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.

Frontieras Secures $150M Equity Commitment from Global Emerging Markets

Frontieras

Frontieras North America (“Frontieras”), a leader in energy technology innovation, today announced the company has secured a $150M equity investment commitment from GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (“ GEM “) in the form of a Share Subscription Facility (SSF). The SSF will accelerate the company's growth strategy via acquisitions, partnerships, and organic initiatives. The agreement establishes a Share Subscription Facility granting Frontieras the option to call upon GEM to subscribe for Ordinary Shares up to a total value of USD $150 million upon a successful public listing for a thirty-six-month period, as and when needed. The funds provide Frontieras’ management team with the flexibility and capital runway required to complete project equity raises, consolidate debt and strengthen valuation as the company moves towards production and becoming publicly listed. Frontieras’ technology extracts maximum value from coal and other hydrocarbons, including lignite, oil sands and waste plastics. Unique in the market for its innovation, Frontieras’ Solid Carbon Fractionation (SCF) is a significant leap-forward as a new energy-recovery technology that uses a continuous closed-loop refining approach. Frontieras SCF process splits coal and other feedstocks into gases, liquid hydrocarbon fuels and technical carbon at a much lower carbon footprint and far lower price than conventional refining. Moreover, its technical carbon is a suitable replacement fuel for coal plants that reduces the emissions profile to that of a similar sized natural gas plant. By deconstructing the coal to its core elements, Frontieras has the key components to produce net new products, including: Production of 2.3 barrels of liquid fuels from each ton of coal processed. Frontieras’ closed-loop process produces over 20 million-standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of hydrogen, used to treat the diesel to Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) finished fuel. Production of FASCarbon™, a metallurgical coke that serves as an injection replacement carbon for steel manufacturing or fuel for coal-fired plants that burns hotter and cleaner, with lower emissions. Production of sulfuric acid, a vital chemical commodity, and ammonium sulfate fertilizer, a high-value commodity, within the global agriculture market are two commodity products that result from Frontieras utilizing would-be waste products from Frontieras’ Solid Carbon Fractionation process. Today, Frontieras North America is an independent company that was formerly a subsidiary of Frontier Applied Sciences (FAS), a privately held entity formed in 2010. FAS holds patents on five continents that cover more than 3.7 billion people including the United States and Canada. Frontieras North America currently controls the licensing rights to the USA and Canada. Specifically, the West Virginia Frontieras’ FASForm™ plant will process 7,500 tons of coal per day, or 2.7 million tons annually. This West Virginia facility will utilize approximately 0.5% of the United States’ annual coal production. The combination of GEM’s equity commitment, Frontieras’ signed offtake agreements and futures contracts, as well as the anticipated high margin to service debt ratios provides the foundation for Frontieras raising $850 million to complete its initial FASForm™ plant in West Virginia. Frontieras is currently raising retail investment via its Reg. CF offering, while continuing to entertain equity interest at the commercial level and directly. Frontieras’ go-to-market finance strategy provides maximum flexibility to leverage structured finance and/or bond offerings to complete project funding. “GEM’s commitment in Frontieras represents a significant milestone for the company and an opportunity for every level of today’s investment community,” shared Matthew McKean, Frontieras CEO and Co-Founder. “The rapidly changing political landscape is shining a focus on the importance of energy and the capital markets are recalibrating their investment strategy toward the commodities and industrial technologies that support this necessity market. Frontieras is excited to align with GEM to bring abundant, available, and affordable energy to the market.” Market Opportunity Frontieras’ patented technology transforms coal and other hydrocarbons into a thermal fuel that burns as clean as natural gas, while extracting valuable by-products like hydrogen, diesel, jet fuel, fertilizer, industrial chemicals, and more. Market Potential: The annual global market for energy and chemicals exceeds USD 2.1 trillion, encompassing sectors like diesel, hydrogen, jet fuel, and more. Expansion Plan: The company is set to build a state-of-the-art facility in Mason County, West Virginia, with an investment of USD 850 million. This facility will create 200 full-time jobs and 2,000 construction jobs, boosting the local economy. Proven Track Record: With over USD 7 million raised from investors to date, Frontieras is already demonstrating strong investor confidence.

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.

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.

Bolt Metals Corp. (CSE: BOLT) Makes A Power Move: Strategic Acquisition Of Copper-Silver Assets Signals Expansion

Benzinga

By Gerelyn Terzo, Benzinga Commodities prices are hovering at their highest levels since April, owing to a perfect storm of geopolitical tensions and high demand. The gold price, in particular, has grabbed the spotlight, with market predictions targeting the $3,000/ounce level as investors seek portfolio diversification and a hedge against inflation. Not to be outdone, copper – one of the first metals used by humans – has been on the rise, too, amid a softening U.S. dollar that makes the price of the precious metal more attractive to international investors. Silver remains volatile but has struggled to break out of the $30/ounce area of late. One company that could be strategically positioned to benefit from these market dynamics is Bolt Metals (CSE: BOLT, OTCMKTS: PCRCF), a mineral exploration company with projects in gold, copper and silver underway. With over two decades of operating history behind it, Vancouver, B.C.-based Bolt Metals is no stranger to North American metals exploration. Led by a seasoned management team with mining and leadership experience, including CEO Branden Haynes, the company is pursuing expansion to capitalize on an evolving industry landscape that favors metals miners. Bolt Metals is preparing for greater drilling activity in the new year, and has said it will accelerate exploration initiatives in Montana, focusing on its 100% controlled, Soap Gulch property. The company feels the move is aligned with the incoming US government, which values domestic resource independence and economic growth. “The Trump administration’s focus on unleashing American energy and resource industries has created a pathway for exploration companies to play a pivotal role in securing the nation’s economic future. We are proud to align with this vision by prioritizing domestic exploration efforts that can lead to job creation, innovation and enhanced national security,” Haynes stated. If you’d like to see what all the excitement is all about, you can learn more about Bolt Metals’ mining assets here. Bolt Metals Growing Through Acquisition After announcing the strategic acquisition of what’s dubbed the Switchback Copper-Silver property, situated in British Columbia’s Omineca Mining Division, Bolt Metals has brought this deal full circle. In recent weeks, Bolt Metals has closed that transaction with 143 B.C., the previous owner of a beneficial interest in the assets. The cash and stock deal included the issuance of 4 million common shares to 143 B.C. investors coupled with a cash payment of $20,000 to the seller. The addition of this exploration-stage property could be a score for Bolt Metals, not least for its close proximity to Terrace, B.C. The property comprises eight contiguous mineral claims across 2,560 hectares (6,324 acres), boasting potential for highly coveted volcanic redbed copper, which is famous for its “scientific intrigue and economic significance,” as well as polymetallic copper-silver-lead zinc deposits. These deposits represent a geological formation comprising notable amounts of a combination of copper, silver, lead and zinc. The deal comes at a time when M&A activity has been on the rise in the metals and mining industry, as evidenced by a 15% year-over-year increase in deal volume in Q2 2024 across 358 transactions. Over the past decades, mining industry consolidation has been steady, owing to market dynamics, technological innovation, industry growth challenges and economic conditions. Last year, the metals and mining sector experienced nearly 2,700 deals with an overall value of $228 billion. State Of The Newly Acquired Copper-Silver Assets Now that Bolt Metals owns 100% of the Switchback Copper-Silver Property, it has published a technical report on the state of the assets. The company proactively issued the report to present a baseline overview of the property ahead of a further expansion planned for 2025 on the heels of a phase 1 exploratory program. Prepared by geoscientist Jeremy Hanson, the report advises the further exploration of the Switchback Copper-Silver Property, suggesting a trenching program to test the degree of surface mineralization within the structure. In doing so, the company hopes to gain a clear understanding of the property’s mineralization potential while also gaining necessary insights for upcoming drilling programs. So far, exploration on this property has involved mapping, sampling and drilling leading to results that consistently produce “significant anomalous areas and prospective targets,” noted in the announcement.
