Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF Records Daily Inflow Of Over $8 Million

Cutoshi

Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record-breaking inflow of close to $1.4B on Thursday, according to Senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust collected more than $1.1B of this total. Other funds, including the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, also attracted a noticeable daily inflow exceeding $8M. The surge coincided with BTC hitting the $76,943 mark. Tron also recorded an unprecedented surge in its transfer volume, which increased by 1928% over the year, as per data from Symbiosis. Moreover, as the two crypto giants continue to record impressive milestones, a new DeFi hybrid known as Cutoshi has also stood out, raising over 730K in its presale, which is only in 3rd stage. Cutoshi Farming Continues To Attract Major Investors Due to its unique innovations, Cutoshi is quickly becoming a viral crypto project. The project is designed to bring utility and luck to its investors through its unique hybrid DeFi ecosystem. Moreover, Cutoshi farming, now live, aims to provide its community members with a new way of earning money by completing quests and being rewarded with CUTO tokens. Cutoshi also stands out due to its decentralized exchange, offering users a low-fee, high-speed asset training experience across blockchains. The project also focuses on educating investors through the Cutoshi Academy, which helps learners understand the basics of DeFi and cryptocurrency technology. Through this feature, new investors could educate themselves about DeFi and discover new approaches to building a profitable portfolio. With a stage three presale price of $0.0259, Cutoshi is already offering over 70% ROI to early buyers. Given the CUTO token's capped supply of just 440M, this price is also set to surge in the next presale, which could help drive immense demand for the token, leading to token scarcity and driving the Cutoshi price even higher. Bitcoin Price Hits $77K Two Days After U.S. Election The price of Bitcoin crossed the $77K mark on November 8, setting a new ATH for the second consecutive day. This latest price mark was set just two days after Donald Trump won the US presidential election, topped with the election of several pro-crypto policymakers to Congress. With a market cap of over $1.5T, BTC is now the world’s ninth most valuable asset, surpassing Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta. Bitcoin’s YTD growth has also surged by over 115% as the BTC price trades around the $76,600 mark. Over the past month, the price of Bitcoin has surged by over 26%, with seasonal trends and halving-year data suggesting bullish prospects. Moreover, Bitcoin has always hit new highs during the previous two election cycles without returning to pre-election levels. Supported by technical indicators and the recent daily inflows of Bitcoin ETFs, the price of BTC could hit the $100K target before the year ends, followed by $200K by 2025. Adding to this momentum, the US Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates by 0.25%, a rare cut that could contribute to Bitcoin’s bullish sentiment. Tron Dao Unveils Tron-Peg USD Coin For Cross-Chain Transactions On Blockchain Tron Dao has unveiled the Tron-Peg USD Coin within the TRX blockchain, a new cross-chain designed to streamline global transactions while expanding Tron’s stablecoin ecosystem. This launch will allow users to leverage USD Coin across the TRX network, enhancing cross-chain functionality for a seamless and secure transaction. Tron-Peg USD Coin will simplify USDC transfers within Ethereum and Tron, establishing itself as a stablecoin bridge. Moreover, qualified users can acquire the Tron-Peg USD Coin through a straightforward cross-chain process. This strategic launch comes when Tron’s price performance has recorded a weekly dip of over 3% to trade around the $0.16 mark. If Tron’s price manages to overcome the $0.16 position, it would be on a path for further gains towards $0.17. Its RSI is also at 47, which suggests that the asset is still in a neutral position. Its 50—and 100-day SMAs, which are at $0.1593 and $0.1526, provide significant support should the TRX price dip. Can Cutoshi Mirror BTC Price Performance In Q4? As Bitcoin continues to experience significant price performance, Cutoshi is also looking to push Ethereum-based meme coins back into the limelight. Due to the project's DeFi ecosystem and built-in utilities, its growing presale is set to record significant price performance in Q4.

Cutoshi Hits #1 Worldwide And In The USA – The Hype Behind $CUTO’s Explosive Growth

Cutoshi

Cutoshi, a memeFi project in presale, took X by storm yesterday as it went viral and took the number 1 trending spot worldwide and in the USA, for over 8 hours. This hype also spread worldwide, as $CUTO became the trending keyword for all countries. The term DeFi was also trending worldwide yesterday, showing that Cutoshi is proving itself to be one of the hottest decentralized crypto projects around. Meme Appeal Cutoshi is cute and catchy, bringing Lucky Cat energy to the blockchain and people’s digital assets. As crypto booms thanks to new all-time highs for Bitcoin, memecoins continue to dominate the market as the most profitable and engaged-with sector in crypto. And as of today, the meme coin market cap is at $105 billion according to CoinMarketCap, with a 24 hour trading volume of $60 billion. That shows us that a lot of people are trading memes right now. DOGE has been on a tear and has also been trending on X since the US elections, proving the enduring nature of important memecoins. MemeFi Hybrid Approach While DOGE has a first mover advantage as a memecoin, Cutoshi is new and in presale. There is another important difference between the two coins - utility. Dogecoin doesn’t have utility, or at least very little (it's accepted as payment in certain places, according to their website). Cutoshi, on the other hand, does. Cutoshi is currently building a cross-chain DEX to simplify swapping and trading on the blockchain, and a whole ecosystem revolving around the benefits of DeFi. The aim is to introduce people to DeFi and then help them to make the most out of it, and that’s why they are offering a learning academy to help people find out more in a fun way. $CUTO will be used throughout the ecosystem, ensuring that the token has true utility, which is essential for ensuring the price moves in the right direction. Fun And Community Is Key All good crypto projects have a loyal community. Decentralized exchanges like Uniswap and 1inch clearly have a loyal community. Cutoshi is currently engaging their growing community through quests and challenges such as meme-making. And because people love the fun of competition, they have built a leaderboard so that people can spur each other on. These quests accrue points, which will be swapped for $CUTO tokens, airdropped once the coin goes live. This ensures that all early community members are rewarded for their participation and can have more skin in the game. Over 1500 people have taken part in the quests within days of launch. Cutoshi Investors Are Early As anyone who’s taken a look at meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu knows, the ones who got in early profited the most, with DOGE up by an impressive 435,594% since its launch and SHIB up by an amazing 42,665,342%. Just $10 invested at this time in SHIB would have made a current holder over $4 million dollars! Although returns like this are exceptional, new coins are the way to get huge gains. Cutoshi is currently in presale phase; given the hype around it, it could be the next life-changing coin for wealth generation.

Blackrock Bitcoin ETF Sees Outflow After U.S. Election Results, Tron Integration Causes A Stir As Cutoshi Hits $800K Mark

Cutoshi

Blackrock Bitcoin ETF Sees Outflow After U.S. Election Results, Tron Integration Causes A Stir As Cutoshi Hits $800K Mark The US presidential election race is over, and the atmosphere in the crypto market is one of glee as the market warms up to the news of Donald Trump’s presidency. Bitcoin (BTC), as expected, was one of the first to hit new heights, and the rest of the market followed accordingly. But prior to all that spike in the BTC price, Bitcoin ETFs were on a streak of outflows. Even Tron (TRX) is yet to join the profit train, but Cutoshi (CUTO) is trending among traders. Despite Bitcoin Price Surge, Bitcoin ETFs Dip The US elections were supposed to be a boost to the Bitcoin ETFs, but unlike the Bitcoin price, they were on a dip in the run-up to the election. The iShares Bitcoin Trust led the losses at the start of the week, with $44.2 million in outflows even before election day. BlackRock and ten of the other ETFs posted $116.8 million outflows on election day, led by the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund. It was a rare occurrence for most of the ETFs, especially BlackRock stating only its sixth day of loss since its launch in January. Their fortunes changed with the election results, when the BTC price broke past its $75,000 resistance. The Bitcoin ETFs recorded over a billion dollars in inflows on election day, with BlackRock seeing injections up to $1.1 billion on that day. The next few days will be crucial as the market anticipates further surges in the BTC price. Tron Integrations See Chainlink Oracle Links And ETH-TRX Bridges Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun announced the introduction of Chainlink's oracle feeds to the Tron blockchain to increase security to its DApps, typically JustLend and JustStable. Both DeFi apps are worth about $6.5 billion on the network. Sun made the statement at the Chainlink SmartsCon event in Hong Kong, of which Tron (TRX) was a silver sponsor. The founder stated that the TRON crypto network was going to join in the Chainlink Scale Program, integrating the oracles to also provide developers with access to reliable oracle services, as well as opportunities for the stablecoins and RWAs locked on the blockchain. For the USDC on Tron (TRX), there are new bridges connecting the network with Ethereum through the TRON-Peg USD coin. The token facilitates smoother stablecoin transfer between both chains, contributing to the growing wave of interoperability that is taking over the DeFi space. The TRON price is currently trading at a weekly 3.59% loss, but the new development on the project could soon drive the TRON price into bullish trends. Cutoshi: Meme Coin Combined With DeFi Utilities Cutoshi’s origin is firmly rooted in meme and DeFi, sporting the lucky charm the Lucky Cat and blockchain principles from Bitcoin (BTC) creator Satoshi Nakamoto's teachings. The Decentralized Exchange platform is an avenue for users, especially the meme enthusiasts on the ecosystem, to access token swap and exchange services without leaving the interface. The traffic and insecurity of current exchanges makes Cutoshi's DEX a great alternatives option for traders. Another standout feature of the Cutoshi (CUTO) project will be its token farming. Users earn tokens by participating in challenges and completing tasks to accumulate points. These points can then be redeemed into CUTO tokens to boost investors' crypto portfolios. The token farming is already live, and more than 1500 users are already actively raking in rewards. The $CUTO token presale has raised over $800,000 so far. This traction doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down anytime soon. CUTO Attracts Massive Investors Inflow Bitcoin (BTC) and TRON (TRX) have experienced contrasting fates recently. The Bitcoin price is touching new highs, and TRX is still deep in bullish waters with TRON’s recent integration. The Cutoshi project is attracting investor interest with its presale and CUTO farming features that let users earn while having fun. The new meme coin could potentially deliver bigger gains than other top meme coins.

San Diego Foundation Launches National Rainbow College Fund in California

National Rainbow College Fund

Today, San Diego Foundation (SDF) launched the National Rainbow College Fund (NRCF) in California, the first scholarship designed to exclusively support LGBTQ+ students pursuing their ambitions for higher education regardless of the public nature of their sexual and gender identity. The National Rainbow College Fund is powered by San Diego Foundation, one of the largest community foundations in the U.S. and the largest provider of scholarships of any community foundation in California. The mission of the National Rainbow College Fund is to lessen the financial burden for young people who identify as LGBTQ+ or who are grappling with the secrecy of remaining in the closet. The groundbreaking fund addresses the unique challenges LGBTQ+ students face such as social acceptance, mental health issues and family rejection that can hinder their ability to afford college that in turn impacts long-term economic earning power. “Speaking from personal experience, I know that many young people struggle with the fear of being outed or coming out. It can be overwhelming. Like many young people, I did everything possible to hide who I was because I feared being kicked out of my home and my family, as well as being cut off financially and emotionally,” said Mark Stuart, President and CEO of San Diego Foundation. “Every LGBTQ+ person should have the means to realize their educational dreams, regardless of the public nature of their sexual and gender identity.” The $2,500 award per selected student may be used for tuition, books, fees, room and board and other educational expenses. It does not need to be repaid. The application period is from January 15, 2025 – March 5, 2025. San Diego Foundation will make students’ privacy the highest priority during the application process. All information submitted to the application portal will be confidential. Setting the precedent in California, San Diego Foundation’s vision is for the fund to grow to be a national source of financial aid for LGBTQ+ students to attend the technical school, college or university of their choosing. To apply, a student who identifies as LGBTQ+ whether publicly or privately must be a high school senior; an incoming or current college or university student; or an adult re-entry student. Applicants need to have lived in California for at least one year and must demonstrate financial need by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the California DREAM Act Application or the Federal Student Aid Estimator Tool. Students must plan to enroll in at least 6 units in an accredited public or nonprofit community college; four-year university or trade/vocational school anywhere within the United States. For more details about eligibility and selection criteria, please visit rainbowcollegefund.org/scholarship-program/. The need for this scholarship is well-documented. According to a survey conducted by Student Loan Hero, LGBTQ+ students face significant barriers in paying for their education. Families may not financially support their children, leading LGBTQ+ students to turn to loans to finance their schooling. LGBTQ+ borrowers had a higher debt burden on average, with $16,000 more than their cisgender/heterosexual peers: 60% of LGBTQ+ student loan borrowers regret taking out student loans; 28% feel that they can’t manage their student loan payments and more than 53% reported earning less than $50,000 per year. For every $1,000 scholarship a student receives, they are 5% more likely to complete their education. Privacy remains a major concern. A 2022 study from the Williams Institute found that LGBTQ+ students are four times more likely than non-LGBTQ+ students to choose college in a state with a more welcoming climate and to live away from family; 60% of white LGBTQ+ students are not out to staff/faculty and less than 40% of LGBTQ+ students of color are out to staff/faculty. Community colleges have even higher rates of keeping sexual identity private: more than 70% white LGBTQ+ students and 65% LGBTQ+ students of color are not out. LGBTQ+ rights have been under increased attack in general, but also transgender and gender diverse communities in particular. This political landscape is the backdrop by which teenagers are navigating their identities while emerging into adulthood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a study documenting that approximately 3.3% of high school students identify as transgender and another 2.2% are questioning their gender identity. Transgender and gender-questioning teenagers reported alarmingly higher rates of bullying at school, persistent sadness and suicidal thoughts and behavior. About one in four transgender students said they had attempted suicide in the past year, compared with 11% of cisgender girls and 5% of cisgender boys. * * * About National Rainbow College Fund National Rainbow College Fund (NRCF) is the first scholarship designed to exclusively support LGBTQ+ students pursuing their ambitions for higher education regardless of the public nature of the student’s sexual and gender identity.
