This article will take a look at ten cryptocurrencies that have interesting developments lined up for the month of June, which could also have a positive effect on their price.
Stellar (XLM)XLM is the native token of the Stellar foundation. Originally based on the Ripple protocol, it was created on June 2016 by Jed McCaleb, who had just left the latter.
Its aim is increasing financial inclusion in territories which are devoid of financial institutions. In addition, it assists firms in connecting with one another through the use of their technology.
It is also known for its tiny fees, which are a fixed 0.0001 XLM.
The Stellar network will soon update to Protocol 17. On June 1, there will be a public network upgrade vote. There will be numerous updates, such as the Stellar Core v.17.0 and Horizon v.2.3.0.
XLM has decreased considerably since it May 16 highs at $0.798, currently being 46% below them. However, it has bounced at the $0.35 area, creating two long lower wicks, which are a sign of buying pressure.
ICON is a blockchain protocol for decentralized applications. It focuses on interoperability, meaning that it assists independent blockchains in operating with each other. The native cryptocurrency of the network is ICX.
One of the more interesting developments in the ICON platform is EPICX, which is a decentralized gamified trading platform. The beta version of it will be launched on June 1.
Furthermore, old ERC-based tokens will be swapped for new tokens on the native ICX mainnet on the ICONFi app, on June 8.
ICX has been decreasing sharply since May 8, falling by 74.59% in 15 days. This culminated with a low of $0.79, on May 23, right above the 0.78 Fib retracement support level.
Ethereum is a decentralized open-source blockchain. The native currency employed in the blockchain is ether (ETH). It was officially launched in July 2015 by Vitalik Buterin.
The Ethereum platform also allows for the creation and management of decentralized applications (dApps). So far, more than a thousand have been built on the platform.
In addition, as noted with ICX in the prior section, other cryptocurrencies can use their ERC-20 compatibility, in order to be hosted on the ETH blockchain.
ETH activated the Berlin hard fork on April 15. This takes it one step closer to ETH 2.0. In the lead up to the London hard fork in July, three mainnets will be tested in June:
ETH has been decreasing since reaching an all-time high price on May 12. However, it bounced at the $2,050 support area, on May 23, and created a bullish engulfing candlestick the next day.

BTT will hold an airdrop in June. The snapshot for it will be taken on June 10, in which all addresses holding BTT will receive a non-fungible token (NFT) airdrop.
BTT has been decreasing inside a massive descending wedge since reaching an all-time high, on April 5. The wedge is considered a bullish reversal pattern. In addition, it has bounced at the $0.0035 support area.

Zcash is a decentralized cryptocurrency, whose main focus is anonymity and privacy. Unlike the majority of other cryptocurrencies, which are pseudonymous, ZEC is fully anonymous. This means that it does not reveal the identity and public address of its users.
It does this by using zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proof technology. ZEC was released in October 2016.
The Zcon2 Lite conference will be held on June 8-9. It is an annual conference which will focus on the Zcash ecosystem and more broadly on privacy themes. Furthermore, the NU5 testnet will be activated on June 30.
ZEC began to decrease, on May 12, and continued the downward movement for 11 days. Throughout it, it fell by 76.30%, culminating with a low of $87.38, on May 23.

DUSK has been decreasing since April 9, when it reached a high of $0.46. The downward movement continued for 44 days, inside which the token lost 81% of its value. It culminated with a low of $0.0842 on May 23.
