I'm shocked IOTA isn't on this list.

Companies like Bosch and Fujitsu are already creating uses for it in IoT.

There're already a few IOTA-powered electric vehicle charging stations in Europe. It's instant and fee-free, with very little overhead (no power consumption problem).

Since it cannot be mined via PoW, there are already efforts to create "mining pools" were universities can rent CPU/GPU power from "miners" using IOTA, that way miners are performing valuable computations rather than just a bunch of redundant math.

Honestly the list would be even more cringy if IOTA was there. The codebase is so terrible, the wallet management so cumbersome, and it has so many security concerns that I can't even understand how any company would push for that other than fad of riding the blockchain train.

Plus the IRI is written in Java, that's totally rock the socks off the IoT world, right?
