• Cardano (ADA): Inspired by Ethereum, Cardano differentiated itself with a dual-layer structure running each layer separately, as opposed to Ethereum, where both layers are intertwined.
• IOTA (MIOTA): Based on a proprietary ‘blockless’ blockchain called Tangle, IOTA  is paving the way for a decentralized network to power the Internet of Things (IoT).
• Zcash (ZEC): Zcash encrypts the contents of shielded transactions, ensuring that the sender, recipient, and amount transferred are all kept private.
• TRON (TRX): Tron aims to create a decentralized alternative for digital content distribution via one of the largest blockchain-based operating systems in the world.
• Tezos (XTZ): Tezos’ ICO in September 2018 was one of the largest in crypto history, raising a record-breaking $232 million.

Are my funds insured?

Yes, if you are a US resident, your cash holdings are FDIC insured for up to $250,000.
