I was looking forward to the lightning network implementations on segwit enabled coins, so mainly Viacoin and Litecoin, but now that Bitcoin has segwit, all lightning networks are all going back to Bitcoin, which means the attractive of Viacoin and Litecoin is pretty much lost at this point.
The price rise was expected on the exclusivity of these alts having LN while bitcoin was stuck with no proper LN due no segwit, but this is not the case anymore, so I wouldn't expect much.
