News Release

Memeinator Raise Passes $6.5M as Presale Nears Final Stage

Memeinator

Memeinator is progressing towards the end of its ICO, having recently blasted past $6.5 million raised. Already in stage 19 of 20 and pricing in at $0.0276, the Memeinator team is optimistic that the presale is likely to sell out fast. The Memeinator storyline outlines how it's been sent from the year 2077 to rid the present day of derivative meme coins. This will be manifested in Memeinator’s upcoming ‘Meme Warfare’ game, where players embody the Memeinator as it blasts its way through enemy coins on its mission to scour the web of any coins it or the Memeinator community denounce as ‘weak’. The official game launches beta tests in Q2, exclusively for early adopters. Head of Product, Marco Tonetti, recently shared early designs for the game in an AMA, showing the ongoing work taking place behind the scenes. Tonetti, speaking on the latest developments, said: “It was great to be able to share some of the work we’ve been doing on the Memeinator game – we can’t wait to release a beta for community feedback. Our AMAs are always super fun and we like to sprinkle little bits of exclusive news in there too, so we always recommend dropping in. As our presale looks like it's about to sell out, all focus is on the game development and upcoming public trading for the MMTR token.” Memeinator (MMTR) is available to buy on the official site. Harnessing a Die-Hard Army and a $90 Billion Industry Memeinator’s community-centric focus has been a core part of its marketing strategy and no doubt helped propel the brand to where it is now - in the final stages of its presale. The brand has involved its community in its decision-making process through interactive AMAs, competitions, and surveys. It now has over 160k followers across its core social channels, and the project has reached more than 15 million people, according to the official site. The community has been involved in key decisions along the way, namely, the decision to execute an early start to Memeinator’s quarterly token burns. In December last year, nearly 130 million tokens were scrapped after a community vote. This cemented Memeinator’s commitment to deflationary tokenomics, and the team associates this with a surge in presale buys soon after. Complementing this momentum is the GameFi industry itself (predicted to be worth $38 billion as soon as 2028), a rapidly developing sector that the Meme Warfare game could help align Memeinator with - opening the doors to a global user base of crypto gamers. Memeinator: Perfectly Timed for Market Madness Beyond GameFi, the broader crypto market has gone into overdrive, creating the perfect opportunity for Memeinator to flourish. According to Cointelegraph, the crypto market’s bull cycle started last year in anticipation of several key factors that were expected in 2024, namely the Bitcoin halving. Memeinator’s planned public trading is set to land slap bang in the middle of this bullishness, and MMTR will look to ride this wave. The team hopes to see more investors purchasing Memeinator at a fixed price during its current stage 19 of 20 before transitioning to a market-determined price in public trading. Those who are interested can purchase MMTR for $0.0276 on the official website. About Memeinator Memeinator is the antidote to the hundreds of throwaway meme coins that lack any legitimate utility. With its deflationary token, engaged community, expertly crafted NFT collection, and AI-powered video game, it offers real innovation instead of just hype. Its purpose is to eclipse its rival meme coins. And, on the way, delivers value to its community via both trading its MMTR coin and staking, before smashing the $1 billion market cap.

Groundfloor’s CEO Brian Dally Shares How The Platform Appeals To Younger Audiences And Self-Directed Investors

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The world of investing looks drastically different than it did in the 1980s and it will likely look different in 2030 than it looks right now. One of the biggest changes is who is investing and what they are investing in. The Robinhoods (NASDAQ: HOOD) of the world have, in many ways, successfully democratized stock trading. Investment is no longer relegated to wealthy individuals with fund managers who are investing in Fortune 500 companies. Now, everyone can participate in individual stocks, ETFs or mutual funds, and it shows in the numbers – retail investor sentiment hit an all-time high in 2023, with individuals pouring a record $1.5 billion into stock markets each day in February 2023. Alternative investments are the other major shift in trading. Technology has evolved what people are investing in, and more and more opportunities are opening up for the everyday person, who can now also invest in alternatives like Bitcoin and real estate. Traditionally, real estate investment has been limited to those with significant financial resources and industry connections. It's one of the asset classes that the general public actually knows the most about, with over 64% of Americans owning property. But modern technology is breaking the glass ceiling on real estate investing – and a lot of that is due to fractionalization. Fractionalized real estate usually refers to the process of dividing ownership rights of a property into smaller, more affordable shares, allowing multiple investors to collectively own and profit from the property. Groundfloor is one of the real estate platforms leading the way in the fractionalized real estate investing space, offering investors a chance to fractionally participate in the loans offered to developers who renovate or build new homes – essentially serving as the bank. The company was founded in 2013, and its unique approach offers fractional real estate investing opportunities for both accredited and non-accredited investors, enabling them to access high-yield returns backed by real estate assets. With as little as $10, investors can participate in pre-vetted real estate loans, potentially outperforming traditional REITs. Groundfloor stands apart from private REITs with its transparent and fee-free structure, which establishes a direct connection between investors and their investments. The Groundfloor 3.0 auto-investing app allows investors to effortlessly diversify their portfolios across various projects, combining the convenience of technology with the stability of real estate investment. Brian Dally, the CEO of Groundfloor, shared with Benzinga in a recent interview that they “started the company because [they] thought that somebody would create a category-defining platform that opened up access for people to participate in this class of securities, in the same way that the wealthiest Americans, hedge funds, private equity funds or family offices do.” Groundfloor’s target audience is what the brokerage industry would call a self-directed investor, or as Dally eloquently puts it, “a vanguard.” The company is focused on attracting this type of investor, who can be anyone, but the key psychographic the company is witnessing is someone who wants to be in control of their future and money – and might have a general distrust of the public markets. Younger people, especially, are interested in investing, but Dally shares that they want to go about it on their terms and with platforms they trust. That’s where Groundfloor really stands apart from its competitors; the company was just recently awarded recognition on the Forbes Fintech 50 list. The goal of every investor is to get the highest dividend on their investment they can – Groundfloor reports it is using technology and the concept of fractionalization to get its customers a 10-12% annual return. And these smaller, self-directed investors seem to be taking notice. Dally shared, “Since 2018, we have financed our growth not with venture capital, not growth equity capital or private equity. We've financed it by offering stock to our customers. We now have 7,100 shareholders who own 31% of the company. We're incredibly proud of that. And that has made us a more resilient platform that has an army of people who don't just invest on the platform, but they're owners and they want the platform to be successful. They're going to defend it, and they're loyal to it, and they continue investing in it.” The company is currently incubating the next round of products it wants to bring to the mass market, through its Groundfloor Labs, which is open to accredited investors. Dally is hoping that by the end of 2024, they will be able to launch these products on the main site, available to everyone. Directionally, the company is looking to expand its product portfolio and offer more opportunities for people to invest in. As more and more investors are looking to fractionalization and alternative investment opportunities, Groundfloor may be a company to keep an eye on. Embrace the fractional future and start investing in real estate with Groundfloor today! Featured photo by Breno Assis on Unsplash.

The Cultivated B Introduces n!Biomachines: Fit-For-Purpose Bioreactors Designed to Easily and Affordably Scale Cellular Agriculture

The Cultivated B

The Cultivated B (TCB) today announced the name change of its Canadian subsidiary, now embracing a broader mission. Formerly called The Cultivated B Canada and located in Burlington, Ontario, n!Biomachines (pronounced “n factorial biomachines”) is dedicated to fulfilling the commercial scalability and viability potential of industrial cellular agriculture technologies across a number of product categories. Unlike over-engineered bioreactors that were designed predominantly for pharmaceutical use, n!Biomachines delivers affordable, easy-to-operate systems for the food, dietary supplement and cosmetics industries, offering sustainable solutions that consume remarkably low amounts of electricity, in some cases as low as 150 watts. The company’s AUXO V fit-for-purpose bioreactors are engineered to focus on single applications, such as animal cells or yeast. This streamlines complex processes and eliminates the operational clutter that multifunctionality typically brings to bioprocessing. The AUXO V’s revolutionary design benefits large-scale manufacturing by improving process efficiency and drastically reducing the level of expertise needed to operate a bioreactor. “The mathematical term, 'n!', or n factorial, acknowledges the core of our mission: scalability and multiplication, with respect to our bioreactor capacity as well as bioprocessing opportunities for our customers,” said Dr. Hamid Noori, CEO of n!Biomachines and The Cultivated B. “'Biomachines' refers to the revolutionary redesign of bioreactors to be useful across all industry sectors that want to step away from overengineered, overly complex equipment. The name n!Biomachines signifies our ambition to expand the applications of bioprocessing through affordable, sustainable and purpose-driven bioreactor design.” Unparalleled usability, increased automation and optimized operational and equipment costs define this new generation of bioreactors for benchtop-, pilot- and industrial-scale bioprocessing without compromising production quality, safety or efficiency. With an emphasis on rapid delivery and cost-effective design, n!Biomachines unlocks bioprocessing for new industries while accelerating growth and innovation for established sectors. “It became clear to us that cellular agriculture industry is at an inflection point where benchtop processes are quite well-proven, but scalability and commercial viability have yet to be sufficiently addressed,” continued Dr. Noori. “Our new bioreactor designs enable efficient processes and the faster delivery times needed to accelerate and integrate cellular agriculture as an additional pillar of our food production system. n!Biomachines is the answer to removing the bioreactor bottlenecks that currently prevent this emerging industry from scaling.” About n!Biomachines n!Biomachines, a subsidiary of The Cultivated B, specializes in developing and manufacturing fit-for-purpose bioreactors for the next generation of bioprocessing. It targets benchtop, pilot- and industrial-scale bioprocessing, ensuring high-quality, safe and efficient operations.

Generally, yes, you can access your money in a HYSA at any time. However, some accounts may have limitations on the number of free withdrawals or transfers per month. Exceeding these limits may result in fees or other penalties. How does a HYSA differ from a money market account (MMA)? While both HYSAs and MMAs typically offer higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts, MMAs often come with check-writing privileges or a debit card for easier access to funds. However, MMAs may also have higher minimum balance requirements compared to HYSAs. Do I need to pay taxes on the interest earned from a HYSA? Yes, interest earned on a HYSA is considered taxable income by the IRS. Financial institutions will typically send you a Form 1099-INT at the end of the year, which you'll need to include when filing your taxes. Understanding these FAQs about High Yield Savings Accounts can help you make more informed decisions about where to save your money and how to maximize your savings growth potential.
