Dogecoin Receives Massive Attention Following Ali Martinez Prediction, Pepe and Everlodge Top Picks for Massive Gains

Total Media

Ali Martinez is bullish on the future of the Dogecoin (DOGE) crypto, which is showcasing signs of a potential breakout. Yet, Analysts are still diversifying with the Pepe (PEPE) meme coin as well for high-growth potential. Aside from those meme coins, Everlodge (ELDG) is also a main point of appeal for investors, as it enables numerous passive income opportunities within its ecosystem. Today, we will go over each crypto to see how far they can climb. Summary Dogecoin to rise in value to $0.098 by the end of 2023 Pepe to spike in value to $0.00000149 by the end of 2023 Everlodge is projected to climb 4,500% at launch Ali Martinez, also known on the X social media platform as @ali_charts, projects that Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently in a tight zone and that it has the potential for an upward breakthrough. Ali noted how Dogecoin is trading between two crucial supply walls on the chart. The first is the support wall, where 200,000 wallets hold 28.6 billion DOGE. The second is the resistance, where 124,000 wallets hold 26.95 billion DOGE. During the past week, the DOGE crypto traded between $0.066157 and $0.076291. Moreover, it experienced a price upswing of 26.4% in the past 30 days. The Dogecoin market cap is at $10,537,600,344.

Pepe (PEPE) Rose by 73.9% in the Past Month Pepe (PEPE) is also trading in the green zone on the weekly chart.

It taps into the massive and well-established market, valued at $4.5 trillion in 2022, the hospitality industry. It will enter this market through the implementation of blockchain technology to build a property marketplace. For example, a significant issue that a lot of people face in this field is the high capital requirements, alongside the lack of transparency. Everlodge will change this dynamic by enabling anyone to invest in fractions of property-backed NFTs, even on secondary markets. This will give investors a higher level of liquidity that was previously unavailable within the real estate sector. Everlodge will also feature its native crypto, ELDG, which can be staked and used for governance. Currently, it is at Stage 7 of the presale and trades at $0.025. According to analysts, the crypto can spike as high as 4,500% upon launch. Visit Everlodge Contact Details Everlodge PR Team media@everlodge.io

STO Market Valuation in Korea Expected to Reach 287 Billion By 2030

HTX

On November 10th, Edward Chen, Managing Partner of HTX Ventures, attended the 2023 STO Summit in South Korea and presented a speech on STO Insights and its Potential. The speech delved into the progression of Security Token Offerings (STOs) in Asia, addressing topics such as securities-related transaction regulations, future potential and challenges, key growth areas, and potential investment opportunities in 2024. As the STO and RWA sectors continue to gain momentum, HTX Ventures has invested considerable resources to explore this domain through research. STO Market: Boasting Huge Potential and Growing Rapidly Based on data from the STO market, the STO market cap has experienced tremendous growth, surging from 374 million to approximately 1 billion from December 2020 to September 2021, representing an extraordinary growth rate of 2670%. This momentum has persisted into 2022. From April 2021 to April 2022, STO trading volumes witnessed a remarkable increase of 386%, accompanied by a 2650% growth in the market cap. In May 2022, the total market cap of traded security tokens grew twentyfold in a year to surpass $19 billion. Looking ahead, it is anticipated that by 2030, the STO market in Korea will reach an impressive 367 trillion Won ($287 billion). During his speech, Edward delved into the advantages and limitations of STO. When discussing the positive features of STO, he underscored its flexibility, technological advancement, positive token economy, complete operation under regulation, and high composability. ● Flexibility: Multiple issuers or individuals can achieve asset refinancing goals more flexibly. Issuers can diversify their financing channels, reaching a broader spectrum of investors. ● Technological Advancement: Using blockchain for enhanced liquidity across regions and exchanges. Smart contracts can be used to conduct automated transactions, and even facilitate enterprises to complete cross-border settlement and payment scenarios. ● Positive Token Economy: Tokens have an economic incentive mechanism and functional role, which can redefine property rights and production relations. ● Complete Operation Under Regulation: Effectively preventing fraud and market manipulation, while fundamentally ensuring the interests of investors and fair trading. ● High Composability: STO and DeFi, STO and NFT, etc. Limitations of STO: ● Security tokens are subject to heightened regulation, leading to increased complexity in administrative processes. ● STO platforms must consistently adapt to ever-evolving regulations. ● Regulations in certain areas may impose limits on who can invest in STOs, thereby reducing the available pool of investors. In the Asia-Pacific region, the STO ecosystem is still in its early stages of development. From a technological standpoint, North America maintains its dominance in this domain, producing a diverse range of exceptional products and cutting-edge technologies. However, the potential of the South Korean market should not be underestimated, especially with its unique culture and the gradual relaxation of regulations. Japan's STO market stands out as the most vibrant in Asia. From 2019 to 2022, many traditional financial companies, including large securities firms and banks, have entered the STO sector. The types of Japanese STOs include corporate bonds, credit card bonds, real estate, carbon emissions, etc. In line with this, the Japan Exchange Group (JPX) is set to launch the STO market in 2025. STO vs. RWA: Analyzing Differences and Exploring Future Trends In his speech, Edward pointed out that the main differences between STO and RWA lie in their focus and scope. To summarize, their distinctions are as follows: 1. STO focuses on the securities sector, emphasizing the issuance and trading of tokenized securities through blockchain technology. In contrast, RWA has a broader scope, tokenizing various real-world assets, encompassing both those with monetary value and non-monetary value. 2. STO emphasizes compliance in the securities sector and investor protection. In contrast, RWA focuses on introducing a variety of real-world assets into the blockchain, offering increased liquidity and avenues for value exchange. 3. In the earlier cycle, roughly around 2017-2018, before the prominence of the DeFi concept, STO narratives primarily revolved around equity issuance, such as issuing company stocks or equity-like assets, without delving much into bonds. Conversely, RWA discussions often centered around assets like U.S. Treasury bonds or fixed-income assets. As a result, these two concepts belong to different eras and cycles, giving rise to notable divergences in narratives and contexts. In summary, STO can be considered a constrained implementation of RWA. 1. From April 2021 to April 2022, STO trading volumes witnessed a remarkable increase of 386%, accompanied by a 2650% growth in the market cap. In May 2022, the total market cap of traded security tokens grew twentyfold in a year to surpass $19 billion. 2. Tokenized assets are anticipated to witness increased adoption across a spectrum of sectors, including real estate, investment funds, bonds, and equities. Moreover, their application is predicted to broaden to encompass more unconventional assets, such as patents. 3. A remarkable fiftyfold increase in tokenized assets is projected from 2022 to 2030, with their value surging from $310 billion to $16.1 trillion. 4. By 2030, the value of tokenized assets may account for approximately 10% of the global GDP. 5. STOs have garnered increased popularity compared to ICOs, attributed to their enhanced security and compliance features. The number of companies specializing in tokenization rises annually, and an escalating number of STO projects have successfully secured multimillion-dollar funding. 6. Europe is expected to see an STO boom in the next five years. The researchers estimate the market size for digital assets in Europe at more than a billion euros by 2026. Moreover, STOs have garnered significant popularity across diverse industries due to their provision of a secure and transparent avenue for investment and fundraising. Sectors embracing this trend include real estate, precious stones and metals, natural resources, and private equity. Taking real estate as an example, STO solutions provide a unique opportunity to tokenize real estate assets, streamlining the process of acquiring shares in a property. They create opportunities for fractional ownership, making it more accessible for smaller investors to participate. For businesses, STOs represent an effective means of raising funds, attracting global investors, and offering enhanced liquidity and transparency. This is a win-win solution. It is estimated that 89% of all traded security tokens are allocated to real estate. The global real estate market is projected to reach $5,388.87 billion by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.6%. Edward outlined several potential opportunities for RWA in his predictions for the future of RWA: · Within the realm of RWA, decentralized stablecoins and fixed-income assets remain the predominant categories, still with larger room development in the future. · Government bond RWAs will remain mainstream, with increased attention on equity RWAs. U.S. Treasury bonds have gained recognition in the crypto community. · The tokenization of assets like real estate and carbon credits is in demand, but compliance hurdles remain a significant challenge. · Token standards will diversify, and ERC-20 may not be the future mainstream, with significant potential for NFTs in bills, RETIs, collectibles, and other areas. · More projects will offer opportunities for infrastructure and RWA services. · Hong Kong and Singapore may contribute to the prosperity of the RWA due to their regulatory measures. Regarding RWA, it's noteworthy to highlight the Bitcoin ETF as a pivotal milestone in its development. Since 2023, eight major financial institutions have submitted applications to the U.S. SEC for a Spot Bitcoin ETF. The approval of such an ETF seems inevitable. Once approved, it will signify a pivotal moment in RWA's development. The expected influx of trillions of dollars into the RWA market is likely to drive the acceptance and investment in Bitcoin by traditional financial institutions, family offices, and funds, ultimately boosting the mainstream credibility and acceptance of Bitcoin investments. One highlight in the RWA sector is the tokenization of U.S. government bonds. The tokenization volume of U.S. government bonds is valued at $697 million with an approximate annual yield of 5.25%. Decentralized stablecoins and fixed-income assets remain the predominant categories. For instance, MakerDAO currently stands as the undisputed leader in the RWA sector, boasting a total business scale of $32.8 billion. Moreover, over 65% of the revenue in the MakerDAO protocol is derived from RWA. In his concluding remarks, Edward analyzed the factors that may contribute to the future success of STO. Even though STO provides significant business opportunities and financial innovation to financial markets, investors, and issuers, its structure remains in the early stages. Looking ahead, several factors may contribute to the ultimate success of STO in the future. These factors include the STO ecosystem and stakeholders, legal and regulatory frameworks, the credibility of trading platforms, and investor education.

News Release

Shiba Inu (SHIB), Polygon (MATIC), and Meme Moguls (MGLS): Top Tokens to Invest in Q4 2024?

Total Media

2024 has been forecasted to be a major year for the crypto industry. One potential reason is the possibility of a crypto bull run which could set the market ablaze. Luckily, three coins have emerged as the best tokens to invest in --they include Shiba Inu, Polygon, and Meme Moguls. Shiba Inu's price has formed a V-shape, on the daily chart, a sign of a market recovery. According to CoinMarketCap, the Shiba Inu token is priced at $0.00000824, after declining by 3.58%. The recent Shiba Inu crypto rally paused at the $0.0000085 resistance level despite the increase in trading activity. This suggests that there is still a lot of selling pressure. This resistance might be because some short-term traders have sold their holdings to take profits. However, this consolidation phase could be an opportunity for buyers to regain their upward trend. If this pattern plays out, the Shiba Inu coin price could cross the $0.0000085 resistance to $0.00001138. Meanwhile, analysts have given a Shiba Inu forecast of between $0.000098 and $0.000115 in Q4 2024. Polygon Whales Accumulating MATIC Tokens Polygon's MATIC has experienced a notable price surge in recent weeks, reaching new price levels. According to Santiment, this upward trend was caused by whale accumulation of Polygon coins. Santiment highlighted that these whale wallets contain between 100,000 and 10 million MATIC tokens. The increased accumulation of the Polygon crypto has led to higher buying pressure. Consequently, this has caused a major price increase, thanks to the bullish sentiment in the wider market. The Polygon price was $0.8279 after recording a 24.8% increase on the weekly chart. Likewise, the Polygon market cap and trading volume have increased in the past three weeks. Meanwhile, two events that could affect the polygon price in 2024 are its upcoming Polygon 2.0 and then Bitcoin's halving. The Polygon value is predicted to reach as high as $4.17. Meme Moguls (MGLS): Analysts Forecasts 1,000% Price Surge Meme Moguls (MGLS) is an exciting upcoming project that aims to create the world's first meme-backed stock market/exchange. This innovative platform is set to launch an engaging ecosystem. To begin with, let us explore the different features offered by the Meme Moguls ecosystem. There's the Moguls Exchange Trading Platform, which lets you trade meme-based assets. Then, there is the Meme Moguls Fantasy Trader section, where you can compete with fellow moguls for rewards and prizes. Another exciting aspect is Mogul Land, a metaverse world where users can mine tokens and participate in liquidity pools. In addition, the platform would offer a staking mechanism that rewards you with more tokens. All you have to do is stake your $MGLS. Other than earning opportunities, Meme Moguls also has an active community. Very active members can look forward to exclusive rewards and valuable NFTs, which are tradeable on Opensea. The platform promises engaging gameplay and tournaments where you can participate and earn extra rewards. Currently, the price of $MGLS tokens is just $0.001 during its presale phase. Interestingly, analysts predict that the price of $MGLS could increase by 1000% by the end of the presale. Visit Meme Moguls Contact Details Meme Moguls media@mememoguls.com

Winter Crypto Picks: Optimism, Rebel Satoshi, or Lido DAO?

Blockchain Digest

Summary The crypto market is set to see intense heat amid the freeze this winter as the next major rally approaches. Meanwhile, investors seek the best crypto investment for substantial gains. Three crypto coins offering huge gains prospects include Optimism (OP), Rebel Satoshi, and Lido DAO (LDO). Let’s compare OP, $RBLZ, and LDO and find the best crypto to invest in for a higher return on investment! Market Analysts Believe Optimism’s Coin OP Can Grow by 107% in 2024 At the start of 2023, Optimism demonstrated strength, reaching its 2023 peak of $3.2622 per OP in February, aligning with the broader market trends. However, the subsequent months saw a decline in OP's value by 49% until November, attributed to the challenges posed by regulatory uncertainties across the crypto landscape. In a strategic move to enhance its network capabilities, Optimism announced the implementation of the Canyon upgrade in November. This marks Optimism's first post-Bedrock network upgrade and introduces key features such as Shanghai and Capella hardfork support, along with various bug fixes. A notable enhancement includes Optimism's ability to handle unclosed channels, addressing a limitation where only one channel could be active at a time. The Canyon upgrade is expected to optimize the operational efficiency of OP and overall network performance. So, does it mean that OP is the best crypto to buy now? Here is what experts say! In an optimistic outlook for OP, experts forecast that Optimism could experience a surge of over 107%, reaching $3.41 per OP in 2024. The implementation of the Canyon upgrade and the potential for increased network efficiency are cited as factors contributing to this positive trajectory for Optimism. Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the crypto market, a more conservative estimate for Optimism in a bearish scenario suggests that OP might stabilize around $2.21 in 2024. Investors Flock to $RBLZ as Experts Predict 150% Growth for the New Meme Coin As the winter season approaches, investors are flocking to seize promising opportunities. Among the contenders, Rebel Satoshi's $RBLZ is stealing the spotlight, with experts predicting a spectacular 150% growth for this new meme coin. At the core of this surging interest is the $RBLZ token, an ERC-20 standard token that goes beyond the conventional definition of a meme coin. Rebel Satoshi's $RBLZ is not merely a digital asset; it's a symbol of a movement inspired by the spirits of historical figures such as Guy Fawkes and Satoshi Nakamoto. This movement challenges the status quo, promoting unity, defiance, and decentralization within the cryptocurrency landscape. Therefore, RebelSatoshi is not just a meme coin; it's a vibrant, community-driven initiative. Moreover, RebelSatoshi aims to rewrite the rules of the cryptocurrency landscape, encouraging active participation and engagement. $RBLZ introduces a unique concept known as stack-to-earn, wherein users can stake their $RBLZ tokens, actively contribute to the ecosystem, and unlock additional rewards. The Rebel Satoshi presale becomes a focal point as investors seek winter crypto picks. With $RBLZ priced attractively at $0.010 in its Early Bid Round, the presale is anticipated to witness a substantial 150% surge, reaching $0.025 per $RBLZ upon official launch.

Experts Predict Lido DAO Will Cross the $3.5 Price Mark in 2024 Lido DAO, a prominent player in the crypto sphere, faced challenges throughout 2023 after a promising start to the year. Recent developments, however, have propelled LDO into the spotlight once again. Commencing 2023 with strength, LDO reached its 2023 peak of $3.2994 in February, aligning with market trends. However, subsequent months witnessed a decline in LDO's value by 33% until November, attributed to regulatory uncertainties impacting the broader crypto landscape, including Lido DAO. To enhance its utility and accessibility, Lido DAO's governing body approved the deployment of Wrapped Staked Ether (wstETH) to Coinbase’s Base network. Lido DAO, known for its liquid staking protocol, enables users to stake cryptocurrencies while concurrently utilizing them in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. As announced by Lido DAO, the deployment of wstETH to the Base network introduces an official token version, facilitating trading and utilization within the Base network's DeFi ecosystem. In an optimistic outlook for Lido DAO, experts forecast that LDO could experience a surge, potentially crossing the $3.5 price mark to reach $3.80 per LDO in 2024. The integration of wstETH into Coinbase’s Base network is seen as a catalyst for increased demand and utility of LDO. However, a more conservative estimate in a bearish scenario suggests that LDO might stabilize around $2.39 in 2024.

Decoding Pre-IPO Funding: Key Points and Considerations

Benzinga

Pre-IPO Funding is a form of lending that provides individuals and companies with the opportunity to access capital using their equity holdings in private companies before those companies go public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Through pre-IPO Loans, individual investors and companies can unlock the value of their shares in private companies without having to sell them. This type of financing allows stakeholders to preserve ownership and participate in potential future gains after the company goes public. By leveraging the collateral of privately held shares, pre-IPO funding offers a flexible financing option for those seeking to capitalize on their investments before the IPO. This type of funding is particularly attractive for investors and early-stage companies looking to access liquidity and diversify their investment portfolios. “The pre-IPO loan is important to a business because it sets them up for success,” said Liquidty Group managing director Yaron Primovich. Pre-IPO Funding provides various benefits, including the ability to access capital quickly, flexibility in loan terms, and the opportunity to make informed investment decisions. It allows individuals and companies to secure financing against the anticipated value of their shares, based on the growth potential and market interest in the private company. Overall, pre-IPO Funding is an innovative financial solution that harnesses the potential value of equity holdings in private companies, allowing individuals and businesses to unlock capital while maintaining ownership and participation in the future success of these companies. Understanding pre-IPO Funding's Unique Value Proposition Essentially, pre-IPO Financing provides a conduit for individuals and firms to tap into capital based on their equity in private enterprises before the transformational event of an Initial Public Offering. Notably, it empowers stakeholders to: Unlock value from their privately-held equity without parting with it. Enjoy the privilege of gaining potential rewards after a public listing. Obtain swift capital access with tailored loan specifications. Leverage anticipated equity value, informed by the enterprise's growth trajectory and market appetite. This means that pre-IPO “primes the pump” for IPO success, something that most companies definitely would welcome in nearly any context. Why Opt for pre-IPO Financing? The consideration of a pre-IPO loan is a multifaceted strategy, essential for companies navigating the intricate transition from private to public status. One critical aspect is operational and growth finance. Prior to a public debut, organizations frequently require an infusion of capital to drive expansion, refine product or service offerings, recruit top-tier talent, or bolster their brand visibility. Securing this interim funding can serve as a strategic lever, ensuring they are ideally positioned for an impactful market entry. Furthermore, addressing the inevitable expenses associated with an IPO process is paramount. The journey from being a private company to a public entity is laden with significant expenditures, including costs related to regulatory compliance, underwriting fees, and extensive marketing campaigns. Pre-IPO loans offer a timely solution, conveniently supporting these financial demands without disrupting operational cash flow. Additionally, such financing allows companies to streamline their financial structures. This could involve settling outstanding liabilities or renegotiating terms on existing, high-cost debt. By optimizing their financial statements, companies can present a more attractive and secure profile, ultimately appealing to a broader spectrum of prospective investors. Not to be overlooked is the powerful signaling effect of securing pre-IPO financing. It's a strategic move that communicates an organization's confidence and belief in its growth story and future prospects. This, in turn, enhances the company's credibility and appeal, particularly in the eyes of savvy institutional investors who can discern such subtle yet confident market signals. Lastly, a vital tactical advantage of pre-IPO loans is the avoidance of equity dilution. By choosing debt financing over issuing new equity, existing shareholders can keep their current ownership percentages. This approach ensures that their interests remain tightly aligned with the company's future success, fostering an environment of trust and shared objectives as the enterprise embarks on its new journey as a publicly-traded entity. How do you apply for a pre-IPO loan? To apply for pre-IPO funding, companies need to go through a comprehensive application process. This process typically involves several steps and requirements. First, the company needs to contact a lender or financial institution that specializes in pre-IPO financing. The lender will usually ask for a business plan and financial statements, including balance sheets and income statements. These documents provide an overview of the company's financial health and growth potential. Additionally, the company needs to provide a valuation of its shares. This valuation is crucial as it determines the loan amount and the lender's assessment of risk. Lenders consider various factors when assessing the risk level, including the company's growth prospects, market competitiveness, management team, and the industry in which it operates. Once the initial evaluation is complete, the lender may ask for further due diligence. This can involve a more in-depth analysis of the company's financials, market positioning, and competitive landscape. The lender may also ask for meetings or interviews with management to gain a better understanding of the company's operations and plans. After the lender is satisfied with the due diligence process, loan terms and conditions will be negotiated. If both parties agree, the loan agreement will be finalized, and the funds will be disbursed to the company. A pre-IPO loan can benefit various individuals and entities. Companies can use the funds to cover IPO-related expenses, optimize their financial structure, and demonstrate confidence to potential investors. Institutional investors, private equity firms, and other early-stage investors can also benefit by providing capital to companies in exchange for future gains. Additionally, lenders themselves can benefit from pre-IPO loans by earning interest on the loan amount and potential future returns as the company goes public. How does a pre-IPO Loan work? A pre-IPO Loan is a financing option available to private companies in the pre-IPO stage. This type of loan allows companies to obtain capital before going public by using equity as collateral. Here is how it works: 1. Equity Collateral: In a pre-IPO Loan, the company offers its shares as collateral to the lender. The lender's valuation of the shares typically determines the value of the loan. This allows the company to access the capital it needs without giving up ownership or control. 2. Lender's Valuation: The lender evaluates the company's financials, growth potential, and market conditions to determine the value of the shares. This valuation helps determine loan amount and interest rates. Companies with a strong business model, promising growth prospects, and a solid management team are more likely to secure favorable loan terms. 3. Expected Growth of Equity: The pre-IPO Loan is structured in a way that aligns the repayment with the company's expected growth post-IPO. As the company goes public and its share prices increase, the value of the collateral (equity) also grows. This provides the lender with assurance that their investment will generate enough returns. 4. Importance of Future Business Plans: Lenders closely analyze the company's future business plans to assess its potential for success and growth. These plans demonstrate the company's strategy for using the loan proceeds and achieving milestones that will ultimately lead to a successful IPO. A well-defined and compelling business plan increases the company's chances of obtaining a pre-IPO Loan. In conclusion, a pre-IPO Loan allows private companies to access funding by using their equity as collateral. The loan amount is based on the lender's valuation of the shares, and repayment is aligned with the expected growth of equity post-IPO. Future business plans are crucial in attracting lenders and securing favorable loan terms, as they demonstrate the company's potential for success and growth. Other considerations for pre-IPO lending Other considerations for pre-IPO lending include factors such as share transfer restrictions, margin calls, and default scenarios. These factors add complexity to pre-IPO loans and underscore the importance of carefully assessing the borrower's financial situation and mitigating potential risks. Share transfer restrictions play a crucial role in pre-IPO lending. These restrictions prevent the borrower from freely transferring or selling their shares until the company goes public. Lenders need to carefully evaluate these restrictions to understand the limited liquidity options for collateral. This evaluation helps lenders gauge the potential difficulties in recovering their investments in case of default or other adverse scenarios. Margin calls are another crucial factor in pre-IPO lending. Lenders may require the borrower to maintain a certain loan-to-value ratio, and if the value of the collateral falls below this threshold, a margin call is triggered. This means that the borrower must repay a part of the loan or provide additional collateral to restore the required ratio. Margin calls can significantly impact the borrower's liquidity and ability to repay the loan. Default scenarios also need to be considered. In case of a default, lenders may have limited legal recourse due to the share transfer restrictions and the borrower's potential lack of assets other than the pre-IPO shares. Therefore, a thorough evaluation of the borrower's financial situation, creditworthiness, and risk management practices is essential to minimize the risk of default. In the end, the pre-IPO loan is a great vehicle to carry a company towards real success and growth, something even the most battle-hardened CEO can get behind. This post contains sponsored content.
