Binance Launches Native CHZ, Will BorroeFinance Rise To Compete With BNB?

Blockchain Digest

Top digital asset marketplace Binance has proclaimed its intention to support and integrate the Chiliz (CHZ) 2.0 network. Meanwhile, BorroeFinance ($ROE) continues to print green candles, leading investors to question whether $ROE could rise to compete with one of the top crypto coins, BNB. Can the new DeFi project contend with the established crypto? Let’s find out! >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Binance Lists The Native Token of Chiliz On October 20, Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, announced that it would support the Chiliz 2.0 mainnet. This move marks a remarkable development for Chiliz (CHZ) and the blockchain and digital asset ecosystem as a whole. Accordingly, it will open up new possibilities for fan tokens, developers, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Alexandre Dreyfus, a well-known figure in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sphere, also notified the crypto community about the successful launch of the new Chiliz chain in partnership with Binance. Besides providing support, Binance intends to list its own CHZ token on the Chiliz 2.0 blockchain and help users move all listed fan tokens to the new chain as smoothly as possible. Binance’s decision to support the Chiliz chain integration is a major turning point, as it brings together one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges with a project that is revolutionizing fan engagement and tokenization. This partnership opens up new opportunities for developers and projects to create innovative products that leverage the power of fan tokens in tandem with established exchanges. The trading experience of users would become smoother as they migrate to the new Chiliz layer. Meanwhile, CHZ surged alongside other assets on the crypto market in the past week. Between October 16 and October 22, CHZ rose 11.61% from $0.056 to $0.062. Given the recent development in the Chiliz ecosystem and the ongoing rally in the crypto market, analysts expect CHZ to climb 6% higher from the current price of $0.066 to $0.070. BorroeFinance Prepares For A 167% Jump While Binance has made a move that could set the price of BNB on a trip to the top, investors are keen on knowing if $ROE can easily rival it. BorroeFinance is a new DeFi project represented by its native token, $ROE. Many chartists and crypto veterans believe in the potential of $ROE to set a precedent that tallies with other established assets, describing it as one of the best cryptocurrency investments to capitalize on. What makes BorroeFinance a project worth investing in is its real-time problem-solving capabilities. BorroeFinance serves as a marketplace for content creators and users of Web3 to connect with buyers interested in their creations. Here, they can tokenize their future invoices as NFTs and sell them at discounted prices. Also, BorroeFinance, through its advanced capabilities, offers solutions to the problems of traditional finance. As a top DeFi project focused on Web3, BorroeFinance ($ROE) integrates the core attributes of Web3. These characteristics include transparency, inclusivity, and decentralization. Another reason $ROE is dubbed the best crypto to buy is its presale projection. The token is currently trading at $0.015 in the second stage of its presale. With its target price for the presale cycle at $0.040, $ROE is set for a 167% liftoff to attain this level. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Bears Resist The Binance Coin (BNB) Although the latest move made by the crypto behemoth Binance is expected to affect its native token, BNB faces pushback at a pivotal level. Since retesting $228 on October 23, BNB hasn’t been able to surpass this level. The inability of BNB to exceed this level is due to heavy resistance at the $228 threshold. Notably, BNB began its ascent on October 16, rising from $209.8 to the current price of $226.9. During this timeframe, BNB recorded an 8.16% growth in price. This rally comes amid the ongoing recovery in the general market. Predicting the future of the Binance coin (BNB), experts have shared their perspectives on the potential price level for the asset. Analysts say that BNB could hit $243 if it escapes the bears at $228. That would require a 12.6% increase in the price of BNB from the current level for a further surge to be possible.

Introducing the TechClusion Fund

Communication Service for the Deaf

CSD Social Venture Fund, a subsidiary of Communication for the Deaf, is proud to announce the launch of a new funding source for tech startups that prioritize inclusion and accessibility for deaf communities. The TechClusion Fund is a groundbreaking initiative that addresses a common oversight in technology development: accessibility. The fund was created with the intention of accelerating technology built by companies that create accessible products and services that benefit the Deaf community. Over the past 30 years, our society has experienced a rapid evolution in technological advancements. While these advancements generally improve our lives, we often see accessibility features added as an afterthought instead of being built into the original product design. This practice makes the user experience less than ideal for both those who do and do not use these features. “Accessible technology doesn’t just benefit Deaf communities,” explained Rosa Lee Timm, President of CSD Social Venture Fund. “When companies design their products with the needs of Deaf or disabled users in mind, they create a better experience for all users.” The TechClusion Fund was started with the intention of addressing these systemic and prevalent issues in tech by ensuring that entrepreneurs and developers are intentionally creating their products with all end-users in mind. “We expect that the impact of the TechClusion Fund will extend beyond the development of accessible products,” shared Greg Bland, Director of Business Development for CSD Social Venture Fund. “By focusing on startups who hope to have a positive impact on Deaf communities, we will see job creation and more opportunities for economic advancement for Deaf individuals.” Unlike CSD Social Venture Fund’s traditional VC funding, TechClusion is open to all tech-startups operating in the United States and not specifically Deaf-owned businesses. Applicants must demonstrate the following: How their work will positively impact Deaf communities. This can be through hiring Deaf and hard of hearing employees, Deaf ownership, or outlining how their product or service will contribute to deaf communities. A commitment to equitably hire Deaf, BIPOC Deaf, and other Deaf groups for various positions at levels of the company, including C-level positions, as the company grows. A commitment to both their company and TechClusion’s investment. For those who are interested in applying or learning more, you can visit CSD Social Venture Fund’s website or contact Rosa Lee Timm at svf@csdsvf.com for more information. CSD's Social Venture Fund is one of the only venture capital firms and incubators in the world supporting Deaf entrepreneurs and Deaf-owned and operated businesses. CSD SVF provides equity investments to Deaf-led businesses that exemplify CSD’s values: enhancing Deaf economic power, employing Deaf people, and creating social change. CSD SVF is committed to the success of each business, providing not only financial investment, but also access to tools and resources, enabling each Deaf-led business to thrive. Existing portfolio members include Mozzeria, National Deaf Therapy, DeafTax, Bus Door Films, Hands on Travel, Hotsy Totsy Haus, 4Legz All Natural Dog Treats and Lochiel Brewing.

PathAI Announces Research Presentations at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s 38th Annual Meeting

PathAI

PathAI, a leading technology company which combines AI-powered pathology solutions with end-to-end central pathology and histology services, today announced it will present research underscoring the efficacy of PathExplore’s human interpretable features (HIFs) through three poster presentations at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s 38 th Annual Meeting on November 1-5 in San Diego, CA. The posters showcase how PathExplore provides high-resolution characterization of the tumor microenvironment (TME) through a standardized panel of HIFs derived from H&E whole slide images across multiple cancer types. Additionally, Incendia Therapeutics will present two posters reporting results that were generated utilizing PathExplore. “Building upon past publications and presentations, we continue to see the utility for histological features of the tumor microenvironment to further our understanding of disease biology, patient prognosis, and therapeutic response, which ultimately may lead to the discovery and implementation of novel biomarkers to advance precision medicine,” explained Mike Montalto, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, PathAI. All three posters demonstrate the correlation between specific HIFs and established molecular measurements of the TME (e.g., gene expression profiles of specific cell populations), as well as specific HIFs and complex molecular signatures (e.g., immune phenotypes) which could better aid in the identification of patients eligible for targeted therapies, or result in the identification of new histology-based biomarkers. Quantifying the effect of microsatellite instability and mismatch repair deficiency on the tumor microenvironment (Poster 73) In this research, PathAI investigated the potential to predict and compare microsatellite stability and mismatch repair subtypes in colorectal and endometrial cancers utilizing PathExplore HIFs. The findings suggest MSS/dMMR tumors may warrant consideration for immunotherapy due to their TME’s similarity to microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and tumor mutation burden-high (TMB-H) solid tumors and AI-powered analysis of H&E WSI presents a more accessible and scalable method than current dMMR testing options. This poster will be presented by Judy Chen and Shima Nofallah on Friday, November 3 rd. Poster hall hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. PT. Quantification of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from pathology slides reflects molecular immune phenotypes (Poster 122) In this research, PathAI deployed its PathExplore products on H&E WSI across eight cancer indications to extract HIFs quantifying the TME, including features that represent TIL fractions, densities, and distributions. Analysis revealed statistically significant correlations between TIL-associated HIFs with gene expression of known lymphocyte markers, as well as immune signature scores such as lymphocyte infiltration. These results show the predictive power that TIL-associated HIFs have for identifying immune phenotypes, as well as a promising direction for the discovery of histology-based immune biomarkers. This poster will be presented by Judy Shen on Saturday, November 4 th. Poster hall hours are 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. PT. Deep learning models identify key tumor microenvironment features associated with genetic signatures of UV metagenesis and alkylating agent treatment in melanoma (Poster 110) In this research, PathAI used PathExplore HIFs to investigate the association between TME features and mutational signatures indicative of UV mutagenesis, as well as alkylating agents-induced mutations. The results suggest that quantifying a tumor’s tissue and cellular composition can reveal meaningful information regarding the underlying mutation-driven or treatment-induced changes in the TME, which may have implications for therapy selection. This poster will be presented by Shima Nofallah on Saturday, November 4 th. Poster hall hours are 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. PT. Incendia Therapeutics (formerly known as Parthenon Therapeutics) posters In addition to the posters above, Incendia Therapeutics will present two posters on Friday, November 3 rd reporting results that were generated utilizing PathExplore. One poster (Poster 1287) compares PathExplore HIFs to mIF features and concluded that "TME models are a robust tool to distinguish tissue and cell features from H&E slides, comparable to mlF image analysis, but requiring less effort, time, and expense." In the second (Poster 1497), Incendia Therapeutics leveraged HIFs quantifying lymphocyte densities across cancer epithelium, cancer stroma, and the epithelial-stromal interface (ESI) to characterize barriers to lymphocyte entry into the cancer epithelium across immune phenotypes. More information on these posters can be found at https://www.incendiatx.com Please visit the PathAI booth, 615, to learn more and meet the team, or email us at bd@pathai.com. About PathAI PathAI is the only AI-focused technology company to provide comprehensive precision pathology solutions from wet lab services to algorithm deployment for clinical trials and laboratory use. Rigorously trained and validated with data from more than 15 million annotations, its AI-powered models can be leveraged to optimize the analysis of pathology samples to improve efficiency and accuracy of pathology interpretation, as well as to better gauge therapeutic efficacy and accelerate drug development for complex diseases.

Nearly A Third Of Advisors Are Seeking Alternative Investments For Their Clients — But A Self-Directed IRA Is Needed To Invest

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga According to a recent survey by the Financial Planning Association, 28% of advisors were actively investing in alternatives for their clients while 19% said they were considering adding them within the next one or two years. The growing interest in alternatives comes as more and more investors look for more creative ways to protect their retirement accounts from high interest rates and increasing volatility in the stock market. Alternative investments like precious metals or real estate can help provide needed diversification to your retirement portfolio in markets like this one. But most IRAs from a bank or brokerage will only hold the assets that they sell so, for most investors, that means they’re limited to stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds. So if you want to add alternatives to your IRA, you’ll need to set up a self-directed IRA (SDIRA). Here’s how. Find An SDIRA Custodian The first step to opening an SDIRA is to choose a custodian that will hold the account for you. One of the biggest factors that determine which custodian you go with is what kind of assets they are able to hold. If you want to invest in cryptocurrency, for example, you need to make sure the custodian you go with can hold crypto. Beyond making sure the custodian can hold your preferred investments, you also want to look at what tools and services they offer to help you manage them. One of the unique advantages of The Entrust Group, for example, is the myDirection visa card. For investors in real estate, the IRS requires all expenses related to their investment properties to be covered with funds from your SDIRA. With most custodians, that means submitting a check request anytime you need to pay property taxes or utility bills, make repairs or pay for a renovation. It’s slow and usually carries a fee for each check. With the myDirection card, you can skip all that and just swipe a card. Instead of waiting and paying fees on checks, you can pay for expenses as they come up, paying just a one-time $25 setup fee and a quarterly administration fee of $9. Entrust’s online client portal also makes it easy to see the status of all of your investments at a glance, complete and submit paperwork online, and even browse new investment opportunities in the Entrust Connect marketplace. Named the best online portal in the space by Investopedia, it offers one of the most convenient and user-friendly platforms for managing alternative investments of all kinds. Decide Whether To Set Up A Traditional Or Roth SDIRA Just like a regular IRA, an SDIRA can be traditional or Roth.. And the best choice for you really comes down to your investment goals and strategy. Traditional IRAs are funded with pre-tax dollars, meaning your annual contributions can lower your taxable income right now, but you’ll pay taxes on it later when you start making withdrawals. A Roth IRA, on the other hand, is funded with post-tax dollars, meaning your taxable income right now stays the same. But since the money you deposit has already been taxed, it won’t be subject to tax again when you start making withdrawals, provided certain conditions are met. While there are multiple factors that go into this decision, it basically comes down to whether you expect to be in a higher tax bracket now or after retirement. Set Up Your Account Once you’ve chosen your custodian and figured out which type of account you want to open, the next step is to go ahead and open it. When doing that, you’ll typically pay a one-time account establishment fee, which can range from $50 to $360 or higher. After that, you’ll also pay an annual administrative fee, which can range from about $150 to $2,000 or higher. At Entrust, the annual fee is a flat $199 per year for accounts under $50,000 with just one asset or $299 per year for accounts with two or more assets. When your account is larger than $50,000 (excluding cash), you’ll also pay a small percentage on the asset value over $50,000. Fund Your New Account Once your SDIRA is set up, the only thing left to do is add your funds. You have three main options for this. The simplest is to just make direct contributions to the account via check or direct deposit. However, you can only contribute up to the maximum amount allowed by the IRS each year. That limit includes all contributions made to any IRAs you have. So if you’ve already maxed out your contributions for the year, your best option for funding your new SDIRA is with a transfer or rollover of your existing IRA or a previous employer’s 401(k). With a transfer, you are moving an existing traditional or Roth IRA over to your new SDIRA custodian. It’s important to remember that with a transfer, the account type must remain the same - so from one IRA to another IRA. Since the funds inside it aren’t paid out to you in the process, the account remains tax-protected, and you don’t have to worry about contribution limits. With a rollover, you can move funds from an employer-sponsored plan like a 401(k) to a new retirement plan or IRA. It can be direct: from one institution to another. Or it can be indirect: where the account holder briefly takes possession of the funds to facilitate the rollover. Whichever route you take, you can initiate the process online through Entrust’s Client Portal. For those ready to take their first steps towards a more diverse portfolio, the Basics Guide from Entrust offers a full breakdown of the essentials needed to get started with self-directed investing.
