The crypto markets are a perfect sea of red today. IOTA is down in the double-digits, which may come as a surprise to some. After all, the foundation has had a pretty successful two weeks.
The Latest IOTA News
On May 2, IOTA disclosed that it has joined the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative. Then, on May 5, word surfaced that IOTA was the sole winner of a partnership with Porsche, a German auto-manufacturer. The aLTCoins foundation will reportedly be working with Porsche on a project, called the Program 4 project.

Three days later, IOTA was leading the cryptocurrency market. The news about Porsche came the same week that the aLTCoin started trading on Huobi. Meanwhile, this week, things are still looking optimistic for the aLTCoin. That is, in terms of announcements.

Late Thursday, the IOTA Foundation announced that it has added Michael Nilles to its team. Further, today, the aLTCoin got a shout out from emerging blockchain service provider BiiLabs. Both of these announcements were positive enough to send the coin towards the bright green light, but that didn’t happen.

What is the Crypto Community Saying about the Coin?
When it comes to discussing the aLTCoin, the crypto community has remained pretty quiet on social media. That said, there are tweets like the one placed below out there. These sorts of tweets show people are thinking about the coin in innovative ways.
