How High Can Bitcoin (BTC) Go This Year? Pullix (PLX) Completes Development of Trading Platform Ahead of Token Launch

Pullix.io

As Bitcoin (BTC) surges through the $50,000 level, the community speculates how high the cryptocurrency can go this year. But the prospect of a new ATH isn't the only exciting news in the crypto world — Pullix (PLX) has just completed the development of its highly anticipated trading platform, setting the stage for its upcoming token launch. Let's dive into both topics and explore what they mean for the future of crypto. $50,000 Breakthrough: Analyzing Bitcoin's Momentum Bitcoin has rallied from the 2023 lows of under $15,000 to over $52,000 today as investor confidence soars. Such a dramatic climb has many wondering if Bitcoin can continue its ascent and break new records in 2024. It's worth pointing out that a 33% gain from today's price would push it over an all-time high of around $69,000. With a 15.30% in the last week alone, many experts believe Bitcoin could easily surpass these levels in the coming months. The Bitcoin surge in the last year can be attributed to the SEC's approval of a Bitcoin ETF, with roughly $250 million daily inflows into the fund. Such significant demand, combined with the limited supply of Bitcoin, is driving prices higher weekly. While the ETFs are incredibly bullish, other factors favor Bitcoin's long-term growth. For instance, the upcoming Bitcoin halving in 2024 is set to reduce the miner reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block, which would further decrease the coin's supply. Moreover, Bitcoin is being increasingly viewed as a hedge against inflation and an alternative to traditional assets like gold. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, recently stated that " Bitcoin is digitizing gold " and sees cryptocurrencies as a hedge against the devaluation of FIAT currency. With all of these bullish indicators, many experts predict that Bitcoin could reach anywhere between $100,000 ($2T market cap) to $300,000 this year ($6T market cap). Gold has a market cap of $13.50T, so if Bitcoin were to surpass $300,000, its market cap would be less than 1/4 of gold's. Pullix (PLX)'s Hybrid Exchange Model Pullix's platform is designed to bridge the gap between decentralized and centralized trading. It offers a hybrid exchange model that promises enhanced liquidity, superior security measures, and a user-friendly experience that doesn't compromise the autonomy of decentralized trading. One of Pullix's standout features is its non-custodial approach, ensuring that users retain control over their private keys and, by extension, their assets. There's also KYC-free trading, meaning users can start trading immediately without a lengthy verification process. Another benefit to using Pullix is the huge array of assets available for trading. While Binance and Coinbase offer cryptocurrencies, Pullix offers forex, stocks, ETFs, commodities, and more. This variety of options makes Pullix an all-in-one trading platform for beginners and experienced traders. The PLX Token Presale Opportunity The PLX token is set to redefine the utility of exchange tokens by offering "Trade-to-Earn" rewards, governance participation, and a share in the platform's revenue. This innovative approach incentivizes trading activity and aligns users' interests with the platform's success. The completion of Pullix's platform development comes at a crucial time when the crypto market is ripe with speculation about Bitcoin's potential highs this year. As new investors arrive in the market, Pullix's hybrid exchange model stands out above traditional centralized exchanges and decentralized protocols. The ongoing PLX token presale offers early adopters the opportunity to secure discounted tokens at just $0.14 before they are listed on exchanges. With a live platform demonstration available to the public, two trading licenses obtained and listings on both Bitmart and Uniswap, Pullix has the potential to become the next 100x token in 2024.

Price Rally for Cardano (ADA) and Uniswap (UNI) Signals the Start of Alt Season, Everlodge (ELDG) Prepares for Tier-1 Listing

Everlodge

Several tokens in the crypto market are experiencing bullish sentiments, which experts believe could be the start of the alt season. Some of these tokens on a rally include Cardano (ADA) and Uniswap (UNI). Meanwhile, following the end of the Everlodge (ELDG) presale, the token has been listed on Uniswap and looking forward to listing on other tier-1 exchanges. Its surging momentum has put it on the investor's list of top cryptos to invest in 2024. Everlodge (ELDG) Continues its High Sales Despite Conclusion of its Presale Phase Everlodge (ELDG) has continued to see a significant uptrend in the number of investors buying the token on Uniswap. As a result, the Everlodge project is looking to expand its reach by listing on other mainstream tier-1 exchanges in the coming months. Meanwhile, the increased buying by investors is tied to ELDG's massive potential for growth. Having already generated up to 190% ROI for early investors, ELDG is on course to oversee over 350% growth within the year. This makes ELDG one of the top cryptos to invest in 2024. For context, Everlodge is a platform that's looking to positively change the way individuals invest in real estate assets by making them affordable, secure, and profitable. To achieve this, Everlodge has created fractionalized NFTs, which are backed by multimillion-dollar real-world property assets from across the globe. As such, investors who buy these cheap fractionalized NFTs will co-own parts of luxury properties and benefit from the revenue that the properties will generate. With as little as $100, investors can purchase the NFTs that represent these properties. With this investment model, individuals will not need exponential capital before they can invest in real estate. As the value of these properties increases so will the NFT values increase. Meanwhile, the ELDG native token of the Everlodge ecosystem has been making waves in the market, having just concluded its presale phase. With its massive growth potential, investors are buying more ELDG to position for the potential price gains coming soon. At the price of only $0.022, ELDG represents one of the top cryptos to buy now for massive gains in 2024. Positive Price Trajectory for Cardano (ADA) Despite Dwindling Trading Volume Cardano (ADA) is on another round of bullish rallies, having witnessed a retracement in January. While the token has been on a rally in the past week, the Cardano trading volume has been on a negative growth in the same timeframe. For context, the price data from CoinMarketCap shows that Cardano has gained up to 10% within the last week. Meanwhile, the trading volume has been on a 30% decline on a day-to-day average since last week. While the declining market activity is a factor that might impede the growth of Cardano, experts believe the bullish momentum of the token will persist for the time being. As such, experts are predicting a 50% ROI from Cardano tokens before the end of Q2 of 2024. Will Uniswap's (UNI) Current Bullish Sentiment Propel it Above the Resistance Level? The price value of Uniswap (UNI) has been on a significant uptrend trajectory since the start of February. According to the market stats, Uniswap has gained over 16% in price value within the last week. This puts the token on the verge of matching its year-to-date price peak of $7.8, which it attained on December 29th, 2023. Meanwhile, the Uniswap trading volume has been on a decline in the past 7 days, thereby arousing fears of a potential bear trend for the token. Nonetheless, experts believe it is only a matter of time before the Uniswap token surpasses the $8 resistance level. For more information about Everlodge (ELDG) please visit their website.

Standard Chartered: Ethereum (ETH) Could Hit $4,000 By May – All Eyes on Dogecoin (DOGE) and KangaMoon (KANG)

Kangamoon

Following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, all attention turned to Ethereum (ETH). With the first spot ETFs for ETH expected by May 2024, Standard Chartered has predicted that the altcoin price could surge above $4,000. In other developments, Dogecoin (DOGE) has captured attention, with its network hitting a new milestone. Meanwhile, KangaMoon ( KANG ) is fast becoming the preferred meme coin in the crypto community thanks to its community-driven approach. Read on to find out more. Ethereum (ETH) To Hit $4,000 in May – Standard Chartered As the leading altcoin, a spot ETF for Ethereum (ETH) was expected to follow after Bitcoin got it. However, not many expected it to come just months after Bitcoin's ETF approval. Standard Chartered predicts that the US SEC will approve ETH ETFs in May. This expected clearance might significantly increase Ethereum's market value. According to reports, the bank projected a potential increase to $4,000 by May 23. With the Ethereum price hovering around $2,800, this rally could make it one of the top crypto coins to buy. Another factor that could influence the altcoin price is the recent Dencun upgrade. Dencun has gone live on two Ethereum testnets already. With the promise of reducing the cost of transactions for ETH L2 blockchains and making data availability cheaper, Dencun on the mainnet could spark a rally. Dogecoin (DOGE) Network Hits New Milestone, Analyst Expects Price Hike While its price performance hasn't met the expectations of investors, Dogecoin (DOGE) has been growing behind the scenes. The number of new addresses on the Dogecoin network reached a new high on January 29. According to data from IntoTheBlock shared by Ali Charts, users created 247,240 new Dogecoin addresses. This breaks the previous record of approximately 160,000 addresses set in 2014, shortly after the meme coin was launched. The network growth and recent price upswing have piqued the interest of crypto trader and analyst Crypto Patel. According to Patel, DOGE has formed a historic pattern last witnessed in 2021. Crypto Patel stated that if Dogecoin can replicate this incredibly bullish pattern, it may finally break above $1 for the first time. KangaMoon (KANG) Captures the Interest of the Crypto Community Amidst the growing positive sentiments of Dogecoin and Ethereum, KangaMoon (KANG) has become one of the most talked-about memecoins. KangaMoon has gained massive attention for attempting to do things differently in the meme coin space. The project represents the next generation of memecoins with its focus on utility as well as meme culture. KangaMoon is a social-fi project that aims to bring together the meme community under one umbrella. Not only will the project unite meme coin enthusiasts, but it will also create an opportunity for them to earn, adding more excitement to KangaMoon. KangaMoon will reward users based on their participation and activity within the ecosystem. The more you participate, the greater your earnings. Crypto experts have predicted that KangaMoon could become the next big meme coin, making it one of the top crypto coins to buy now.

TRON DAO Unveils Bitcoin Layer 2 Solution Roadmap

TRON DAO

Geneva, Switzerland, February 17, 2024 - TRON DAO, the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) behind the TRON network—a powerhouse in the blockchain world with over 210 million user accounts and more than 7 billion transactions—unveils its roadmap for building an innovative Bitcoin Layer 2 solution. This solution will revolutionize how we think about blockchain interoperability and using stablecoins within the Bitcoin ecosystem. The TRON network is a leading blockchain in the world of stablecoins and decentralized finance (DeFi), commanding an impressive stablecoin market cap of $55 billion and a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $22 billion. This integration will link the TRON network directly with Bitcoin, allowing access to over $55 billion in value to the network, thereby injecting more financial accessibility into Bitcoin and its Layer 2s, like Ordinals. The TRON DAO will venture further into Ordinals and other Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions. Plans are in place to introduce a user-friendly wallet and an array of tools designed to support BRC-20 tokens. Strategic Roadmap Unfolds Stage 1 - α: Expanding Bitcoin Interoperability with Cross-Chain Technology TRON has already facilitated Bitcoin's accessibility through cross-chain connections via exchanges, enabling the seamless transfer of value. This stage will introduce TRON ecosystem tokens, including USDT-Trc20, TRX, BTT, JST, SUN, NFT, WIN, and USDC-Trc20, into the Bitcoin network through breakthrough cross-chain technology, fostering an environment for more advanced interoperability. Stage 2 - β: Growing Collaborations Between TRON and Bitcoin Layer 2 Ecosystems TRON will start forming alliances with multiple Bitcoin Layer 2 protocols, unveiling substantial partnerships that will encourage TRON users to partake in re-staking initiatives and contribute to the prosperity of the Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem. Stage 3 - γ: Unveiling a Unified Layer 2 Solution for Blockchain Efficiency The conclusion of this roadmap will feature the public launch of a Layer 2 solution that synergizes TRON, BTTC, and the Bitcoin network. The high-level goal of this solution is to incorporate the low fees of Proof of Stake (PoS) systems with the security of Proof of Work (PoW) and Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) systems, aligning with Bitcoin Layer 2 to usher in a new era of blockchain efficiency. Wrapping It All Up The launch of TRON's Bitcoin Layer 2 solution, combined with its venture into other Bitcoin Layer 2 protocols and the development of new user-centric tools, marks the beginning of a unified blockchain future. TRON DAO's initiatives aim to enhance blockchain technologies' usability, scalability, and interoperability, paving the way for a more integrated and efficient digital asset ecosystem.

On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens - TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.

Franklin Templeton Eyes Ethereum ETF Spot; KangaMoon and Render Poised As Top Altcoins To Skyrocket

Kangamoon

Franklin Templeton is making a big move in the digital currency market. The company is trying to secure an Ethereum (ETH) ETF spot. Crypto enthusiasts are going wild over this news. But two altcoins, KangaMoon (KANG) and Render (RNDR), are stealing the spotlight. While RNDR is a prominent token, KANG is a Stage 1 presale star that may pump by 100x in 2024. Ethereum (ETH): Franklin Templeton ETF Application Recently, there was some exciting Ethereum news. Notably, James Seyffart announced that Franklin Templeton has joined the spot Ethereum ETF race. According to this application, if everything goes according to plan, the ETF shares will be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange after approval. This news may trigger a rally for this altcoin. Regarding its value movement, ETH has pumped from $2,328 to $2,665 in the past week alone. Its market cap also grew from $279B to $320B in that period. Additionally, 25 technical indicators are showing green for Ethereum. Due to all these reasons, experts predict a surge to $3,530 for Ethereum within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): The Gaming Meme Coin with Substance With Ethereum getting all the attention, KangaMoon (KANG) has come out of nowhere to shake up the cryptocurrency game. The team behind it has decided to do things differently and ensured that this meme coin will put others in their place. Beyond its viral value, KangaMoon brings games into the fold by turning KANG into a main in-game currency. Essentially, KangaMoon will combine Play-to-Earn (P2E) and Social-Fi elements into one game. With KANG, users can purchase in-game items, upgrade their characters, and more. Additionally, KANG token holders will gain access to weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges. By winning these events, you will receive extra tokens and in-game items. Currently, KANG is in Stage 1 of its presale, which has raised close to $150,000 so far. One KANG token is worth just $0.005. However, as this presale advances, this price will increase as well. Given its ties to the NFT P2E game market, which may surge to $885.6M by 2028 (as per Yahoo Finance), its long-term growth potential is excellent. Due to all these reasons, experts forecast this altcoin will experience a growth of 1,000% once a Tier-1 CEX lists it in Q2 of 2024. Market Analyst Wick Makes a Render Price Prediction Meanwhile, Render (RNDR) has also made headlines. According to market analyst Wick, Render's future is looking great. In his new tweet, Wick states that the Render token needs just one weekly candle to close above $4.63 for its price to skyrocket. The Render price has moved from $4.39 to $5.10 in the past seven days. During that period, its market cap also pumped from $1.65B to $ 1.91 B. As this altcoin now trades above its 50- and 100-day EMAs, this bullish trend may continue. Therefore, market analysts forecast growth to $6.59 for Render within Q2 of 2024. Ethereum vs. KangaMoon vs. Render - Which One Soar First? When looking at all these altcoins, Ethereum and Render may seem to be the winners. However, KangaMoon surprisingly only needs $5M for its current price (and returns) to double. This puts them in a prime position to provide bigger and faster returns with fewer new funds. Thus, KANG may be the best altcoin to keep an eye on. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the Kangamoon (KANG) Presale Today!

Gates Ventures, Mayo Clinic Back Tiny Robot Created By $400M Apple Face ID Inventors To Treat Brain Disease

OurCrowd

By Matthew Kalman PrimeSense, the previous company founded by Michael Shpigelmacher, Aviad Maizels and Alex Shpunt, was acquired in 2013 by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) for around $400 million. It was a world leader in 3D sensors that helped power the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Kinect for Xbox 360 and provided the technology behind Apple’s Face ID. Bionaut Labs, the medical startup founded by the trio, is on a very different journey – into the deepest recesses of the human brain. But the company is already making waves. This month, Bill Gates’ Gates Ventures joined its early funders, extending investment to $70 million from a blue-chip roster including the Mayo Clinic, Khosla Ventures, Upfront Ventures and OurCrowd, Fortune magazine reported. The company’s Bionaut, a tiny micro-robot smaller than a grain of rice, is guided through a patient’s central nervous system into a targeted spot in the brain where it can perform minor surgery, deliver therapeutic drugs or return with tissue for a biopsy. Not since Raquel Welch was shrunk and inserted into a patient’s bloodstream in the 1966 movie “Fantastic Voyage” have doctors come so close to targeting life-saving medication so precisely to reach the inaccessible recesses of the human body. The company is testing its technology at a Mayo Clinic facility and is poised to begin clinical trials with five top-tier U.S. medical centers as it applies for FDA approval. Investors can still join the Bionaut Labs funding round via the OurCrowd investment platform. Shpigelmacher, CEO of Bionaut Labs, says he realized that treatments for disease occurring at a specific point in the body – especially the brain – were not being accurately targeted. He likens the effect of existing treatments to “carpet bombing a patient’s body with drugs,” creating “widespread undesired side effects or damage to surrounding tissue and organs.” “There we were, flooding the whole body. It was like having one dirty dish in the sink and bringing out a fire hose that floods the whole house just to wash that single dish,” he says. The Bionaut, guided by a physician using a powerful magnet, can release a payload of targeted therapy directly into a tumor or any other localized target – even deep inside the brain – and head for home. “Surgeries to get to the brain tend to be relatively aggressive and fairly in depth and carry a lot of risks associated with them and a lot of recovery time,” says Dr Bill Loudon, VP of Neuroscience at Bionaut Labs. The blood-brain barrier creates “very significant problems to try to get drugs to where we want it to go. On the surgical side it’s hard to get into the brain and on the drug side it’s hard to get into the tissues.” “The Bionaut has specific advantages that circumvent these problems. It truly represents a whole new level,” Dr Loudon says. The company has developed several micro-robot prototypes, each designed for a different purpose. There is a capsule-shaped Bionaut designed to move through fluid, a corkscrew-shaped Bionaut designed to burrow through tissue and a sharp-pointed Bionaut that can perform microsurgery by slicing through the kind of cyst in the brain that causes hydrocephalus, or Dandy-Walker Syndrome. A Bionaut can carry a therapeutic payload and deliver it directly to the targeted area, which avoids flooding the entire central nervous system. Instead of drilling through several centimeters of brain tissue, the Bionaut can be guided through internal fluids to within millimeters of its target. “We minimize tissue penetration, doing it only for the safest and shortest distance possible. It opens a completely new way of treating brain diseases,” Shpigelmacher says. Each tiny Bionaut contains a powerful magnet that allows it to be remotely controlled from outside the body. The patient has an MRI or CT scan, which the physician uses to plan the safest route to the affected area and then loads the route onto a computer. The patient is sedated and the Bionaut is injected into the central nervous system at the entry point worked out in advance. Then, the computer takes over, guiding the probe to its destination while causing the least possible damage to surrounding tissue as the physician monitors its progress via X-ray. $130 Billion Market “The market for brain and CNS therapeutics is massive – over $130 billion today and estimated to grow to over $200 billion. Most of it is drugs,” Shpigelmacher says. Pharma giants are targeting a wide range of neuro-degenerative conditions including Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, glioblastoma and many more, but they all face the challenge of getting the drugs to the point where they are needed inside the brain. “The problem is, even if you have the best drug how are you going to get it to the target?” Shpigelmacher says. “This is where Bionaut steps in. Bionaut does not aim to replace these drugs or replace these payloads. It aims to provide a way for the drug manufacturer to get their payload to the target. So even if we just focus on neuro-degeneration, brain cancer and epilepsy – that alone is over a $70 billion market today.” “We’re already in discussions with the FDA to take this to the clinic next year. The idea is that by the end of 2024 we will have early human data for the device, and in 2025 we will license it out for broader neurological indications,” Shpigelmacher says. The company hopes to emulate the success of other companies specializing in robotic surgery and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), a leader in surgical robotics, is worth more than $100 billion. Halozyme (NASDAQ: HALO), which partners with major pharma companies to reformulate drugs for precision use, earns millions of dollars each year and is valued at almost $5 billion. “When we started this research, many of the physicians we spoke to, specialists in cardiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology and more, simply asked, ‘When can we sign up?’” Shpigelmacher says.
