There's been a big buzz for the past few weeks about ANS. A big blue ant from a big red country (China) Why is this important?
Because this is a major homegrown Smart Contract platform built in China. Everyone likens ANS to ETH (Ethereum) so personally upon doing research a few months ago I went head first into the anthill.
Now with the buzz I feel people are FOMO'ing (Fear of missing out) on ANS and the price is pumping due to it. As you can see in the first picture they have a major announcement up on their main page for June 22nd. With rumors of the new Smart contract 2.0 to be released, a rebranding, and partnerships lined up I can see why people are FOMO'ing.
A few things to be careful of though is because it is a Chinese grown coin 88.63% of the volume is done with CNY. Only two days ago it was doing over 95% of the volume. So there is a lot of room for it to grow and be accepted on other exchanges, but the prices should be dictated by the Chinese exchanges not Bittrex.
There is so much anticipation and hope for this project and here are a number of articles for your own research if you choose:

But long story short, I think Antshares has a ton of room to grow and the 22nd is going to be exciting to see everything they have in store.
