Conceptualisation of the Enjin cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrencies have caused a lot of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) lately. Following Elon Musk’s announcement that bitcoin will no longer be accepted as a payment for Tesla vehicles, bitcoin value fell by as much as 20% in 24 hours, reaching its lowest level since 1 March.

Once again the cryptocurrency market proved to be highly volatile. Since bitcoin has been struggling to maintain its bullish traction, a plethora of new altcoins show a strong potential for multi-bagger profits.

In this article, we discuss the two newest cryptocurrencies that have the potential to grow over time. 

Newest cryptocurrencies with the potential to cause a market disruption

Internet Computer (ICP)

The cryptocurrency universe never fails to amaze. A new name has recently entered the list of the newest cryptocurrencies to watch and quickly became one of the most talked-about coins on the market.

This newest crypto is Internet Computer (ICP). It was launched on 10 May 2021 and is listed among the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the world already. Within the first day of trading the cryptocurrency spiked from $146.45 to $737.20 and consolidated around $318.00 four days later on 14 May 2021. The ICP market cap is $39.4bn, according to CoinMarketCap. 

Like the Ethereum blockchain, the Internet Computer blockchain uses smart contracts to power various apps and networks.

Developers can use the Internet Computer blockchain to create websites and other internet resources such as social media and web applications and decentralised finance (DeFi) apps.

However, unlike Ethereum, the Internet Computer blockchain is much faster and less expensive, and its speed and capabilities are comparable to the internet.

The distinguishing feature of Internet Computer is its proprietary protocol, Internet Computer Protocol, which is designed to allow anybody to create software or publish information on the internet without relying on web services from large corporations such as Amazon, Google or Facebook.

Its founder Dominic Williams, chief scientist at Dfinity, claims that the protocol offers a hack-proof infrastructure, lowers costs and is interoperable.

Newest cryptocurrencies to invest in for 2021

Enjin coin (ENJ)

While Enjin token (ENJ) was released in 2017, it did not gain mainstream acceptance until January 2021.
