Bonk vs. Cutoshi: Bonk Momentum Fading, Could Cutoshi’s Presale Ignite a 100X Meme Rally?

Cutoshi

As the once-hyped Bonk suffered a 36.3% loss last month, investors are looking for newer coins with better potential in the meme coin space. One such token that stands out is Cutoshi ($CUTO). While Bonk has been a big name in the industry, its momentum is kind of fading due to its lack of utility and speculative nature. On the other hand, Cutoshi’s presale is gaining attention. The token is backed by a comprehensive ecosystem and practical benefits that could push a 100x rally. Here’s why Cutoshi stands out: Why are Traders Choosing Cutoshi over Bonk? Crypto fans are moving towards the Cutoshi coin from Bonk. Here’s why: Deflation Tokenomics vs. Infinitive Supply Cutoshi's CUTO token operates through a completely different strategy than most meme coins like Bonk. Meme coins have no capped supply so they are significantly susceptible to inflationary pressure as well as price manipulation. However, Cutoshi's $CUTO token functions through a different system that is devoid of these issues. CUTO utilizes a burn mechanism, ensuring the token’s circulating supply decreases over time, increasing value appreciation while driving scarcity, unlike competitors like Bonk. Cutoshi Token Utility on Educational Platform Cutoshi also incentivizes users to work on holding the token. It has many utilities that create long-term demand for the coin. Cutoshi Academy: It is a virtual platform for educating people about crypto, DeFi, and the Web3 space. While some of the learning modules are free, a few of them have to be paid for using the $CUTO token. This encourages Cutoshi token retention and creates demand. In contrast, Bonk does nothing at all, proving useless to long-term investors. Multi-chain DEX with Privacy Focus Cutoshi’s DEX provides privacy and security to the highest degree. Users don't have to give any KYC details and will still have complete control over their funds. This crypto exchange addresses the pain points of traditional platforms, offering a seamless, user-owned experience that Bonk lacks entirely. NFTs and Community Rewards The Cutoshi marketplace offers unique rewards with culturally themed NFTs tied to limited platform access. Only 8,000 NFTs will ever be created, each with its own unique benefits. Bonk, on the other hand, is behind in the collectibles-driven industry and does not offer any tangible rewards. Effective Global Brand Advertising Cutoshi uses the 'Lucky Cat' mark, a figure that represents wealth in several Asian countries, to appeal to Japanese and Chinese crypto holders. This type of cultural marketing is also used in their merchandise (which can be purchased through crypto and CUTO discounts), making holders of the tokens into brand ambassadors. Because Bonk uses a simple Shiba Inu design, its brand appeal is weak compared to the competition. Driven By The Community The Cutoshi ecosystem follows a community-first approach and allows holders of tokens to participate in decentralized decision-making. Whereas, with no governance in place, Bonk relies on third-party enthusiasm making them highly unstable. Bonk vs Cutoshi: Which one to buy? Cutoshi’s presale prices start low for new users, along with bonuses and NFT airdrops for early buyers. While Bonk is volatile, Cutoshi’s healthy combination of deflationary tokenomics and viral marketing alongside utility sounds like a great plan. Additionally, its audited smart contract and strategic roadmap (including partnerships and ecosystem expansion) further mitigate risks. While Bonk fades into meme coin redundancy, Cutoshi’s multifaceted ecosystem and practical benefits make it the superior choice for investors seeking long-term value. With the Cutoshi presale being live, the time to join the Lucky Cat revolution is now: Price: $0.031 per $CUTO Supply: 440,000,000 tokens (ERC-20) Website: https://cutoshi.com Telegram: https://t.me/cutoshicommunity X (Twitter): https://x.com/CutoshiToken Cutoshi is a revolutionary meme coin inspired by the Chinese Lucky Cat and Satoshi Nakamoto’s teachings.

Checkpoint from Better Trucks Fixes Bad Addresses Before a Truck Rolls

Better Trucks

What’s New: Better Trucks introduces Checkpoint, a proprietary customer address validation tool designed to ensure last-mile delivery accuracy. Checkpoint was announced at Manifest Vegas, the largest supply chain and logistics tech event in the world. Why: One of the biggest challenges in last-mile delivery is misdelivered packages. With approximately 60 million parcels delivered daily in the U.S., even small address errors result in as many as 3 million misdeliveries each day. These errors create delays, increase costs, and frustrate customers. Ecommerce retailers are competing for shoppers’ attention and conversion. To eliminate as much friction as possible, often addresses are not verified or corrected at the time of purchase. It falls to carriers to ensure a successful delivery. Useful Quote: Mike Koleno, Better Trucks Chief Technology Officer: “The battle against bad addresses is a never-ending war, and we’ve built a proactive tool in Checkpoint to increase our percentage of success, but the list of bad addresses is always lurking. Checkpoint creates a partnership with shippers to ensure accuracy after the purchase process through AI, human intelligence, and positive customer interaction — all to delight customers, reduce rates and reduce costs.” The Stats: Bad addresses are a significant issue, especially at volume. On average, bad addresses submitted by consumers account for approximately 0.5-1.5% of all packages shipped through Better Trucks. The cost of a package returned to the shipper is approximately 30% more than the cost of a delivered package Checkpoint is significantly improving a successful delivery rate for initial bad addresses while reducing time and costs to both Better Trucks and its shippers, while improving the end customer experience. How It Works: CheckPoint is a multilayered process to identify, correct and verify improper addresses. Better Trucks applies artificial intelligence to verify every address created by its shipping clients through at least three data sources led by Google Address Validation. The data sources provide corrected address information when available. When the address cannot be corrected automatically, the Better Trucks Checkpoint team researches the address to correct it. If the addresses cannot be corrected through the previous steps, for shippers who opt-in, an SMS message is sent to the recipient notifying them that a package is set for delivery but that the address requires verification. The recipient can correct the text of the address and also drop a pin on a Google Map to further confirm the location. At delivery, the Better Trucks Drive app layers geofencing into the delivery dropoff scan of the package, only allowing delivery to be scanned within a small radius of the location to ensure proper placement of the package. Finally, once an address is corrected, Checkpoint has the ability to recognize it for future successful deliveries. Better Trucks Technology: Checkpoint is available to all shippers using Better Trucks in its footprint that reaches more than 4 in 10 U.S. households. Clients have the option to white-label the technology to brand communications with their customers. Checkpoint is the latest technology built by Better Trucks, following the introduction of Vesitgo, the no-code parcel tracking platform connecting shippers, carriers, and third-party platforms. About Better TrucksBetter Trucks is a technology-driven, last-mile delivery carrier built for digital commerce. Founded in 2019, it delivers a better experience for retailers, e-commerce firms, and fulfillment centers to ship parcels faster with better communication and better value. Reaching more than 4 in 10 households in the U.S., Better Trucks offers next-day, two-day and longer delivery windows. Its connected network extends from distribution centers to recipients doorsteps including line-haul routes, sorting and labeling packages within its strategically-placed warehouses, and last-mile delivery through its extensive driver network. An industry leader building technology to streamline last-mile delivery, Better Trucks offers Vestigo, its no-code parcel tracking platform, and Checkpoint, a multilayered address verification process.

Infrastructure Capital Bond Income ETF Seeks To Provide High Yield With Stock Returns

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin Benzinga The world can be a challenging place for investors, with the prospects of trade wars, tariffs and geopolitical unrest looming large. Investors have the added problem of trying to find a place to hide out and make money in an environment where the Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates or keeping them on hold. Meanwhile, according to Wall Street firm AllianceBernstein, high-yield bonds tend to perform similarly to equities, giving investors the capital appreciation without all the risk. Because they are issued by companies in growth mode and in need of capital, they tend to perform like equities. Consider the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Index as one example. According to AllianceBernstein, since the launch of the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Index in 1998, the returns have been similar to the gains of equities based on the S&P 500. Plus, the Wall Street investment firm points out that while high-yield bonds often get a bum rap, sometimes referred to as junk bonds, over the past 30 years only 3% on average have defaulted. Defaults during the past five years have been less than 2%. Let’s not forget high-yield debt has historically outperformed other areas of the bond market. Actively Managing High Yield When it comes to high-yield bonds, not all are created equal, which is why actively managed high-yield bond ETFs may appeal to some investors. That is often true in the current environment, where uncertainty reigns supreme. High yield comes with a degree of risk, and if macroeconomic turmoil breaks out, having a money manager at the ready to make changes can mean the difference between gains and losses in the portfolio. It’s a big reason Infrastructure Capital designed its new Infrastructure Capital Bond Income ETF (BNDS) as an actively managed high-yield ETF. The fund says it wants to maximize current income and pursue strategic opportunities for capital appreciation, investing at least 80% of its total assets in fixed-income securities, largely focusing on corporate bonds. The ETF will also include muni and government bonds in its portfolio. Meanwhile, up to 20% of the fund’s net asset may also be invested in equities, although the fund is focused largely on corporate debt. The fund is run by Infrastructure Capital Founder, CEO and portfolio manager Jay D. Hatfield and portfolio manager Andrew Meleney. Together they have over thirty years of experience in the securities and investment markets. They have a top-down management approach to the fund, making investment decisions based on a bevy of global macroeconomic factors, including inflation, global interest rates, unemployment, commodity prices, monetary policy and economic growth. If the fund managers believe commodity prices are poised to increase, they may seek to purchase bonds of companies that have commodity exposure. The same nimbleness isn’t true of passively managed ETFs. The money managers report they are also big proponents of leveraging preferred shares to boost yield and limit risk. The fund is diversified across several industries including financials, REITS, utilities and technology, which can provide added protection. Investors Get Quantitative And Qualitative Analysis The fund managers say they rely on a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors when selecting investments for the ETF, emphasizing those fixed-income securities that are trading at a discount and/or offer a total return opportunity. The goal is to provide income and total return. The enterprise value, capital ratio, operating metrics and other key financial data are also built into the selection process, with the aim to purchase bonds at a fire sale that have a big potential to increase. When selecting bonds, the company says fund managers look for companies that have a strong competitive position, earn a high return on capital, have stable and reliable profits and are exhibiting the ability to generate cash in excess of growth needs. Some of the bond holdings in the ETF that Infrastructure Capital says check off those boxes are Land O’ Lakes, Global Net Lease Inc. ( NYSE: GNL) and Plains All American Pipeline LP (NASDAQ: PAA). The Ishares Trust-Ishares iboxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and the SPDR Bloomberg High Yield Bond ETF are the ETF’s top two holdings, accounting for over 4% of the fund each. Stable, steady and secure are among the attributes many income investors are seeking, and high yield may provide that sometimes. But not every high yield bond is the same. Some will make money, while others will crash and burn. Determining the winners and losers takes expertise, experience and insight, something Infrastructure Capital strives to bring to the table with its newly launched, actively managed, high-yield ETF.

Ethereum Staking Surge: While ETH Faces Market Headwinds, Cutoshi Presale Promises to Empower Utility MemeFi

Cutoshi

Ethereum (ETH) sees whiplash market fluctuations in contrast with booming institution staking, and the new MemeFi token Cutoshi (CUTO) looks to its DeFi-meme protocol for guidance in attracting high-growth-seeking investors. Let's explore both coins' role in 2025's crypto-inclusive economy. Ethereum’s Staking Growth Amidst Volatility in Price Source: Tradingview (ETH to USD) ETH stands at $2,656.13 as of the time of writing—4% down from $2,789 on 7th Feb. Despite that, ETH’s staking ecosystem is healthy ETH ETFs secured $18.10 million in five days, showcasing appeal from organizational investors. BlackRock announced plans to tokenize real-world assets (RWA) on Ethereum, reinforcing its institutional utility. The upcoming Pectra upgrade (testnet launch: February 26) aims to enhance validator efficiency, addressing scalability concerns. However, ETH’s price struggles persist: 36% decline in market cap since December 2024 ($360B → $230B). Trading below critical moving averages ($2,817 resistance) with bearish RSI (45) and MACD indicators. This decline in Ethereum's market position can be attributed to stiff competition from competing blockchains with lowered fees and heightened scalability. Besides, Ethereum lacks a strong narrative such as Bitcoin (named virtual gold) or, in this case Cutoshi (good-luck token)—something that is pursued in most cases for projects to augment community-focused utility. Cutoshi Presale: Bridging Hype of Memes with DeFi Utility Source: Cutoshi Website Amid the ETH price volatility, Cutoshi's presale spikes 106%, at $0.031 (Stage 4), with $1,688,372.769 in funds raised. The project leverages meme virality and real-life utility: Key Features Driven Demand: Multi-Chain DEX: 0.25% trading fee, cross-chain trading, and buyback programs for $CUTO scarcity maintenance. Yield Farming: Users receive NFTs and $CUTO through gamified quests, creating a community environment. Deflationary Model: 7% burn of token and supply capped at 440 million to counter inflation. Market Potential: Analysts project 100x growth post-listing, citing parallels to Shiba Inu’s 2021 rally. Targets Ethereum’s DeFi user base by simplifying cross-chain transactions, a $48B market by 2031. ETH vs. CUTO: Divergent Paths in 2025 While ETH battles macroeconomic headwinds, Cutoshi capitalizes on meme-driven retail momentum: Navigating The Crossroads: ETH vs. CUTO Ethereum staking boom reflects institution strongholds, but price fluctuations test investors' patience. As Cutoshi presale momentum reflects growing demand for coins combining meme popularity and DeFi complexity, With ETH having a $2,630 target level, $CUTO's multi-chain use cases and deflationary dynamics position it as a low-risk high-return participant in 2025's MemeFi race.

Save the Redwoods League Enters Agreement to Purchase 1,500+ Acres of Redwood Forest That Will Expand Adjacent Regional Park Near Russian River in Sonoma County

Save the Redwoods League

Save the Redwoods League (League) announced today that it has agreed to purchase and conserve the 1,517-acre Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion property in Sonoma County. Home to second- and third-growth coast redwood and Douglas-fir forest, the property is owned by the Mendocino Redwood Company, LLC (MRC). Following the purchase later this year, the League will convey the property to Sonoma County Regional Parks for long-term stewardship and eventually to expand Monte Rio Redwoods Regional Park and Open Space Preserve. (See map below.) Less than two hours north of San Francisco, Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion shares 75% of its border—a total of 4.7 miles—with Monte Rio Redwoods Regional Park and Open Space Preserve to the east and Sonoma Coast State Park to the west. Conserving this property will link a contiguous conserved area of more than 22,000 acres (more than 34 square miles) of forest, wildlife corridors and watershed, from the Bohemian Highway to the Sonoma Coast and north to Jenner Headlands. This mosaic of conserved lands was made possible through efforts of the League, Sonoma County Ag + Open Space (Ag + Open Space), Sonoma Land Trust, Sonoma County Regional Parks and other conservation partners over many decades. “A connected landscape is a resilient one,” said Sam Hodder, president and CEO of Save the Redwoods League. “The opportunity to secure Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion property creates a landscape of contiguous, conserved forest and creek habitat from the coast to the Bohemian Highway. Expanding public open space in this extraordinary scenic corridor will benefit residents and visitors with new recreational trails through redwood forests and across open meadows with stunning views of the Russian River Valley.” The League has negotiated an agreement to buy the multiparcel property from MRC for $24 million. With its proximity to communities, Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion faces a significant threat of residential development. The purchase will bring the total land conserved by Save the Redwoods League in Sonoma County to 15,626 acres (24 square miles), which includes the recently acquired Sonoma Coast Redwoods property. Partnering to Conserve Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion To reach the $24 million purchase price, Save the Redwoods League is pursuing $20 million in public and private funding, including up to $6 million from Ag + Open Space to acquire a conservation easement and recreational covenant over the property to ensure its natural and recreational resources are conserved forever. The League and conservation partner Sonoma Land Trust are together raising the remaining $4 million to acquire the property. Individuals who would like to learn more and support the project are invited to visit SaveTheRedwoods.org/MonteRioRedwoods. “Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion is a cornerstone of regional conservation efforts,” said Eamon O’Byrne, executive director of Sonoma Land Trust. “It connects to thousands of acres of conserved lands, unifying decades of hard work and commitments we have made to protecting natural resources, habitat for threatened species and wildlife corridors for a healthy community. We are thrilled to join Save the Redwoods League and our partners on this milestone project.” “This project is an exciting piece of a much larger puzzle,” said Misti Arias, Ag + Open Space’s general manager. “We’ve spent many years working to conserve lands that connect Monte Rio to the coast, and this expansion is essential to making that a reality. Conserving these large swaths of interconnected conserved lands means habitat for plants and wildlife, healthy watersheds and exciting spaces for people to explore and connect with the natural world.” What’s at Stake The 1,517-acre Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion property contains 1,287 acres of coast redwood forest that has been in timber production for over 100 years. There are a few old-growth trees across the property, including one 14-foot-wide ancient tree with a natural tunnel through its base. The property’s coast redwoods are mixed with Douglas-fir, tanoak and California bay. Among other important environmental values, the forest at Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion is a high conservation priority for its carbon storage and climate benefits. Redwood forests store carbon in their rot-resistant wood for centuries, and research has confirmed that young redwoods grow quickly, storing substantial amounts of carbon in a relatively short period. The property has 3.7 miles of streams, including the headwaters of Dutch Bill, Freezeout and Willow creeks—tributaries of the Russian River and spawning streams for federally listed coho salmon and steelhead trout. History of Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion is within the traditional lands of the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians, as well as the Southern Pomo territory of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. As with most of the redwood forest that historically grew along the Russian River corridor, old-growth trees of this property were logged over a long period of time, beginning in the mid-19th century. The redwoods today are the next generation and have been managed for over 25 years by MRC. MRC previously sold nearly 3,900 acres of land that is contiguous to the Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion property for conservation in 2005. “From its inception, MRC has sought to employ exemplary forest practices, including harvesting less than growth, the elimination of traditional clear cutting, protection of old-growth redwoods and substantial aquatic restoration on its forestlands,” said Bob Mertz, CEO of MRC. “MRC earned Forest Stewardship Certification (FSC) in November 2000 and is in its 25th year of operating within FSC standards. We are pleased to work with Save the Redwoods League on this transaction and look forward to further work together.” To access hi-res images and video, please visit our newsroom. Save the Redwoods League One of the nation’s longest-running conservation organizations, Save the Redwoods League has been protecting and restoring redwood forests since 1918.
