2018 has come to an end, as the new year kicks in tomorrow. The year was mostly dominated by the bear market, and hence massive losses to the crypto world. Now, on a positive note, investors are having large expectations from the new year.
2019 should see an expansion of the crypto payments sector and announcements like last week’s news about a partnership between hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger and payment startup Crypto.com are a preview of what’s to come. The sector requires more services that allow cryptocurrency holders to transact in crypto without having to first spend fiat or exit crypto to make fiat payments.
More brokers offering crypto-to-crypto payment services are needed and a growing number of companies are beginning to enter this space. Crypto holders want to spend their funds and an increasing number of businesses are looking to accept crypto.
While there are a lot of things expected to arrive that might change the situation in the new year, investors are still mostly interested in individual coin predictions, hoping to buy as the future stars of the crypto space are cheap. The promising cryptos on our radar are:
Stellar (XLM)
Stellar is an obvious candidate. The coin is one of the fastest coins in the world. It is also very cheap, and it received a lot of attention due to the fact that the tech giant IBM itself approached it for a partnership. Stellar offers efficient and fast international transactions, which makes it similar to XRP in some ways. However, one big difference between the two is that XRP aims to work with banks, while XLM offers its services to individuals.
Stellar has a lot of potential for the future, and anyone looking to make a sound investment should definitely consider this coin.
4New
4New is a new project that most people are not familiar with at this point. While the coin has yet to make a name for itself, some investors who always search for cryptos with potential for the future have already reported that this coin has what it takes to go big, perhaps as soon as in 2019. The project focuses on running factories that convert waste to electricity through the process of burning the trash.
The electricity is then tokenized, which enhances to coin’s position within the market, The coin is even more promising due to the fact that progressive tech is being used for cleaning up waste. This is one of the coins with the most obvious impact on the real world, which is why many might find it interesting and worthy of their time.
Basic Attention Token (BAT)
BAT is a coin that has already intrigued countless traders, investors, and even just regular crypto enthusiasts around the world. It is the coin that aims to revolutionize how advertising works, and it comes closely tied to the Brave browser. The project is simple, yet brilliant in concept — the Brave browser arrives with an Adblock and similar security features that protect the user from being bombarded by ads during their browsing sessions.
At the same time, the browser also allows users to choose when to watch ads themselves, and for each ad they view, they will be paid in small amounts of BAT. The process has real potential, and it aims to change the way advertising works. Not only will users be encouraged to view ads, but the companies making them will be able to get proper feedback from their targeted audience.
Furthermore, coins earned through the browser may be used for tipping your favorite online content creator, different websites, and alike. In the future, it may also be possible to withdraw BAT tokens and use them for trading, purchasing goods and services, and more.
