News Release

Ripple Partners with Onafariq, Solana News Suggests Everlodge Price Could Rally

Total Media

Africa is one of the most populous continents in the world, with around 50 countries and a population of 1.4 billion. But it lags behind in terms of financial inclusion which is why many Web3 entities such as Ripple, EMURGO’s Cardano, Solana, and Everlodge are trying to integrate crypto and fintech in Africa. Ripple is Accelerating Cross-Border Payments in Africa One of the most tricky things for African business ventures is sending payments, particularly across countries. That’s why Cardano recently had a Web3 summit about Africa, and Emurgo and Cardano set up the African Web3 social network/news site Nodo. Ripple also sees the importance and potential for Africa with crypto, and that’s no doubt behind their latest alliance. "Sub-Saharan Africa has proven to be a bright spot of crypto adoption, with consumers in countries like Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa employing digital assets for real-world, day-to-day purposes," said Ripple’s Aaron Sears. The partnership between Ripple and leading African payments fintech Onafriq aims to promote financial inclusion by enabling efficient remittances into Africa. Onafriq, formerly known as MFS Africa, will connect companies PayAngel, Pyypl and Zazi Transfer to its network that extends across 40 countries and 500 million mobile wallets. Ripple’s overarching aim is to revolutionize global payments through blockchain technology. Collaborating with Onafriq represents another step towards bringing the benefits of faster, cheaper payments to African communities. Solana’s Superteam is Connecting African Talent with Web3 From Solana’s perspective, as well as the many other blockchains like Ripple, as we have seen, Web3 promises greater financial inclusion, entrepreneurial opportunities, and youth empowerment. That’s why they’ve created the Solana Superteam. Through bounties, grants, jobs, events, and education, Superteam wants to empower African talents to learn, earn, and connect across Solana’s ecosystem. Solana Superteam makes it easier for people to access remote work and the gig economy - which is on the rise in Africa. Contributors earn crypto rewards matched to their skills while grants will fund entrepreneurial visions to build homegrown solutions on Solana. By joining the Solana Superteam chapter in Nigeria, African workers gain resources and exposure to help them thrive in Web3. Everlodge Helps Emerging Economies to Gain Access to Financial Investment Everlodge is another project that recognizes the importance of Web3 and financial inclusion. While Ripple focuses on payments and Solana on talent and building, Everlodge has property investment in its sights. Everlodge describes itself as “where Airbnb meets web3” and is building a network of vacation property rentals. These properties will be tokenized on the blockchain, fractionalized, and offered to investors for as little as $100. Background checks, credit checks, red tape, and geographic restrictions are no longer a problem, and neither is not having the capital to become a part of the rental market. With Everlodge, investors from around the world including Africa, will be able to add properties that generate rental income to their portfolios. The Everlodge token - ELDG - underlies the ecosystem, and grants access to special bonuses like vacation stays which can be enjoyed by holders, or rented out for extra income. ELDG is in presale at $0.025 and will launch at a 50% gain from the current price, upon which analysts are forecasting a possible 30x rally on the day. Given the bullish approach to Africa from Ripple, EMURGO, Solana, and more, this small-cap token is certainly one to watch. Visit Everlodge Contact Details Everlodge PR Team media@everlodge.io

Will The Solana Price Hit $80? Polygon (MATIC) Looks Undervalued

Total Media

In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, the spotlight often shifts between different tokens, each promising potential gains and exciting developments. Two such tokens currently in the limelight are Solana (SOL) and Polygon (MATIC). This article provides an in-depth look at Solana's recent price surge and whether it could reach the much-anticipated $80 mark, followed by an analysis of Polygon's current valuation and its growth potential. Solana's Impressive Rally: A Detailed Look Solana, known for its fast transaction speeds and scalability, has recently witnessed a remarkable surge in the market, making it a topic of keen interest among investors. In the last 30 days, Solana's price spiked nearly 30%, climbing from $25 to around $43, signaling a robust recovery mode driven by heavy buying pressure. Crypto analyst Pentoshi, with a significant following on Twitter, has been optimistic about Solana’s trajectory. After accurately predicting Solana's rise to $42, Pentoshi suggested the potential for "turbo pumps" this month, which could push the token's value to new highs, possibly reaching $58 to $60. Furthermore, he speculated on the chances of Solana even hitting the $80 mark during this surge. The recent performance of Solana corroborates this bullish sentiment. The decentralized exchange (DEX) volume on Solana's platform soared to a yearly peak of $466 million on November 11. Additionally, the total value locked (TVL) in Solana rose by a staggering 81% over the last month. The week preceding this saw trades worth $2.25 billion on Solana, marking a nearly 60% increase. Polygon (MATIC) - How Undervalued is it? Turning our focus to Polygon (MATIC), this token has also shown significant upward momentum. The price of MATIC has risen over 15%, trading near $0.85, with bulls eyeing a move toward the $1 level. This surge is backed by a strong increase above the $0.75 resistance against the US dollar, trading above the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). Additionally, there's a key bullish trend line forming with support near $0.775 on the 4-hour chart of the MATIC/USD pair. If Polygon clears the $0.850 and $0.880 resistance levels, the rise could continue further. After forming a base above the $0.65 level, MATIC broke several hurdles near $0.70, moving into a positive zone, much like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This movement suggests a solid breakout, with the price overcoming key resistance levels. Moreover, Polygon's current price prediction is optimistic, with an 18.12% rise expected, reaching $1.057030 by November 19, 2023. This bullish sentiment is supported by the Fear & Greed Index, which is currently at 69 (Greed), indicating strong market confidence. Additionally, Polygon is predicted to reach as high as $3.41 by 2024, considering historical price movements and BTC halving cycles. A Fresh Opportunity in the Crypto Space In addition to these established cryptocurrencies, it's worth considering emerging players like Meme Moguls ($MGLS). Meme Moguls is a unique platform offering a meme-backed stock market/exchange. It provides opportunities such as a staking pool for passive income and a vibrant community for meme enthusiasts and traders. Currently valued at just $0.0021, Meme Moguls presents significant growth potential, with market experts predicting a 100x growth for $MGLS. Contact Details Meme Moguls pr@mememoguls.com

Harnessing The Power Of Gamma-Delta T Cells In Cancer Therapy: IN8bio’s Innovative Approach

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Why Are Gamma-Delta T Cells Important In Fighting Cancer? Gamma-delta T cells belong to a unique group of immune cells that have qualities of both the innate and adaptive immune systems. They have a complex set of receptors that allow them to differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells. Their multifunctional nature enables them to directly kill cancer cells and activate other immune cells to destroy tumors. What makes gamma-delta T cells particularly promising is that they can eliminate cancer cells without prior exposure to a specific antigen. This means they can trigger a more comprehensive immune response, making them valuable candidates for both solid and hematological cancer therapies. Gamma-delta T cells are also more durable than other innate immune cells like Natural Killer (NK) cells, which have shown to be less effective in clinical trials because of lack of persistence. How IN8bio’s Innovative Platform Helps Advance This Promising Research Field IN8bio's innovative DeltEx platform forms the basis of its extensive pipeline, comprising both preclinical and clinical product candidates. The platform is specifically designed to target cancer cells effectively, with the ultimate goal of potentially eradicating them and improving patient outcomes. Central to IN8bio's approach is their advanced expertise in genetically engineering and manufacturing ex-vivo, expanded and activated gamma-delta T cells. This expertise allows them to produce these immune cells in a way that enhances their therapeutic potential. In addition, IN8bio has developed proprietary gamma-delta T-cell engineering techniques that are unique to the field. This engineering is aimed at improving the cells' resistance to chemotherapy, making them even more effective in combating cancer. Another key feature of the DeltEx platform is the use of proprietary advanced, next-generation closed-system manufacturing technology. This scalable method enables the efficient production of gamma-delta T cells – ensuring a consistent and reliable supply for potential treatments. Importantly, IN8bio's engineered DeltEx cells show broad applicability across multiple types of cancers, both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. These unique properties have resulted in scientists focusing on developing cancer therapies based on gamma-delta T cells. It is projected that by 2028, the gamma-delta T cell cancer therapy market will be at $4 billion and one company seems to be leading the charge, IN8bio (NASDAQ: INAB). IN8bio is a biotechnology company that specializes in developing novel therapies based on gamma-delta T cells. Its innovative technology focuses on harnessing the potential of these cells to effectively target and eliminate cancer cells in both solid and hematological tumors. IN8bio's pipeline consists of a range of preclinical and clinical investigational therapies that aim to address various types of cancer with large unmet needs. Many of its lead product candidates are being developed for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. The solid tumor market was valued at $209.61 billion in 2021, and it's expected to reach $901.27 billion by 2029. The drug candidate, INB-200, may be useful in treating solid tumors, including glioblastoma (GBM). GBM is a highly aggressive type of brain cancer with no cure, leading to a grim prognosis and an average overall survival time of only 14 to 16 months. INB-200 is a genetically modified autologous product candidate. This novel platform called drug-resistant immunotherapy, or DRI, utilizes genetic engineering to generate chemotherapy-resistant gamma delta T cells that can be administered concurrently with standard-of-care treatment in solid tumors. This is a powerful, synergistic treatment approach enabling gamma-delta T cells to persist in the presence of chemotherapy and maintain their natural ability to recognize, engage and kill cancer cells. It is designed to activate and expand Gamma-delta T cells in order to enhance the body's immune response against cancer. Leukemia, with a specific focus on Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), is another area of interest for IN8bio. The AML market is projected to to grow from $3.5 billion in 2022 to $6.1 billion in 2028 – representing a CAGR of 10%, while the MDS market which was worth $ 3.3 billion in 2022 is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.3% over 2023-2030. IN8bio's INB-100 is an allogeneic-derived, gamma-delta T cell product candidate aimed at addressing the unmet need in these areas. While there are some companies, such as Adicet (NASDAQ: ACET) and Century Therapeutics (NASDAQ: IPSC), studying gamma-delta T cells, IN8bio's DeltEx platform sets them apart from competitors in the field of cancer therapy. Its expertise, proprietary techniques, and scalable manufacturing process potentially position it as a leader in harnessing the potential of gamma-delta T cells for the development of innovative and effective cancer treatments.

Nikolaos Cacos, at the helm as President and CEO, brings over three decades of expertise in the junior mining sector, and Vice President of Exploration Miles Rideout also has over 30 years of experience in exploration and social and community relations. The Company’s board of directors brings a breadth of technical and financial acumen. The $90 Million Investment Argentina Lithium’s growth trajectory has been significantly bolstered by a $90 million investment in Argentina peso equivalent by Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: STLA), one of the Big Three American automakers looking to make its mark in the electric vehicle arena. The company secured a 19.9% ownership in Argentina Lithium's subsidiary via its own Argentine subsidiary. This partnership includes a lithium offtake agreement and future investor rights, suggesting a long-term commitment to the company’s success and setting the stage for expanded development and corporate purposes. Lithium’s Global Significance Lithium’s importance spans industrial, technological and medical applications. It is pivotal in the production of heat-resistant glass and ceramics, plays a critical role in aircraft construction and serves as a mood stabilizer in medical treatments. However, perhaps most important of all, lithium is indispensable for the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Lithium-ion batteries, utilized for their efficiency and high energy storage capacity, are the linchpin in EV performance, dictating battery range. Approximately eight kilos of lithium carbonate are used in the average EV battery system, underlining the extensive demand for lithium as EV adoption accelerates. Continuous improvements in lithium battery technology are enhancing the performance of EVs, reinforcing lithium’s central role in the transition to low-carbon transportation. Exploring The Future The strategic movements of Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp., supported by a seasoned management team and a significant investment from an industry leader like Stellantis, potentially position the company as one to watch in the lithium exploration arena. The stage seems set for mass electric vehicle adoption and the expected accompanying surge in demand for lithium. Now, it’s all about execution and capitalizing on this growth potential.

Steakholder’s (NASDAQ: STKH) New Beef Ink Is Helping Make Commercial-Scale Steak Printing A Reality

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga Last month, Steakholder Foods (NASDAQ: STKH) launched Beef Steak Ink, the latest in its line of plant-based meat inks made for the company’s proprietary 3D bioprinter. The Israel-based 3D bioprinting cultivated meat company is a leader in the emerging lab-grown meat market thanks to its innovative technology that aims to give manufacturers a scalable, easy-to-adopt solution for developing hybrid (cultivated meat mixed with plant-based) products with realistic flavor and texture. Steakholder Foods Reports Its Ink And Printer Tech Make Cultivated Meat More Realistic And Easier To Produce At Scale At the heart of the B2B-focused company’s offering is the 3D printing technology designed to realistically mimic the texture of different cuts of meat. While researchers have been experimenting with cultivating meat cells in a lab for a while, one of the key challenges they’ve struggled to overcome is achieving the right texture. The flakiness of a fish fillet or the tender yet fibrous mouthfeel of a steak comes largely from the way muscle and fat cells grow inside a living, moving animal. As such, mimicking that texture with lab-grown cells is challenging, and many of the cultivated meat products on the market today are modeled on easier-to-mimic textures like meatloaf, meatballs and patties. With Steakholder Foods’ 3D printers and ink, however, achieving the texture of more complicated cuts like fish fillets or steaks is becoming possible. The ink is made with plant-based ingredients formulated to mimic the taste, texture and appearance of the meat they will become. After adding the desired proportion of cultivated cells, the printer can produce a structured hybrid product in a matter of minutes that’s ready to cook. Steakholder Foods’ 3D Bioprinting Process Finally Gives Businesses A Way To Potentially Efficiently Produce Hybrid Products At Commercial Scale The 3D printing process is completely controlled digitally and can go from digital design to ready-to-cook product in a matter of minutes. By combining that speed with the fully automated function of Fusion Pro 3D bioprinter, Steakholder Foods seems to have broken through one of the key barriers that had been holding manufacturers back from developing cultured meat products: scalability. With this industrial-scale technology, manufacturers finally have a way to produce tons of Hybrid meat products per month. Once the user designs the product they want in the software, the 3D printer can get to work perfectly recreating that design over and over again. Investors will have a chance to see that scalability in action as the company signed its first multimillion-dollar agreement in July to establish a large-scale production facility. The pilot facility will be built in partnership with a Gulf Cooperation Council-based government body in the Persian Gulf. “After intensive years of development, Steakholder Foods is excited to sign this first agreement with a strategic partner, generating our first income stream that represents one of the first substantial income agreements for a company in the cultivated meat industry, a huge step forward,” said Steakholder Foods CEO Arik Kaufman in a statement on the news. The launch of beef ink is part of Steakholder Foods’ broader strategy to develop a diverse portfolio of hybrid meat products that businesses can use to create realistic cuts of meat or design innovative products that would have been impossible with traditional meat. After the initial sale of the 3D printer to businesses looking to develop their own custom-cultivated meat products, this growing portfolio of inks is expected to serve as a source of recurring revenue for Steakholder Foods.
