NEM: up 14,000%
Though NEM, and its virtual currency XEM, are lesser known, the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has done particularly well in 2017 (up 14,000%)! Just shy of an all-time high, NEM's market cap is nearing $5 billion.
Similar to Ripple, the buzz with NEM is all about its blockchain and the ability to transfer money securely and efficiently. However, NEM appears to be broadening its reach beyond just enterprise clients. It's all about peer-to-peer payments and transfers, regardless of whether it's person-to-person or business-to-business. With the NEM Foundation based in Singapore, its partnerships have primarily been concentrated in Southeastern Asia.
Perhaps most notable was the September announcement of a partnership between NEM and the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), a government-owned institution charged with managing digital infrastructure and security, and advising on technology-related laws in Malaysia. The MDEC also promotes relationships between high-tech businesses, meaning this partnership could lead to an abundance of Malaysian (and perhaps Southeast Asian) companies testing out NEM's blockchain and incorporating its token, the XEM.
