From a big time Bitcoin price prediction to new adoption for EOS, Tron, Binance Coin and Dash, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin
The co-founder of the crypto mining pool Poolin, which powers about 10% of the Bitcoin network, is predicting a huge jump in the price of Bitcoin.
According to 8BTC, Zhu Fa says he believes the next Bitcoin bull run will push the leading cryptocurrency to between $74,000 and $740,000.
Despite the bullish prediction, Zhu says he’s not endlessly optimistic on the price of Bitcoin, and believes the next bull run could be the last.

NEO
NEO is opening a new office in Seattle that will be run by former Microsoft executive John deVadoss.
The smart contract platform says it’s looking to expand its presence and create new partnerships in the US, reports Cointelegraph. NEO founder Erik Zhang says Seattle’s status in the world of tech makes the city an obvious choice.
“Seattle has huge developer resources and a strong atmosphere of innovation, and NEO has always placed great importance in technology development.”
