Total Media

Polygon (MATIC) recently achieved a new record, and the co-founder Sandeep Nailwal shared his excitement with the community. A crypto analyst is also bullish on the future of Ethereum (ETH), noting how it recently saw significant whale attention. Everlodge (ELDG) is also showcasing bullish signs and can see a significant surge following its launch. Summary Ethereum can grow as high as $3,135.81 in Q1 Polygon to experience a price upswing to $1.25 by Q1 2024 Everlodge to see a price surge following its listing on Tier-1 CEXs Join the Everlodge presale and win a luxury holiday to the Maldives Ethereum (ETH) to See a Price Upswing to $3,135.81 in Q1 Ethereum (ETH) saw a substantial level of growth during the week, as it moved up from $1.918 to $2.074. In the past month, the total price increase for the Ethereum crypto was by 23%. Notable crypto analyst Ali Martinez, or @ali_charts, revealed a post about the crypto, going over how it saw massive whale accumulation during the past two months. As a result, followers are now enthusiastic about its future, and based on the Ethereum price prediction, it can increase to $3,135.81 by Q1, 2024. Polygon (MATIC) Is Projected to Grow to $1.25 Polygon (MATIC) has experienced a massive milestone in its network. It handled 500% more transactions than average without any outages or collapses. The co-founder behind Polygon, Sandeep Nailwal, shared the excitement on X, formerly Twitter, on how the network has processed over 16.4 million transactions. At its peak, the PoS had a throughput of 255 tps, which is 2-3 times the entire Ethereum ecosystem combined. The Polygon trading volume spiked 21% in the past 24 hours, and during the past week, its value jumped from $0.789886 to $0.956483. The total price increase during the month was by 41%, and according to the Polygon price prediction, it can spike to $1.25 by Q1, 2024. Everlodge (ELDG) to Grow Following Tier-1 CEX Listing While Ethereum and Polygon are bullish, another crypto that has showcased exceptional performance is Everlodge. Most properties in luxury locations can cost millions in upfront capital. This has made entering the $4.548 trillion global hospitality industry difficult. Everlodge changes this by introducing blockchain technology into the industry. What this means is that properties get digitized and then minted as NFTs. Through this approach, they can be split into smaller pieces worth $100 each. Those wanting to acquire real estate properties can build a diversified portfolio and maintain all of the benefits of this approach. They can retain all of the benefits, such as value appreciation and passive income opportunities. During the Stage 7 presale period, ELDG is offered at $0.025. Any holder can stake the crypto to get passive income or can engage in governance. Holders also qualify for giveaways, property raffles, and other experiences. Once it's listed on Tier-1 CEXs, it can surge in value according to projections.

Solana Price Prediction, SOL surpasses $50 Mark Where Next After?

Total Media

The FTX scandal brought the price of Solana down from highs of $260, all the way down to $10 at the start of the year. Those who followed the old advice of “buy when others are fearful”, are now sitting on a 6x profit. But where will it go from here? And since the rest of Warren Buffet’s adage is “sell when others are greedy”, is there another coin that is just beginning its ascent? Let’s find out. Solana to $3200, or $10 - according to asset managers VanEck In a recent prediction from VanEck, Solana could go as high as $3,200 in a bull market, by 2030, or as low as $10 in a bear market. The ‘base case’ as they dubbed it, would be $335. This leaves room for a pretty large margin of error, but it's all higher than the current price of Solana which is currently sitting at $62.75. This optimism seems to be because the selling pressure from the FTX estate has not caused the dump that investors feared. And so many now see that the only way is up for Solana. Especially given the current crypto climate. According to data from Defilama, Solana’s TVL has doubled in less than a month, currently sitting at around $2.169 billion. The News Crypto have a milder prediction for Solana in 2023, suggesting $88.51 in a bullish scenario and $25.45 if things turn bearish. And as for 2030? The bullish scenario is $150 whilst the bearish one is $80. Quite a different prediction to VanEck to say the least! What other options do traders have to make money? Given the extreme variations in predictions from so-called experts, it might just pay to look for something that has a clearer trajectory. A solid project in presale is one option since the price is guaranteed to rise as each presale stage concludes. Of course, there are always risks in crypto, especially where new projects are concerned, but then as we have seen, even well-established projects such as Solana, come with inherent risks. And there’s potentially less upside potential with Solana, due to the already large market capitalization. With that in mind, there is hype building among traders in the know, about a new project called Meme Moguls. The project - which is a play-to-earn game and a decentralized memecoin exchange - was inspired by business moguls such as Warren Buffet and Elon Musk. But rather than telling people to merely follow their advice, the team are dedicated to making moguls out of ordinary traders. And they have a lofty goal - to make 100 millionaires within the first three months of launch. Why Meme Moguls Could Be the Next 100x Token in 2023 The platform seeks to rally meme lovers together, using the spirit of competition and co-operation, to push people to perform better than ever in the memecoin world. Players and traders can win their and farm token MGLS and even mine NFTs of famous memes by providing liquidity. This is all very exciting, but the key thing to note is that MGLS is in the first phase of presale right now, at $0.0019, and is predicted to launch at a 1,000% increase from today’s prices. Additionally, the team are going to give $10,000 to a lucky MGLS holder each time the price goes up. So for those confused by Solana’s potential predictions, Meme Moguls might be the next big thing to jump on. And if you’re reading this, you have the opportunity to get in on the ground floor.

Bitcoin Gears Up for $50,000 Before ETF Approval, Everlodge Becomes Top Whale Pick, Solana Takes a Bearish Turn

Total Media

In a significant turn of events, Solana (SOL) has seen a decline in its price after a strong surge. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) has been soaring in anticipation of an ETF approval, tipped to reach $50,000. At the same time, Everlodge (ELDG) is experiencing strong whale interest, becoming a top pick. Let’s delve into these developments. Solana (SOL): Bearish Decline Evidently, Solana (SOL) has been one of the biggest winners in the final quarter of 2023. It skyrocketed despite bearish sentiment, cementing its status as one of the top altcoins on the market. As a key player in the DeFi landscape, providing decentralized finance solutions, it forms an integral part of the crypto space. However, following a significant rise in the price of Solana, it has seen a dip in momentum lately. According to many, the selling pressure can be linked to profit-taking among investors. In recent news, crypto analyst Ali Martinez further shed light on the potential challenges and Solana price prediction. According to Ali, SOL’s TD sequential on the weekly chart shows a sell signal. He went ahead and mentioned that the Solana price may face further declines in the coming days as traders eye profit-making opportunities. Bitcoin (BTC): Road to $50,000 The impending approval of the first spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF has pushed the crypto community into a frenzy. The Bitcoin value has been tipped to reach the $50,000 mark in anticipation of ETF approval. According to Pantera Capital, the Bitcoin ETF will be a big step towards the adoption of digital assets. They reiterated the huge impact it will have, as it will fundamentally improve investor and institutional access to BTC. They also maintained that this would happen in a matter of a month or two, not years. The Bitcoin price today is around $37,000. Investing in it now has the potential to return significant returns in the future based on anticipated future developments. So, as Pantera Capital puts it, “Buy the rumor, buy the news.” Everlodge (ELDG): A Top Whale Pick The excitement around Everlodge (ELDG) peaked once again following increasing whale interest. In comparison to Solana and Bitcoin, it has incredible growth potential, fueling whales' interests. That isn’t all; it has real-world utilities, combining blockchain technology and real estate. Everlodge seeks to provide a seamless approach to fractional investment in vacation rentals and other luxury properties. This will eliminate the complexities and difficulties associated with traditional real estate investment. For instance, income barriers will be drastically lowered and transparency improved. Luxury properties like vacation homes, villas, and hotels in the Everlodge ecosystem will be digitized and minted into NFTs. Their titles, deeds, and ownership details will be stored inside the metadata of the smart contract. This has been hailed as a forward-thinking approach as it promotes transparency, trust, and security. Ultimately, Everlodge will reduce barriers to property ownership, which are traditionally associated with affluence. So, with as little as $100, you can own fractions of a multi-million-dollar hotel in New York. Investors will benefit from complete decentralization, full anonymity, and instantaneous purchases. This project is in its early stages, meaning investors will see significant returns. The Everlodge presale is currently in its seventh stage and costs only $0.025 per token. Its explosive growth potential, placed at 50x after launch, has contributed to whales’ growing interest. Visit The Everlodge Website Here Contact Details Everlodge Media Team media@everlodge.io
