Tron (TRX) and Popcat Restore Bullish Trajectory But It Is Trending Altcoin That Is Making Waves

Cutoshi

The rivalry between meme coins and DeFi coins for the best investment potential is subtly present in the crypto market. Despite the obvious lack of genuine utility in most, meme coins have always led investment gains with their community support. This Q4 marks a chance for some of them to shine again, including Popcat (POPCAT), whose growth is poised to contend with Tron (TRX), a top DeFi token. Meanwhile, a new meme coin, Cutoshi (CUTO), is also exhibiting potential of outperforming top altcoins with its DeFi-oriented MemeFi platform. Cutoshi Attracts Risk-Averse Crypto Investors Into Its Lucrative MemeFi Ecosystem As a hybrid cryptocurrency with a DeFi-based ecosystem and a meme-backed platform, Cutoshi (CUTO) is emerging as the next meme coin with potential for huge gains. With its devotion to Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision, which entails privacy, decentralization and monetary freedom, Cutoshi aims to offer its users a standardized DeFi environment where they can participate in beneficial DeFi activities. These activities start from its main allure, a decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol where its users can trade cryptocurrencies across multi-chains while allowing peer-to-peer. Additionally, Cutoshi provides users with a way to maximize their holdings through a token farming model. Here, they can engage in community-focused challenges and quests to win token rewards, NFTs and more. Featuring a Learning Hub in its ecosystem, dedicated to spreading the teachings of DeFi. Cutoshi has attracted huge interest as its presale has now accumulated over $1,000,000, set for more gains, potentially surpassing all meme coins, including Popcat. Popular Meme Coin Analyst Hints On The Need To Be Bullish On Popcat Token In an earlier post on X, Murad, a famous meme coin analyst, emphasized why Popcat will be bullish this year. Murad first hinted at the bullishness of Bitcoin before he further added that this would spark a bull market for Solana, which will directly influence the Popcat token. Interestingly, POPCAT token’s technical analysis further points to a strong buy, which suggests a sustained trend and an imminent surge in the near future. Coupled with that, in another X post, Murad also claimed that the POPCAT token is a better meme coin than Shiba Inu, sparking a mixed reaction among meme coin enthusiasts. Meanwhile, more investors are incredibly holding POPCAT in preparation for the next bull market. Tron Token Experiences Significant Price Jump Restoring Its Bull Trajectory Tron coin (TRX) has had one of the most resilient trajectories throughout the year, due to its highly fluctuating performance. At the moment, its weekly price ranges from $0.19 to $0.2003. The price of Tron has seen over 25% gain in the past month. The past week, Tron coin was able to secure a 7.55% gain. Tron’s network is also gaining activity, as its network volume just pumped by 9.17%. Will Cutoshi Surpass Popcat In The Month Of Its Launch? Cutoshi’s launch in the meme coin market is significant due to its unique MemeFi approach and ties to the lucrative DeFi market, all of which Popcat lacks. In other words, Cutoshi is well-positioned to outperform Popcat and even top DeFi coins in the month of its launch.

New Meme Coin Cutoshi Goes Viral Surpasses $1 Million Raised Overnight

Cutoshi

Being early on a low-cap gem that brings in massive price multipliers is what investors live for. The current meme coin landscape is seeing dozens of new projects released every day. However, very few of them survive the first major sell-off, as they have little to no substance backing them up. Cutoshi wants to flip the script by merging meme culture with DeFi functionality, which not only presents a real use case but also ensures that Cutoshi will thrive in the long run. Cutoshi, The Utility-Driven Meme Coin Revolution Cutoshi’s cuteness is backed by a state-of-the-art DeFi ecosystem that rivals other established protocols like Uniswap and Shiba Inu. With its focus on decentralization and privacy, Cutoshi upholds the values that inspired Satoshi Nakamoto to create Bitcoin and change the world forever. At the heart of the Cutoshi ecosystem is CUTO DEX, a non-custodial decentralized exchange that does away with the middleman. Users not only will retain complete control over their assets, but they also won’t have to compromise sensitive information. CUTO DEX integrates all major blockchains, which means that users can perform seamless cross-chain transactions for just 0.25% in fees. On top of this, Cutoshi will also offer a dedicated non-custodial multi-chain wallet. Users will be able to store and manage their assets privately and securely. How Cutoshi Brings Luck To The Blockchain Cutoshi pays tribute to the Lucky Cats from Japanese legends. These cats are displayed in stores and households as tokens of good fortune. Meanwhile, Cutoshi is quite literally a token of good fortune. Cutoshi wants to bring good fortune to early adopters. Cutoshi understands that communities make or break projects. This is why significant monetary rewards await investors who actively engage with the platform. Users will have the opportunity to earn a passive income stream by staking their $CUTO tokens or providing liquidity. Moreover, even if the presale is still ongoing, they can participate in the Cuto Farming initiative. They will be tasked with completing various missions and tasks aimed at boosting Cutoshi’s online presence. For their efforts, they will receive CUTO points that can be redeemed for $CUTO once the token launches. At the Cuto Shrine, they will have the opportunity to win daily prizes and other surprises that have yet to be revealed. Over 2,300 participants are already farming points and this number is growing by the day. Enter The Cutoshi Academy The crypto world can be quite overwhelming at times this is why the Cutoshi Academy was envisioned. This is one of Cutoshi’s most interesting features that further separates it from run-of-the-mill meme coins. The Academy is a learning hub that wants to lend a helping hand to crypto beginners. On this platform, newcomers will learn the basics of DeFi, trading and portfolio management. This initiative has already garnered great praise as it not only fosters a welcoming, inclusive environment but also champions worldwide crypto adoption. The CUTO Presale Currently, Stage 3 of the Cutoshi presale is underway and $CUTO sells for just $0.0259. This is a great entry point for early investors, as the price is likely the lowest it will ever be. Cutoshi’s ground-breaking reward mechanism, coupled with its innovative DEX, could lead to $CUTO outperforming many majors in the meme coin space. When taking into account all that this project has to offer, it could very well become one of the biggest surprises in 2025 once the bull run is in full swing.

Crypto Price Round Up: DAI’s New Look, Will Meme Coins Popcat And Cutoshi Post New ATH’s?

Cutoshi

With investors searching for the next crypto star, Popcat, Cutoshi and Dai are stepping up to the plate. But among them, Cutoshi stands out, bringing DeFi utility to the meme coin game and giving investors more than just hype. Popcat Prints Yet Another ATH Popcat has been causing quite a stir, recently reaching a new ATH price of $2 this month. With a market cap now over $1.4 billion, POPCAT’s rise has been nothing short of electric. Popcat’s weekly price has held between $1.35 and $1.79 and if it can keep its position above key EMAs, the bullish momentum could just keep going. For fans and traders alike, POPCAT’s position at these levels means it’s still in the game, potentially setting up for another leg up. Sky’s Rebrand And Dai’s New Look In a major DeFi revamp, Maker Protocol has rebranded as Sky, aiming to make decentralized finance accessible and easy to navigate for everyone. And with this rebrand, the iconic Dai stablecoin has morphed into USDS, stepping up to take on the big players like Tether. Even Maker’s MKR token has a new identity: it’s now known as Sky (SKY). While Dai has held steady with a strong market cap above $5 billion, its price sits at $0.99, below its $1.22 all-time high. But USDS has gained some serious momentum, racking up $490 million in market cap in just five days. With this fresh rebrand, Sky’s USDS shows it’s here to win, taking its place among DeFi heavyweights. Cutoshi’s MemeFi Token Disrupts The Rallying Meme Coin Market While we are all familiar with the likes of Popcat, Cutoshi is an entirely new take on what a meme coin can be. With presale hype building, Cutoshi is gathering steam fast and with good reason: it’s a project tackling some real issues in crypto trading, such as security, privacy and that smooth experience people crave across exchanges. With Cutoshi’s non-custodial multi-chain DEX, you can now say goodbye to the hassle of jumping between blockchains; everything flows together, saving you time and keeping your assets safe. Cutoshi brings in community rewards through its proprietary farming system, where members earn for diving into community quests and activities. It’s a fun way to stay involved and see tangible rewards for engagement, creating a true sense of community. Plus, for anyone who wants to learn more about DeFi, Cutoshi’s got an educational platform. The CUTO Academy aims to become a full-on crash course designed to simplify DeFi and make it accessible to the man on the street. Cutoshi embodies DeFi values, such as freedom, anonymity, privacy and financial empowerment as it’s inspired by the wisdom of Satoshi Nakamoto. At the same time, Cutoshi also represents luck and prosperity through its mascot, the Chinese Lucky Cat, a timeless symbol of wealth in many homes, bringing it now to the world of blockchain. Now in presale stage three, CUTO is priced at $0.0259 and with its CoinMarketCap listing, limited supply and the buzz building up, Cutoshi is going viral.

Caregivers are the Heroes Among Us: Recognizing the Essential Role of Caregivers

YourUpdateTV

As our population ages, family health dynamics change, and healthcare complexities grow, the need for caregivers has never been greater. Yet, they often navigate their journeys in silence. In recognition of National Caregiver Month, Marvell Adams Jr., CEO of Caregiver Action Network, joined by caregiver Judy Krieg—who has cared for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease— conducted a satellite media tour sponsored by Lundbeck and in conjunction with D S Simon Media. Together, Judy and Marvell shared insights on the caregiver journey and highlighted the " I Care " campaign, which celebrates the resilience and dedication of these remarkable individuals. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/pa5cw0kC55A In the U.S., more than half of those providing care don’t recognize themselves as caregivers. As a result, many do not access the tools that can alleviate caregiving stress. That’s why it’s important to help individuals identify themselves as caregivers and connect them with resources that can help make a difference. This year, during 2024 National Family Caregivers Month, Caregiver Action Network highlights the importance of self-recognition and self-identifying as a caregiver - key factors in caregivers’ access to essential support. Identifying as a caregiver opens the door to the family caregiver support needed throughout their journey. During this month, Caregiver Action Network also focuses on empowering caregivers and reminding them they are not alone in this journey. With the proper support and tools, one can continue to provide care while taking care of themselves. As Judy shares, she wishes she knew she wasn’t alone in the caregiver journey and had known more about symptoms of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s dementia. Resources to Share During 2024 National Family Caregivers Month There are many free resources available through the Caregiver Action Network to help those providing care navigate their caregiving journey: • Caregiver Help Desk – Access free, personalized support for your caregiving challenges. • 10 Tips for Family Caregivers – Learn practical strategies for managing caregiving stress. • Take Care of Your Mental Health – Use a free depression screener from the Caregiver Action Network to monitor your emotional well-being. • Connect with Other Family Caregivers – Join the Caregiver Action Network Community to share experiences and receive support. • Share Your Caregiver Story – Inspire others by sharing your caregiving journey. • Take Advantage of Resources from the I Care… Nonprofit Partners For more information, visit www.CaregiverAction.org ### BIO: Marvell Adams Marvell Adams Jr. is a highly skilled advocate, educator, and leader.

After a nationwide search, the Board of Directors unanimously appointed Marvell as CEO of Caregiver Action Network. Marvell has shown dedication to serving caregivers since high school. He became fascinated with Alzheimer’s disease while completing a biology report. He pursued his education at the College of Charleston, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Marvell later obtained a Master of Healthcare Administration specializing in Aging Services from the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. BIO: Judy Krieg Judy Krieg lives in Jackson, Michigan and assumed the role of caregiver for her parents when they began showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (Mother) and Vascular Dementia (Father). Caring for two parents at once was physically and emotionally challenging. She became their Power of Attorney, attended medical appointments, moved them to assisted care and made them comfortable until they passed in 2020 and 2021. Judy’s mother displayed several agitation symptoms, including irritability, swearing, resisting help, and hoarding, and in addition she threatened suicide - making caregiving especially difficult. Despite an extensive career in pharmaceutical sales, focused on neuroscience, there was still a lot she didn’t know about being a caregiver. Judy is now a cheerleader and advocate for others who may be caring for a loved one and need support like she did.

Current Client Wins “Best in Show” at the XYPN LIVE AdviceTech Competition

XY Planning Network

XY Planning Network (XYPN), the nation’s leading support platform for independent, fee-only financial planners, recently announced the winners of its annual XYPN LIVE AdviceTech Competition, marking the first time in nine years that organizers expanded the competition’s scope to include any technology supporting Financial “Advicers” in serving clients, running more efficient and profitable practices, or growing their reach. Of the six finalists, the expert panel of judges selected Current Client, a compliant texting solution for advisors, as the “Best in Show” winner. Audience members selected Quivr CRM, a Salesforce overlay for comprehensive financial planners, as its “Advicer’s Choice.” Winners were named at last month’s XYPN LIVE conference, where the six finalists delivered seven-minute, pitch-style presentations. The expert panel of judges included XYPN Chairman Michael Kitces; Craig Iskowitz, founder and CEO of Ezra Group; Justin Wisz, founder and investor of Thicket Ventures; and Rachel Witkowski, former Tech/AI reporter at Financial Planning. The judges selected the winner based on a blind voting process. “XYPN has been at the forefront of fee-for-service planning since we were founded 10 years ago,” Kitces said. “We knew that supporting new business models in financial planning to serve new clientele meant also supporting new technology that didn’t yet exist in the industry. We founded our AdviceTech competition specifically to help create a space for new up-and-coming tech vendors to get seen and noticed by our XYPN membership for the AdviceTech they’re building.” Having recently marked its 10-year anniversary, XYPN is committed to finding new ways to support financial planners, and highlighting innovative technology companies is an important component of that goal. Since the competition’s inception, nearly 150 companies have applied for an opportunity to debut their tech solutions at XYPN LIVE. To qualify for the competition, contestants needed to meet one or more of the following criteria: launched in the past 12 months, have less than $1 million in revenue or be an existing company with a new offering that is substantively different from its existing solutions and independently priced. Over the past eight years, prior winners have grown far beyond the startup phase, becoming category leaders. Previous “Best in Show” winners include Snappy Kraken, Vestwell, Holistiplan and Income Lab. In addition to Current Client and Quivr CRM, the four finalists were FinMate AI, an AI notetaker designed by financial advisors for financial advisors; Trayecto, a financial planning platform designed to address how modern workers earn and allocate money; JumpAI, a fully compliant and secure AI notetaker and task manager; and Testimonial iQ, which unlocks previously inaccessible marketing tools for financial advisors, including gathering and sharing critical third-party validation. The AdviceTech ”Best in Show” winner received a package of prizes, including a free exhibition at XYPN LIVE 2025, coaching calls with competition judges, bragging rights, and promotion within various XYPN marketing channels.

After February IPO, Functional Fashion Firm Perfect Moment Targets Growth And Expansion In Ski Wear And Other Categories, Launches First U.S. Distribution Center

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga From Deer Valley’s slopes to Saint Mortiz's chalets, skiing skills aren’t the only thing on display. So is high fashion as ski enthusiasts strut their stuff in luxury jackets, pants, knitwear and accessories. It's not just fashion for the sake of fashion – advancements in fabric technology are improving the comfort and functionality of ski wear, driving demand in a market that’s forecast to be over $2 billion by 2032. Perfect Moment Ltd. (AMEX: PMNT), the luxury skiwear and lifestyle brand, aims to meet that demand with its line of jackets, pants, suits and apparel. The heritage luxury brand, which has been outfitting skiers and swimmers for decades, went public on the New York Stock Exchange in February, raising $8 million in gross proceeds. The Perfect Moment brand was created in 1984 by Thierry Donard, the professional skier and extreme sports filmmaker, who began making apparel for his team of free-ride skiers and surfers. The company shares that the designs stood out for their quality, style and performance, helping his athletes achieve what he called a perfect skin run, wave ride or otherwise that perfect moment. The designs were known for combining high-end performance with daring, bold prints and colors. Even today, the brand draws on its decades-long commitment to using performance garments and statement designs in its ski, swim and lifestyle outerwear and apparel. The company says its retro-inspired prints and bold color palettes complement technical fabrics to deliver fashion, form and function for women, men and children. Expansion To Fuel Growth Perfect Moments' roots are in performance ski wear, but the company is expanding into new categories and markets, which it says should fuel its growth in the years to come. Take its line of apparel and accessories designed for customers off the slopes. Its lifestyle brand includes sweaters, pants and jackets, while its accessories include hats, gloves, scarfs, bags and ski goggles. Even in the ski category Perfect Moments is expanding, launching lighter jackets designed to extend the ski season. The company is also forging new partnerships to build brand awareness in the U.S. and beyond. Take its recent deal with Johnnie Walker, the scotch whiskey distiller, for starters. The two teamed up to launch a limited-edition Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet. Unveiled by Johnnie Walker Blue Label ambassador and Perfect Moment shareholder actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, the new blend comes with a bottle and bag designed by Perfect Moment and inspired by the so-called Blue Hour when skiing is done and socializing commences. Perfect Moment also launched a capsule ski wear collection for both women and men, featuring coordinating designs, which have been inspired by the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet design. Previously the company also collaborated with the high-fashion brand, Hugo Boss. Over the years, the two teamed up to launch a line of softshell ski jackets and pants in Perfect Moment’s hallmark flared cut and insulating all-in-ones. The last capsule featured designs that can be worn beyond the slopes, such as turtleneck slogan sweaters, knit hoodies and thermal tops. Coordinating accessories from gloves and beanies to bags and eyewear round out the collaboration. Perfect Moment also collaborates with SoHo House, the international private members club, hosting ski days and winter markets that get the word out about its brand. Expanding Retail And Distribution Presence Key partnerships aren’t the only way Perfect Moment seeks to capitalize on the growth of ski wear and winter apparel. With estimates compiled by Perfect Moment forecasting the luxury outerwear market to reach $23.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7%, it is expanding its retail and distribution presence in the U.S. In early October, Perfect Moment opened its first U.S.-based warehouse and distribution center in Dallas, Texas. Operated in partnership with Quiet Platforms, a provider of strategically located fulfillment centers and last-mile delivery solutions, Perfect Moment said the facility has been designed to better facilitate and optimize the company’s order fulfillment and distribution across North America. With it, Perfect Moment said customers will have access to new shipping options, including two-day and overnight delivery, which was not previously practical from the company’s global center in the U.K. The company said the warehouse should contribute to an overall margin improvemen t for fiscal year 2025 ending in March. Perfect Moment also recently opened its first seasonal store in New York City’s famed SoHo district, highlighting its Autumn/Winter 2024 (AW24) collection along with a number of new styles. The AW24 collection, which comprises four collection stories and launched in October, fuses performance materials with its signature style and includes the company’s best-selling styles, such as its Aurora ski pants and Polar Flare jacket, and several new styles. The company said the seasonal store provides an opportunity for it to explore more permanent retail locations. Currently, Perfect Moment’s lines of outerwear and apparel are featured in high-end department stores and online. Skiing is more than a sport; for many it's a fashion opportunity both on the slopes and in the lodges. Perfect Moment has been capturing that for years and now as a newly publicly traded company, is in expansion mode, bringing its luxury and accessible brand to more consumers via its retail store in New York City and its partnerships with well-known brands.

The New Economy: What Does Bitcoin’s Meteoric Rise Bode? Crossroads Summit 2024, Just Days Away, Offers Insight From Industry Leaders And Experts

Benzinga

By James Blacker, Benzinga The 2024 Crossroads Summit is just a few days away – get your tickets for this future-focused event by clicking here! Nearly 16 years have passed since the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto mined Bitcoin’s genesis block on Jan. 3, 2009, launching what would become the largest and most popular cryptocurrency. Originally conceived as a decentralized alternative to traditional currencies, Bitcoin has undergone rapid growth and become a significant store of value, substantially altering the financial landscape. With Bitcoin soaring to new heights in November, the upcoming Crossroads Summit brings together experts in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space to discuss the future of Bitcoin and the rise of alternative hard assets. Experts Weigh In On The Future Of Digital Assets Bitcoin hit an all-time high of slightly over $90,000 on Nov. 12, following a 35% surge sparked by President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory a week earlier. Trump’s White House return is considered bullish for the cryptocurrency industry, with the president-elect having indicated that he will implement favorable regulations. Cryptocurrencies have staged a remarkable recovery in the last two years. Bitcoin fell close to $15,000 in November 2022 after the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and the demise of its founder and CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, with far-reaching consequences for the cryptocurrency industry. With Bitcoin now trading at record levels, many analysts are projecting that it could hit $100,000 before the end of the year. Among them, is Chris Sullivan, co-founder and portfolio manager of Hyperion Decimus and one of the speakers at this month’s Crossroads Summit, to be held on Nov. 21 and 22 in Miami, Florida. Sullivan and other cryptocurrency experts will be speaking at a panel discussion on the second day of the conference titled “The New Economy: Bitcoin and the Rise of Alternative Hard Assets.” A recognized expert in cryptocurrency investments and fintech, Sullivan’s fascination with cryptocurrency's decentralization possibilities compelled him to found Hyperion Decimus, a quant-driven diversified digital asset management firm with a mission to bring digital assets to the masses. Through its Libertas Fund, Hyperion Decimus trades over $1 billion a month in cryptocurrency and, according to Sullivan, has significantly outperformed the individual digital assets it trades. Sullivan sees Bitcoin reaching $225,000 in the long term due to a confluence of factors, including a global surge of interest once it passes the $100,000 mark and a potential shift toward commodities and digital assets. Growing Institutional Interest In Digital Assets Once often viewed with skepticism and associated with illicit activities, digital currencies are increasingly being adopted by big banks and institutions thanks to the adoption of regulatory frameworks and high-profile endorsements. In June 2023, Blackrock and Fidelity filed SEC applications for Bitcoin spot ETPs, which were eventually approved in January 2024, along with other funds. Now there are some 36 Bitcoin ETPs traded on the U.S. markets. Major financial institutions such as JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) and PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) have also started offering Bitcoin services, while Visa (NYSE: V) and Mastercard (NYSE: MA) have made progress in enabling cryptocurrency payments, helping to close the gap between cryptocurrencies and traditional finance. Amid this backdrop in the institutional landscape, another key speaker at the Crossroads Summit will be Eduardo Abreu, New Business vice president at Visa. Abreu, who also has prior experience as a business development director at Mastercard, is likely to bring valuable insights into the role of Visa and Mastercard in the new digital economy and how large financial institutions are navigating the change. Traditional Finance Meets Emerging Technologies Joining Chris Sullivan and Eduardo Abreu at the Crossroads Summit are two seasoned professionals from the finance and technology sectors – John Divine and Maja Vujinovic.
