Bitcoin, Solana and Borroe Finance Among Top Climbers

Blockchain Digest

With the crypto market finding the right footing based on the bullish momentum being witnessed, Borroe Finance ($ROE), Bitcoin (BTC), and Solana (SOL) are leading the pack based on a couple of reasons. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Borroe Finance With more than 115 million $ROE tokens already sold at the presale level, Borroe Finance is stamping its authority in the crypto space because its primary objective is changing the stakes in Web3 financing. $ROE is Borroe Finance’s native token and its adoption rate is going through the roof because in investors’ eyes, it’s a top crypto to buy. Since innovation pays, Borroe Finance is heeding the call by incorporating cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), non-fungible token (NFT), and blockchain to streamline the Web3 fundraising process. As a result, Borroe Finance is crafting a name for itself as one of the top DeFi projects because its peer-to-peer platform enables Web3 participants to get immediate cash needed to fund their projects by using their future incomes as collateral. Specifically, the future earnings are minted as NFTs, making revenue buying and selling easier. As a result, Borroe Finance is changing the odds in Web3 financing because one of its primary objectives is lowering the barrier to entry in this field. These factors are making Borroe Finance a top climber in the crypto space, making it one of the altcoins to watch. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Bitcoin (BTC) When it comes to the question of which crypto to buy today for long-term, Bitcoin is always top of mind for investors as the pioneer cryptocurrency. Despite the ups and downs witnessed in the crypto market, Bitcoin usually gets the upper hand based on the keen eye of both retail and institutional investors. For instance, the optimism engulfing the Bitcoin network about the approval of spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by leading asset managers, such as Grayscale and BlackRock, is one of the factors triggering a bullish momentum in the ecosystem. Bitcoin has been trying for months to breach the psychological price of $30,000 in vain, but this fate was recently sealed. BTC was hovering around the $34,300 zone at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko data. Heightened on-chain activities have also played an instrumental role in Bitcoin’s price surge based on suggestions by leading market insight provider Glassnode. Solana (SOL) Based on a weekly increase of 35.5%, Solana is showcasing itself as one of the top climbers. SOL was trading at $30.4 at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko. Some of the factors triggering this spike entail heightened social dominance in the Solana network, according to leading on-chain provider Santiment. Therefore, SOL is experiencing growing excitement based on increased mentions, and this is proving to be bullish on the price. Furthermore, Solana is experiencing an uptick in trading volume and total value locked, as showcased by DeFiLlama data. Therefore, these factors are playing a pivotal role in making Solana one of the leading climbers in the crypto market, making it one of the top altcoins.

News Release

What's Drawing Holders of Shiba Inu and Ethereum Classic To Borroe Finance?

Blockchain Digest

Recent market data shows that the new DeFi project BorroeFinance ($ROE) is attracting a large number of fans from the crypto community. This report comes amid ongoing advancements within the Shiba Inu ($SHIB) and Ethereum Classic ($ETC) networks. Let's find out why investors are deflecting from top crypto coins to BorroeFinance ($ROE). Does it have what it takes to take over the realm of $SHIB and $ETC in 2023? >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< BorroeFinance: A Platform With Unparalleled Utility & Gains Due to the level of uncertainty permeating the crypto landscape, investors are massively hurtling towards BorroeFinance ($ROE). This transition stems from the fact that BorroeFinance ($ROE) offers a unique value proposition in terms of use cases and project value. As a utility token, $ROE will undoubtedly increase in value over time, making BorroeFinance one of the best cryptocurrency investment alternatives currently available. BorroeFinance serves as a marketplace for content creators within the Web3 domain to sell their subscriptions, invoices, and royalties for money. $ROE facilitates payment activities within the BorroeFinance ecosystem, such as gas fees and internal transactions. Businesses mint their future invoices as non-fungible tokens on the BorroeFinance platform and sell them off at reduced prices in the marketplace. Furthermore, BorroeFinance uses advanced technologies and blockchain solutions to ensure a seamless user experience. The platform adheres to the standards of Web3, ensuring that value is distributed equally among users. This system drives massive adoption of BorroeFinance ($ROE). $ROE's presale is another avenue for crypto investors to earn maximum returns. $ROE had an initial projection of 300% from its beta stage to the final presale stage. However, first-stage investors have scooped 50% of this remarkable profit outlook, leaving 167% for investors looking to join in now at the second stage, where $ROE sells at $0.015. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Shiba Inu Achieves A Remarkable Landmark Amid Price Decrease The layer-2 scaling solution of Shiba Inu continues to secure astounding landmarks less than two months after its advent. On October 16, Shibarium, the layer-2 protocol of Shiba Inu ($SHIB), accounted for more than 3.5 million cumulative network transactions and 1.2 million blocks created. Amid these positive developments, negative instances have come to light within the Shiba Inu ($SHIB) network. Notably, Shiba Inu recorded a 45% decline in the number of daily transactions. Also, active Shiba Inu ($SHIB) wallets dropped significantly from 789 to 584 between October 16 and October 17. While Shibarium records remarkable successes, Shiba Inu ($SHIB) incurs significant losses. Since the start of October, Shiba Inu ($SHIB) has lost 10.47% of its market value. For context, Shiba Inu ($SHIB) fell from $0.00000752 on October 2 to $0.00000670 on October 18. This consistent decline has caused some institutional investors to consider BorroeFinance ($ROE) while they await positive news from Shiba Inu ($SHIB). With Shiba Inu bears in charge, experts expect $SHIB to retest a close support range at $0.00000646 in the coming weeks. This projection portends an impending 4.29% decrease in the price of $SHIB. Ethereum Classic Sellers Cut Off Buyers Amid Trading Session Ethereum Classic ($ETC) marched into October on a high note. As seen on the charts, Ethereum Classic bulls managed to push the price of $ETC as high as $16 on October 1. However, the gains soon vanished once the Ethereum Classic ($ETC) bears took over on October 2. Between October 2 and October 15, Ethereum Classic ($ETC) slid from $16.70 to $14.94. This descent marked a 10.80% dip in the price of $ETC. As of now, Ethereum Classic is trading at $14.84, following a 3.55% decline from October 16 to October 18. The actions of the sellers impacted the buyers significantly as the futures market for Ethereum Classic ($ETC) recorded massive losses on the side of the bulls. Notably, $109,025 got wiped from the Ethereum Classic futures market, amounting to 98% of open positions at the time. As a result, investors are backing off of Ethereum Classic ($ETC) and showing interest in BorroeFinance ($ROE) instead. Ethereum Classic ($ETC) is currently hovering above a crucial support zone at $14.80. If $ETC breaks this support level to the downside, it will result in a decline to the next support level at $13.54, indicating an 8.81% possible dive, according to analysts.

ES Intelligence Ltd Empowers Investors with Investment Recovery Strategies

King Newswire

ES Intelligence Limited, a leading authority in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, is pleased to announce a comprehensive report aimed at helping investors globally recover their digital assets. ES Intelligence Limited is committed to providing solutions and insights to alleviate these concerns as the fear of losing one's hard-earned investments can deter individuals from participating in the exciting world of cryptocurrencies. Their newly released report, "Recovering Lost Digital Assets: A Guide for Investors," offers an in-depth exploration of strategies for recovering lost digital assets and provides invaluable insights on how to effectively grow one's crypto investments. This comprehensive resource covers various essential topics, including Bitcoin wallet recovery, lost digital assets recovery, crypto investment recovery, and digital asset retrieval, all without touching upon any unlawful activities. ES Intelligence Limited is dedicated to promoting responsible and secure cryptocurrency practices. Their report places a strong emphasis on compliance with legal and ethical standards, ensuring that investors are well-informed without resorting to any illicit activities. If an individual has forgotten their wallet password, the first step is to explore password recovery tools or services offered by their wallet provider. Some wallets offer features that allow users to reset their password through email verification or by answering security questions. Users should utilize these options to regain access to their wallet. Prevention is the key to avoiding future password-related losses. Users should always use secure and unique passwords for their wallets, avoiding easily guessable phrases or patterns. Consider using a reputable password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely. Hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor provide users with a recovery seed, typically consisting of words. This seed phrase serves as a lifeline in case a wallet is lost, damaged, or inaccessible. Users should ensure they have a backup of this recovery seed and store it in a safe and separate location, away from potential hazards such as fire or theft. It's not enough to have a recovery seed; it must also be verified for accuracy and functionality. Creating a test wallet using the recovery seed ensures it successfully restores the Bitcoin wallet. This practice can save individuals from unpleasant surprises when they need it most. In some situations, recovering a Bitcoin wallet may prove to be a complex and challenging endeavor, especially if all available options have been exhausted. This is where the expertise of digital asset recovery professionals can be invaluable. These experts specialize in retrieving lost or inaccessible digital assets. When seeking professional help, caution should be exercised to avoid falling victim to theft of bitcoin. The credentials and reputation of the chosen recovery service should be verified. Recommendations from trusted sources within the cryptocurrency community should be sought to ensure dealing with a legitimate expert. Losing access to digital assets, including various cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin, can be a distressing experience. Whether it's due to a misplaced private key, a forgotten password, or other reasons, there are strategies that can be employed for Lost Digital Assets Recovery. One of the most fundamental steps to prevent digital asset loss is meticulous record-keeping. Maintaining a detailed ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions, wallet addresses, and private keys serves as a lifeline in the event of asset loss. Both digital and physical copies should be kept in secure locations. Remember that prevention is the best cure, and organized record-keeping can help avoid loss in the first place. If individuals find themselves unable to access their digital assets, reaching out to the customer support of their cryptocurrency exchange or wallet provider is often the first line of defense. Reputable exchanges and wallet services have customer support teams dedicated to assisting users in situations like theirs. They may provide guidance on password recovery or offer alternative solutions to regain access to their assets. In cases where traditional methods fail, blockchain analysis firms can be the last resort. These specialized companies possess the expertise to trace and recover lost or stolen cryptocurrencies. They employ advanced tools and techniques to follow the blockchain's trail and identify the movement of assets. While their services come at a cost, they can be invaluable if a significant amount has been lost. It's crucial to exercise caution when engaging the services of a blockchain analysis firm. Researching their reputation and ensuring they have a track record of legitimate recoveries is essential. Unfortunately, the unregulated nature of the crypto space means there are both legitimate and unlawful service providers. Always verify credentials and seek recommendations from trusted sources. In the world of cryptocurrency investment, strategic decisions are paramount to success. As more people seek to capitalize on crypto's potential, there are three crucial factors to consider: Avoid putting all crypto assets into a single basket. Spreading investments across various cryptocurrencies helps reduce risk. Diversification means holding a mix of established coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, along with promising altcoins. Each crypto asset has its unique characteristics and growth potential, making diversification a key risk management strategy. Crypto markets are notorious for their volatility. Rather than attempting to time the market for short-term gains, consider a long-term investment approach. This strategy focuses on a cryptocurrency's fundamental value and utility over time. While short-term fluctuations can be wild, many early adopters who held onto their assets have reaped substantial rewards as the crypto market has generally trended upward. Knowledge is the greatest asset in crypto investment. Before investing in any cryptocurrency, invest time in thorough research. Understand the technology, team, and use cases behind each coin or token. Being well-informed will help make more informed investment decisions, increasing the chances of success in the crypto market. In addition to recovering lost assets, it's essential to take steps to protect digital assets from future losses: Consider using hardware wallets or other forms of cold storage to keep cryptocurrencies safe from online threats. These offline solutions are less susceptible to hacking. Enable 2FA on exchange accounts and wallets to add an extra layer of security. This can help prevent unauthorized access. Keep wallet software and security measures up to date to ensure protection against the latest threats. Reclaiming one's crypto kingdom is a journey that requires diligence, patience, and a proactive approach. Whether dealing with Bitcoin wallet recovery, lost digital assets recovery, crypto investment, or digital asset retrieval, taking the right steps can make all the difference. It's important to remember to keep records, seek professional assistance when needed, and protect assets from future losses. With the right strategies and a careful approach, individuals can navigate the crypto world with confidence and grow their digital wealth.

Singapore / October 24, 2023 / HTX participated in Blockchain Life 2023, the 11th international forum dedicated to Web3, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain mining. The event saw HTX assume the prestigious role of a platinum sponsor and exclusive registration sponsor. HTX not only attracted a myriad of crypto enthusiasts but also fostered insightful conversations, offering a firsthand look at investment possibilities through an impressive array of product showcases and enticing incentives at their visually striking booth. At the commencement of the summit, Justin Sun, a distinguished member of the HTX Global Advisory Board and Founder of TRON, delivered a speech titled "Real World Assets Unlocking Value in the Digital Age." His profound perspectives not only garnered considerable acclaim but also ignited thought provoking dialogues among the event's participants. Sun mentioned, "Today, there are already over 100 CeFi and DeFi RWA players in the industry and the market for tokenized assets could grow to $16 trillion by 2030." The momentum around RWAs will continue to grow and impact the cryptocurrency industry in the way we transfer, settle, and preserve value, he emphasized. Taking stUSDT as an example, Sun explained the additional value that Real World Assets (RWA) bring to the stablecoin arena. He expressed that stUSDT can be seen as a Web3 counterpart to Alipay’s Yu’e Bao, one of the world’s largest money market funds. By forging connections between on-chain assets with tangible real-world assets, stUSDT enriches the investment profiles of users, catering to an array of investment requirements. Furthermore, stUSDT fervently upholds the core Web3 value of decentralization, with a mission to serve a broader community. This implies that through RWA assets, every investor can effortlessly earn passive income and enjoy unfettered access to their assets whenever required, all while relishing the transparency, security, and immutable characteristics afforded by blockchain technology. Sun emphasized that in the ever-evolving digital era, Real World Assets (RWAs) will play a pivotal role in driving widespread cryptocurrency adoption. Their capacity to amalgamate real, recognizable assets with the digital innovations of the crypto sector is poised to redefine the global financial landscape. HTX remains dedicated to the pursuit of innovative opportunities, with the goal of constructing a worldwide crypto ecosystem tailored to a diversity of user requirements, and propelling the extensive utilization of cryptocurrencies. HTX will stay updated about the ever-evolving dynamics of the Real World Assets (RWA) market. Sun commented that “ HTX is one of the major Asian exchanges globally. This year, we have focused a lot of our energy on growing our user base in Asia. We have seen great momentum and great growth in the market. After 1 year of the development, HTX has become one of the very stable, top 5 exchanges in the world together with Binance, Upbit, Coinbase, and OKX.” Since its rebranding in September this year, HTX has once again left a significant imprint on the global crypto arena, marking the initiation of a new chapter in its dedicated pursuit of a global growth strategy. This underscores its strengthening foothold in the crypto market worldwide and its dedication to becoming a major player driving crypto's global development and adoption. In the future, HTX will take the center stage at more crypto events across the globe and expand its international influence. The exchange will also establish close connections with communities and users from various countries and regions, continuously exploring quality products and investment targets to attract broader participants to the crypto market.

Shareholder Urges Microsoft to Boot Jeffrey Epstein Pal from Board of Directors

NLPC

In a letter to the lead independent director for Microsoft Corporation, National Legal and Policy Center has asked for the removal of billionaire Reid Hoffman from the company’s board of directors, due to his hyper-partisan political activities and his connections to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, whose private island Hoffman visited in 2014. NLPC owns stock in Microsoft and is also sponsoring a shareholder proposal at this year’s annual meeting, which will be held on December 7, 2023. LinkedIn, which was co-founded by Hoffman, was acquired by Microsoft in December 2016. He joined Microsoft’s board in March 2017. As NLPC’s Paul Chesser wrote in his letter to the company’s top independent director, Sandra Peterson, Hoffman has shown poor discernment in his associations, poor judgment in his political and social actions, and utter disregard for Microsoft’s reputation and shareholder value. “Reid Hoffman’s wealth and arrogance have clearly gone to his head and he appears to think he doesn’t have to be accountable to anyone,” said Chesser, who is director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project (CIP). “Whether its visiting ‘Pedophile Isle’ with Jeffrey Epstein, or calling the likely 2024 Republican presidential nominee ‘The Disease President,’ or simply advising aspiring entrepreneurs to ‘ignore your customers,’ Hoffman obviously would rather satiate his sensual impulses than properly oversee the fiduciary responsibilities of a major technology company,” said Luke Perlot, associate director and chief researcher for the CIP. In the heavily footnoted letter to Microsoft, NLPC pointed out three major reasons that make Hoffman unsuitable for the board: his close association with Epstein; his unrestrained, hyper-partisan political urges; and his hypocritical views regarding “civic participation” and his own company’s censorship practices. Excerpts from the letter: According to Axios, Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Epstein both aggressively fundraised for the [MIT Media Lab], with Mr. Hoffman also inviting Mr. Epstein to join him at an August 2015 dinner in Silicon Valley that included tech entrepreneurs Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel. In an email to Mr. Thiel, according to the Wall Street Journal, “Hoffman wrote that Epstein was a ‘mostly fun, very interesting guy, you may find him perverse, but very smart on biology, computation, macro econ.’”… Mr. Hoffman’s extremely poor judgment leaves many unanswered questions. Recognizing Mr. Epstein as “perverse,” how did Mr. Hoffman justify ongoing collaboration with the convicted pedophile, who maintained his own luxury island to traffic underage girls to fulfill the sexual desires of himself and his associates? How could a highly educated, savvy and instinctive tech billionaire agree to visit such a place, with such a person, with such a detestable reputation, unless it was intentional, showing utter disregard for his own image and that of the businesses and organizations with which he is identified? … MotiveAI, another firm credited with “with backing from billionaire LinkedIn chairman Reid Hoffman,” ran ads through associated limited liability companies that featured offensive content and disinformation…. Facebook pages with MotiveAI associations made sexist comments about former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and Republican megadonor Rebekah Mercer. One such page called Rep. Gabbard a “C.W.I.L.F.,” which stands for a “Congresswoman I’d like to f---”… Mr. Hoffman…could easily advocate for [LinkedIn] to remain open to all for reasoned political debate, but there is no evidence that he does. In fact, his own history indicates that he encourages such snubs. As a self-styled expert on venture capital-funded startups…Mr. Hoffman recommends one counterintuitive business practice for an alleged path to success: “Ignore your customers.” Is this an image that Microsoft wishes to project? NLPC called for Peterson to ask for Hoffman’s resignation, and if he refuses to do so, then to seek his removal. Hoffman is listed as a nominee for re-election to the board on the company’s proxy statement. “Reid Hoffman has been very successful in business but he has shown very poor judgment,” said Peter Flaherty, chairman of NLPC. “Wealth should not be an exemption from decent behavior. Microsoft will be a better company when Hoffman leaves the board.” Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

Cornerstone FS raises full-year guidance as momentum continues to build

Cornerstone FS PLC

Cornerstone FS PLC chief executive James Hickman joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss a positive trading update from the foreign exchange and payments group. The company has raised its revenue and underlying profit forecasts, maintaining strong momentum throughout its fiscal year. It attributed the strong performance to enhanced sales strategies, which involved a shift from selling as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product to other FX firms to directly targeting markets. With an expanded sales team and strategic hires, the company has seen significant growth in its UK sales sector. Despite these investments, Hickman emphasized the company's dedication to controlling costs, ensuring funds are allocated to areas promising substantial returns. The AIM-listed company has prioritized investments in operational systems, compliance, and regulatory aspects, particularly focusing on streamlining the onboarding process. It also reported an increase in average transaction values and expects this trend to continue incrementally. Cornerstone is expanding its reach, adding more currencies and countries to its offerings, and leveraging partnerships for cost-effective implementations. Hickman remains optimistic about the company's future, emphasizing its commitment to providing customers with diverse currency options.
