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. For more information on the Cutoshi (CUTO) Presale: https://cutoshi.com/ Join and become a community member: https://twitter.com/CutoshiToken https://t.me/cutoshi Welcome to Cutoshi, the revolutionary meme coin, DeFi hub and educational platform inspired by the Lucky Cat and Satoshi Nakamoto’s teachings.

Now Cutoshi the Lucky Cat is on the blockchain bringing luck, prosperity, and wealth to your digital assets. Cutoshi is creating a path to financial freedom, for those who choose to honor the power of the Lucky Cat.

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. About SPARK Microsystems​ SPARK Microsystems is building next generation short-range wireless communication devices. SPARK provides high data rate and very low latency wireless communication links at an ultra-low power profile, making it ideal for personal area networks (PANs) used in mobile, consumer and IoT-connected products. Leveraging patented technologies, SPARK Microsystems strives to minimize and ultimately eliminate wires and batteries from a wide range of applications while delivering a wired-like performance.
