Capturing Steady Consumer Spending on Health Care with XLV

Select Sector SPDR

One pocket of sector investing that can be easily overlooked is the health care sector, which is typically at the top or near the top of consumer spending and increases year over year. This was amplified during the pandemic. But even post-pandemic, health care continues to be a driver of the U.S. economy and deserves a presence in a diversified portfolio, especially when considering our aging population and shifting demographics. Representing a large portion of the U.S. economy, the health care industry provides essential care, prescriptions, and services that many lives depend on. Given the increasing demand driven by an aging population, investing in this sector can offer substantial opportunities. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) offers access to this valuable part of the economy that touches all. XLV tracks health care stocks from within the S&P 500 Index, weighted by market cap. The ETF offers broad exposure to core companies in the U.S. health care industry. The fund’s top 10 holdings* represent over 50% of the fund. UnitedHealth Group is the largest holding at 9.38%, followed by Johnson & Johnson (8.66%), Eli Lilly (7.12%), Merck (5.38%), AbbVie (5.25%), Thermo Fisher Scientific (4.21%), Pfizer (4.05%), Abbott Labs (3.85%), Danaher (3.37%), and Bristol-Myers Squibb (2.60%). Oldest Health Care ETF on Market Launched in 1998, XLV is the oldest health care ETF in the segment and continues to be a go-to tool for advisors and investors. The ETF is used widely for strategic or tactical positions, depending on the portfolio and investor. With more than $40 billion in assets under management and a low expense ratio of 0.10%**, XLV is actively traded with millions of shares exchanged daily. Since XLV is cap-weighted and selects only from the S&P 500, it tilts heavily toward more stable mega-caps. This open-ended fund tracks the Health Care Select Sector Index. But what XLV really does is offer easy access to the top names in the industry, including pharmaceuticals, health care equipment and supplies, health care providers and services, biotechnology, life sciences tools and services, and health care technology industries. And packaged in the exchange-traded fund wrapper, XLV offers a diversified approach to investing in the health care sector. For exposure to the U.S. health care market and the consumer spending behind it, XLV opens the door for advisors and investors of all sizes.

BNB Chain Partners with PLANET on its Mission of Blockchain for Environmental Good

PLANET

Binance-created BNB Chain, one of the most popular blockchains in the crypto space, has announced its partnership with PLANET, the blockchain for good platform directing the power of celebrities, fandom, and technology towards a sustainable future as envisioned by the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). BNB Chain announced the partnership from its official Twitter/X account and sees PLANET become an ecosystem partner to the BNB Chain. While details of the partnership are being released bit by bit, insiders expect broad-based cooperation across PLANET's ecosystem of utilities. PLANET has announced celebrity-backed Real World Assets (RWAs) - rare collectibles that will be made available for sale to PLANET's global communities. These RWAs are an essential part of PLANET's roadmap of carving out a sustainable $100 million annual revenue protocol as it disrupts the $300 billion green tech industry, and it is expected they might be made available on the BNB Chain. PLANET is also releasing digital Mystery Boxes with random attributes - with some carrying these extremely collectible RWAs - presenting another possible area of collaboration. The partnership with BNB Chain builds on a slew of recent announcements from PLANET. The wave began on July 6th, 2023, when football superstar Lionel Messi tweeted an animated video stating that he was working on something. The 33-second video showed the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) footballer kicking away a can labeled pollution. Internet sleuths found an unexpected clue - what seems to be PLANET's logo and an invitation to Join the PLANET on a billboard in the background as Messi walks through a city. This led to speculation that Messi is one of the first celebrities PLANET is partnering with on environmental causes. The momentum continued when Messi's new football team, Inter Miami CF, shared the video from their official Twitter/X account on July 24th, 2023, which renewed excitement about the possibility that the team had joined PLANET's sustainability cause. The Certik-audited $PLANET token has recently been listed on the top-tier Centralized Exchange (CEX) Bybit. It is also listed on other popular exchanges like Gate.io, MEXC, BitMart, and Poloniex. Fair-launched on the Ethereum blockchain's Uniswap DEX on May 30th, 2023, $PLANET has bridged to the BNB Smart Chain and is available on Pancake Swap- where it has recently won a popular vote to be included in a Pancake Swap staking pool and farm. About PLANET PLANET is an ecosystem harnessing the power of the blockchain to address pressing social and sustainability challenges, paving the way for a more transparent and sustainable future. PLANET has unveiled its mission towards global good as outlined by 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These goals address pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges facing our world to promote sustainable development holistically. PLANET is using the power of celebrity and fandom to mobilize the world to address global challenges, with the world's biggest celebrities backing sustainability projects dear to them through the platform. PLANET wants to move the sustainability space from short-term funding to viable long-term revenue streams that can power campaigns for a better future.

InQubeta: A Top Crypto Project That Can Be A Unicorn Like Uniswap and Aave

InQubeta

The crypto landscape is experiencing a surge in growth and adoption, coming a long way from its inception. Digital assets like Uniswap and Aave have already attained “unicorn” status, with InQubeta tipped to join them. With InQubeta being a rising star with strong fundamentals that address industry challenges, the platform is poised to become a top crypto project. In this article, we will explore key factors that will make InQubeta a top crypto project and help it attain unicorn status. InQubeta (QUBE): Innovative project that blends blockchain technology with AI InQubeta is making incredible strides in the crypto landscape, which will propel it to popularity and adoption. After creating excitement in the crypto scene for its innovative fundamentals, which is a convergence between AI and blockchain technology, InQueta is gearing up to become a top crypto project. It aims to become the first crowdfunding platform for AI startups built on the blockchain. Similarly, it also intends to be a blockchain-based platform where AI enthusiasts can invest in promising AI startups. By leveraging blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, AI developers will be able to raise funds for their projects, and investors will own shares in lucrative AI projects through fractional investment. InQubeta’s exceptional tokenomics and the deflationary nature of its coin will contribute immensely to its future trajectory. The fact that the majority of the 1.5 billion tokens are allocated for public sales, marketing, and the reward pool demonstrates a commitment to the community and the ecosystem. 15% of the total supply allocated to the development team will be locked for 3 years to secure investment and dispel the fear of rugpulls. Furthermore, as a deflationary token, InQubeta will benefit from the scarcity effect caused by the token burn. There will be a burn tax that will remove 2% of all QUBE token sales as well as 1% of all purchases from circulation. Staking rewards and voting rights are other perks QUBE holders stand to gain. The tokens can be staked on the platform in exchange for rewards, which gives holders residual income. In addition, token holders will be able to vote on proposals regarding the future development of the platform. The presale is in stage 2, with a token at a price of $0.0098. According to industry experts, InQubeta will see 2,000% growth after its launch, in addition to a 4x increase during presales. Visit InQubeta Presale Uniswap (UNI): A hub for DeFi token trading Uniswap is a popular decentralized trading protocol in the crypto landscape and one of the leading tokens, ranking 24th by market cap. Uniswap has become a hub for the trading of decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens, thereby cementing Uniswap’s status as a leading DeFi protocol and token. After the launch of Uniswap in 2018, it has considerably grown in popularity thanks to the surge in token trading. With trading becoming an integral part of the crypto market, Uniswap will continue to have relevance. Aave (AAVE): A leading protocol for DeFi lending and borrowing Aave is a decentralized finance protocol and a pioneer in the DeFi space. The protocol enables enthusiasts to lend and borrow crypto from the created liquidity pools. There are benefits that come with using Aave’s platform, which include interest for lenders and a robust liquidity pool for borrowers. Aave (AAVE) holders enjoy discounted fees on the platform. Aave is also a governance token, which gives token holders a say in the future development of the protocol. Aave’s success in the DeFi sector makes it a unicorn not only in the DeFi sector but in the broader crypto sector. Conclusion The crypto market isn’t shy of innovative projects, with Uniswap and Aave trailblazing innovations in the DeFi sector. InQubeta is the latest addition for its strong fundamentals and incredible use cases, which cover AI fundraising and investment.
