market using the $BNB from the IFO participation fee.

This will be added to the burn on Monday. https://t.co/Us5xBPR5YP
