Time To Buy Cardano? Big Whales Turn Bullish On ADA And Two Other Altcoins

Cutoshi

Cardano (ADA) and Sui (SUI) have both experienced impressive rallies over the past month and have quickly become some of the hottest Layer 1 platforms in the space. Cutoshi (CUTO) also continues to tear through milestones as its viral presale has attracted thousands of investors rushing to secure an allocation. Let’s dive deeper into each of these projects and see how they compare in terms of ROI. Accumulation Continues For Cardano As Crucial Update Is Unveiled Cardano (ADA) has entered a cool-off phase after peaking at $1.30 in early December. After a retest of the $0.92 support during the market-wide flash crash, Cardano rebounded and settled around the $1.12 mark. Meanwhile, whales continue to accumulate preposterous amounts of ADA in anticipation of the next leg up. Analyst Ali Martinez has shared some on-chain insights, showing that over the last few days, large wallets have scooped up over $80 million worth of Cardano. It’s never a bad idea to follow the money, especially when the bull run is just starting to ramp up. Many experts believe that Cardano is on the verge of a breakout and Cantonese Cat has shared an intriguing chart reading that shows the next milestones for ADA. With a combination of Fibonacci Levels and Gann Fan analysis, he pinpoints several crucial levels, with a possible top between $6 and $8 at the peak of the cycle. On the technical front, Cardano continues to make strides, as the upgrade for the Daedalus wallet was launched today. Daedalus v7.0.0 will introduce several bug fixes and optimization, an improved interface, and enhanced governance options Sui Clears New All-Time High, But It’s Not Done Yet Sui (SUI) continues to rise undeterred, as it showed remarkable resilience during the previous days’ downturn. After sweeping the lows, Sui rallied once again and reached a new all-time high of $4.88. to a new peak. Currently, Sui trades at $4.78 with a 4.4% intraday increase, bringing its monthly gains to a noteworthy 44%. This Sui surge has been catalyzed by a series of bullish announcements, which have also led to a new peak in DEX volume, surpassing $466 million and $1.8 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL). Recently, Sui started a partnership with Ant Digital Technologies to tokenize ESG-backed real-world assets. The goal is to integrate these assets within Sui’s blockchain ecosystem and expand access for institutional investors across the globe. Why Cutoshi Could Surprise Everyone In 2025 Cutoshi is already making waves in the meme coin space with its unique ecosystem that leverages DeFi utility, providing a 360-degree cross-chain experience to users who are tired of switching between single-chain protocols when trading across multiple blockchains. CUTO DEX is Cutoshi’s flagship feature. This is a non-custodial decentralized exchange that removes the middlemen from the equation and allows users to have exclusive control over their funds. This approach distances Cutoshi from the framework of centralized exchanges championing the ideals of privacy and decentralization, echoing the teachings of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Moreover, via the Cutoshi Farming initiative investors will have the opportunity to earn income by participating in special events and completing fun missions. The goal of these missions is to raise awareness about the project and expand its reach on social media. In exchange, users will receive Cuto points that can be later redeemed for $CUTO tokens post-presale In stage 4 of the $CUTO presale, tokens sell for just $0.031, meaning that there has never been a better time to get involved, as the next price surge could happen sooner than expected.

Trending MemeFi Token Attracts Crypto Investors Alongside Increased Trading Volume With Cardano And Ethereum

Cutoshi

Fresh capital is flooding into Ethereum (ETH) and Cardano (ADA) as they both tease incoming breakouts that could see them reclaim crucial resistance levels. Cutoshi, a new meme coin, is taking the market by storm with its unique premise that merges meme energy with DeFi utility. Over $1.3 million has been raised in the ongoing presale of the $CUTO token and demand is skyrocketing. Ethereum Soaring Above $4,000 After consolidating for weeks around the $3,500 mark, Ethereum (ETH) is now trading at $4,020.2, following an 8.5% weekly surge. As Ethereum is cooling off after the move, volume has dipped by 19.5%, with roughly $52.5 billion worth of ETH traded on exchanges in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, Ethereum inflows are rapidly increasing. On Thursday, BlackRock’s ETH ETF (ETHA) recorded an all-time high of $292 million in daily inflows, highlighting growing investor interest in Ethereum-related investment products. Trader and analyst Pentoshi has shared a bullish chart reading on X in regards to Ethereum’s price action. On the macro level, Ethereum has already tapped into the supply zone at $4000 several times already. Between the ETF craze and the galvanized sentiment in the crypto markets, Ethereum’s reclaim of the $4,800 resistance could happen at any time. Cardano Enters Reaccumulation Zone Over the last month alone, Cardano experienced a 235% rally, becoming one of the best-performing cryptos. This latest surge saw Cardano triumphantly reenter the crypto top 10 with $41.7 billion in market cap. After peaking at $1.30 just a few days ago, Cardano (ADA) has retraced and is currently moving in a ranging channel, with its price fluctuating around the $1.19 mark. In the last 24 hours, Cardano experienced a 1.7% decrease while rebounding from the $1.14 support. Analyst Ali Martinez points out that Cardano has broken out of an ascending triangle pattern. This means that a rebound from this level would confirm the bullish thesis for Cardano and send it soaring to new heights. Both Ethereum and Cardano will undoubtedly experience significant gains, with Ethereum possibly reaching the prophesied $10,000 milestone. However, it's unlikely for both projects to experience the same price multipliers of the past. Crypto-enthusiasts looking for greater ROI should consider looking into low-cap, undervalued projects like Cutoshi, especially with the meme narrative dominating the market. Cutoshi Spearheading The Meme Revolution 2.0 Cutoshi sets itself apart from run-of-the-mill meme coins by leveraging the limitless potential of DeFi. The ecosystem brings disconnected blockchains together into one decentralized exchange, CUTO DEX. Investors can seamlessly swap between assets at near-instantaneous speed without having to circle between exchanges. Just like the Japanese Lucky Cat brings good fortune to businesses, Cutoshi brings good fortune to its community through the Cutoshi Farm system. Once staking is available, holders of the $CUTO token will receive recurring rewards sustained by the revenue generated by the platform. Moreover, during and after the presale, individuals will have the opportunity to participate in special events and complete tasks to earn additional $CUTO tokens. One of the project’s most interesting features is the Cutoshi Academy. This is a learning platform that aims to assist newcomers on their crypto journey. In the academy, they will find free resources that teach the basics of DeFi, trading and how to build a future-proof portfolio. Stage 4 of the $CUTO presale is live and with the token selling for just $0.031, taking into account all that Cutoshi has to offer it has the potential to 10x.

Cutoshi (CUTO) Has Completed Stage 3 Of Presale Ahead Of Schedule, Here's Everything You Need To Know

Cutoshi

As a crypto meme coin trader, one of the most infuriating things about meme coins is that usually by the time you’ve heard of them, it's already too late as the price has pumped so much. Cutoshi is still in presale, meaning that potential buyers still have time to get on board. If you’re still wondering what the fuss is about, here’s what you need to know before it’s too late. Where Is Cutoshi At? Stage 3 of the presale has just finished and stage 4 is underway. This happened a lot earlier than expected, putting the price of $CUTO at $0.031. This puts holders from the start at a rewarding 100% profit. Since there are many more stages to go and lots of community support, there is a lot of room for price appreciation. The project has already raised over $1.29 million and interest is continuing to grow. Why Did Stage 3 Finish So Quickly? The early completion of Stage 3 wasn’t a fluke but rather a result of growing interest in what Cutoshi has to offer. Putting aside its unique hybrid utility as a meme coin that meets DeFi, what factors led to Stage 3 ending so quickly? Memetic Power The internet runs on memes, particularly in crypto, where the majority of the buyers are late millennials or younger, people who’ve mostly grown up with internet memes being ubiquitous. This trend continues as we move into web3 users, as this report says, “the average Web3 user is 30 years old” and “users between the ages of 25 and 34 make up more than 45% of Web3 platform users.” Cutoshi’s Lucky Cat mascot has managed to cut through the usual crowd of frogs and dogs dominating meme coins. It’s simple, recognizable and perfect for memes. You’ve probably seen it pop up on X recently in everything from animated GIFs to hand-drawn fan art and pictures painted in a graffiti style. Trending On X During Thanksgiving The report also mentions how the largest number of web3 users are from the US. And that makes sense when we know that $CUTO has been trending on X three times recently, once right before Thanksgiving. And that helps us to understand why $CUTO saw a spike in activity around Thanksgiving, with the younger members of the family eating Turkey and spilling the tea - attracting hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment on that day. FOMO In Action For those who decided to take a crypto-free day and then check in on Cutoshi, they were amazed to see that stage 3 was selling out, taking the coin to a 100% profit from the beginning of the presale. We’ve all experienced FOMO and so many people, rather than buy Bitcoin at the ultimate top (hey, it might work but there are better strategies), decided to get into a promising presale that they know still has many rounds to go before it is even ready to enter the final stages of price discovery - such as listing on a DEX and beyond. Cutoshi’s Fundamentals Underpin Everything Unlike a conventional meme coin, Cutoshi is based on a solid idea - bringing DeFi to the masses. Their plan for this consists of a cross-chain DEX, designed to offer lower fees and make bridging between blockchains easier for users. Another major feature is the NFT collection, which will include exclusive Lucky Cat-themed collectibles tied to the project’s branding. And people can pay in CUTO, adding further utility to the token. Cutoshi is also proud of their upcoming learning academy, which will be fun and beautiful (in an old-school computer game kind of way) and encourage so many more people to get into web3 and DeFi and how to make the most of it!

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Records 500,000 BTC Milestone, Luckiest Token On The Blockchain Hits $1.29M In Viral Presale

Cutoshi

It finally happened. Bitcoin (BTC) has reached the prophesied $100k landmark and then some, sending the whole crypto community into a frenzy. Meanwhile, BlackRock’s ETF has also cleared a new milestone, amassing 500,380 BTC, holding roughly half of the total BTC across all US-based ETFs. Cutoshi, a newcomer, continues to make waves in the meme coin space, as investors are funneling the market-wide euphoria into the incredibly successful presale of the $CUTO token. Bitcoin Celebrates $100K, What’s Next? Although this move has been already teased for weeks, once a $100k BTC became reality, it cemented the legitimacy of Bitcoin in the eyes of even the most outspoken skeptics. At the time of writing, Bitcoin sells for $101k with a 7.2% intraday decrease as selling pressure intensified just below the $104k mark. The massive influx of liquidity resulted in a 131% spike in volume, with over $138 billion worth of BTC traded on exchanges. Although the dust from the rocket still hasn’t settled, some experts have already stepped in with new predictions. For starters, prominent trader and analyst CrediBull Crypto has been vindicated, as his Bitcoin projection during the most bearish months of the, played out almost exactly as portrayed on the chart. The next targets for Bitcoin are eyeing the $110k level, although a cool-off phase is likely to take place first. Institutional investors continue to bid heavily on Bitcoin. The largest spot BTC ETF, BlackRock’s IBIT, is now holding over $50 billion worth of Bitcoin or roughly 2.3% of the 21 million BTC in existence. In the first few days of December, Bitcoin ETFs have recorded a massive $1.5 billion in inflows, highlighting exponential interest in the asset. However, not everyone is happy, as over the last 24 hours a staggering $137 million in short positions were liquidated. Many investors who took profits are now taking advantage of the discounted prices of low-cap alts that could yield much greater gains. One such glaring example is Cutoshi as it's just starting to gain traction. Cutoshi Raises The Bar For Meme Coins Cutoshi draws inspiration from the Lucky Cats present in Japanese tradition. These cats are believed to bring good fortune to businesses and households. Meanwhile, Cutoshi aims to bring good fortune to the blockchain and its rapidly growing community through the revolutionary Cutoshi Farming system. Cutoshi unites memes and DeFi into a unique MemeFi ecosystem that empowers and rewards users. CUTO DEX is Cutoshi’s flagship feature, a state-of-the-art non-custodial exchange offering lightning-fast cross-chain transactions. For just 0.25% in transaction fees, users can seamlessly trade across blockchains with minimal slippage without having to switch platforms. Cutoshi incentivizes users to engage with the ecosystem via the Cutoshi Farming mechanism. By staking the $CUTO token or providing liquidity, investors will have the opportunity to earn passive income on autopilot. On top of this, during and after the presale, individuals can participate in special events and complete various tasks in exchange for points that can be later redeemed for CUTO tokens post-presale. One of Cutoshi’s most interesting features is the Cutoshi Academy. This is a learning platform that will help newcomers navigate the DeFi space and learn the ins and outs of trading and portfolio management. This initiative will also help spread the word about Cutoshi, organically growing the user base. Stage 4 of the $CUTO presale has just started and the token is priced at just $0.031. Investors who take action today could reap incredible benefits once $CUTO is listed on major exchanges.

Why Crypto Whales Are Betting On These 3 Altcoins This December?

Cutoshi

While most majors are seeing incredible surges, Ethereum (ETH) and Toncoin (TON) have recorded modest increases when compared to their counterparts. This is exactly why large wallets are accumulating both as their charts are flashing signs of imminent upward moves. Cutoshi has also hit the radar of whales on the lookout for undervalued projects that have yet to enter real price discovery. With meme coin season firing on all cylinders and the incoming rotation into utility-driven projects, Cutoshi is set to hit the markets at the best possible time as it merges meme culture with DeFi in a future-proof success formula. Can Ethereum Reach $4,000 Before The End Of The Year? Ethereum has been ranging around the $3,500 mark for a few weeks now, as it failed to breach the $3,800 resistance level. Today, Ethereum sells for $3,500 with a 1.7% intraday decrease and $40 billion in daily volume. Although Ethereum raked in over 45% in monthly gains, its performance has somewhat lagged when taking into account the rallies that competitor Layer 1 platforms have experienced, with Solana and Cardano being the most glaring examples. This could soon change, however, as analyst Venturefounder points out that Ethereum has reached the tip of a multi-year triangle formation. He draws a parallel with Ethereum’s price action during the 2016-2017 cycle, where Ethereum broke out of a similar pattern and went out to reach a new all-time high. This means that if this scenario plays out again, Ethereum could soon surge to $4,000 and enter an ascending channel that could see it reach a 5-figure peak in 2025. Through on-chain data, Ali Martinez reveals that whales continue to accumulate grandiose amounts of Ethereum. Over the last week, they have amassed over 280,000 ETH, worth approximately $1 billion. Toncoin Gearing Up For The Next Rally? Toncoin has been demonstrating remarkable strength in the past few days as shown by the 10% weekly increase. At the time of writing, Toncoin trades at $6.88 with a 6.6% increase. After bottoming out at around $4.70, Toncoin has entered an ascending channel with the next big target being the $8.24 all-time high that it reached in summer. Toncoin’s current price action seems to be following the chart reading that CryptoBullet shared last week. He shows that Toncoin has been moving in a multi-year 5-wave pattern that is close to completion, with a final impulse that could see TON skyrocket to $12. Toncoin is essentially Telegram’s blockchain extension. As such, it directly taps into the nearly 1 billion-strong Telegram user base. This almost automatically guarantees that Toncoin is set to become one of the top Layer 1 platforms in the crypto space and could realistically outclass other projects such as Tron and Avalanche in terms of usage. However, low-cap entries such as Cutoshi could yield greater gains as they have much greater room for growth. The Luckiest Cat On The Blockchain Has A Name, Cutoshi The mythical Japanese Lucky Cats are said to bring wealth and prosperity to businesses and households. Cutoshi draws its inspiration from them as it’s designed to bring good fortune with its revolutionary reward system. CUTO DEX is Cutoshi’s base of operations. This is a non-custodial exchange that removes the middlemen from the equation, allowing users to be fully in control of their funds and personal data. CUTO DEX integrates all major blockchains and allows users to perform rapid-fire transactions with the lowest possible fees. A happy and motivated community equals a prosperous project that can thrive in the long run. Cutoshi offers generous incentives to users who engage with the ecosystem. The Cutoshi Farming initiative encourages individuals to partake in special events and complete fun missions. In exchange, they will receive CUTO points that can be turned into $CUTO once the presale wraps up and tokens hit the market. The 4th stage of the $CUTO presale is live and over $1.2 million has been raised so far. $CUTO tokens are priced at just $0.031.

Cutoshi ($CUTO) The Meme Coin Adopting Bitcoin's Principles Completes Stage 3 Of Presale, Raises Over $1.27 Million

Cutoshi

History shows that being early on a low-cap gem could make the difference between enjoying huge profits and missing out on significant returns. This is exactly what happened with Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Pepe investors who bought in right at launch and saw their portfolios grow exponentially in the span of a few years, sometimes even months. Cutoshi, a newcomer in the space, is still flying under the radar, and buyers who take action today could realistically experience incredible returns as the bull run heads into 2025. Cutoshi’s success formula is unique as it merges meme culture with DeFi functionality for a future-proof combo that sets it apart from the mass of purely hype-driven meme coins. Enter The Cutoshi Ecosystem At the heart of Cutoshi is CUTO DEX. This is a non-custodial decentralized exchange that will allow for rapid-fire transactions across all major blockchains for only 0.25% in fees. Built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, this platform could very soon give established DEXs like Uniswap and Raydium a run for their money. With its focus on decentralization and privacy, Cutoshi embodies the principles that drove legendary Satoshi Nakamoto to create Bitcoin and change the world. While centralized exchanges require personal information and custody of funds, Cutoshi goes the other way. No KYC is required to join the platform and middlemen are removed from the equation. This means that the privacy of users is non-negotiable and they will retain absolute control over their assets. Moreover, Cutoshi will also offer an exclusive multi-chain wallet, allowing users to store and manage their assets with ease. How Cutoshi Brings Good Fortune To The Blockchain Cutoshi’s aesthetic is inspired by the Lucky Cats from Japanese tradition, which are said to bring good fortune to businesses. Cutoshi aims to bring luck and prosperity to early adopters with the Cutoshi Farming model that rewards users the more they engage with the ecosystem. Community members will be tasked with partaking in various missions and quests to raise awareness about Cutoshi and expand its reach on social media. For their loyalty, they will receive Cuto points that can be exchanged for $CUTO once the token is available for trading. To further gamify the experience, users will be able to track their performance on a scoreboard and they can also head over to the Cutoshi Shrine for the chance to win daily prizes and other surprises. Thousands are already farming their points and this number is growing by the day, creating a perfect win-win scenario in which the community actively participates in the project’s success. Once the presale wraps up, staking will be live as well, allowing investors to tap into a passive income stream, magnifying their earnings. Cutoshi Academy One of the project’s most intriguing features is the Cutoshi Academy, a learning hub where newcomers will receive a helping hand on their crypto journey. In the Academy, they will find many free resources that demystify key concepts like DeFi, teach the basics of trading, and give advice on how to build a profitable long-term portfolio. This platform has already received significant praise as it lowers entry barriers and narrows the divide between veterans and crypto newbies.

Cutoshi Presale Stage 3 Sells Out In Record Time As Whales Rush In To Buy $CUTO

Cutoshi

Memecoin and DeFi ecosystem Cutoshi is going from strength to strength as it sells out of its third stage of presale. After trending on X, it has become the topic of every conversation. It’s That Time of Year Again - Altcoin Season! Prominent trader Ali Martinez sees a potential pullback to $90k for Bitcoin, a move that suggests altcoin season is here. Another sign is that Bitcoin dominance has dropped to 51%, signaling a shift in market sentiment. The Altcoin Season Index, now sitting at 75, confirms that altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin, as 38 of the top 50 cryptocurrencies have beaten BTC over the last 90 days. It’s the highest level since January, a time when altcoins thrived until March. Analysts are already speculating that this could push many altcoins, particularly those with strong narratives and utility, much higher over the next few months. A drop in BTC dominance doesn’t just favor the larger altcoins like Ethereum and XRP; it creates opportunities for smaller projects like Cutoshi, which combines the speculative appeal of memecoins with the functionality of DeFi. CryptoQuant’s Ki Young Ju says that this isn’t just about rotation from Bitcoin to alts. Stablecoin and fiat inflows are increasing trading volume for altcoins, suggesting new money is entering the market. Meanwhile, an analyst at Rekt Capital argues that Ethereum and smaller alts are seeing capital flows thanks to Bitcoin’s range-bound price action. Either way, for young projects like Cutoshi, these are prime conditions for growth. Why Whales Are Turning To Altcoins Whales are increasingly looking beyond Bitcoin for higher returns. With BTC consolidating near its recent highs, larger investors are derisking by diversifying into projects that offer strong upside potential. For Cutoshi, this is a critical moment. The project is gaining attention not just from retail but also from whales seeking early-stage opportunities. Its recent presale successes suggest significant interest from both groups. What Makes Cutoshi Stand Out? Cutoshi has managed to do what few projects can: balance meme culture with real utility. Its Lucky Cat figurine and mascot grab attention, but what’s under the hood is what’s keeping both retail and whales interested. The low-fee, cross-chain DEX is built for everyone, it’s simple, affordable and designed to cut out the barriers that have stopped retail from fully engaging with decentralized finance. For newbies, it’s the first step into a complicated world that suddenly feels a lot easier and more fun to trade in. The Cutoshi Academy strips DeFi down to the basics, teaching staking, farming and security without overwhelming users. It’s the kind of resource retail investors need to feel confident in their decisions. The whales know that this could facilitate the mainstream adoption of DeFi. Looking ahead, Cutoshi is rolling out Lucky Cat NFTs with real utilities, like staking rewards and exclusive access to farming pools. A merchandise shop is also planned, rewarding $CUTO holders with discounts. All of this feeds into a carefully designed tokenomics system where a portion of every transaction on the DEX is burned, creating a deflationary model that could support long-term growth. Cutoshi has also put aside 7% of its total token supply specifically for burning purposes, further supporting its deflationary strategy. Cutoshi’s Big Milestones In the last month, $CUTO is up by over 100% as it sold out of the first three stages in record time. This comes as the project trends in the top spot of X globally, alongside keywords such as DeFi and BTC. The farming platform has also been released, giving early community members a way to have fun, spread the word and collect tokens, with over 3000 people taking part. Meme competitions are also getting the community active, including a graffiti-style tribute to the Lucky Cat crypto. Cutoshi’s presale has raised over $1.2M and the price of CUTO may rise again soon if the whales keep buying and given that altcoin season is firmly here, both retail and whales alike are expected to keep piling in.

New Research Shows SPARK Microsystems Wireless Audio Delivers Highest Possible Sound Quality

SPARK Microsystems

SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation short-range wireless communications, has released the findings of a new third-party expert research analysis demonstrating the bit-perfect wireless audio delivery achievable with SPARK’s ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. The research findings were initially presented at AES Show 2024 NY and are now available here in a video overview featuring SPARK Microsystems CTO Frederic Nabki and audio expert Jeff Anderson. The research results demonstrate that SPARK UWB audio delivery is indistinguishable from a wired transmission, exhibiting bit-perfect signal fidelity. This performance profile, complemented with low latency of under 7 milliseconds, enables uncorrupted, pristine wireless audio. The sound quality produced is vastly superior to legacy Bluetooth technology, distinguishing SPARK UWB as the wireless platform of choice for prestigious audio brands including Sonus Faber and Focal. Notably, the SPARK UWB wireless connection also offered bi-directional audio transport, supporting an additional bit-perfect, low-latency uncompressed audio back channel. Although this feature was not a primary focus of the study, it highlights the versatility and advanced capabilities of the technology. The testing was performed by Jeff Anderson, an independent audio engineering consultant with 25 years of industry expertise. Leveraging wired equipment as the reference, Anderson provides an in-depth comparison of SPARK’s UWB technology to competing audio codecs including LDAC, aptX HD, aptX LL, and SBC. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) measurements were used to evaluate the signal quality of the tested audio systems. Among the findings, Anderson observed that LDAC, aptX, and aptX HD codecs displayed elevated noise floors and noticeable distortion, especially at higher frequencies. Bluetooth codecs LDAC and aptX HD exhibited latency ranging from 30 to 200 milliseconds, degrading audio quality and introducing noticeable delay. In contrast, SPARK’s UWB delivers a clean, distortion-free signal, demonstrating superior fidelity and comparable performance to the wired reference. “Wireless solutions based on SPARK UWB technology represent a major step forward, offering unparalleled stability and performance even in increasingly interference-prone environments,” said Rejean Bedel, Groupe Marketing Manager, Focal. “This advancement marks a turning point for high-end audio, enabling seamless, user-friendly, and wire-free products without compromising sound quality.” “For decades, the industry has accepted compromises in sound quality, latency, and energy efficiency to make wireless audio possible. SPARK's low-power UWB technology changes that, delivering bit-perfect audio exactly as it was encoded at the source, with ultra-low latency that rivals wired connections,” said Frederic Nabki, Co-founder and CTO, SPARK Microsystems. “This breakthrough doesn’t just eliminate wires; it redefines what wireless audio can achieve, setting a new benchmark for fidelity and responsiveness—with low power consumption optimized for battery-powered devices.” For the video overview of the testing methodology and results data, and to hear more about SPARKs ultra-low latency and energy efficiency advantages for audio applications, learn more here. CES 2025 attendees can personally experience the superior sound quality of SPARK’s UWB technology with a live demo of our wireless headset in our Palazzo suite.
