Bitcoin
Fundstrat co-founder and analyst Tom Lee says Bitcoin is not a fad.

Exciting to see more people in traditional finance world take the long view on digital assets. Just like stock market volatility ≠ the end of stocks, digital assets aren’t going away https://t.co/9pqsGIDS5H

Ethereum
Support is growing for a plan to scale Ethereum in eight months or less.
As reported by CoinDesk, developers are pushing to launch “Ethereum 1x” in June, as an interim solution before Ethereum 2.0 is launched in 2020.
“While the exact code changes that will comprise the upgrade have yet to be settled, active discussions suggest a myriad of different proposals could be activated by June 2019, should a final proposal ultimately be formulated, proposed and approved by users of the ethereum network.”

Zcash surged more than 15%, after Coinbase revealed that its customers can now transfer ZEC to Coinbase Pro. Since then, the coin has come back down to earth and is currently up about 7% on CoinMarketCap.
