Solana and Dogecoin Price Analysis – A Major Showdown On The Cards

Total Media

Recently, two vastly different tokens have emerged as crypto front-runners, each with unique appeal. Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) have both captured the attention of cryptocurrency enthusiasts worldwide. This article will examine their recent price performance and some developments that may have caused their movements. Solana (SOL): Binance Embraces BONK and Art Flourishes Solana (SOL), the high-performance blockchain network, has witnessed a surge in positive developments, signaling bullish momentum. The Solana price increased by 84.88% in the past month and now trades around $58. Binance's recent listing of the Solana-based meme coin, BONK, has added significant excitement to the ecosystem. Moreover, Solana’s dedication to arts can be seen through the initiation of Artists in Residence which is a lively studio that exhibits the project’s diverse art forms. Solana remains a dynamic force, with 18 out of the last 30 days marked by positive gains and 22.32% price volatility. During that time, the price of SOL jumped from $32 to $57 - a whopping 78% increase. Due to all these factors, market analysts have made a bullish Solana price prediction. They foresee its value surging to $63 by December 2023, showing its robust growth and innovation potential. Dogecoin (DOGE): Surge in High-Value Transactions Dogecoin (DOGE), initially started as a meme, has grown to become a symbol of community-driven tokens. Regarding the Dogecoin price performance, it has jumped by 14.91% in the past 30 days and currently sits around the $0.077 level. In recent news, a surge in transactions exceeding $100,000 was spotted by analyst Ali Martinez. This indicates heightened activity among institutional players and significant holders. Martinez also suggested increased interest in Dogecoin and potential preparation for a notable price upswing. It was also a period of significant Dogecoin transactions including 80M DOGE tokens moved from Robinhood to an unidentified wallet, as reported by Whale Alert. These events indicate some ongoing activities and strategic moves in the Dogecoin ecosystem. For now, Dogecoin is trading above both its 21-day and 50-day EMAs which is a good indicator for it. As such, experts are bullish when making Dogecoin price predictions. A surge is expected to happen as the Dogecoin price is estimated to hit $0.09 before the end of 2023 according to them. An Upcoming Game-Changer Amidst the hype surrounding these titans, Meme Moguls (MGLS) will emerge as an intriguing player in the crypto space. Offering a unique mix of entertainment and profit, Meme Moguls uses meme-driven trends to create a meme-backed stock market. This innovation will help Meme Moguls stand out from the rest of its peers. Among Dogecoin and Solana, this is an important token to look at because it is innovative and aligned with internet culture. Visit Meme Moguls Contact Details Meme Moguls marketing@mememoguls.com

Grayscale's SEC Meeting for Bitcoin (BTC) ETF Unveiled – Solana (SOL) and Everlodge (ELDG) Catching Traders' Eye for Mega Returns

Total Media

The crypto market has been buzzing with anticipation following Grayscale's recent meeting with the SEC to discuss the prospects of a Bitcoin ETF. While specifics remain confidential, this interaction has drawn attention to alternative assets like Solana (SOL) and Everlodge (ELDG), which are gaining traction among traders for their potential growth. Bitcoin (BTC): Rally Following Grayscale's Revealed Memo Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a resurgence in market sentiment following a disclosed memo revealing Grayscale's engagement with the SEC. The memo exposed discussions between Grayscale executives and the SEC regarding converting their renowned Bitcoin trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF. Regarding the Bitcoin price performance, it has displayed resilience, recording a 57% bullish trend over the last 30 days. It increased from $30.462 on October 22nd to $36.455 on November 22nd. Market experts have also made a bullish Bitcoin price prediction, forecasting it to reach $48.954 by December 2023. The transparency and potential regulatory advancements in the Grayscale memo have contributed to Bitcoin's upward trajectory. Solana (SOL): New Cross-Chain Swapper Recently, there was some exciting Solana (SOL) news as well. Initially tailored exclusively for Solana users, Phantom has expanded its scope with a cross-chain swapper. According to the Phantom announcement, the latest feature will facilitate liquidity bridging between Ethereum-based assets and USDC on Solana. Solana's upward momentum is evident as it maintains its position above the 50 and 100-day EMAs, signaling stability and potential for growth. The Solana price increased from $42.21 on November 8th to $54.73 on November 22nd. Analysts are projecting a price surge to $58.63 in their Solana price predictions before the end of 2023. According to them, this cross-chain swapper expands Phantom's utility and strengthens Solana's position as an attractive platform for cross-chain interoperability. Everlodge (ELDG): A Potential Challenger to Bitcoin and Solana While these Bitcoin and Solana developments are exciting, Everlodge (ELDG) will emerge as a promising contender in the crypto space. This rising presale star has already provided early buyers with a 150% ROI while selling 5M ELDG native tokens so far. Traders are confident in its substantial potential to disrupt traditional markets. At its core, Everlodge will establish a one-of-a-kind property marketplace where you can fractionally own a luxurious hotel or vacation home for a low price. It will accomplish this by digitizing and minting these real-world assets into NFTs and then fractionalizing them. This will remove the high entry costs, significantly improving accessibility. Integrating NFTs and smart contracts hints at a future where real estate transactions could become more streamlined. For example, smart contracts will automate all property-related tasks, such as tenant agreements and rent distribution. Therefore, you no longer need to rely on intermediaries like lawyers. ELDG is now in Stage 7 of its presale costing only $0.025. But, unlike Bitcoin and Solana, it has real-world connections to the $280T real estate market while boasting a low market cap. Thus, it may reach its growth ceiling sooner.Experts forecast a surge to $0.038 before its presale ends. Those who buy it now will also participate in a Maldives holiday giveaway.

Umoja Foundation’s charity NFT collection Supporting Ugandan orphans mints November 28 as Giving Tuesday

Umoja Foundation

Umoja Foundation, a philanthropic web3 project, unveiled their first collection of 6,050 charity NFTs set to mint on November 28 as part of Giving Tuesday. Hinging on the limitless possibilities that web3 presents for direct humanitarian impact, Umoja’s mission starts with evolving NFTs into social tokens for good, providing altruistic, real-world utility. Following the likes of mainstream financial companies, such as PayPal, MoneyGram, CashApp, and Venmo, who are adapting their platforms for cryptocurrency, Umoja seeks to usher in a mass adoption era of NFTs by revolutionizing the concept of philanthropy. Umoja believes the next generation of philanthropy belongs on the blockchain, thanks to the numerous benefits it offers, including transparent and immutable transactions that create trust, unique passive revenue opportunities, visible direct impact for patrons, and limitless potential that’s only just begun to be tapped. Ideated by the very people the project supports, each Umoja charity NFT supports orphans and the surrounding needy community of Dasom Ministries Orphanage in Uganda. The 17 resident children of Dasom Ministries, led by Joel Muwonge, are not only the beneficiaries of the project’s proceeds, but the artistic visionaries behind every piece of generative art in the collection as well. Prompts imagined by the children such as “I imagine a lion carrying a young boy [on] its back, running through a body of water” or “I imagine of a woman dressed in a white dress, walking through a field of blue and white flowers” are fed, along with a secret sauce of artistic direction coined by Umoja’s Founder Tiffany Stewart, into a generative art program, creating Umoja’s unique, dreamlike pieces. Proceeds from Umoja’s NFT sales provide direct real-world value by funding Dasom Ministries’ recurring expenses like food, medicine, education, and clothing, along with fixed-cost projects like constructing a larger home, purchasing a transport van, and a clean water project. During the 17-day mint period (representing the 17 children in Dasom Ministries’ care), the debut collection will feature 200 30/30 pieces and 50 1/1 pieces, priced roughly at the Ethereum equivalent of $50 USD and $150 USD, respectively. These price points are designed to create an accessible, yet impactful, entry point for a philanthropic web3 contribution. Available exclusively on Rarible, any of the Ethereum-backed resales of Umoja’s NFTs will generate royalties funding the foundation’s ongoing support. Umoja emphasizes resales as an integral component of its model, stressing the importance of viewing these pieces as an investment in real-world utility: Upon each resale, 7% of the royalties are routed back to Umoja to supply replenishment of resources and ongoing support to Dasom Ministries, as well as expansion efforts. Leveraging the borderless aspects of web3 to bridge the world’s technology gap and better share the wealth, Umoja aspires to become a larger vehicle for social good. Future collections will include animated and physical NFTs, and support wider communities in Uganda, Africa, and elsewhere. ABOUT UMOJA Umoja is a web3 NFT project with real-world utility. We generate art imagined by the kids our proceeds support at Dasom Ministries Orphanage in Uganda. Umoja’s first collection mints November 28, 2023.

unClassic Foods is Changing the Narrative Around Plant-Based Protein With Specialty Mushroom

Prodigy Press Wire

The global meat substitute industry has grown to more than $14.1 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $17.4 billion in 2027, according to research by global business consulting firm EY. Despite this, consumption of plant-based protein still pales compared to animal meat. There are numerous obstacles to widespread adoption of meat substitutes such as sub-par products, unfamiliarity, or cultural reluctance. Luiza Villela, a food scientist and founder of unClassic Foods, says the main reason so-called meat substitutes are not selling as well as expected is because most consumers don’t have a problem eating meat and, in fact, love eating it. Therefore, there is no hurry for the public to stop its meat intake making it extremely hard to convince them to exchange something they like for something they don't like or aren’t familiar with. Villela also noticed that most people see meat alternatives as an inferior product, and that many meat substitute companies feed into this narrative by benchmarking their products against meat, which is considered the golden standard. With products including the likes of plant-based “meatballs” or “chicken”, mimicking even the appearance of meat, giving them the impression that plant-based protein is “fake meat” or lesser than the golden standard. unClassic Foods seeks to challenge this by going the opposite way – by presenting its specialty mushroom products as something that is of superior stature to meat. Currently, unClassic Foods has two products – mushroom steak tips and mushroom nuggets. These are made from high-quality whole oyster mushrooms and are pre-seasoned and pre-cooked, so consumers just need to heat them up or mix with their favorite dishes and serve. Villela aims to raise the profile of mushroom as a main protein source to the point that people would choose it on its own merits rather because of how similar it was to meat. “People don't like inauthenticity. So, if you are selling something that mimics something else, it is really hard to not be the “fake version” of it.” Villela says. “Our specialty mushrooms are not meat alternatives. Instead, they are a new center of the plate. Whenever people think about a meal, they naturally gravitate towards the protein, such as chicken, beef, fish, pork. We are positioning mushrooms as another member of the main protein category. Mushrooms will be at the center of the plate as the protagonist of the dish.” In the future, unClassic Foods seeks to expand its operations, initially targeting food service clients in the fast casual dining category in California. After that, it will target the retail segment, bringing its mushrooms to a wider audience through major supermarkets’ shelves. “Mushrooms definitely have the potential to be a new center of the plate, because it has the presence, texture, and umami flavor the people like, without having to pretend to be meat,” Villela says. “Most people only think about white buttons or champignon when it comes to mushrooms, but there is much more, with specialty mushrooms only making up 2% of the US market. We use a special variant of oyster mushrooms that has around 13% protein, compared to only 3% for regular mushrooms. We also do not add any isolates or concentrates, instead using the entire flower of the mushroom, not just the stems and other byproducts.” Despite hailing from Brazil, a country well known for its meat, Villela became vegan both for health reasons and out of concern for the animals being used in the livestock industry. However, she also recognizes that eating meat has been part of human life and culture for thousands of years, and reducing meat intake is a gradual process that cannot be forced. After finishing her degree in biology at University of California, Berkeley, she has worked for several meat and dairy substitute producers, including the global market leader. Throughout her career she saw flaws in the messaging and presentation of the products, which she seeks to correct with unClassic Foods. “The way the industry tries to convince people to change their diets is by mentioning the environment,” she says. “However, this is completely abstract, and the bottom line is, no one cares. Very few people go to the grocery thinking about the environment when they're buying food. No one says 'I'm definitely going to stop eating steak' when they see that a particular meat substitute product uses 90% less land and 90% less water than beef. People don't necessarily need something to be exactly like meat. If it's delicious and it's truly healthier for them, they will make the change.” Media contact: Name: Luiza Villela Email: luiza@unclassicfoods.com Release ID: 807203
