MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor Will Not Sell Any Bitcoin (BTC); KangaMoon (KANG) and Solana (SOL) Continue Skyrocketing

Kangamoon

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, reaffirms his commitment to Bitcoin (BTC) and chooses to hold onto his crypto instead of selling it. While that’s happening, KangaMoon (KANG), now in Stage 2 of its presale, has soared by 50%. Some analysts even hint it may become the next 100x meme coin in 2024. Not only that, Solana (SOL) is now riding a bullish wave. Michael Saylor To Buy Bitcoin (BTC) Forever In a recent Bloomberg interview, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor announced that he would never sell his Bitcoin (BTC) holdings. He also stated that Bitcoin is far superior to real estate and gold. This bullish Bitcoin news may trigger further growth for this crypto. The BTC value movement has jumped from $40,710 to $51,330 in the past month alone. Its market cap increased from $800B to $1T in that period. Sentiment for Bitcoin is also bullish, as 26 technical indicators are green. Thus, experts predict a pump to $71,565 within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): May Become One of the Meme Coin Titans KangaMoon (KANG) has a fresh approach to meme coins. Unlike most, KANG will have actual utility in the KangaMoon play-to-earn (P2E) game. This unique meme coin is currently in Stage 2 of its presale, rewarding early buyers with a 50% ROI. KangaMoon also incorporates social-fi elements that other meme coins don’t have into its ecosystem. Users can bet on matches, watch others at it, and more. KANG token holders also gain access to weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges. These challenges reward you with tokens and in-game items you can sell on the KangaMoon marketplace. Those looking to begin earning this innovative meme coin may now do so by becoming a KANG token holder and spreading the word about it on social media. Currently, one KANG token costs just $0.0075. Experts predict a 1,000% surge when a Tier-1 CEX lists it in Q2 of 2024. If interested, sign up for this presale below and obtain a 15% bonus on all purchases. Chris Burniske Remains Bullish for the Solana Price Meanwhile, former Ark Invest analyst Chris Burniske made a bullish Solana price prediction. According to him, the Solana price may hit $750 soon. In terms of its value movement, it has jumped from $87 to $103 in the past month alone. Its market cap rose from $38B to $45B during that time. Technical analysis suggests that this altcoin may go on with the current upward trend. For instance, 19 technical indicators are flashing green for the Solana coin. Therefore, experts predict that SOL will trade at $147 within Q2 of 2024. Bitcoin vs. KangaMoon vs. Solana - Which One Surges First? Currently, KangaMoon has a market cap of $7.5M. This will let it grow faster than popular coins like Bitcoin and Solana for now. KangaMoon doesn’t need new funds coming in as often as its counterparts to get that big push and reach its goals. As a result, KANG looks to be one of the best new meme coins. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!

BridgeFT Named Winner in the Data Aggregation Category in the U.S at the Annual WealthBriefing Americas Awards 2024

BridgeFT

BridgeFT, a cloud-native, API-first wealth infrastructure software company that enables financial institutions, fintech innovators, and registered investment advisors (RIAs) to deliver better, data-driven outcomes for their clients, announced today that it has been awarded the Data Aggregation award at the Annual WealthBriefing WealthTech Americas Awards 2024. The annual WealthBriefing WealthTech Americas Awards program recognizes the most innovative and exceptional firms, teams and individuals. The awards have been designed to showcase outstanding organizations grouped by specialism and geography which the prestigious panel of independent judges deemed to have “demonstrated innovation and excellence during the last year.” “We are thrilled and honored that the reach and impact of our WealthTech API has been recognized with this prestigious award,” said Joe Stensland, Chief Executive Officer of BridgeFT. “This is a credit to our whole team and to the many partners and clients who have chosen us to help power their own wealthtech innovations.” BridgeFT’s WealthTech API is the industry’s first WealthTech-as-a-Service platform, offering a single, open API to trade-ready, multi-custodial data, advanced analytics, and application services. WealthTech API eliminates the need for individual data feeds from a range of custodians and back-office providers, enabling wealth management firms and wealthtech application providers to create differentiated, next-generation wealth management applications. Custodians hold a range of data that drives the investment ecosystem, from positions and balances to client holdings and trades. Each custodian has its own data policy, structure, and systems, forcing fintech companies and other financial institutions to build custom programs to ingest the data. This adds both development time and cost. By simplifying access to the underlying data, WealthTech API allows financial innovators to rethink and streamline their own tech stacks and create differentiated tools and solutions for their own clients using BridgeFT’s applications and developer-to-developer support. The WealthBriefing WealthTech Americas Awards are part of a global program run by WealthBriefing, and its sister publications WealthBriefingAsia and Family Wealth Report, encompassing all of the world’s major wealth management centers. Participants around the world recognise that winning awards is particularly important in these challenging times as it gives clients reassurance in the solidity and sustainability of the winner’s business and operating model. “Every winning entrant has been subjected to a rigorous and independent judging process and should be rightly proud of the success they have achieved this year,” said Stephen Harris, Chief Executive Officer of ClearView Financial Media and Publisher of WealthBriefing. “This year we have seen a marked increase in entrants and interest in all our global awards programs and the WealthBriefing WealthTech Americas Awards 2024 is no exception. These awards give organizations and individuals the opportunity to clarify their strategic thinking, have it independently validated, be recognized internally and externally and to celebrate in style with their peers.” About BridgeFT BridgeFT is a cloud-native, API-first WealthTech infrastructure platform that enables registered investment advisors (RIAs), financial institutions, and FinTech innovators to deliver better, data-driven outcomes for their clients.

Shiba Inu (SHIB): Shibarium Hits 3M Daily Transactions Meanwhile, Shiba Inu (SHIB) also made headlines. For instance, Shibariumscan shows that Shibarium has reached 3M daily transactions.

In the meme coin space, it’s leading with its Play-to-Earn (P2E) and Social-Fi elements. As an in-game currency for KangaMoon, KANG will be useful, in contrast to 99% of meme coins. At its core, KangaMoon will allow gamers to engage in battles and earn cryptocurrency. The project aims to introduce the play-to-earn concept in their games.

Optimism (OP) Surges After Official X Tweet, Tron (TRX) and Meme Moguls (MGLS) Remain the Top Cryptos To Watch

Meme Moguls

The cryptocurrency market has seen a lot of change recently. One specific change caught people’s attention: the recent developments of Optimism (OP). After an official X tweet, the project got much more interest and value. Tron (TRX) and Meme Moguls (MGLS) are also doing great. Many analysts hint that MGLS, now in Stage 5 of its presale, may become the next 100x meme coin in 2024. Let’s find out why. Optimism (OP): Official X Post Triggers a Rally Recently, Optimism (OP) has been making headlines. Notably, the official X account posted, “Optimism always wins.” After this post, interest in the Optimism crypto increased. In terms of this altcoin’s value movement, it has jumped from $3.65 to $3.99 in the past week alone. Its market cap grew from $3.49B to $3.81B during that time. Additionally, the technical analysis for Optimism paints a bullish picture, as 23 technical indicators are flashing green. Due to all this bullish Optimism news, experts in the crypto field predict that it may hit $5.09 within Q2 of 2024. Tron (TRX): TocketPocket Now Supports USDT Payment Meanwhile, Tron (TRX) has also shown some exciting developments. For instance, TocketPocket announced that those without Tron may now use USDT for payments. With this development, traders will pay any Tron Network fee with USDT and receive 20 TRX for future use. This Tron news may trigger a rally for this crypto. Regarding its value movement, Tron has surged from $0.12 to $0.13 in the past seven days. In that period, its market cap has increased from $11.03B to $12.12B. Thus, market analysts forecast a price of $0.18 for this altcoin within Q1 of 2024. Meme Moguls (MGLS): To Dominate the Meme Coin Market Meme Moguls (MGLS) is gaining momentum, particularly during its ongoing presale, which has raised close to $2.5M. The sudden interest in the project comes from how promising MGLS will be as a meme coin in the crypto market. Utility is scarce, but this project provides some real value. Its capability to perform two tasks simultaneously sets it apart from other meme coins. Acting as a governance token and an in-game currency for the upcoming Meme Moguls play-to-earn game (P2E). The team behind the project designed it precisely to remove the meme coin narrative that most investors are tired of hearing, offering actual utility. The Meme Moguls P2E game promises an immersive experience for players. Participants will delve into virtual stock trading experiences, gaining insights into wealth-building and investments. They may even stake the MGLS tokens or engage in the Moguls World - a metaverse experience connecting worldwide players. Currently priced at $0.0036 during Stage 5 of its presale, MGLS has already provided early buyers with a 90% ROI. With a Uniswap listing scheduled for Q1 2024, experts are optimistic about a potential 100x surge soon. The ongoing 30% deposit bonus during the presale further enhances the appeal for potential investors looking to capitalize on this promising meme coin. Will Meme Moguls Leave Optimism and Tron in the Dust? The low market cap of $10.8M positions Meme Moguls for accelerated growth compared to established players like Optimism and Tron. With the potential for faster surges in value due to reduced new fund requirements, Meme Moguls may dominate the meme coin space. Visit Meme Moguls Meme Moguls and all cryptocurrencies are subject to significant price fluctuations and volatility. Investing in or holding Meme Moguls tokens carries substantial risks, including the potential for total loss. Past performance should not be considered indicative of future results.

The Future Of Transportation? How Iteris (NASDAQ: ITI) Has Been Driving Innovation And Helping Set Standards In The Connected And Automated Vehicle Space

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) seem poised to revolutionize the future of transportation through massive improvements in safety, efficiency and sustainability. The technologies surrounding this innovation will enable vehicles to communicate with each other and with traffic infrastructure, offering a compelling vision of a future where traffic flows more smoothly, accidents are far less common and all road users, including pedestrians and bicyclists, are safer. And behind every great innovation and its successful deployment is a growing industry led by companies spearheading critical advancements to shape it into a reality. Iteris’s Role In CAV Technology Iteris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI) is an infrastructure management company advancing CAV technology to help create an interconnected system of smart roads that keeps transportation safer and more efficient. Iteris acts as the brain for these advanced frameworks, facilitating a more communicative transportation system and allowing entities like the Department of Transportation (USDOT) to manage roadways even better. One of Iteris's significant contributions to this potential transformation is a new technology called Vantage CV TM. This technology is like a smart assistant for intersections, helping to prevent accidents by allowing cars and the road to talk to each other through vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. It works by collecting information about traffic from Iteris's advanced traffic detection systems and then sending safety messages to vehicles on the road. This means drivers can get warnings about dangers like people walking in the street or cars that might run a red light. Not all vehicles are equipped with V2X capabilities, but certain vehicles can be quickly equipped with this technology – including school buses or maintenance trucks – to make them safer right away. As the technology advances, Iteris is hopeful of a world where all vehicles will eventually be capable of communicating with each other and the roads around them. Spearheading CAV Deployment In terms of deployment, Iteris is playing a crucial role in the advancement of CAV technology, significantly influencing the development of industry standards. Through its collaboration with the USDOT, Iteris has been instrumental in updating and enhancing the Architecture Reference for Cooperative and Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT). This work integrates connected vehicle technologies with existing intelligent operation guidelines within the ARC-IT framework, aiming to ensure these innovations adhere to regulatory standards. This effort not only supports the USDOT's research but also facilitates real-world application of CAV technologies through initiatives like the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program. ARC-IT also serves as an essential resource for envisioning a smarter, more integrated transportation system by offering a detailed roadmap for employing technology to improve travel safety, efficiency and sustainability. With over 150 service packages, ARC-IT provides a comprehensive guide for addressing real-life traffic challenges. All this put together clearly demonstrates Iteris's leadership in the CAV industry as well as its commitment to fostering transportation technology that is both innovative and accessible. The Future Of Transportation? It may sound like science fiction, but transportation is being transformed by technologies like vehicle-to-everything communication and self-driving cars. Artificial intelligence (AI) is also playing a critical role in this transition, enabling lightning-fast analysis and the interpretation of vast amounts of transportation data. Ultimately, these advancements should lead to a transportation system that's digital, data-driven and smarter. And with AI's ability to learn and adapt, it can enhance current systems for better traffic flow, safety and efficiency with ease – which will allow for proactive management while improving the safety of self-driving cars beyond today's vehicles. If nothing else, Iteris’s efforts in the CAV space, from its role in developing ARC-IT to its innovative solutions for traffic management and safety, underscore the company’s integral position in the transition toward and deployment of smarter, safer and more efficient transportation systems. As the industry moves forward and road network intelligence progresses, Iteris’s contributions are likely going to continue playing a vital role in the development and implementation of CAV technologies, contributing to the overall enhancement of road safety and efficiency and helping deliver a safer future.
