    Crypto Winners & Losers this Week

    With the anticipation by many of crypto’s cold winter finally coming to an end, market bulls have been activated, and found to be rallying up the prices of several cryptocurrencies. In wake of this bullish resurgence, a number of crypto-names have achieved tremendous gains over the prior week. At the time of the writing of this newsletter, these top weekly gainers are as follows:

    Crypto

    Top Weekly Gainers

    EarthFund

    EarthFund (1EARTH) stands as a clear winner this week, given its epic rise from $0.0011 to $0.0066, in only seven days. This price trajectory translates to a 500% climb and holds a trading volume of over $10 million. This US-registered project supports greenery and sustainability causes and aims to empower local communities and nature, through the power of blockchain. The appeal of such a project is evident in its sustained rise.

    NetZero

    Another name in the crypto-sphere that has been performing phenomenally this last week has been NetZero (NZERO). The cryptocurrency has more than tripled its price from $0.058 to $0.198, all in merely seven days. The project is a vocal proponent of the proof-of-stake concept for its low energy cost and has been gaining popular support amid rising electricity costs which make mining unfeasible.

    MakiSwap

    MakiSwap (MAKI) is another that proved to be a wild success during the week after it successfully managed to almost quadruple its price. Its price curve saw it start off the week at $0.0014, and explode yesterday to a high of $0.0057. Presently, MAKI is trading at $0.0055, translating to a net weekly gain of 292%. In the last 24 hours, MAKI saw its trade volume surge from less than $100,000 to over $2 million.

    hiDOODLES

    hiDOODLES has also been on a roll lately, delivering hefty triple-digit growth, much to the delight of all its crypto-holders. The cryptocurrency has been on a slow rise for most of the week until its sudden price explosion of over 300%. Over the course of the week, its net gains are presently 163%. It has been enjoying a sudden surge in market hype since its listing on Kucoin.

    Cat

    Holders of CAT experienced a terrific upward climb after its sustained price shoot-up of 155%, over the prior week. This meme token is the newest name in the meme-coin world and is poising to be a worthy competitor to canine-themed coins such as Doge. It’s recent listing on Coin Gecko adds to its overall popularity, and partly explains its recent upward price surge.

    Top Weekly Losers

    With many in the market highly optimistic about the future trajectory of the market, a number of participants have been letting go of their stakes, expecting things to take a downward turn. A number of crypto-assets have seen a hard plummet in recent days. Some of these names are as follows.

    Rubic

    Rubic (RBC) made it to today’s list of top weekly losers, given its price loss from $0.0222 to its present low of $0.0040, all over the span of a single week. Although the damage had been limited throughout the week, it was not until yesterday that RBC plunged hard, losing over 80% of its crypto price in a single day. Its net loss for the whole week presently exceeds 88%.

    CryptoFi

    Another losing name from this week is CryptoFi (CFI), the weekly loss of which is presently over 72%. The cryptocurrency was off to a strong start in the week, which saw it climb from $0.00097 to $0.00284. This impressive rise saw a rapid correction, as the bears got the better of its price trend, resulting in its present price of $0.00025. At present, CFI’s trade volume is stable at over $900,000.

    FunFi

    Following several complaints from its crypto community, FunFi (FNF) saw a hard price sell-off during the week, resulting in a net weekly price loss of over 45%. With little information regarding the development team, and periodic token dumps, many are calling FNF to be a scam, hence the overall sense of skepticism surrounding it.

    ZigZag

    Holders of ZigZag (ZZ) experienced a thrilling roller-coaster ride this week with unpredictable ups and downs dominating its trend. Eventually, however, as crypto volume began climbing to sizeable levels, market bears gained the upper hand, taking ZZ down from $5.32 to merely $0.82. Accounting for this week’s rises and falls, ZigZag has lost 60% in the last seven days.

    Handy

    Handy has shown to have an extremely volatile crypto-price curve over the last seven days, with both its price and volume figures taking unpredictable jumps. The overall direction for the cryptocurrency, however, has been overwhelmingly bearish, after it shed over 65% of its price in merely 7 days.

  • ICO and Airdrop Weekly Updates

    ICO and Airdrop Weekly Updates

    Active ICOs

    GoatFi

    With the FIFA world cup at its buzz, the ICO for the football-oriented GoatFi platform is amongst the most widely followed at present. With the token sale to end later today, $1.26 million has been raised, against the initial target of $750,000.

    GoatFi combines football enthusiasm with the world of NFTs and SocialFi, giving users the chance to act as both the owners and managers of their virtual teams. Not only do players get to build their dream teams with their player card collection, but also hold the opportunity to win big with FIFA match predictions.

    Primal

    Another active ICO worth keeping on one’s radar is that of Primal, which has reeled in $860,000. The token sale continues to push on until Friday, by when it aims to have raised $2.3 million.

    Primal gives its holders access to a well-designed move-to-earn idea that rewards athletic training with basic health-tracking technology like smart watches or FitBits. In addition to allowing users to exchange fan tokens, the site also offers them the thrilling chance to be a part of the inner circles of their favorite athletes and sports celebrities. There are already more than 250 sports ambassadors on board, including UFC fighters, cricket players, and football legends.

    Cyber Arena

    Cyber Arena (CAT) is another highly promising project in the blockchain gaming space, which has a hot ICO currently active.

    Unlike other P2E multiplayer combat games, Cyber Arena holds a highly sustainable earning model, which is supported by in-game revenue, which includes buybacks, burns, and mining, as well as marketplace revenue such as royalty fees, staking, and discounts. Most importantly, CAT holders are vested with voting power for any significant changes proposed within the wider Cyber Arena ecosystem.

    Upcoming ICOs

    VJRAM

    The VJRAM token sale is an extraordinary one to keep watch of, and will initiate its ICO on Saturday. Even though the token sale has not yet begun, an impressive $2.75 million has been reeled in already. As a result, the initial fundraising goal of $1 million has been raised to $3.75 million.

    The VJRAM platform is one that supports an immersive, virtual world experience, seeking to amplify the ‘interconnectedness’ of players across the metaverse. Within VJRAM, players can navigate across, and explore, a number of virtual realms, while playing against each other and collecting iconic and valuable NFTs along the way.

    Re:water

    The Re:water (WTR) ICO is another one to keep on one’s radar, and is likely to start its token sale within the upcoming week.

    The project is a highly ambitious one and aims to establish itself as the only universal multi-staking platform, where any crypto token in existence can be linked to earning a reward.

    The appeal of the WTR project is quite compelling, given its competitive nature, and the fact that it allows users to resuscitate depreciating tokens, and earn WTR in the process. Universal liquidity of this nature is both unprecedented and a highly revolutionary concept.

    Futurent

    The Futurent (FTR) ICO is also a spectacular ICO that is scheduled to take place during the week, and is trending across various social media platforms.

    Futurent aims to revolutionize the world of NFT real estate, allowing holders to benefit from the fractional ownership model. The project also holds an immersive platform allowing listings to be posted for various luxury assets, including properties from across the metaverse.

    Ended ICOs

    Astra Protocol

    The Astra Protocol (ASTR) ICO came to a successful end this week, managing to pull in an incredible sum of $9 million.

    The token sale for ASTR had been such a hot success given the utility the project offered. In the crypto age of fraud, scams, and hacking, Astra Protocol seeks to establish a new norm, revolving around the concept of The Compliant Blockchain. Through KYC verification, this protocol brings the financial regulatory norms of over 150 countries to the crypto industry. Most impressively, it manages to achieve this without compromising on the anonymous nature of users, in true commitment to decentralized finance.

    Galaxy Finance

    The token sale for Galaxy Finance (GLF) was a very popular ICO and finally ended last week. Throughout the course of the fundraising, the GLF project successfully brought in $110,000.

    Galaxy Finance is a wallet that integrates the greatest elements of Social Web 3.0 technologies to provide a highly customized, informative, and social experience. With the help of this special digital wallet, users may create a portfolio, manage all of their digital assets in one convenient location, and maintain contact with their in-app friends.

  • Early Morning Vibes: Top 4 Stocks Trending on Wednesday

    On December 29, the American stock indices closed in the red. The S&P 500 at the beginning of the session renewed its all-time high, but by its close it dropped 0.22% to 3727 points, the Dow Jones also lost 0.22%, the NASDAQ fell 0.38%. The news background remained calm, but investors preferred to fix some of their positions. The healthcare sector took the lead in growth with a result of + 0.44%, while the real estate sector corrected by 0.71%.

    Company news

    Fulgent Genetics (FLGT: + 8.7%) will provide COVID-19 diagnostic tests to New York City students and educational workers.

    Activist investor Third Point sent a letter to Intel management (INTC: + 4.9%) urging them to consider changes to the company’s strategy.

    Arcturus Therapeutics (ARCT: -54.2%) has published the results of the first phase of clinical trials of a COVID-19 vaccine, which turned out to be weak.

    Today, world stock exchanges are showing mostly positive dynamics. Investors are focusing on the prospects for increasing the volume of direct payments to Americans. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has blocked an attempt to vote on raising the benefit from $ 600 to $ 2,000, so the timing of the discussion remains uncertain. A number of Republicans do not support the president’s initiative to increase the lump sum, pointing to the problem of the budget deficit and high public debt, which hinders the increase in government spending. In the meantime, Americans will start receiving checks for $ 600 today as part of the previously approved economic stimulus program.
     

    On the front of the fight against COVID-19 in the United States, there is no significant positive so far. Colorado has recorded the first patient with a British modification of the coronavirus. The increase in incidence has slowed slightly, but a new outbreak is forecast after the holidays. The number of hospitalized in the United States already exceeds 124 thousand, and the trend remains negative. The vaccination campaign is very slow: so far only 2.13 million have been vaccinated. As Joseph Biden noted, if the process is not accelerated, it may take years, not months, to complete vaccination. This is a significant risk for stocks, but for now investors tend to believe that the acquisition of mass immunity can be accelerated.
