3 DeFi Coins Hoping to Dominate the Crypto Scene in October 2023

Blockchain Digest

After Binance NFT ended Polygon support, $MATIC has been sliding continuously. Yet, Borroe.Finance ($ROE) keeps rising as more investors buy into Stage 2 of its presale. Elsewhere, Shiba Inu has recorded many use cases and adoptions in recent weeks, but $SHIB is still struggling. Can Polygon and Shiba Inu find their footing to compete with Borroe.Finance? >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Polygon looks towards recovery The NFT market's value decline has led many owners to cease trading, a trend observed by prominent data analysis platforms. In a September 8, 2023 statement, Binance revealed its intention to discontinue support for Polygon ($MATIC) NFTs. Although the specific reason for eliminating Polygon ($MATIC) NFTs remains undisclosed, Binance NFT cited a desire to streamline its product offerings on the platform. In recent months, users have been shifting from Ethereum ($ETH) due to its high fees and would prefer Polygon's ($MATIC) network. This delisting appears to have hit Polygon ($MATIC), significantly pushing it downwards. Despite this setback, Polygon ($MATIC) remains innovative and has ambitious plans for Ethereum scaling in Polygon 2.0. It aims to become the industry's fastest blockchain. Polygon Labs has initiated this transformation, releasing three key Polygon Improvement Proposals (PIPs) to mark the genesis of Polygon ($MATIC) 2.0. On October 2, 2023, $MATIC was trading at $0.5606. Analysts expect $MATIC to rise to $0.6125 by the end of 2023, supported by increased demand as investors buy the current dip.

Notably, the platform will offer these firms fair and efficient instant funding solutions. Borroe.Finance ($ROE) uses invoice financing strategies to achieve its targets. It stands unique since invoice financing is absent among top DeFi projects. Acquiring funds on Borroe.Finance ($ROE) is easy because users only need to collateralize their upcoming earnings into fractionalized NFTs. These non-fungible tokens sell at discounted rates on Borroe.Finance's ($ROE) marketplace. Furthermore, users can integrate extra incentives into their NFTs to increase their appeal to potential investors. $ROE token possesses a unique utility within Borroe.Finance’s ecosystem. As the project continues to develop, $ROE will have a central role in shaping its future, presenting massive growth potential and increased utility. Borroe.Finance ($ROE) benefits buyers and sellers with immediate transactions, cost-efficiency, and swift approvals. Additionally, Borroe.Finance ($ROE) incentivizes active users and offers special discounts on transaction costs and marketplace fees.

By the end of the presale, $ROE will trade at $0.0400, a 167% profit from the current price, making it the best crypto investment currently. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Shiba Inu Adopted In Texas, $SHIB Hopes To Reign Again Texans now have the option to pay their solar panel bills using a range of cryptocurrencies, including the well-known meme coin Shiba Inu ($SHIB). This Shiba Inu ($SHIB) payment option became accessible through a partnership between the blockchain payment system FCF Pay and Chariot Energy, a Houston, Texas-based solar energy company. Residents can use Shiba Inu ($SHIB), by following three easy steps. To use this option, individuals must designate the mentioned company as the recipient and provide their billing details (name, email, and residential address).

Terra Classic to Stop Minting USTC, An Ethereum Whale Invests $4M In Chainlink, Borroe.Finance Rises 50%

Blockchain Digest

Terra Classic plans to get $USTC back to its dollar peg. Now, analysts speculate on the difficulty of executing that. Elsewhere, Chainlink's recent partnerships in Australia could be behind the recent $4 million $LINK purchase. Yet, Borroe.Finance's ($ROE) approach to revenue financing is stealing the spotlight. Some analysts say $ROE's recent 50% growth could make it one of the top crypto coins. Are these projections realistic? Let's discuss. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Terra Classic ($USTC) Votes on Game-changing Proposal On September 25, 2023, Terra Classic's community voted on a proposal to push $USTC back to its $1 peg. $USTC lost its dollar peg after Terra's collapse in May 2022. The proposal will halt all minting and reminting of $USTC. The conversion of xUST to $USTC would also cease. Terra, now Terra Classic, was one of the largest stablecoin issuers until its famous collapse in May 2022. Its collapse followed $USTC’s de-pegging, which then caused Terra to lose over $60 billion. If Terra Classic's plans are successful, $USTC will gain increased adoption once it reaches $1 again. $USTC's recovery could also make Terra Classic one of the top DeFi projects again. Whale Invests $4 Million in $LINK After Chainlink's Tokenization Partnership On September 23, 2023, LookOnChain revealed that an Ethereum whale had purchased $4 million worth of $LINK tokens. The purchase mirrors Chainlink's ($LINK) rising whale activity in the past few weeks. Furthermore, it follows Chainlink's recent partnership with a major Australian bank to collaborate on a tokenization program. Chainlink also announced a partnership with Coin98 Labs to expand DeFi services in Southeast Asia. The rise in Chainlink's whale activity comes as $LINK has sharply risen despite the current bear market. $LINK was trading at $5.93 on September 1. By September 25, it had risen by 26.1% to $7.48, two days after Chainlink’s $4 million whale activity. And one week later LINK stands at $7.78 Moreover, Chainlink ($LINK) is looking to expand its services outside America and Europe. The partnership with Coin98 Labs will boost Chainlink’s ($LINK) DeFi user count in Asia. Some analysts say $LINK's rise is due to Chainlink's growing collaborations. These analysts conclude that $LINK could rise to $8.76 when the market recovers from its bearishness. Borroe.Finance ($ROE): Upgrading Invoice Finance Via Artificial Intelligence Borroe.Finance is a blockchain-based solution to the problem of inadequate funding avenues for Web 3.0 firms. Built on Polygon, Borroe.Finance is a community marketplace for the smooth disbursement of timely loans. The platform provides funding for its users by allowing them to sell off their future earnings on its marketplace. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Borroe.Finance ($ROE) uses blockchain technology to grant wider visibility to loan requests on its platform. This ensures that companies have a higher chance of getting their loan requests approved. Furthermore, Borroe.Finance is an easy way for users to invest in low-risk opportunities with high profit margins. Each Borroe.Finance ($ROE) member is entitled to low costs, instant funding, and special marketplace rewards. Furthermore, members can access on and off-ramp crypto and fiat payment solutions. With its unique services and strong market projections, Borroe.Finance could easily become one of the best DeFi crypto projects. $ROE is already in Stage 2 of its presale, costing $0.0150. It has already grown by 50% from its initial price of $0.0100. By Stage 3 of its presale, $ROE would have risen by 33.3% to reach $0.0200. And it doesn’t end there. Projections highlight $0.0400 as the final price for the presale, meaning current buyers will benefit from 167% ROI. This surge far exceeds the numbers of Terra Classic and even the popular Chainlink for 2023.

News Release

Binance Japan Partners with MUFJ To Develop Stablecoin, $QUBE Outpaces $UNI As Top-Performing DeFi Token

Web3 AI Media

InQubeta ($QUBE) has emerged as one of the top DeFi projects in the cryptocurrency space, outperforming platforms like Uniswap ($UNI) as its prices grow by close to 100% during one of the most bearish times so far this year in the cryptocurrency space. InQubeta showcases how impactful decentralized finance projects can be as it opens up artificial intelligence (AI) investments with smart contracts, ERC20 coins (commonly called non-fungible tokens), and an Ethereum-based blockchain. It skirts the obstacles that make it almost impossible for a large portion of the global population to use traditional investment services. With InQubeta, anyone with a debit/credit card or a cryptocurrency wallet can buy equity in AI startups on its non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace. Meanwhile, Binance recently partnered with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) to develop a new stablecoin based on multiple currencies. The currency will be developed on the Progmat Coin platform, which was developed by MUFG. The platform meets Japan’s rigorous regulations for the issuance and management of stablecoins. Top DeFi projects to invest in: InQubeta ($QUBE) outpaces $UNI Investors who join the $QUBE presale during its beta stage are close to doubling their investment and newcomers can still enjoy 3x returns before the event ends. Over $3.3 million has been raised so far as investors scurry to attach themselves to the first cryptocurrency project that has the potential to be a major player as the artificial intelligence revolution unfolds. Artificial intelligence has come a long way since the days when it was no more than a cool concept showcased in popular sci-fi media. These days, AI concepts many people never expected to materialize are now a reality. Driverless taxi cabs now carry fares in cities like San Francisco and Tesla recently demoed its Optimus humanoid robot performing tasks like sorting different objects autonomously. There’s no question about it; AI is about to transform the world in ways many of us have never imagined. It will disrupt almost every existing industry, creating opportunities for savvy investors to walk away with substantial profits. Thanks to InQubeta, it's now easier than ever to gain access to these opportunities. A new way to invest There are no hurdles to jump over when investing in the InQubeta network. Anyone with a crypto wallet or a credit/debit card can invest by buying $QUBE. The project’s native token is used to buy equity-based NFTs sold by AI startups looking for funding. Investors acquire part ownership of these companies by buying their NFTs, which serve as stocks, on the InQubeta marketplace with $QUBE. The value of ERC20 coins purchased can be monitored in each investor’s InQubeta account and traded on the marketplace whenever they wish. Investing directly in the project by holding or staking $QUBE could earn investors as much as investing in AI startups does. A 1.5 billion $QUBE cap and burn protocols encourage the long-term price of $QUBE. Binance and MUFJ collaborate on new stablecoin The new stablecoin being developed by Binance and MUFJ will be tied to the Japanese yen and incorporate other currencies like the U.S. dollar. This will allow users to use the stablecoin to carry out transactions in multiple currencies. A new stablecoin could end up playing a major role in Binance’s partnership with the Japanese market. It will also help to diversify Japanese financial services. Summary InQubeta is one of the best DeFi projects launched this year and its presale has emerged as one of the most lucrative opportunities. Some analysts have $QUBE prices growing by as much as 100x once launched as it funnels capital to AI startups by making it easier to invest in the technology.

Increased Volatility Could Be Looming For 2024 Election — Here’s One Way Investors Are Looking To Hedge

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga As we come up on an election year, investors and politicians alike are interested in how it will affect the economy. The stock market generally can experience increased volatility during election years due to the introduction of uncertainty. This may leave investors grappling with the potential outcomes and policy changes that may occur as a result of the election. The campaign period often fuels market fluctuations as investors and companies react to political rhetoric, policy proposals and potential shifts in government leadership. Those looking for less volatility and more stability may want to look at necessity-based commercial real estate. This asset class tends to be largely insulated from the daily swings of the market, and by extension, the volatility that traditionally occurs in election years. Unlike other types of real estate and the traditional stock market, necessity-based (properties that are essential for everyday living — including sectors such as healthcare facilities, grocery stores, multifamily housing and more) properties tend to have consistent demand. This relative stability can help mitigate the risks associated with market fluctuations — and it seems like the current administration will seek to keep interest rates relatively steady through the end of 2024, according to necessity-based real estate firm First National Realty Partners (FNRP). FNRP is a renowned necessity-based real estate firm that has established itself as the leader of the specific industry. The company was the #1 privately-held acquirer of grocery-anchored retail real estate in 2022. With a track record of success, FNRP has established itself as the go-to investment firm for those seeking to navigate the ever-changing market and achieve long-term wealth preservation. With over $2 billion in assets under management, FNRP has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver results for investors. Their portfolio boasts an impressive 60 current assets held, showcasing their expertise in identifying and acquiring high-quality properties that align with their investment strategy. Since its inception, FNRP has distributed over $100 million to its valued investors – a testament to their commitment to generating returns. Their successful growth is evidenced by the acquisition of over 11.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) across 23 states, solidifying their nationwide presence and extending their reach to diverse markets. Commercial real estate investments are known for their ability to provide stable cash flows, appreciation potential and risk mitigation through diversification across different properties and tenants — particularly for investors interested in grocery store-anchored properties. Grocery-anchored properties are known for their stability, as these types of properties typically have high occupancy rates and provide regular income from stable tenants. Grocery stores are considered to be a recession-resistant asset class, making them a potentially valuable option for investors who seek the relative stability and safety of income-generating properties. As the election year approaches, we may see the market shift and uncertainty increase. FNRP's strategy of investing in necessity-based, grocery-anchored shopping centers might be a good fit for investors trying to combat potential market volatility.

With 800,000 Customers And Over 26,000 5-Star Reviews On Trust Pilot, Splash Wines Is Reinventing D2C In The Wine Industry

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Join Splash Wines on its mission bringing wine to every door by investing in them here! While the e-commerce market has been strong for decades, COVID-19 propelled the direct-to-consumer (D2C) model to the forefront of business’s minds. Consumers have increasingly turned to online shopping for convenience and safety. Brands like BarkBox (NYSE: BARK), Blue Apron (NASDAQ: APRN), and Harry’s are all prime examples. The global subscription e-commerce market is projected to reach $904.2 billion by 2026, with an increase from $72.91 billion in 2021 to $120.04 billion in 2022. With social distancing measures still being followed around the country and consumer behaviors shifting, the ability to have products delivered regularly to the doorstep and tailored to specific preferences or interests has gained significant appeal. While D2C models have seen significant success in various industries, the wine market has been relatively slower to adopt this trend – leaving a considerable amount of untapped potential and white space. Traditionally, purchasing wine has involved visiting physical stores or relying on restaurants and bars for selection. However, by embracing direct-to-consumer models, wine producers and retailers can tap into the vast market of wine lovers who yearn for the convenience, personalization and curated experiences that D2C services and subscription boxes provide. Splash Wines is shedding new light on the luxury market by reimagining D2C in the wine industry. Founded in 2014, Splash Wines is a family business with three generations of experience in the wine industry. They have been at the forefront of the internet wine industry for the past 15 years, which has allowed them to establish themselves as a prominent player in the D2C space. By directly selling to consumers, the company is able to eliminate the need for middlemen and offer wines at competitive prices. With top TrustPilot ratings and a customer base of over 800,000, Splash Wines has been shown to prioritize customer satisfaction and loyalty. The company focuses on exceptional customer service – it does not rely on chatbots or automated messages when talking to customers. The company has also experienced notable growth over the past few years, achieving three times revenue growth in just three years. In 2022, their revenue reached $30 million, and they have set the ambitious goal to reach $50 million by 2025. What sets Splash Wines apart is its agile approach and its focus on offering wines priced below $10. By delivering affordable wines to customers, they cater to a broad consumer base and have the opportunity to diversify their product offerings further. With their expertise in digital retail capabilities, the company is well-positioned to take advantage of the growing e-commerce market. As a D2C leader, Splash Wines capitalizes on the growing trend of consumers purchasing wine directly from producers and bypassing traditional distribution channels. This approach allows them to build direct relationships with customers and create personalized experiences, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. The company is currently holding a raise on StartEngine to continue to expand its business.

Space and Time Integrates Verifiable Compute Layer Natively into Chainlink Functions

Space and Time

Space and Time today announces that Proof of SQL, the platform’s novel zk-proof for SQL queries, will run its zk-Verifier natively on Chainlink nodes. Space and Time will leverage the Chainlink Network to provide consensus on the proof results. The integration is announced as Space and Time is named the official preferred data warehouse solution for the Chainlink ecosystem. Proof of SQL was released in August of this year. Originally designed for queries run in the Space and Time data warehouse, the proof can now be attached to any centralized or decentralized SQL database to enable verifiable, zk-proven query results for smart contracts, AI models, and enterprises. “We are thrilled to make Proof of SQL available to all databases and to integrate Chainlink as the consensus layer,” said Nate Holiday, CEO and Co-Founder of Space and Time. “As the world’s business increasingly moves to operate at the intersection of blockchain and AI, verifiable data and compute will become more critical than ever. We see a future where every database needs to be verified by Space and Time’s zk-proof.” Proof of SQL allows a database to generate a SNARK cryptographic proof of SQL query execution to guarantee that queries were computed accurately and on untampered data. The zk-protocol is composed of two parties: the Prover, which generates a proof of query execution, and the Verifier, which validates the proof against a cryptographic hash of the data. With the new integration, the Proof of SQL Verifier will run natively on Chainlink nodes. The Chainlink Network will come to consensus that the results received from the Prover have not been tampered with, allowing the protocol to become more trustless, transparent, and decentralized. Space and Time already includes native integration with Chainlink Functions, enabling users to send query results onchain directly from Space and Time. With the Proof of SQL Verifier running as a Chainlink Functions job, Space and Time becomes more deeply integrated with the Chainlink platform as its official data warehouse solution. The leading Web3 services platform, Chainlink enables smart contracts to connect to real-world data, computation, and any public or private blockchain. Space and Time builds on this vision by providing zk-queries to smart contracts through the Chainlink Network. “We’re excited that Space and Time is using Chainlink for secure decentralized computation in its novel Proof of SQL ZK protocol,” said Sergey Nazarov, Co-founder of Chainlink. “By enabling developers to underpin application databases with cryptographic proof, Chainlink and Space and Time are powering the creation of an end-to-end decentralized tech stack that helps scale Web3.” Together, Space and Time and Chainlink are realizing a new era of verifiability, data-driven smart contracts, and enterprise adoption of blockchain technology. About Space and Time Space and Time is the first AI-powered decentralized data warehouse that joins tamperproof on-chain and off-chain data to deliver enterprise use cases to smart contracts. Space and Time has developed a novel cryptography called Proof of SQL that allows developers to connect analytics directly to smart contracts, opening up a wealth of powerful new use cases and business logic on blockchain technology. Space and Time is built from the ground up as a multichain data platform for developers in financial services, gaming, DeFi, or any project requiring verifiable data across enterprise, blockchain and AI.
