As @pebwindkraft comment, it's the new bitcoin segwit address (bech32), it's supported on bitcoin-core v0.16.

Bech32 is a segwit address format specified by BIP 0173. While this address format has been included in some implementations, as of December 2017.

Yup, I should have answered this way :-) +1! There were two interesting discussions in bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2624630.msg26762627#msg26762627 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2664728.0 - just for completing background discussions.
