APP

Historic rebrand affirms APP’s commitment to inclusivity and providing best-in-class services for pickleball players of all ages and abilities, ranging from elite pros to recreational and amateur players; APP also launches new website that provides a content-driven, interactive, user-friendly experience for all The APP has officially changed its name today from the Association of Pickleball Professionals to the Association of Pickleball Players, a small but important distinction that reflects the APP's role as a catalyst and steward of pickleball for all players regardless of age or skill level – from the world’s elite pros to the tens of millions of amateur and recreational players. The landmark rebrand was unveiled today at the APP's annual signature event, The Boca Raton APP New York City Open, held at one of the most prestigious venues in sports – the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows. To strengthen its commitment to being a world-class digital platform for the sport of pickleball worldwide, the APP has also unveiled a new website, live now via TheAPP.global. The new website will be content-focused, user-friendly, and powered by the players, with content featuring players of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, with a significant focus on pro players. The APP’s new digital home will feature the latest news and information on APP events, compelling content, photos, and statistics on APP players, stories from across the worldwide pickleball landscape, and easy access to merchandise and tickets. The update to the APP’s official name reflects its role as a leader for pickleball’s worldwide growth, for all players. In March 2023, the APP revealed its latest round of pickleball participation research, highlighting the incredible ascension of America’s fastest growing sport - revealing that 48.3 million American adults have played pickleball at least once in the 12 months ending March 2023. This high-growth group ranges from the elite professionals who compete on the APP Tour and who are regularly featured on ESPN2 and CBS Sports Network, to the tens of thousands of amateurs who actively compete in tournaments, to recreational players simply playing pickleball for the love of the game. The APP represents one and all.

The future for the APP is very exciting and we’re only just getting started.” “The Association of Pickleball Players is a powerful proposition, one that points toward the APP’s exciting future,” commented APP Chief Marketing Officer, Tom Webb. “Elite professional and amateur tournaments and competition remain at the heart of our organization, as our new website demonstrates, yet we are firmly reinforcing the APP as a home for all pickleball players.” “This is the first of what will be a series of innovative, exciting updates from the APP, all driven by our focus on creating the best platforms for pickleball players to compete, to share their love of the game, and to shine a light on what makes pickleball so special.” About the APP Founded in 2019, the Association of Pickleball Professionals (APP) elevates the sport of pickleball by providing elite platforms for the best players in the world, right through to the millions of people picking up a paddle for the first time. Serving professional pickleball players, senior professionals, amateurs and recreational players in the fastest growing sport in the USA, the APP is the first and only tour officially sanctioned by USA Pickleball. The 2023 APP Tour slate has 16 tournament stops planned, in addition to International and Collegiate Series events.

News Release

5 Kryptowährungen, die besser als Pepe Coin performen könnten: COPIUM, AI, SPONGE, GEN oder MONG - Wer macht das Rennen?

Finance News

Die größten Kryptowährungen nach Marktkapitalisierung zeigen weiterhin keine nennenswerte Bewegung. Der Bitcoin als digitale Leitwährung notiert unter 27.000 Dollar und viele weitere Coins aus den Top 100 müssen Verluste hinnehmen. Auch Pepe Coin hat nach seinem rasanten Aufstieg auf mehr als 1,6 Milliarden Dollar Gesamtwert wieder stark abgebaut und bewegt sich derzeit bei einer Marktkapitalisierung von etwas mehr als 600 Millionen Dollar. Allerdings steht der nächste Pepe schon in den Startlöchern und einer der 5 Coins in diesem Artikel könnte bereits ein würdiger Nachfolger sein. Was hat Pepe Coin so erfolgreich gemacht? Pepe ist ein Meme-Coin der es geschafft hat, einen regelrechten Hype und eine extrem starke Community aufzubauen. Seitdem Bitcoin, Ethereum und Co. nicht mehr weiter kommen, weichen viele Anleger auf Meme-Coins aus, da hier noch innerhalb von wenigen Tagen tausende Prozent Rendite erzielt werden können. Pepe hat für die Marktkapitalisierung von weit mehr als 1,6 Milliarden Dollar nur 3 Wochen gebraucht und damit einen Run auf Meme-Coins ausgelöst. Das zeigt auch, dass sich vor allem in der Anfangszeit schnell die Spreu vom Weizen trennt und die nächsten 5 Coins haben alle einen starken Start hingelegt und somit das Zeug zum nächsten Pepe. 1. $COPIUM Copium hat die besten Voraussetzungen, der nächste Meme-Coin zu werden, der eine Marktkapitalisierung von mehr als einer Milliarde Dollar erreicht. $COPIUM ist erst seit wenigen Stunden handelbar und liegt laut Dextools bereits mit mehr als 500 % im Plus. Bei einer Marktkapitalisierung von mehr als 9 Millionen Dollar und über 2.000 $COPIMU-Holdern in dieser kurzen Zeit stehen die Chancen gut. Auch die Tatsache, dass in den ersten Stunden bereits ein Handelsvolumen von mehr als 42 Millionen Dollar erreicht wurde spricht für sich und legt die Vermutung nahe, dass bald zahlreiche Top-Kryptobören auf den Coin aufmerksam werden und ihn listen dürften. Der Twitter-Account hat es innerhalb kürzester Zeit auf über 16.000 Follower geschafft und wenn COPIUM in diesem Tempo weitermacht, würde einer Marktkapitalisierung von einer Milliarde Dollar nichts im Weg stehen. 2. AiDoge ($AI) AiDoge.com ($AI) ist ein Meme-Generator, der schon jetzt im Vorverkauf extrem von dem Hype rund um Meme-Coins profitiert. Auf der Plattform wird es möglich, mittels künstlicher Intelligenz Memes anhand von Texteingaben zu erstellen. In einer Zeit, in der das Thema KI allgegenwärtig ist und Meme-Coins im Minutentakt erstellt werden, trifft AiDoge hier genau den Puls der Zeit. Das macht sich auch daran bemerkbar, dass AiDoge bereits im Presale mehr als 9,5 Millionen Dollar mit dem Verkauf der $AI-Token umgesetzt hat. $AI wird auf der Plattform benötigt, um Credits für die Meme-Erstellung zu erzeugen. Damit ist $AI ein Mix aus Meme- und Utility-Token, was die Wahrscheinlichkeit deutlich erhöht, sich auch langfristig durchzusetzen. Pepe Coin ist nach seinem rasanten Aufstieg auch genauso schnell wieder abgestürzt. Durch den Mehrwert, den AiDoge.com ($AI) liefert, könnte sich hier ein beständiges Wachstum ergeben, das $AI einen langfristigen Platz unter den Top 100 Coins nach Marktkapitalisierung schafft. Jetzt $AI zum günstigen Vorverkaufspreis sichern. 3. SpongeBob $SPONGE Auch der SpongeBob-Token ($SPONGE) hat in seiner noch sehr kurzen Laufbahn schon beeindruckende Erfolge vorzuweisen. $SPONGE ist in der ersten Woche beinahe auf eine Marktkapitalisierung von 100 Millionen Dollar angestiegen und hat auf Twitter inzwischen mehr als 42.000 Follower. Innerhalb der ersten 2 Wochen wurde der $SPONGE-Token an zahlreichen Top-Kryptobörsen gelistet, da hier täglich mehrere Millionen Dollar Handelsvolumen aufkommen. Wenn man bedenkt, dass PEPE 3 Wochen gebraucht hat, um überhaupt bei den Exchanges gelistet zu werden, hat $SPONGE hier einen Raketenstart hinter sich. Kooperationen mit anderen erfolgreichen Krypto-Projekten zeigen, dass das Team hinter $SPONGE noch viel vor hat und dem Token, der auch immer in den Trends auf Dextools auftaucht, noch eine große Zukunft bescheren könnte. 4. $GEN $GEN hat ebenfalls beachtliche Erfolge in den 5 Tagen seit seinem Bestehen vorzuweisen. Der Token ist seit dem 14. Mai handelbar und kommt aktuell auf eine Marktkapitalisierung von rund 10 Millionen Dollar. Auch der Twitter-Account ist auf über 12.000 Follower angewachsen und auf Dextools.io taucht $GEN immer wieder unter den trendenden Coins (Hot Pairs) auf. Mit mehr als 4.500 Holdern bildet sich bei $GEN auf jeden Fall eine starke Community, die den Preis und die Marktkapitalisierung noch stark antreiben könnte. 5. $MONG $MONG hat zwar schon deutlich höher im Kurs gelegen als es derzeit der Fall ist und die Community musste hier auch schon hohe Verluste verkraften, allerdings schafft es $MONG ähnlich wie $SPONGE, sich schon seit mehreren Wochen immer wieder in die Trends von Dextools zu katapultieren. Aktuell liegt $MONG unter den Hot Pairs auf Platz 2 und zeigt, dass das Interesse immer noch sehr groß ist und auch das Handelsvolumen liegt mit runt 10 Millionen Dollar sehr hoch. Meme-Coins, die es schaffen, nach mehreren Wochen die Aufmerksamkeit der Community nicht zu verlieren, haben die besten Voraussetzungen, der nächste $PEPE zu werden.

500NewsWire

Explaining that the accumulation of beautiful things is not the end all be all, she instead focuses on combining elements and themes that inspire individuals to have richer experiences and deeper connections with friends and family. “We knew we had something different in this property throughout its build. The materials and the application were extremely elevated and one of a kind. The home was built by our client, a family, with the intention to live in it for many years, so they were willing to invest in the design and quality not typically seen in spec homes today. We were surprised and delighted when they called to tell us they were moving out of state. says Max de Melo, managing partner of America One Luxury Real Estate. He continued, explaining the appeal of this land, “but when the appointments layered in, the responses to it were palpable... there was a fundamental human response happening we had not seen before.” “The property is perfectly scaled,” says Patrick Niederdrenk, another of the group’s managing partners. “Its modest footprint bears the advantage of being conveniently manageable; however, its verticality and proportion are pure luxuries enabling one to transition beautifully into life’s next adventure.” Together, the powerful duo – comprised of Maximilian and Patrick – continuously prove their keen eye for the future of the luxury real estate landscape and are ushering in a new era of homes with this extraordinary and insightful project.

This Fintech Is Finally Making Daily Payouts For Tipped Workers A Reality In The Post-Cash Era

Benzinga

By Johnny Rice, Benzinga With the advent of fintech and neo-banking, many issues and pain points that have long plagued the traditional financial system have been alleviated. Accessing personal finances has never been easier. Whether applying for a loan, budgeting or cashing a check, much of an individual’s financial life is mediated digitally. This has meant huge growth for the industry. Fintechs have received billions in funding from investors and VCs looking for the next “unicorn”, looking to repeat the explosive success of companies like Block Inc (NYSE: SQ) or PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: PYPL). That growth will likely be driven by innovative companies that continue to find problems and solve them, helping with issues that everyday people experience. One of these major issues is payment for those in the service industry. Payment can be inconsistent and complicated due to splitting tips – often making up a lion's share of their income. Beyond a mere inconvenience, this can lead to major issues, like cash shortages while waiting for payday that lead to a worker needing to rely on a predatory payday loan. Getting paid daily can be life-changing for many in the industry. Waiting for payment on labor already performed can, in a sense, be viewed as extending an interest-free loan to your employer. This is one reason why fintech company XTM Inc. (OTCQB: XTMIF | CSE: PAID) has seen much success and rapid growth as of late. The company, founded in cloud banking, has a flagship product called Today Financial, which makes it easy for companies to pay their employees every day, including the tips collected that very same day. Today Payments offers a portal that lets businesses easily manage their payments and tips across multiple locations. It includes tip calculation that removes human error and cost. For employees, Today offers an app called Today Financial, that allows workers to keep track of their finances, spend their money easily and enjoy various perks like cash back rewards, purchase protection and more. XTM started in Canada, where it enjoys a large market share, and is now expanding into the US market – about 11 times the size. The company believes its sound business plan, great product, and attention to the needs of its users will allow it to thrive in the US. This article was originally published on Benzinga here.

CEEK's Land Sale: A New Era Of Virtual Real Estate In The Metaverse

CEEK Metaverse

By James Wells, Benzinga Step into the metaverse with CEEK’s revolutionary land sale, the gateway to a thrilling new world of virtual real estate. CEEK’s virtual land sale offers creators and developers a lucrative chance to buy virtual land and curate distinctive immersive experiences within the CEEK metaverse. With a thriving community of over 7 million users and high-profile partnerships with popular major brands and celebrities like Dwayne Wade, Lady Gaga, Meta, and Apple, CEEK is leading the charge for Web3 metaverse adoption. This innovative offering generates new revenue streams and opens the door to exciting ventures for the entertainment, media, and music industries, as well as their fans. The following discussion will examine the mechanics of CEEK’s land sale, explore the potential of the CEEK metaverse, and explain why CEEK could be poised to dominate the entertainment industry in the years to come. Understanding The Metaverse And Its Growth Potential Metaverse technology is set to be one of the most transformative and lucrative opportunities of the decade. According to a report by Mckinsey, by 2030 the value of the metaverse could reach $5 trillion. The metaverse can be thought of as a limitless canvas that invites users to explore new realities beyond our physical world. With its ability to blur the line between the physical and digital worlds, the metaverse is poised to disrupt a multitude of industries, including gaming, education, and shopping. Among these, the entertainment industry stands out as a key area of potential. The intersection of entertainment and the metaverse is valuable because it empowers artists to interact and engage with their global fan base in novel and immersive ways. CEEK is at the forefront of this trend and has the potential to become a trailblazer. By offering fans and creators alike the opportunity to take part in the CEEK Land sale, CEEK is poised to generate value for both users and creators in this emerging digital landscape. What Is CEEK Virtual Land? Purchasing CEEK Land is akin to buying a plot of land in a digital world. Each plot is a unique, non-fungible asset that can easily be transferred, monetized, or traded with advanced marketplace functionality. There are only 100,000 parcels of CEEK land in the metaverse, making it a scarce and limited asset. As a landowner, you have complete control over your virtual real estate, allowing you to customize and build it as you see fit. You can create experiences, games, and apps and even host events to earn rewards in the form of tokens. The Benefits Of CEEK Virtual Land The CEEK metaverse’s distinguishing features are its focus on decentralization, value creation, and inclusivity, which are fundamental pillars of Web3. This is achieved through the use of the Ethereum blockchain to power CEEK Land, allowing equitable and transparent distribution of ownership and revenue among all participants in the entertainment ecosystem. In terms of CEEK Land, there are several benefits to land ownership. A few of the most notable perks include: NFT Marketplace: CEEK landholders can participate in the NFT marketplace, where they can sell and purchase virtual properties, potentially generating revenue. Staking: Landowners can stake on other venues for rewards that are proportional to their contribution percentage. Complete Control: Landowners can create a diverse range of apps, experiences, and games on virtual land. Hosting Rewards: Landowners can earn a percentage of ticket sales and advertising for events hosted on their virtual land. How CEEK’s Land Sale Works Individuals interested in becoming landowners can create a CEEK account and browse the CEEK Virtual Land marketplace. Prospective buyers can purchase land with their MetaMask wallet or CEEK wallets, with additional wallets to be added in the future. There are 7 types of land within the CEEK metaverse, each with varying reward opportunities and rarity. These types are as follows: Moreover, there are several other factors that influence the value of CEEK virtual land. A few of the most important factors to consider are: Location: Location creates varying utility and experience opportunities. For example, if you plan to build an aquatic-based game, it may be advantageous to be near a water source. Popularity: The value of a location also depends on the surrounding events in the area. For example, land that is near concert arenas and celebrity villas will likely grow in value due to the traffic in their proximity. Rarity: Not all land is made equal, some land is more rare than others. Rarity is calculated based on the total number of plot sizes that are that size. CEEK: The Future of Virtual Real Estate? With a user-friendly design, a diverse range of opportunities and an impressive list of partners, CEEK Land is an attractive choice for those interested in the CEEK metaverse. As an industry-leading metaverse platform, CEEK might be well-positioned to lead the way for Web3 adoption within the entertainment industry. Just as a seed needs time to grow into a mighty tree, CEEK LAND in the metaverse will require time as artists, users and developers work together to drive its development. However, with a promising roadmap ahead, including plans for VR headset integration, the future looks like it could be bright for CEEK LAND owners. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. CEEK Metaverse is a streaming platform that empowers creators to monetize their work through NFT's, concerts, events, avatars, digital merch and social games that traverse multiple virtual worlds. An award-winning distributor of blockchain authenticated digital media and celebrity merchandise, CEEK Smart VR Tokens allow Ceekers (CEEK community members) ability to access authenticated content and celebrity merchandise with transparent tracking and automatic creator payments via smart contracts.

Derby Stars Gallops into a New Era of Horse Racing Game with Early Access Launch

Derby Stars

Derby Stars, a horse-racing metaverse game on Polygon blockchain, has opened its “Early Access” version from February 27th to March 20th. Developed by a team of experienced game developers, Derby Stars promises to be an exciting new addition to the world of digital horse racing. The game offers players an immersive experience within a beautiful grassland and various racetracks, where they can train and race their own horses, breed new horses and compete in thrilling Player versus Environment (PvE) and Player versus Player (PvP) competitions. “Through the “Early Access”, the team hopes to get as much feedback as possible because Derby Stars is a game built together with the users,” said Sean Hahm, Executive Producer of Derby Stars. “We have worked tirelessly to create a game that truly captures the excitement and thrill of horse racing, and we are confident that the Early Access version is a great representation of what's to come." The main story of the game starts as the user gets a job as a new jockey at a stable run by a trusty ranch manager, Risa. She and other unique NPC characters will guide through the game for the player to become the Derby Champion. The players not only have to train their horses for higher levels but have to strategize according to the weather, types of racetrack, and horses’ tendency and condition in order to win the race. The game also combines the excitement of real-life horse racing with cutting-edge technology and blockchain integration, providing an unparalleled gaming experience. “The gaming industry’s NFT market is projected to hit $291.7 billion by 2028 and we believe that Derby Stars will take part in changing the gaming landscape.” Said Sean. “Derby Stars is at the forefront of revolutionizing both the digital horse racing industry and the ways blockchain games are developed.” During the early access period, players can not only enjoy the in-game contents but also a range of missions and events. Through completing various missions, players can level-up their horses and earn in-game tokens. Also, players can compete with fellow Derby Stars gamers for a chance to win a bigger prize and to become a champion. After the Early Access, an Alpha version of Derby Stars will be released later this year. Players can expect more features such an avatar customization, stable management simulation, rental marketplace, and more. The “Early Access” version is available on PC and Mac, and anyone with Derby Stars Horse NFT can play. This version can support Chinese (traditional and simplified), Japanese, and English to make the game accessible to more audiences. About Derby Stars Derby Stars is a pioneering horse-racing metaverse game that has embraced the play-to-earn trend, enabling players to breed, train, and trade digital horses while earning cryptocurrencies. Led by Sean Hahm, the head of the project who has previous experience in developing a successful mobile horse racing game, the team consists of over 30 members from countries all over the world, including Korea, the United States, and India. The company first raised a seed round of $6M co-led by Patron and Galaxy Interactive, as well as early follow-on supporter Hashed and several other investors.

This gamified retail experience in the metaverse, or what the team has coined “Play-To-Wear'', is here to stay. “We are adding a ‘meta-commerce’ backend to the gaming front to create a global, sustainable fashion platform for the next generation of retail shoppers,” commented Delz Erinle, Founder of Astraverse.xyz. The team is now on a mission to build the first virtual world for gamified retail. Everything happens by jumping into a virtual world with your avatar - with Astraverse, you can now interact with the brands close to your heart, collecting digital coins or landing your hands on mystery boxes from these brands through games and fashion quests found on the metaverse. "It’s the perfect time to things different, almost 10 years since Amazon came online and introduced a new way of shopping; the stars have aligned to reinvent fashion retail and gaming gives us the tools to achieve this," mentioned Niyi Okeowo, Art Direction Lead and Co-founder of Astraverse.xyz at the Astraverse2050 launch party last month in Lagos, Nigeria. New Data from Roblox has also illustrated just how big 2022 was for digital fashion on the virtual world platform. In September, on the heels of its New York Fashion Week show, Carolina Herrera worked with model Karlie Kloss and creator Lovespun to turn one of its runway gowns into a Roblox dress. The digital dress, which was released for 500 Robux (approximately $5), sold out within hours and were resold for over $5,000 in the following weeks on secondary markets. Industrywide, there is also a sustained interest in gamified digital fashion. Some of the notable collaborations include Ralph Lauren on Fortnite; Burberry on Minecraft; and Blankos Block Party and Dior in Gran Turismo 7. More recently, Calvin Klein opened an online gaming experience with avatar company Ready Player Me — a fitting choice for the brand to begin their phygital offering to their customers. Building since 2020 before the metaverse hype cycle began, the Astraverse.xyz team has made great progress. The Astraverse team has since received grants from Epic Games & Meta, and garnered over 1000 demo testers for the 3 iterations they had conducted at Dcentral Austin, Zebu Live London & NFT London. They also managed to attract a 100+ brand waitlist and have grown their community to 20k members, while being accelerated by University of Cambridge I4SF, Nvidia Inception Programme, DeFine, Technation, KPMG. The team believes strongly in a common goal - to add “metacommerce” in a futuristic-yet-familiar way that brings a level of physicality to the e-commerce experience. The Astraverse team has since planned for a lot of partnerships in the upcoming years, including a launch with a global retailer that has everyone excited on how gaming and web3 to create a new experience that makes fashion retail more gamified and sustainable. When asked about the next milestone, the team commented to look out for the upcoming release of their 1st Play-to-Wear event - the Astra Mystery Box Challenge, scheduled to launch in February at NFT Paris. For this challenge, Astraverse has partnered with several brands for their players to win their apparels through games on Astraverse.
