Appeared in IOTA, the digital currency is completely different from the existing virtual currency, promising to replace Bitcoin

Startup virtual currency IOTA has partnered with Microsoft, Fujitsu and more than 20 other companies to launch the first freely accessible data market for the Internet of Things.

Allowing holders to share, make money from their data safely, this initiative is trying to prove that there is a data market that cannot be stolen. When uploaded to IOTA's non-central ledger, all data will be distributed to many points (nodes) to ensure that it cannot be changed.

IOTA is currently the 9th largest currency in the virtual money market based on the market value of Coin Market Cap, with a market capital value of $ 2.95 billion. It is worth noting that IOTA uses a very interesting new technique to distribute and decentralize the ledger.
