IOTA now has a market cap of $4.9 billion, making it the ninth-largest cryptocurrency. The price jump comes amid a general bull market for the majority of coins and tokens.

This included two external reviews and security audits. This is important at a time when new cryptocurrency investors are continuing to flood into the space, and there is frequent frustration with the complexity of exchanges and key management. That said, it remains to be seen whether the current excitement over these partnerships and the release of the new wallet will translate into sustained price support
