While all the headlines are about Bitcoin, savvy investors know which alcoins provide real value these days. With so many different species, it's hard to make an informed decision. Below are the most promising coins for investors who want to purchase profitable blockchain assets, rather than chasing big names.

If new funds are created, they will also use ICN tokens. 100 million tokens were issued in 2016, and their price is expected to rise this year.
Basic Attention Token

In December, Monaco announced that its MCO token would be listed on three additional cryptocurrency exchanges. Some Monaco cards give holders access to airport lounges. The wide range of services offered by Monaco will undoubtedly lead to higher MCO prices, provided that the company provides cards to users on a long waiting list in a timely manner.
