Where Next For Uniswap (UNI) and Toncoin (TON)? Traders Eye KangaMoon (KANG) As the Top Meme Coin for High Returns

Kangamoon

Throughout most of 2023, Uniswap (UNI) experienced a bearish trend, but as the new year unfolds, the token broke free from this bearish zone and gained fresh momentum. Toncoin (TON), on the other hand, continues to grapple with volatility and bearish pressure. Meanwhile, in search of fresh opportunities, investors turn towards KangaMoon (KANG). With its focus on engaging a large community of meme coin enthusiasts through play-to-earn (P2E) games and other earning opportunities, KangaMoon is positioning itself among the top new meme coins to buy in 2024. Uniswap (UNI) Experiences a Price Spike After a Year-Long Bearish Market Despite enduring a bearish market for the majority of 2023, Uniswap (UNI) has recently shown strong positive momentum, with a remarkable 61.97% increase over the past year. What is particularly noteworthy is the sudden price spike witnessed in the previous week. The price spike propelled Uniswap token from its previous level below $7.48 to its current level well above $10. As a result, UNI token has gained an impressive 80.72% in the past month and a notable 42.48% in the past week. Currently, Uniswap is trading within a weekly price range of $7.06 to $12.62. With its current momentum, there is a strong possibility of UNI reaching new heights before the end of March. KangaMoon (KANG) Is Becoming One of the Top New Meme Coins To Buy KangaMoon (KANG) is making significant strides to tap into the billion-dollar blockchain gaming industry. Positioned as the next prominent contender in the meme coin market, KangaMoon aims to establish a platform where players can engage in various games and contests to win rewards and prizes.

Currently, each KangaMoon token is priced at a favorable rate of $0.0075, representing a 50% increase from an initial offering price of $0.005. Interestingly, this also implies that early investors have locked in a 50% return on their investment. Fundamentally, the native KANG token functions as the primary currency used for transactions within the KangaMoon ecosystem. Notably, this ecosystem combines social networking, blockchain games, and decentralized finance (DeFi).

Toncoin (TON) Struggles to Hold Strongly Above Support Threshold Toncoin (TON), one of the top crypto coins in terms of market capitalization, has experienced recent losses, declining by 4.31% over the past week. The cryptocurrency, formerly known as Toncoin, has undergone a rebranding and is now called "The Open Network." Despite these developments, Toncoin's price has not shown any significant price surges. While it has achieved a modest 5.98% gain over the past month, Toncoin is down by 10.89% compared to the same time last year. Currently, it maintains a weekly price range of $2.05 to $2.23, with the potential for a wider range before the end of the month.

Metis Announces Major New Collaborations Advancing Self-Sustainability

Metis

Ethereum Layer-2 roll-up platform Metis is excited to announce major collaborations with Chainlink Labs, EigenLayer, Renzo, Ethena, and DeFi Kingdoms. These collaborations will make Metis even stronger and more accessible—a superfluid self-sustaining blockchain—by enabling better user experiences and deeper liquidity. Many Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) networks offer low transaction costs and decent user experiences. But for long-term viability, an L2 also needs to be self-sustaining with deep liquidity. Metis already has the lowest transaction fees among its peers and will soon be the first Ethereum L2 with a decentralized sequencer, removing a centralized point of failure and protecting Metis’s future. As a part of these new developments, the Metis bridge interface will be upgraded to leverage Chainlink CCIP as the official cross-chain infrastructure to power the canonical Metis token bridge, with an initial focus on bridging leading stablecoins from Ethereum mainnet onto the Metis network. Over time, additional blockchain networks and tokens are expected to be supported to further accelerate the growth of the Metis ecosystem. Additional information on the migration will be provided in the near future. Over the next couple of months, EigenLayer will integrate Metis, creating a new liquid-restaking layer to the Metis ecosystem and dramatically boosting the network’s liquidity. Native and cross-chain restaking on Metis will come first, followed by dual restaking with $METIS, the Metis network token. Eigenlayer will also allow users to use $METIS to pay for EigenDA, EigenLayer’s hyperscale data-availability layer, with additional functionality for future actively validated services (AVSes) and roll-up services coming in mid-2024. Metis’s partnership with Renzo will bring native ETH restaking. Using Connext’s Restake from Anywhere module, users will be able to deposit Metis-native ETH into Renzo for ezETH without worrying about bridging and restaking manually. This will unlock easier access to DeFi within the Metis ecosystem. Ethena will also contribute a key component to Metis's new liquidity layer: the yield-bearing stablecoin USDe. Protected by LayerZero's security, USDe allows users to deposit traditional fiat, ETH, or liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and earn yield while minimizing risk through delta-neutral hedging. Bridging USDe from multiple blockchains to Metis will give users flexible investment options and nicely complement Metis's recent Liquid Staking Blitz. Ethena users can also bridge their USDe to Metis from multiple chains, all powered and secured by LayerZero. Lastly, after two years of development, DeFi Kingdoms (DFK) will deploy a new, eagerly awaited combat mode of their game on Metis, introducing player-versus-player (PvP) battles and tournaments in the Colosseum. At launch, this feature will live exclusively on Metis. On Avalanche, DFK generated up to $130 million daily at its peak, so the new game mode has significant potential to bring players and transaction volume to the Metis blockchain. Together, these five developments will give users compelling new reasons to choose the Metis ecosystem while eliminating more of the pain points associated with L2 networks. With new value propositions and substantial new incoming liquidity building on a successful foundation of low fees and increasing decentralization, Metis is well-positioned to be a superfluid, self-sustaining blockchain. About Metis Metis is an EVM-equivalent Ethereum Layer-2 protocol focused on bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3. Metis provides users with a secure, decentralized, scalable, and easy-to-use network. Contact Details Colin Landers colin@energentmedia.com Company Website https://www.metis.io/

AdvicePay and eMoney Streamline Workflow to Get Paid for Financial Planning with Integrations

AdvicePay

AdvicePay, the leading platform for processing payments and overseeing compliance of fee-for-service financial planning so advisors can get paid for their advice, announced today that it has launched new integrations with eMoney Advisor, a leading provider of technology solutions that helps people talk about money, that will offer efficiencies for joint customers navigating between the two platforms. With the integration, advisors can eliminate redundant tasks like logging in or creating client profiles in each platform. Advisors will also be able to send AdvicePay-generated documents, such as planning agreements or invoices, directly to their client’s eMoney vault, centralizing all important information related to their engagement with the advisor. “As more and more financial advisors charge standalone fees for their financial planning services, existing AUM-based workflows for billing from portfolio management systems may not work anymore. Instead, as financial planning becomes the central value proposition, financial planning software like eMoney becomes the central hub for clients… and so it’s only natural that financial planning fee billing capabilities become more deeply integrated to financial planning software,” said AdvicePay co-founder Michael Kitces. “We view the eMoney partnership as a unique opportunity to join forces with another leader in this space. Together, we are building an entire fee-for-service planning ecosystem to help advisors capitalize on the growing demand from consumers to be able to simply pay one-time or ongoing subscription fees for the advice relationship they want.” For AdvicePay and eMoney, the integration creates a natural synergy. The idea for the integration originated with AdvicePay clients, who expressed interest in having a tie-in between the two systems and will be available to all eMoney advisors looking to begin charging financial planning fees (or to expedite their billing workflows if they already charge for financial plans.) “We look forward to helping advisors simplify and streamline their workflow so they can more easily get paid fees for their value and spend their time doing what matters most: working with their clients to plan for the future,” said Ricky Illigasch, VP, Product Management at eMoney Advisor. In November, AdvicePay announced that it had completed its one-millionth transaction since its launch in 2018. Over the past two years, AdvicePay has experienced a 102% increase in advisors added to the platform and a 193% growth in transaction volume. In 2023, for the second straight year, AdvicePay was named one of America’s fastest-growing private companies on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list. To learn more about the AdvicePay platform, log onto www.AdvicePay.com. About AdvicePay Established by well-known financial advisors Michael Kitces and Alan Moore, AdvicePay is the industry-leading billing and payment workflow solution created specifically for fee-for-service financial planning.

Silence Laboratories Raises $4.1M Funding to Enable Privacy Preserving Collaborative Computing

Silence Laboratories

In the modern age, large companies are wrestling to leverage their customers’ data to provide ever-better AI-enhanced experiences but a key barrier to leveraging this opportunity is mounting public concern around data privacy, as ever-greater data processing poses risks of data leaks by hackers and malicious insiders. Silence Laboratories is on a mission to create infrastructure to enable complex data collaborations between enterprises and entities, without any sensitive information being exposed to the other engaging parties. Silence Laboratories today announces it has raised an additional $4.1 million funding round led by Pi Ventures and Kira Studio, along with several prominent angel investors. Leveraging modern cryptography, the company already has one of the fastest distributed signature (authorization) libraries in production ( Silent Shard ), which has been audited by some of the best security auditing companies like Trail of Bits. These libraries have led to the establishment of strong partnerships with leading digital asset infrastructure and protocol companies like BitGo, MetaMask, EigenLayer, Biconomy, and EasyCrypto. Products on offer by the company include Silent Shard which allows enterprises and users to limit the risk of exposing sensitive private keys and allows advanced authorisation rules to be put in place. Additionally, the newly launched Silent Compute product allows different organisations to collaborate on processing information without needing to expose their secrets and data to third parties and enrich insights while maintaining compliance and trust. Both the products uses multi-party computation (MPC) as its core cryptographic primitives. Commenting on the announcement, Silence Laboratories CEO and founder Dr. Jay Prakash said: “In today's digital ecosystem, trust, and privacy are not merely options but imperatives for sustainable growth. With this new injection of funds, Silence Laboratories is poised to redefine privacy by enabling businesses to fully embrace the power of AI while rigorously protecting their most vital asset – customer trust. Our privacy-enhancing technologies assure that collaboration and innovation can flourish in an environment where the confidentiality and integrity of data are uncompromised.” With the market for privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) growing globally at a compound annual growth rate of 26.6%, there is growing demand for Silence Laboratories offering to provide mathematical guarantees for techno-legal expectations. This would allow companies to work together on processing data, without needing to share data with the other party - allowing more sectors to benefit from new technology, with less risk. Shubham Sandeep, Managing Director Pi Ventures, commented: "Secure data collaboration to enable privacy preserving compute is an ever growing problem especially in highly regulated domains such as finance and healthcare. This requires solutions based on zero trust cryptographic guarantees instead of relying on third party data vendors who are prone to security breaches. The MPC infrastructure developed by the world class team at Silence Laboratories is the fastest in the world, easily configurable, application agnostic and provides full control to the user. We are excited to double down on our investment as we have seen the fantastic progress of the company over the last 18 months." The funding will be used to scale the company’s tech & business teams and enrich the company’s robust R&D pipeline. Founded in 2021 by Dr. Jay Prakash (CEO), Dr. Andrei Bytes (CTO) and Dr. Tony Quek; the firm has also recently been expanding its global leadership team across cryptography, infrastructure business and engineering. “The Silence team is an amazing team with deep cryptography expertise and is working on a set of groundbreaking products in privacy and authentication infrastructure and I am really excited to support their journey. Privacy-preserving infrastructure combined with blockchain and fintech rails is going to be huge!” shared Anurag Arjun, from Kira Studio and Ex Co-founder of Polygon. About Silence Laboratories Started in 2021 by Dr. Jay Prakash (CEO) and Dr. Andrei Bytes (CTO), Silence Laboratories is a privacy tech company that enables enterprises to adopt privacy-enhancing technologies through a unique fusion of cryptography and security engineering. Their mission is to enable a global privacy-compliant collaboration infrastructure that would enable enterprises to collaborate, and exchange inferences while removing all single points of failure. The company has been founded by a strong technical and business team including PhDs and researchers with previous affiliations at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA; Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD) & National University of Singapore (NUS); University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), globally top-ranked Capture The Flag (CTF) teams, and leading tech companies.

OLB Group is Making Omnicommerce and Wireless Plans Accessible to the Underbanked and Revolutionizing Payments for Businesses

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Omnicommerce is an integrated "all-channel" retail approach that provides consistent, seamless and personalized customer experiences, ultimately leading to secure and frictionless payments. It encompasses meeting customers where they are, whether through physical stores, online platforms, social media or other digital spaces. By adopting an omnichannel strategy, businesses can create a unified brand presence and deliver a smooth consumer experience across multiple channels. As technology continues to advance and consumer expectations evolve, the omnicommerce industry will continue to grow and play a significant role in shaping the future of the retail industry. In 2022, the global market size of retail omnichannel commerce platforms was $8.1 billion, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.6% from 2022-2030. Businesses today are investing more in developing omnicommerce solutions, such as mobile websites, apps, personalized email marketing and social media integration. However, not all businesses have the technology to adopt this approach and have to look to third-party technology companies for help. That’s where companies like OLB Group (NASDAQ: OLB) come into play to make omnicommerce more accessible. OLB offers a comprehensive suite of products and services, catering to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger organizations. OLB's flagship product, OmniSoft, is a cloud-based e-commerce platform that enables businesses to easily establish an online presence, manage and track their sales and accept payments securely. In June 2023, OLB acquired a controlling interest in black011.com, which encompasses Black Wireless and Mango Mobile, and is beginning to contribute to revenues. These strategic moves enabled the company to offer one Point of Sales (POS) system to customers so they can purchase products and seamlessly reload mobile phone minutes.. OLB is in the process of rebranding these platforms and integrating them into the OLB Payment Platform and ECO Payment system. Ultimately, these acquisitions enable OLB to focus on the rapidly growing underbanked communities. As of 2022, a market study revealed that approximately 13% of American adults were underbanked, a new market that OLB has identified as underserved. Increased accessibility can dramatically help these communities and provide bodegas and convenience stores with a new service to their customers. In November, the company reported a wider-than-expected quarterly loss, but an often overlooked accounting technicality is that the loss was largely due to non-cash depreciation “expense”. However, to underscore the confidence in the company’s future, Chairman and CEO Ronny Yakov acquired a total of 784,212 shares and Vice President Patrick Smith purchased a total of 392,106 shares at an average price of $0.77. OLB also provides various payment processing solutions, such as point-of-sale systems, mobile payment applications and virtual wallets – allowing businesses to accept payments from customers through multiple channels. To date, the company has worked with 10,500 merchants worldwide and secured over 28.5 million transactions annually in over 130 different industries. OLB prides itself on being a comprehensive single solution with over 15 years of experience. The company runs on the SaaS model with pay-as-you-go options, making its platform more accessible to businesses of all sizes. With a modest market capitalization of around $13 million and an annual revenue run rate of over $30 million (one of the lowest Price to Sales ratios of 0.3 times sales vs. a peer average of 1 x sales), OLB Group may represent an opportunity for investors interested in participating in the broadening out of the payments industry to include more of the underbanked. The emergence of omnicommerce reflects the next evolution in e-commerce for both businesses and customers alike and the growing recognition of payments as a cornerstone in every customer journey. With the convenience and accessibility of online shopping, customers now expect a seamless and personalized shopping experience across various touchpoints. With a commitment to empowering businesses with efficient and secure payment solutions, OLB is establishing itself as a trusted provider in the payments industry.

Analyst Ali Martinez Makes a Bullish Pepe Price Prediction; Shiba Inu and KangaMoon Remain Top Meme Coins To Watch

Kangamoon

Meme coins are always causing hype in the DeFi sphere. This time, analyst Ali Martinez gave Pepe (PEPE) a thumbs up, and things got even more exciting. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu (SHIB) and KangaMoon (KANG) remain the top meme coins to watch. Some analysts hint that KANG (a Stage 6 presale star) may jump by 1,000% in 2024. Let’s discover why. Ali Martinez: The Pepe Price May Hit $0.00000274 Recently, crypto analyst Ali Martinez made some headlines with his Pepe (PEPE) price prediction. According to his tweet, this meme coin may surge to $0.00000274 soon. In terms of the Pepe price movement, it has jumped from $0.0000012 to $0.0000020 in the past week alone. Its market cap grew from $505M to $856M in that period. Meanwhile, there are now 23 technical indicators flashing green for the Pepe coin. Thus, experts remain bullish. They foresee the Pepe price reaching $0.000010 within Q2 of 2024. Shiba Inu (SHIB): SHIB Army Propose a SHIB ETF Meanwhile, there were some exciting Shiba Inu (SHIB) developments. For instance, the SHIB army made a new proposal on Change.org for a Shiba Inu ETF by Grayscale. This petition has already obtained close to 2,000 signatures. This Shiba Inu news may trigger a bullish run for this crypto. The Shiba Inu crypto has surged from $0.0000091 to $0.00001031 over the past 30 days. This meme coin’s market cap increased from $5.37B to $6B during that period. Furthermore, over 25 technical indicators are flashing green. As a result, analysts predict Shiba Inu will reach $0.000016 within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): Brings Innovation to the Meme Coin Space KangaMoon (KANG) is a game changer in the meme coin market. Standing out from its peers that often have no use, KangaMoon integrates Social Fi and play-to-earn (P2E) elements into one. Introducing a P2E game for KangaMoon makes it different, as it will let players use KANG tokens for character upgrades, in-game purchases, and more. This new utility sets KangaMoon as a strong competitor in this sector. You can spectate matches, bet with your KANG holdings, and unlock weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges. By completing these challenges, you earn extra in-game items and tokens, which can be sold on the KangaMoon marketplace. In Stage 2 of its presale, KANG has already raised nearly $150K, with each meme coin priced at just $0.0075. This marked up a staggering 50% from its starting price. These are amazing numbers that beat expectations by far. However, market analysts predict that once KANG hits exchanges in Q2 2024, it could see a 100x surge. Anyone may start earning KANG tokens before its official launch by buying one meme coin and spreading the word on social media. If interested, sign below for a 10% bonus on each purchase. Can KangaMoon Outpace Pepe and Shiba Inu? KangaMoon has a market cap of just $7.5M. With a lower valuation than competitors like Pepe and Shiba Inu, it will require fewer new funds to increase its price. As it faces off against these peers, KangaMoon’s potential for rapid growth rises significantly. Thus, KANG may be one of the top meme coins to invest in for fast returns.

By Jeremy Ruden, Benzinga A small startup headed by a former officer in Israel’s elite 8200 Military Intelligence cyber unit is silently protecting 500 million connected devices in more than seven million homes and businesses around the world. This is the age of the Internet of Things (IoT) with millions of smart devices connected by Wi-Fi. From garage doors to smartwatches, all have access to private Wi-Fi, and many were designed without any attention to security. Once hacked, they provide a gateway into home and business networks where cyber criminals can wreak havoc, stealing personal information and holding entire companies to ransom. “In the US, an average household has 22 connected devices,” says Sivan Rauscher, a former 8200 officer and Co-Founder and CEO of SAM Seamless Network, an Israeli startup at the forefront of securing millions of IoT devices on a global level. “We record an average of 16 attacks a day on every network.” https://youtu.be/x94vQ0CBQyY?si=XHO89NQBkNcWzbpF Fueled by the spread of 5G wireless technology, the growth of smart devices snowballed during the pandemic – and the numbers keep growing. By the end of 2024, experts expect there will be more than 17 billion IoT devices connected worldwide. These are not just tablets or smartphones but include everything from household heating systems to online factory machinery. Many of the smart devices will also be enhanced with artificial intelligence, capable of making autonomous decisions. With this increased connectivity come major security concerns. “When you have more connected devices in your perimeter, you’re opening more back doors into your data,” says Rauscher, a rare female CEO in the male-dominated world of cyber security. “It’s just like when you move into a larger house, there are more entry points for thieves. It’s the same with information – the more connectivity, the larger the threat of a breach.” SAM is currently raising a funding round via OurCrowd, the Jerusalem-based investment platform that allows accredited investors to access privately held startups. Prime Target While major corporations can look to giants like Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) and Check Point (NASDAQ: CHKP) for their cybersecurity needs, SAM targets small and medium-sized enterprises, which make up the vast majority of companies – including 99% of all businesses in Europe. Unlike large, security-conscious multinationals, most Wi-Fi networks in small businesses and home offices are unmanaged, unsecured and without an information officer, leaving them prey to hackers. “The fast adoption of 5G, combined with the proliferation of smart devices operating on unsupervised networks, can be catastrophic for millions of home and business users. Even with the implementation of basic security requirements on IoT devices, the threat of a silent invasion through them is very real,” says Rauscher. “SAM is the best and most cost-efficient defense to this threat and we’re proud that our solution, which is constantly adopting to the changing threat landscape, is being adopted by some of the world’s top providers.” SAM’s platform is securing networks provided by some of the largest telecommunication companies in the world. including Verizon (NYSE: VZ) in the U.S., Virgin Media in the U.K., Orange in Belgium, Bezeq in Israel and other major European providers. The company’s cloud-based software can work with any system and is deployed remotely, which means the customer doesn’t have to fiddle with complicated settings or pieces of hardware. SAM’s system works automatically through the user’s router or other onsite gateway – usually provided by an internet service provider or as an off-the-shelf product. Unrecognized Devices SAM has a special relationship with Verizon, which is both a client and an investor through its investment arm Verizon Ventures. Verizon and SAM also launched the Device ID platform, allowing users to monitor their home network for new or previously unrecognized devices. This allows customers to manage certain details of their devices, like customized naming conventions, allowing for better control of their home network and connected devices. This visibility also results in improved customer service and troubleshooting from the viewpoint of Verizon, which is truly able to “see” the connected home network. SAM has several key investors including BlackBerry, which co-led the Series B round with Verizon Ventures, Intel Capital, Night Dragon, Target Global, Ericsson, ADT Security Corporation and Blumberg Capital. OurCrowd is leading SAM’s Series C investment round, which is now funding. The company is constantly updating its security in response to new threats identified on the networks. “We employ a data-driven approach to identify emerging threats and attacks on these IoT devices, relying on data from millions of IoT devices across our networks,” says Rauscher. “We’re actively looking and researching vulnerabilities in IoT devices we believe pose a significant threat to our customers.” IoT regulation Western governments are aware of the security risks posed by IoT devices. “Malicious cyber actors may leverage your home network to gain access to personal, private, and confidential information,” the U.S. NSA warned in Best Practices for Securing Your Home Network, published in 2023. Last July, the U.S. government announced a national IoT security label that manufacturers and retailers can use to assure consumers that their smart connected IoT devices meet a certain level of cyber-safety. The EU is not making IoT security optional. This year, the European Commission imposed minimum requirements for the security of smart devices. Products not meeting the standards will be banned from the EU market. The UK has similar legislation due to take effect in April 2024. While such government programs don’t apply to IoT devices that are already in use today, they will create a more informed consumer and raise awareness among other parties in the ecosystem, such as retailers or ISPs, motivating them to take action.
