Following Solana's Impressive Rise, What's the Next Promising Cryptocurrency to Keep an Eye On?

Blockchain Digest

Exploring investment potentials beyond top altcoins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, many investors are choosing top DeFi projects like Solana (SOL) and RebelSatoshi ($RBLZ). Recently, Solana saw a huge selloff from FTX. Meanwhile, $RBLZ is gaining attention with its ongoing token presale. What are the blockchain ICO experts’ projections for these top crypto coins? Let’s delve in and find out. Solana Price Prediction: SOL Surges Despite FTX Sell-offs Amid FTX 's bankruptcy woes, the crypto exchange has been actively divesting its crypto assets. According to Lookonchain data, more than 50% of the transfers from FTX involve SOL. This becomes more evident as, on November 6, FTX transferred 750,000 SOL to Binance and Kraken as part of its liquidation process. SOL enthusiasts and observers interested in Solana price forecasts have been closely monitoring these actions by FTX. The concern stems from the potential impact these sell-offs might exert on SOL’s price. Despite FTX's sell-off of Solana, the token's price has exhibited remarkable resilience, maintaining an upward trajectory. From November 6 to November 23, the Solana token experienced a remarkable surge in price, soaring from $42.13 to $58.26. This 38.26% increase in SOL's price occurred despite the SOL sell-offs by FTX. Crypto analysts believe that the upsurge in Solana's price, notwithstanding FTX's significant sell-offs, signifies a robust and enduring demand for SOL tokens. Due to this, predictions for Solana price predictions indicate that SOL will likely maintain its current bullish momentum, potentially surging to $62 by December. On the other hand, other industry experts believe that the FTX sell-offs may trigger a price decline for SOL. If that happens, they foresee SOL declining to the $40.55 mark by the end of November. Examining Rebel Satoshi’s Rebel Revolution Rebel Satoshi is a transformative cryptocurrency project that has rapidly garnered attention among top ICO experts and investors. Drawing inspiration from iconic mavericks like Satoshi Nakamoto and Guy Fawkes, this project stands as a beacon of defiance against conventional financial norms. At its core, Rebel Satoshi seeks to unite the silent majority and challenge centralized crypto entities. The project's focal point is its native token, $RBLZ, an ERC-20 digital asset that embodies the essence of rebellion and decentralization. What sets $RBLZ apart is its deflationary issuance model. This unique feature, coupled with a commitment to zero buy or sell taxes, positions $RBLZ as a top crypto to buy. Rebel Satoshi isn't solely about financial gains; it's a movement advocating for decentralized finance and community empowerment. Encouraging active participation, the project engages its community in interactive quests and embraces meme culture, fostering an environment of unity and engagement. Presently, RebelSatoshi is conducting the Early Bird Round of its public presale, offering $RBLZ at $0.01 per token. With anticipation building for the subsequent Rebel Round, experts foresee a potential 30% surge, further solidifying $RBLZ 's value proposition. Additionally, the project aims to list $RBLZ at 40.025, indicating the potential for a 150% return on investment for early supporters. Rebel Satoshi isn't just another crypto project; it's a movement with a mission to redefine the crypto landscape, making it a compelling consideration for investors seeking both financial growth and active community participation.

Putting the Brakes on Distracted Driving This Holiday Season

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/-m__hB55lSE The holiday season is here – and that means there will be an increase of motorists on U.S. roadways. With more families hitting the road, it’s an important time to discuss the dangers and consequences of distracted driving. The 2023 Travelers Risk Index on distracted driving found that 70% of consumers feel that distracted driving is more of a problem now than it was over the past few years. Following are additional highlights from the 2023 Travelers Risk Index: · 80% make or receive calls. · 57% use handheld devices. · 28% post on social media. · 27% take photos or videos. The Travelers Institute, the public policy division at Travelers, has been raising awareness of the dangers of distracted driving through its Every Second Matters® campaign – an initiative that began in 2017. Since the campaign started, the Travelers Institute has published a number of whitepapers and resources to help consumers understand the risks and learn how to be safe behind the wheel. The Travelers Institute was joined by Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT), the world’s largest telematics solution provider, which regularly publishes new distracted driving data insights and road safety reports throughout the year. According to its new report, The State of Distracted Driving in 2023 & the Future of Road Safety, CMT reports that the 23% surge in distracted driving in 2022 caused an additional 420,000 crashes, 1,000 fatalities, and $10 billion in economic damages. Additionally, a new analysis from CMT shows that distracted driving increased by 9.2% on Thanksgiving Day from 2020 to 2022. For more information, visit TRAVELERSINSTITUTE.ORG AND CMT.AI.

Pike Receives First Co-Grant from Circle and Wormhole Foundation

Wormhole Foundation

Pike, a next-generation native cross-chain lending market, will receive a co-grant from Circle and Wormhole Foundation (WF) for its work that integrates USDC as its native stablecoin, and utilizes Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) and Wormhole’s cross-chain Messaging. Pike is set to receive $50,000 in USDC funding, underlining the strong commitment from Circle and WF to support projects that enhance the functionality of the DeFi ecosystem and pioneer the category of natively cross-chain applications. Pike is at the forefront of the DeFi space. Pike users can experience seamless asset collateralization on one blockchain and borrow on another, and overcome the limitations of isolated markets and bridging mechanisms. This vision aligns perfectly with Circle and WF’s aim to foster the next generation of DeFi protocols with cross-chain functionality t. Read more about Pike here. WF’s EVP & Head of Strategy, Robinson Burkey said "Pike is a singular application that operates across all networks simultaneously, enabling users to borrow and lend assets from any blockchain. It represents a significant leap forward in the current DeFi landscape, featuring native assets, a cure to liquidity fragmentation, and a delightful user experience." One of the core principles of Pike as a lending market, is to avoid the need for bridging and/or wrapped tokens, whether as collateral or as borrowable assets. The reason for this is simple - the current DeFi environment is heavily siloed and compartmentalized, with users subjected to countless different markets, of multiple standards of the same fundamental asset. Circle is establishing USDC as a chain-agnostic digital currency. Native USDC across blockchain ecosystems reduce the need for wrapped and bridged versions, putting it head and shoulders above any other USD stablecoin within the market. “Pike is a key protocol that will help deliver seamless cross-chain activity across Web3,” said Sandra Persing, VP of Developer and Ecosystem Marketing at Circle. “We are proud to support their team as they leverage USDC and CCTP to deliver a more cost-effective, secure cross-chain lending and borrowing solution.” Circle’s CCTP and Wormhole’s cross-chain messaging technology empowers Pike to eliminate the need for wrapped or bridged assets, and presents a simplified and more secure lending environment. Terry Lam, Pike's co-founder, highlighted the importance of CCTP, stating: “Circle’s CCTP and Wormhole’s cross-chain messaging solution enables us to set the new standard for permissionless cross-chain lending by elevating overall security and user experience.” This collaboration sets the stage for Pike to become a key component of the Circle ecosystem, driving the adoption of USDC as a chain-agnostic stablecoin and showcasing the potential of CCTP technology. This partnership reflects a shared vision between Circle, Wormhole, and Pike, aiming to establish a seamless cross-chain future for DeFi.

About Pike Pike is a Universal Liquidity Protocol; it is designed to unleash utility for native assets by aggregating liquidity across blockchain networks. Pike’s vision is to become a universal liquidity layer that enables frictionless movement and accessibility of native assets across ecosystems. Pike is built on top of Wormhole’s Cross-Chain Data Messaging and Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). One fundamental primitive of Pike is to enable users to supply native assets on source chains and borrow native assets destination chains without interacting with cross-chain bridges and handling wrapped assets.
