Ethereum Foundation Moves $1.7 Million To Intensify Selling Pressure, Sui (PLX) and Pullix (PLX) Remain Unfazed

Pullix.io

The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing selling pressure since the SEC's approval of Bitcoin ETFs. However, for ETH, the selling pressure has only been intensified as the Ethereum Foundation sold over $1.7 million worth of Ether. Following the sale, ETH has dropped to multi-week lows as the crypto market corrects. Despite the bearish crypto market, top altcoins Sui (PLX) and Pullix (PLX) continue to hold steady. Let's find out how these altcoins have managed to remain bullish in the bearish market. Ethereum Foundation Sells $1.7 Million in ETH, Price Drop Continues Along with the crypto market, the price of Ethereum (ETH) has been in correction mode for over two weeks. However, the Ethereum Foundation has added even more selling pressure after its latest ETH token dump. Wu Blockchain reported that the Ethereum Foundation has offloaded 700 Ether tokens worth over $1.7 million. Following the sale, ETH has been under more intense bearish pressure, dropping by 13% on the weekly chart. From a 2024 high of $2,700, the price of Ethereum has dropped to the $2,200 support. Prominent analyst Ali Martinez has warned that ETH may potentially see a decline to the $2,000 price range after its price fell below the $2,388 support. Pullix (PLX) Shows Strength, Attracts Amidst the market-wide correction, Pullix (PLX) has been one of the top altcoins that have remained bullish. Following its 100% price rally over the last few weeks, this new DeFi project has attracted a ton of investors. As a result, Pullix has managed to raise over $4.29 million as the team prepares to launch its one-of-a-kind DeFi project soon. Pullix (PLX) has piqued the interest of the DeFi market because of its unique blend of features from centralized and decentralized exchanges. As a hybrid exchange, Pullix provides a seamless user experience, allows users to control their private keys, and enhanced security. Trading fees are also cheaper with faster processing times. However, the most talked-about feature of Pullix is its connection to multiple markets. In addition to offering crypto like other exchanges, Pullix lets users trade stocks, forex, commodities, and ETFs. These markets are significantly bigger than crypto, with the OTC derivatives market valued at over $632 trillion in 2022. This is the major reason why market analysts are bullish about the performance of PLX. While PLX is valued at $0.08 per coin, it has been forecasted to increase up to 50x when the exchange hits the DeFi market. Sui (SUI) Maintains Bullish Momentum Sui (SUI), one of the highest-gaining altcoins of 2023, has sustained its bullish momentum into 2024. Unaffected by the recent crypto market correction, the price of Sui has increased by more than 43% year-to-date. This makes it one of the top performers of the early year. There has been more activity in Sui's environment, which may be the reason for the price hike. Recently, Mysten Labs and the Sui Foundation collaborated to introduce the Sui Basecamp. This is the DeFi project's first-ever international conference. Also, Sui and Oracle Stork recently partnered to provide developers with quick pricing information. Final Thoughts With Ethereum failing to break free from bearish pressure, Pullix and Sui have become the go-to altcoins for investors. While Sui has been on a bullish trajectory, it looks set to be outpaced by Pullix thanks to its bigger market potential. For more information regarding Pullix’s presale see links below: Visit Pullix Join The Pullix Communities Pullix is a new DeFi protocol that is launching a hybrid exchange that will seamlessly blend the strengths of centralized and decentralized exchanges into one unified platform. Serving as the pioneer of “Trade-to-Earn” our native token $PLX empowers the community to earn a portion of the daily revenues generated by the exchange.

Blackrock's Bitcoin ETF Sees Large Inflows; Binance Coin and Meme Moguls Soars

Meme Moguls

Blackrock's Bitcoin ETF has caught the eye of investors, witnessing a large inflow of $272 million. On the other hand, two top altcoins to watch, Binance Coin and Meme Moguls, are experiencing an uptick in their prices. Blackrock Sees Inflows Of $272M BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is seeing significant gains. This is BlackRock's first Bitcoin ETF that is quickly becoming popular. On its seventh day of trading, it had seen $272 million in deposits. This huge influx is very different from the $600 million that left Grayscale's GBTC on the same day. Rachel Aguirre, Head of iShares U.S. Products at BlackRock, discussed the inflows. Aguirre told Bloomberg that IBIT has many clients, such as individual and self-directed investors. According to her, some were ready to put money in from the start. She added that BlackRock was excited for buyers to look into this new type of asset. Binance Coin (BNB) Pumps 10% in the Past Month Binance Coin (BNB), the native token of the Binance exchange, has seen a 10.2% price surge in the past month. Data from CoinMarketCap revealed that Binance Coin price has been trading between $265.09 and $337.43 during this period. Meanwhile, the Binance Coin price prediction sentiment appears bullish. 20 of the altcoin's technical analysis indicators are bullish, while just nine are bearish. In the case of upward price movement, there is a resistance near $298. The next resistance is at $305. A decisive break above $305 might boost prices. In this situation, the altcoin may reach $320. A close above the $320 barrier could lead to a bigger move towards $335. However, Binance Coin could fall to support at $290 and, even then, $285 if it fails to break the $305 resistance. Meme Coin Bull Season Coming, the Best Time To Check Out Meme Moguls (MGLS) Analysts have revealed that a meme coin bull season is coming as investors' interest in meme coins reignites. One network that has caught the fever is Avalanche. The Avalanche Foundation is investing in meme coins via its "Culture Catalyst" fund. This is part of its plan to financially support and buy Avalanche-based memecoins. Analysts have picked one meme coin to lead the next meme coin rally: Meme Moguls. Meme Moguls' play-to-earn approach has attracted a lot of interest. Consider playing games and collecting rewards for your efforts. The platform also lays emphasis on community building. It is about interacting with others, competing, and growing together rather than simply playing. The project is a platform where you can meet new people and share your gaming experiences. NFTs provide a completely new element to the gaming experience. These digital assets have a high value and play an essential role in the game's economy. It adds to the gameplay's appeal and rewards. The new ICO is also about teaching, namely on trading. Trading tournaments and other interactive tools allow you to hone your trading skills so you will become a good trader. Considering all these benefits, it is not at all surprising that analysts are very positive towards Meme Moguls, which at the moment trades for $0.0036 per coin. For those who seek huge profits, this is the new ICO to join. Conclusion A significant amount of interest is being shown towards Blackrock's Bitcoin ETF, and Binance Coin would also enjoy much attention in the long run as its prices keep skyrocketing. While meme coins are dominating the market once again, the likes of Meme Moguls that bring utility are among the top altcoins to watch. To date, the ROI for the investors who invested early in Meme Moguls has hit an impressive 90%. You could be among the next crop of investors to make huge profits by visiting Meme Moguls and signing up for the presale. Visit Meme Moguls Meme Moguls and all cryptocurrencies are subject to significant price fluctuations and volatility. Investing in or holding Meme Moguls tokens carries substantial risks, including the potential for total loss. Past performance should not be considered indicative of future results.

Maximizing Portfolio Diversity With Moomoo's Stock, Bond And Bitcoin ETFs

Moomoo

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Moomoo is a dynamic trading platform providing a range of professional-grade tools and detailed market data available to investors around the world. The platform is designed to serve both beginners and experienced traders, offering a combination of user-friendly interfaces and advanced trading features. These features include access to real-time market data and extensive technical analysis tools, all of which are intended to support users in achieving their long-term financial objectives. Moomoo's approach integrates both simplicity in usage and sophistication in functionalities, catering to a diverse set of needs and trading styles. Along with Moomoo's user-friendly features and real-time data, the platform also offers an opportunity to trade a variety of products including stocks, options, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The latter of these – ETFs – is particularly relevant as investor demand for simpler and thematic products drives interest in platforms that offer a diverse selection of these investment vehicles. The Rise of ETFs One commonly-used product among many investors using Moomoo's app is ETFs. Thanks to their multiple advantages over other investment vehicles, ETFs have surged in popularity over the years. Since their 1993 launch, global ETFs assets are projected to hit $14 trillion by the end of 2024(1). Some of their allure comes as ETFs combine the diversity of a mutual fund with the ease and liquidity of stock trading, providing a balanced and simpler approach to portfolio management. With lower overall costs and a wide range of investment sectors – from bonds and stocks to more niche areas like the sustainable energy and marijuana sectors – ETFs deliver an easy-to-use option for investors looking to diversify their holdings and manage risks associated with market volatility with a single investment. Through ETFs, investors can gain exposure to the trends and sectors they want without the need of owning dozens of stocks or performing constant transactions which could hamper their performance. Keep in mind, as with any investment vehicle, ETFs are not without risks. Some disadvantages can include market risks--typically the biggest one for an ETF. If the underlying index an ETF tracks declines in value from negative price movements, the ETF’s value also falls. Additional risks can include, but are not limited to, a lack of understanding about the underlying index and their risks, tax risks, counterparty risks, shutting down risks (closing an ETF), and trading risks. You should consult with an investment professional if you have questions about ETF risks. Advantages Of Trading ETFs On Moomoo Trading ETFs on Moomoo is, first and foremost, about diversification and convenience, but it’s also about experiencing those advantages in a supportive trading environment. The platform's commitment to $0 commission trading and access to 3,000+ U.S. exchange-listed ETFs is a testament to its dedication and affordability. Within those 3,000+ ETF options, investors also have access to an incredibly diverse selection of funds, including stock, bond, index, commodity, dividend, sustainable, leveraged and inverse ETFs. Furthermore, Moomoo provides all the market information investors will need on ETFs, including ETF holdings, assets under management (AUM) and performance in a digestible interface, enabling them to make more informed decisions. Finally, the availability of 24/7 support, coupled with educational resources and a thriving online trading community, makes moomoo a holistic platform for both learning and trading ETFs. Bitcoin ETFs On Moomoo In a significant stride toward embracing the burgeoning cryptocurrency asset class, moomoo has expanded its ETF offerings to include the newly-approved Bitcoin ETFs. This addition further underscores the platform's commitment to constantly expanding its investment options with a diverse range of sectors capable of appealing to all users and trading styles. The inclusion of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which directly hold Bitcoin assets, opens a new avenue for investors to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency market previously limited to crypto exchanges. Put simply, the new ETFs offer a simplified approach for those looking to diversify their portfolios with digital assets. However, it's crucial for investors to understand the risks associated with cryptocurrency investments and only consider approaching them with a high risk tolerance. The New Era Of ETFs With Moomoo While Moomoo's platform is a competitive broker for a wide variety of investment opportunities, it’s particularly compelling for its ETFs, especially considering the recent addition of Bitcoin ETFs. The platform offers a combination of competitive low fees and extensive market information, catering to a range of investor needs. With its diverse offerings of ETFs, stocks and options, Moomoo is undoubtedly a competitive option for investors from all corners of the market looking to explore and navigate the financial world. Moomoo is an investment and trading platform that empowers global investors with pro-grade, easy-to-use tools, data, and insights. We believe investing is a transformative and long-term journey. That's why moomoo empowers investors with the tools and data they need to help unlock their financial potential today and in the future. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, moomoo is here to power your investment journey. With access to a wide range of both user-friendly and advanced features, including real-time market data, technical analysis tools, and in-depth order book data moomoo users can potentially enhance their trading strategies to pursue their goals.

Important Information: Before investing in an ETF, you should read both its summary prospectus and its full prospectus, which provide detailed information on the ETFâs investment objective, principal investment strategies, risks, costs, and historical performance (if any). You can find prospectuses on the websites of the financial firms that sponsor a particular ETF, as well as through your broker. A Word About Risk: Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs are subject to market volatility and the risks of their underlying securities, which may include the risks associated with investing in smaller companies, international securities, commodities, fixed income, and more. An ETF may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value (NAV). Cryptocurrency ETFs are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. An investor may lose all or substantially all of an investment in the Fund. Bitcoin has historically exhibited high price volatility relative to more traditional asset classes, which may be due to speculation regarding potential future appreciation in value among other factors. The performance of these ETFs should follow bitcoin prices closely, minus fees and the fundâs trading costs. Before investing in an ETF, you should read both its summary prospectus and its full prospectus, which provide detailed information on the ETFâs investment objective, principal investment strategies, risks, costs, and historical performance (if any).

How Super League Enterprise Is Helping Shape The Future Of Web 3.0 With 3D Engagement

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Immersive experiences are everywhere around us. The lines between reality and virtual reality are blurrier and more valuable with each passing year, and more and more companies are diving into the digital world headfirst. Super League Enterprise (NASDAQ: SLE) is one of those companies as a leader in crafting engaging virtual experiences. The company leverages its substantial user base to forge connections between global brands and the Web 3.0 and gaming community by harnessing the power of immersive technologies to captivate and connect with a generation that increasingly can only be found in a digital world. The buzz around creating immersive online experiences may be lost on older generations that have been relatively slower entering new digital frontiers, but younger generations have fully embraced 3D engagement. Super League Enterprise’s Immersive Media Expansion The pioneer in immersive web activations and user engagement today boasts over a billion monthly impressions and over 120 million active players. The company’s mission is to help brands embrace 3D engagement as a fundamental component of Web 3.0, which it believes is the inevitable way digital advertising dollars will be directed in the future for deeper engagement with new audiences. During 2023, the company was a leader in building immersive 3D experiences across major digital platforms, including Roblox (NASDAQ: RBLX), Minecraft which is owned by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Fortnite, Sandbox and Decentraland. The company's strategy focuses on helping brands connect with large audiences in those established 3D environments. Its creator-friendly tools also help transform owned web domains through custom 3D experiences. Tools For 3D Engagement As brands shift digital advertising to make Web 3.0 connections with Generation Z and Alpha, Super League provides creators with a content development platform packed with enough proprietary IP to be an end-to-end operating system for the 3D Web. Super League reports that last year turned out to be a year of strong momentum for the company, highlighted by accelerated growth, streamlined operations and the largest contract in the company’s history – leading to record annual revenues of approximately $25 million. This highlights their growing role in the metaverse and digital engagement strategies. The company has partnered with brands like Barbie from Mattel Inc. (NYSE: MAT), Patrick Star (NASDAQ: PARA) and Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) to connect brands with gaming communities through immersive experiences. Heading into 2024, the company reports more global brands are navigating into Web 3.0 with a planned ramp-up of ad spending in the nascent marketing channel. “Super League is uniquely positioned to be the omni-channel solution for 3D engagement in the arena where brands in the near future will likely spend the majority of their digital advertising,” said Ann Hand, CEO of Super League. “Our capabilities as a platform for short-term advertising campaigns are evolving and our deals are getting much larger as customers discover the value in deeply immersive experiences that deliver revenues that are more recurring and forecastable.” As an example, Super League in 2023 launched the Hamilton Simulator, a Web 3.0 experience that attracted an audience of 6.5 billion for an interactive discovery of the epic Broadway saga’s groundbreaking music. The company reports that the experience went viral with over 1 million visits in the first two weeks, surpassing the top session time of Roblox experiences at an average of 21 minutes. Pioneering Immersive Media The landscape of media is quickly changing, forcing brands and creators to adopt new strategies to engage with a younger audience that increasingly socializes online. Industry giants like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) have already begun making investments in immersive experiences, and as the shift into the digital world increases with innovations in the metaverse or other similar technologies, immersive media is becoming critical for brands seeking to capture the attention of the next generation. Super League believes it is on track to be a gold standard for creating multi-layered, persistent 3D Web solutions in a market it expects will reach $56 billion this year. The company has pioneered immersive activations and player engagement for close to a decade simply responding to the demand for a scalable, integrated publishing platform for immersive web experiences. Platforms to help brands leverage their IP in new and creative ways constitute a growing sector of the media industry. In this new landscape, Super League's approach is clear: equip brands with the knowledge and tools to create engaging digital experiences that drive higher audience engagement and more effective advertising campaigns. Super League Is Upping Its Game Last year, the company integrated generative AI technologies into its creative process tools for significant improvements in content development, color inspiration, image adjustments, audio generation and script refinement. It was an evolution for the company’s already robust content visualization and production solutions capabilities that it believes increases internal efficiencies and opportunities for continued, sustained new business and revenue growth. Super League Enterprise is capitalizing on the shift toward immersive digital environments. In 2023, it reduced its operating costs by 33% while serving some 100 brands and IP owners to successfully raise gross proceeds of $24.8 million and secure $4 million in accounts receivable. It last announced preliminary revenue for the fourth quarter that showed it grew 32% year over year to a company record of approximately $9.4 million. With additional cash from recently secured financings, it’s confident it is now more than ever in a position to drive significant revenue growth leading to profitability. The company's proprietary creator tools and vertically integrated publishing engine could position it as a promising player in the transition to a more interactive and immersive online world. Ultimately, Super League's growing list of partnerships and commitment to innovation in connecting brands with Web 3.0 and gaming communities highlight their strategic approach to audience engagement and advertising in the new dawn of immersive media.

How Laser Photonics Helps Drive Safety And Efficiency In Maritime, Aerospace And Nuclear Industries With Cleaning And Marking Lasers

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The global laser cleaning market is projected to grow to $12 billion by 20 25, and the global laser marking market to grow to more than $5 billion by 2030. As technology continues to advance, demand climbs for better and more efficient industrial lasers across a wide range of industries. The aviation, aerospace, defense, shipbuilding and nuclear power sectors are particularly forward-looking in pursuit of improvements. The United States government and the Department of Homeland Security recently approved multiple programs regarding industrial laser use, signaling their current and future value in aerospace and military manufacturing. A pioneer in responding to such needs, Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: LASE) is a leading global developer of industrial laser systems, specializing in integrated laser cleaning solutions and laser marking and engraving. Their high-powered CleanTech laser systems eliminate surface corrosion and coatings from a wide variety of materials without causing harm to the surface beneath. In addition to surface cleaning and conditioning, other applications include pre-welding preparation and post-welding treatment. Technology that qualifies as CleanTech uses no harmful chemicals or substances while achieving fast and accurate cleaning results. Their advanced productivity and safety features serve to secure their reputation as a safer, more efficient option while ensuring operators are protected from the hazards of traditional systems. In global manufacturing, Laser Photonics reports that the value of its MarkStar direct parts marking, UID engraving and deep engraving technology is continuously expanding. Such practices pay for themselves quickly as they streamline traceability, production flow control, inventory control and renewal, service marking, product quality validation as well as long-term product liability and reliability monitoring. In the aviation and aerospace industry, Laser Photonics' maintenance-free laser equipment and systems play a significant role in streamlining manufacturing and repair processes from MarkStar direct parts marking, UID and deep engraving to their newest CleanTech laser cleaning systems. On top of corrosion and coating removal, cutting-edge CleanTech laser cleaning technology can be utilized by professionals in the aerospace industry to clean fixtures, perform selective paint removal on rivets, clean landing gears, clean landing strips and more. Laser Photonics’ solutions are also valuable to the maritime industry, shipbuilding and ship maintenance and repair processes. Its revolutionary CleanTech cleaning technology offers a safer alternative to environmentally harmful practices like sandblasting, chemical cleaning, and abrasive blasting. By also eliminating the health risks of traditional methods, laser cleaning has become a disruptive solution in these industries. The global maritime industry is expected to grow from $2.6 billion in 2023 to $3.7 billion by 2028. Nuclear decontamination and decommissioning is another domain where Laser Photonics’ laser CleanTech and MarkStar systems provide cost-effective, time-efficient, environmentally friendly and safe industrial cleaning and marking methods. Principally based on waste elimination, eco-friendliness is another major benefit of CleanTech laser cleaning. Unlike traditional cleaning and marking methods, there is no secondary waste generated during use. Furthermore, laser cleaning eliminates the need for hazardous consumables, ensuring the safety of operators who would otherwise be exposed to harmful substances. Laser Photonics’ laser cleaning and marking technologies can be customized to the unique needs of operators in any industry or application, providing a tailored solution for anything from nuclear facility maintenance to battery manufacturing. The company’s CleanTech and MarkStar technologies offer safe, effective, eco- and operator-friendly solutions to challenges posed to manufacturing professionals worldwide. Laser Photonics continues to innovate in each sector and on each application, helping high-demand industries grow more profitably and safely. This post contains sponsored content.

NexWafe Expands to the US to Reshore Solar Wafer Production

NexWafe

NexWafe GmbH (NexWafe) has established a U.S. subsidiary to evaluate the development of multi-gigawatt-scale solar wafer production in the U.S. with an initial target production volume of six gigawatts (GW). The North American operation will leverage NexWafe’s EpiNex™ production technology from the company’s 250 megawatt (MW) first commercial facility, which is under construction in Bitterfeld, Germany. As part of this expansion, NexWafe appointed solar industry veteran Jonathan Pickering as Vice President of Business Development for North America to spearhead U.S. operations. The U.S. solar industry has tremendous growth potential. 2023 was the nation’s largest year of solar installations, reaching 33 GW of solar installations. Average annual growth of solar installation of 14 percent is expected between 2023 and 2028. In line with the goals of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), NexWafe’s U.S. expansion is a strategic move to reduce vulnerabilities in the solar-wafer supply chain, which remains subject to China’s market dominance and potential geopolitical disruption. The company is actively working on securing strategic partnerships, assessing potential manufacturing locations and the associated regional incentives, and securing offtake agreements for domestic wafer supply. Along with other solar supply chain manufacturers, NexWafe will work with the Administration to leverage IRA incentives to realize the company’s vision of gigawatt-scale wafer manufacturing in North America.

TeamViewer adopts Almer AR headsets to take remote support from desktop to reality

Almer

The popular global leader in remote IT support TeamViewer has signaled its shift to augmented reality (AR) having struck a strategic partnership with AR startup Almer. This news comes hot on the heels of Apple’s entry into the AR market with the launch of their Vision Pro headset next month. The Almer Arc headset enables collaboration with remote individuals as if they were physically present and augmentation of the wearer's environment with relevant information for pointing out objects in reality. Almer is also announcing the launch of Arc 2, it’s latest headset which features a 25MP camera, beamforming microphones, built-in speakers, and a holographic see-through screen with 8-hours battery life. As opposed to Apple’s Vision Pro, the Almer Arc 2 is a mere 138 grams, 4 times lighter. Thanks to the completely transparent display of the Arc 2, it can be employed in mission critical task and changing environment, while the Vision Pro is for a static interior environment. This partnership will enable TeamViewer to expand into untapped opportunities with industrial companies. Meanwhile, Almer will be able to scale its operations and advance AR adoption. Mei Dent, Chief Product & Technology Officer at TeamViewer: “Approximately 80 percent of the global workforce does not work at a desk but at a company’s frontline, and most of them currently benefit very little from digital transformation. There is immense potential for efficiency and productivity gains by enhancing the frontline work with digital tools and connecting this huge part of the global workforce to their companies' backend system. Our joint offering with Almer allows companies to explore how Augmented Reality opens new opportunities for business and operations and massively increases the speed of their digitalization efforts.” Almer was founded in 2021 by Sebastian Beetschen and Timon Binder. Sebastian was working on the Hololens 2 at Microsoft Research and felt the AR opportunity extended beyond clunky helmet-like apparatus. He felt he could make a more compact, comfortable, and affordable AR device and teamed up with Timon, a former jet fighter pilot, who recognized the potential. Timon brought his experience with AR jet fighter helmets that led to the creation of the Almer Arc headset. Sebastian Beetschen, CEO and co-founder of Almer commented: “Our headset is much like a jet fighter visor, mounted directly in front of your eyes, featuring a transparent, see-through screen. The Almer Arc is a lightweight, compact, and easy-to-use AR headset. When a problem arises, the frontline worker takes the Almer Arc and contacts a remote expert, who can see and hear what the worker experiences. The expert identifies the issue, highlights objects, and displays documentation in the worker's view, simulating a collaborative, in-person experience.” Today, Almer has 21 customers, including Switzerland's largest defense contractor, which uses the Almer Arc to service fighter jets remotely in the US, as well as several international machine manufacturers. Almer is venture backed startup having raised $7.6m to date from strategic investors including engineering giant Stena and manufacturing leaders Helbling among others. The Almer team consists of top talent from the fields of computer vision and microtechnology, from renowned Swiss institutes of technology, ETH and EPFL. On the launch of Arc 2, Sebastian Beetschen commented: “We have learned a lot on how to make the headset super adaptable and users can set their preferences on how they wear it. Something new entrants like Apple still have to learn. Not only this, Arc 2 comes with an improved wide angle 25MP camera that can see and understand everything that you see and zoom into tiny details as never before. This makes it possible to understand the environment and assist, enabling superhuman capabilities”. The global augmented reality market* is projected to grow from $62.75 billion in 2023 to $1,1 trillion 2030, at a CAGR of 50.7%. Within this trend, the market for AR headsets is exponentially increasing over the next few years and is set to hit $120 billion in 2026. Initially, Almer is focusing on the Swiss industry and will soon expand into the neighboring DACH region before going global. Sebastian Beetschen added: “The cost saving potential of using AR to service all installed machines for the 10 largest tooling-machine manufacturers in DACH alone accounts for £7.9 billion per year**. So, the opportunity is very real”. * Fortune Business Insights, Technology / Augmented Reality (AR) Market and Grand View Research, Augmented Reality Headsets Market, Industry Report ** According to Acceliox, a machine hour in the sheet metal industry costs approx. 150 CHF/h and has downtimes (machine malfunction, adjustment, waiting for pre-material,...) of about 100 hours per month. This results in approx. 15'000 CHF downtime costs / month (180’000 CHF / year). According to Acceliox, approx. 5% of the planned and unplanned downtime can be eliminated with the Almer remote support, resulting in cost savings of approx. 9’000 CHF / machine and year.
