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.

Sportradar Partners With The NBA To Help Bring A New Era Of Sports Viewership To Fans

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga Click here to listen to Sportradar’s 3 rd Quarter 2024 earnings call Melting into a leather recliner or plush couch facing a big screen to watch games on Sunday may have been a hallowed tradition for generations of sports fans. But according to St. Gallen, Switzerland-based Sportradar Group AG (NASDAQ: SRAD), this is changing – viewers in their twenties don’t see sports competing with linear viewing like feature movies. Sport remains one of the only experiences that demands being seen live, but for this audience, it also competes with gaming and social media for viewers’ attention. And Sportradar, positioned at the intersection of the sports, media and betting industries, is reimagining this shift. Marrying Live Sports With Immersive Data And A Game Of Opportunity? Sportradar is a global sports technology company creating immersive experiences for sports fans and bettors through deep and insightful analytics and value-added solutions served up in real time as a game is being played, immersing the viewer in the action. Part of this is achieved by using generative AI technology that can deliver a hyper-personalized experience with custom viewing angles and real-time, dynamic animation overlays. One result of this is that viewers interested in making online bets can potentially better understand what is happening on the court. Sportradar says it provides sports leagues, news media, consumer platforms and sports betting operators a range of solutions to help grow their businesses. As a result, Sportradar is partnered with some of the biggest sports organizations in the world. In 2016, Sportradar became the NBA’s official provider of real-time league statistics. In 2021, it announced a 10-year, exclusive global partnership with the NBA, WNBA and the NBA G League (the NBA’s minor league farm system) to distribute official league data and create content using the leagues’ exclusive data. Today, Sportradar is also partnered with organizations like the ATP, the NHL, MLB, NASCAR and top global soccer properties UEFA, CONMEBOL, FIFA and Bundesliga. The company says it covers close to a million events annually across several major sports. Sportradar’s push to find new ways for fans to get closer to the action has helped drive its topline growth. The company’s most recent earnings report is a testament to that. Sportradar’s Growth-Oriented Strategy To Drive Broad-Based Outperformance During Sportradar’s third-quarter 2024 earnings calls, the company reported that revenue increased 27% on a year-over-year basis for the same period. When earnings were released on Nov. 7, Carsten Koerl, Sportradar’s CEO, said that the company continues “to show strong momentum in the U.S., which we expect to be further bolstered by the growth of in-game betting and with the start of the NBA and NHL seasons.” The company’s optimism for this appears to be bolstered by its October 2024 announcement that it has expanded its relationship with the NBA with the launch of a suite of next-generation fan engagement products. These include a tool that transforms real-time official NBA data into 3D visualizations and customizable viewing angles that help keep fans engaged in a betting operator’s app as they are served in-play betting opportunities. Another tool works to predict possible outcomes in a game so that fans can have a greater appreciation of the action on the court and, if they so choose, make better informed betting decisions in real time. Furthermore, subscribers to NBA League Pass in the U.S. now have functionality that allows them to track bets within a broadcast. Innovations like these helped Sportradar’s quarterly profit to increase by 14.5% to €37 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose 30% to €66 million. And Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 25.8%. Net cash from operating activities for the quarter increased to €118 million, while free cash flow increased to €62 million. During the conference call, Sportradar announced that it was raising full-year guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and margins. The company also noted it had repurchased $8.3 million worth of its shares during the quarter. Potential Opportunities Exist For Further Growth Sportradar says it has served over 50 billion ad impressions for over 200 gambling operators over the past year. During the company’s earnings call, Sportradar also noted that it had added paid search to its ad:s marketing service. This can enable operators to more effectively reach and acquire customers searching betting and gaming-related topics online. Sportradar also launched a micro markets strategy for soccer and the ATP, which provides up to 1,500 betting opportunities in a single match. The company plans to expand micro markets to basketball, baseball, American football and ice hockey in early 2025. The recipient of several industry awards, Sportradar was recognized in two categories at the 2024 American Gambling Awards. Its 4Sight technology was named Betting Product of the Year. The company was also named Data Service Provider of the Year. Sportradar is planning an Investor Day in 2025. Learn more about the Sportradar earnings call here.

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.

PathAI

PathAI, a leader in AI-powered pathology solutions, today announced the launch of the AIM-IHC Breast Panel, a set pf advanced AI-assisted, algorithms designed to quantify critical breast cancer biomarkers—HER2, ER, PR, and Ki-67. Available now on the AISight® Image Management System (IMS), this comprehensive panel provides partners with accurate, consistent scoring, enhancing precision and streamlining workflow efficiency. Adding to the existing AIM-HER2 Breast solution, this consolidation of critical breast cancer biomarker algorithms into a single, pathologist-centric image management system directly addresses the need for standardized, reliable quantification assist tools to support pathologists. PathAI’s AIM-IHC Breast Panel is designed to address key challenges in breast cancer biomarker quantification, particularly the need for precise and reproducible assessment. The panel provides accurate, consistent, zero-click scoring for HER2, ER, PR, and Ki-67 directly from routine immunohistochemistry (IHC) images.

This breast cancer-centric panel is designed for a pathologist-assist workflow, allowing users to better differentiate regions of interest, improve the accuracy of invasive cancer segmentation, and streamline tedious scoring processes. The AIM-IHC Breast Panel is the latest addition to PathAI's expanding suite of AI-powered solutions on the AISight® IMS. AISight serves as a central hub for managing pathology images, enabling seamless integration of various AI-driven tools for pathology labs.

Pathologists no longer need to spend significant time manually counting cells or rely on imprecise approximations. The panel’s automated features, such as classifying invasive cancer and generating percentage-based results for positive cancer cells, provide pathologists with the clarity needed to produce more accurate scoring. The introduction of the AIM-IHC Breast Panel marks a significant step in PathAI’s ongoing mission to enable precision pathology and empower pathologists with the latest AI-driven technologies.

For the Second Year in a Row, Shareholder Calls for Microsoft Shareholders to Reject Reid Hoffman

NLPC

The annual meeting for Microsoft Corporation is on Tuesday, and for the second year in a row, an investor is calling upon shareholders to oppose the re-election of tech entrepreneur and political agitator Reid Hoffman to the board of directors. Earlier this year, National Legal and Policy Center sent a letter to Microsoft Corporation calling upon Hoffman to resign from the board, and if he refused, then for his fellow directors to call a special meeting to vote on his removal. The shareholder group wrote that he should not continue to serve on Microsoft’s board, after Hoffman wished for the death of former President Donald Trump just days before an attempted assassination on the now President-elect. The letter, sent in July, followed NLPC’s plea last year in advance of the tech company’s 2023 annual meeting, which asked voting shareholders to oppose Hoffman’s re-election to a seat on the board. NLPC argued then (and argues now) that the former member of the “Paypal mafia” harbors an unhealthy obsession with the personal and political destruction of President-elect Trump, and that he displays an intolerance and temperament that is unbefitting for a director of a prestigious multinational corporation like Microsoft. NLPC also called into question Hoffman’s extremely poor judgment in his visit to Little Saint James island with multi-millionaire financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as his regular associations with him, many years after the pedophile was convicted for the abuse of underage girls. For these same reasons, NLPC demanded that Hoffman be removed as a member of the Defense Department’s Innovation Advisory Board “Under any other circumstances, Reid Hoffman’s caustic rhetoric, his reckless conduct, and his preoccupation with the destruction of a political foe, would disqualify him from the privilege of serving on a corporate board,” said Paul Chesser, director of the Corporate Integrity Project for NLPC. “Corporate America seems to be coming to their senses finally on issues like DEI and the transgender delusion, so maybe shareholders will finally reject an extremist like Mr. Hoffman, because they should.” NLPC released a satirical video in October that identified several of Hoffman’s sins and shortcomings that make him unqualified for Microsoft’s board of directors. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

Teambuilder Receives Patent for Predictive Staff Scheduling in Healthcare

TeamBuilder

TeamBuilder has been granted Patent No. 12148523 for its predictive staff scheduling technology. The patent covers TeamBuilder’s innovative approach of weaving patient volume, workflow and employee availability and characteristics into an easy-to-use interface that managers can use to make optimal scheduling decisions. This achievement underscores TeamBuilder’s commitment to leveraging data-driven solutions to improve staffing efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance patient care. “Securing a patent for our predictive staff scheduling technology is a significant milestone for TeamBuilder, confirming the innovation behind our solution,” said David Howard, Founder and CEO of TeamBuilder. “Our technology addresses the complex staffing challenges healthcare providers face today, offering a smarter, more efficient way to manage workforce needs while improving both staff and patient outcomes.” Staff scheduling in healthcare is inherently complex, with fluctuating patient demand, varying specialty needs, multiple locations, and diverse staff preferences. Despite this, many healthcare organizations continue to rely on staffing ratios and manual scheduling systems, such as paper or Excel-based methods, which often lead to overstaffing, administrative inefficiencies, and a lack of visibility into key operational metrics. How TeamBuilder Works: Schedule Optimization: Develops the most efficient schedule by balancing patient demand, staff availability, workload, and clinic constraints, minimizing gaps in coverage. Staff Allocation: Focuses on analyzing staff availability and workload to predict the optimal number of staff needed for each shift, ensuring the right coverage in alignment with patient demand. Operational Visibility: Provides real-time insights into clinic operations, resource allocation, and clinic-to-clinic comparisons, enabling data-driven staffing adjustments and resource planning. Performance Tracking: Tracks key metrics such as resource cost per visit and peer benchmarking to evaluate and enhance operational efficiency. “The shift toward data-driven predictive scheduling is no longer optional—it’s essential,” says Niel Oscarson, Research Director at KLAS. “Healthcare organizations that can accurately forecast staffing needs will see improvements in both operational efficiency and patient care quality. Our conversations with TeamBuilder customers indicate that Teambuilder is making a significant impact with its patented technology, creating new and significant efficiencies in workforce management. Additionally, TeamBuilder’s focus on the ambulatory care space addresses a critical area of need.” TeamBuilder’s patented staff scheduling technology not only transforms workforce management but also drives tangible, measurable improvements. Healthcare organizations have seen an 11% improvement in access to care and payroll reductions of 9-14% through optimized staffing. The technology also enhances communication and reduces the time required to create and manage schedules, streamlining operations. These outcomes highlight TeamBuilder’s impact on improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing patient care. About TeamBuilder: TeamBuilder is an innovator in healthcare workforce management, offering a smart scheduling solution powered by patented predictive technology. By combining data science with intuitive scheduling interface, TeamBuilder helps healthcare organizations optimize staffing, reduce costs, and improve patient care. The platform’s focus on predictive scheduling is reshaping how healthcare facilities approach workforce management, ultimately benefiting both staff and patients.
