After the Ethereum Classic hardfork, all ETC owners will receive a new cryptocurrency
The ETC hardfork is planned on the block of 5,500,000, or March 5. All owners of Ethereum classic will automatically be credited with Callisto (CLO) tokens in a 1 to 1 ratio.
The new Callisto Blockchain is built on the Ethereum protocol and will be aimed at testing experimental protocols, new scaling solutions and a management system that provides additional incentives for miners and holders.
Callisto is the Cold staking protocol, which rewards coin holders for being members of the network. The Blockchain will work on the consensus of Proof-of-Work (POW).
The developers of Ethereum Classic could not make ETC a full-fledged competitor to ETH. With a new project, they returned interest to their cryptocurrency. Quotes of ETC are going up in anticipation of the hardfork

Monero Hardfork promises even more secure transactions
Hardfork of Monero will occur within the next month. The launch of the new cryptocurrency MoneroV (XMV) is planned on the block 1529810, which is expected to be generated on March 14, 2018. All owners of Monero will receive free XMV coins in the ratio 1:10.
It is assumed that the new cryptocurrency will allow more confidential transactions with a smaller commission and solve the scalability problems. To this end, in the first quarter of 2019, developers promise to implement the new MimbleWimble protocol instead of the current CryptoNight protocol.
It is noted, that the maximum anonymity - one of the main qualities of Monero, which became the reason for its popularity. This cryptocurrency is more often used for financial transactions in a darknet. On February 15, Monero ranks 13th in terms of capitalization among all cryptocurrencies.

The number of cryptocurrency hedge funds doubled in four months
The number of cryptocurrency hedge funds continues to grow amid its volatility. According to the Autonomous NEXT study, there are now 226 global hedge funds in the world. Back in October 2017, there were only 110 of them, and at the beginning of last year 37. The total share of their assets is estimated at $ 3.5 to $ 5 billion.
Compared to the peak price at the end of 2017, when bitcoin costed nearly $ 20,000, in early 2018 it lost 70% of its value. After it, the entire market of cryptocurrencies fell.
According to the Eurekahedge industry tracker, in January hedge funds focused on cryptocurrencies lost an average of 4.6%, while on average the hedge funds' return for this period was 8.25%.
However, Autonomous NEXT experts believe that this will not stop the flow of investment in cryptocurrencies and the creation of new investment funds. Strategies for the funds are different: some invest in bitcoin in long and short positions, some are invested in a basket of cryptocurrencies, and the rest earn on the difference between rates on different exchanges.
