tZERO
Investors have fallen in love with Overstock’s tZERO platform which users blockchain to level the ground for those looking to invest in capital markets.

The 0xcert platform introduces a way to create and verify fool-proof digital ownership certificates for a range of articles including collectibles, artworks and more. The project has various tools available for developers to build dApps for the purpose of managing ownership certificates and tokenizing assets.
And then there is RootStock (RSK)
The advent of Ethereum gave rise to the concepts of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts which are crucial for the development of blockchain-based applications for various use cases. While Ethereum is an ecosystem of its own, Diego Gutierrez created RootStock based on Bitcoin blockchain – the first cryptocurrency blockchain. RSK is an open source peer-to-peer smart contract platform that adds value to Bitcoin by expanding its potential to be more than just a medium of value exchange. The platform comes with its own RootStock payment network which is pegged 2-way to Bitcoin. Moreover, through merge mining Bitcoin miners are awarded by RSK.
