Chinese cryptocurrency investors and blockchain enthusiasts have pumped million dollar investments into mainly Chinese crypto assets. As a result projects like NEO, Tron, VeChain, Ontology, Qtum, Nebulas and Bytom had their market cap increased by 20 up to 100 percent. This bullish price action is mainly the result of the Chinese president, who urged the country to embrace blockchain technology and cryptography.

Chinese investments made NEO, a blockchain for smart contracts, become one of the biggest winners over the weekend. From trading just below 7 dollars last week, it's now worth just over 12 dollars. Bytom did even better, moving from 7 dollar cents to 18 dollar cents.

Without a doubt the Chinese crypto pump is the biggest thing that happened to the cryptocurrency space this year.

While Facebook's efforts to introduce libra and give its users easy access to a digital stablecoin, has only been met with scepsis by governments in Europe and the United States.
