That someone then went on to gain fame as Stan “The Man” Lee – and the world of comics and superheroes was forever changed. Stan Lee was a towering figure in the industry, creating classics like Spiderman, Iron Man, Black Panther and many others. His legacy is everywhere and central to the world of superheroes. As of November 2023, the Marvel Cinematic Universe had earned more than $29 billion, making it the biggest movie franchise ever. While Stan Lee has passed, the world he created is long-lasting and is showing no signs of slowing down. Kartoon Studios (AMEX: TOON) is one of the global companies working hard to keep Stan Lee’s vision alive. It is a global company specializing in creating, producing, distributing, marketing and licensing entertainment brands. With a diverse portfolio of original animated content, including popular shows such as Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten, Shaq's Garage, Rainbow Rangers and Llama Llama, Kartoon Studios seems to have established itself as a prominent player in the entertainment industry.

We are confident this program has the capacity to significantly grow Stan Lee Universe both in the U.S. and globally.” In a divided world, Stan Lee’s pen often brought communities together. Stan Lee is well-known throughout the industry as someone who not only created amazing stories of heroes triumphing over evil but as someone who decried injustices in real life. The legend spent a lifetime condemning racism and creating characters that every little boy and girl could relate to, regardless of their background and heritage. Kartoon Studios is firmly intent on keeping Stan Lee’s legacy alive. The company has also announced the launch of the " Stan Lee Presents " channel on YouTube. With a subscriber count of already over 300,000, this newly rebranded channel, previously known as "Cinematica," will be managed by Frederator Networks, a subsidiary of Kartoon Studios and one of YouTube's largest animation networks. “Stan Lee’s immense creativity, his relatable characters, and his groundbreaking storytelling style had a significant global influence on the world of entertainment and pop culture, from Star Wars to The Simpsons.

Ripple CEO's Claims Crypto Market Will Explode to $5T; Polkadot and KangaMoon Steal the Show

Kangamoon

The Ripple (XRP) CEO recently said that the crypto market value is on track to reach $5T. This has made traders scramble to get into the crypto market. Two altcoins have captured the spotlight in this space - Polkadot (DOT) and KangaMoon (KANG). While you may be familiar with DOT, KANG is a Stage 5 presale star that may surge by 50x in 2024. Ripple (XRP) CEO: Crypto Market To Double in Size The CEO of Ripple (XRP), Brad Garlinghouse, predicted that the cryptocurrency market's cap could exceed $5T before the end of this year. In an interview with CNBC, the Ripple CEO cited macroeconomic factors such as the first US Bitcoin spot ETF and the upcoming BTC halving event as reasons for this growth. The Ripple crypto value has fluctuated between $0.62 and $0.60 in the past 30 days alone. Its market cap fell from $34.10B to $33.40B during that time. However, the technical analysis for Ripple paints a bullish picture. For instance, there are 25 green technical indicators for this altcoin. Due to all this bullish Ripple news, analysts foresee a growth to $0.87 within Q2 of 2024. Polkadot (DOT): Active Addresses Reach 600K – a New Record Meanwhile, Polkadot (DOT) is another altcoin that has been making headlines. In other words, Polkadot recently announced that its activity continues rising. For example, there are now over 600,000 on-chain active addresses on the Polkadot blockchain. This Polkadot news may trigger a rally for this crypto, which has grown in value from $6.21 to $9 over the past 12 months. Its market cap surged from $7.30B to $12.68B in that period. Additionally, the Polkadot crypto trades above its 50 and 100-day EMAs. As a result, experts in the crypto field predict DOT will hit $12.84 before Q2 of 2024 ends. KangaMoon (KANG): To Top the Best Altcoin List Amid Ripple and Polkadot gaining traction, KangaMoon (KANG) has emerged as one of the best altcoins to buy. This rising presale star has already raised over $4.4M, and projections hint at a growth to $5M before April 2024 ends. Not only that, it has already provided early buyers with a 290% ROI—a stellar performance for a presale. This altcoin's long-term growth potential is stellar since it will tap into the P2E gaming sector, which has been projected to reach $885M. KangaMoon is getting ready to introduce a P2E game where its native token, KANG, will be the main in-game currency. KANG holders will access weekly, monthly, or quarterly challenges and earn more tokens or in-game assets. Another exciting aspect of KangaMoon is its community-driven focus. For instance, KangaMoon will give the most active community members free KANG before its launch. Therefore, over 20,000 registered community members now like and share KangaMoon's social media posts. Currently, this altcoin costs just $0.0196 as it is in Stage 5 of its presale—a big increase from its starting price of $0.005. If things keep on going up, analysts expect a 50x surge once KANG is listed on a Tier-1 CEX in Q2 of 2024. Due to all these reasons, KANG is one of the best altcoins to watch in 2024. Will KangaMoon Surge Faster than Ripple and Polkadot? KangaMoon can potentially surge ahead of other altcoins like Ripple and Polkadot. This is because KANG has a low market cap of $19.6M, which means it requires way less money for its price to increase. If you are interested in this altcoin, follow the links below and get a 10% bonus. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!

MYBUNDLE DATA SHOWS BUNDLING STREAMING CREDITS WITH BROADBAND REDUCES STREAMING SERVICE CHURN BY UP TO 50%

MyBundle

MyBundle, the premier online platform connecting consumers, streaming services and broadband providers, today released company research data indicating that bundling streaming credits with broadband service reduces the first-year monthly churn rate for SVOD streaming services by up to 50% when compared to leading industry research firm Antenna’s reported industry average monthly rate of 8.6%.* For the analysis, MyBundle examined streaming service purchase data from approximately 300 subscribers to Norvado’s 1 Gig fiber PickME Plan Internet broadband service, which includes $20 in monthly streaming credits bundled using MyBundle's innovative Streaming Choice program. After 12 months, the monthly churn rate of streaming services was approximately 4.3% using the same methodology as Antenna’s “State of Subscriptions – Premium SVOD” study from February 2024. Both studies used a weighted average of monthly churn consumers in year one of their respective subscriptions. “The concept of bundling content and connectivity is nothing new to the broader business of media and entertainment, however with this yearlong MyBundle research we now have strong empirical data that bundling streaming purchases with broadband works,” said MyBundle Co-Founder and CEO, Jason Cohen. “New customer acquisition is still important for streaming services, but reducing churn is now a close second priority. It’s still early days for MyBundle’s Streaming Choice, but while the benefit to broadband providers is noteworthy, a potential 50% reduction in streaming service monthly churn is remarkable - a possible game-changer for streaming services.” 21 of MyBundle’s nearly 230 broadband partners are already offering Streaming Choice. Constructed first in 2022 with a flexible approach for its growing broadband partner network, MyBundle’s Streaming Choice program is designed to meet the varied needs and goals of ISP partners, while maximizing consumer satisfaction. Streaming Choice campaigns deployed by MyBundle’s broadband partners are all bundled with an Internet tier offer and include: a) one-time or monthly recurring streaming credits, b) preselected streaming service(s) for a fixed period of time, or c) consumers selecting the streaming service(s) of their choice for a fixed period of time MyBundle offers an integrated billing platform and co-branded streaming video tools and services for broadband and multichannel video providers. Sitting at the cross-section of consumers looking to explore and optimize their streaming service subscriptions, broadband providers looking to deliver choice to current and prospective customers and streaming services looking for efficient ways to reach and retain new customers, MyBundle reduces friction and increases satisfaction for the ever-growing and dynamic streaming video ecosystem.

Analyst Wick Hints a Bitcoin Cash Comeback, KangaMoon Nears $4.5M, As Stacks Dips

Kangamoon

In a recent development, Crypto Analyst Wick sheds light on predictions for Bitcoin Cash during a compelling episode of the widely-followed Trading Alpha show. His analysis echoes sentiments expressed in previous discussions, prompting a closer examination of the current trend, particularly Bitcoin Cash's bullish stage 2 structure. Meanwhile, Stacks (STX) faces uncertainties as recent fluctuations spark concerns. On the horizon, KangaMoon (KANG) emerges as a top pick for the next bull run cycle, dazzling with a 290% surge and innovative features. As its community expands, analysts foresee a promising trajectory, solidifying KangaMoon's status as a crypto gem for 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): The Next Big Thing in April 2024? An upriser in the meme coin market, KangaMoon (KANG) has impressively risen above the majority of its peers. Among the multitude of new launches, KangaMoon stands out with its innovative features and remarkable performance during its ongoing presale phase. With over $4.2 million raised in presale funding, KangaMoon has captured the interest of investors seeking entry into its network. The surge in value of the KangaMoon token has been nothing short of remarkable. Within a few weeks of commencing its presale, the price of the KANG token has skyrocketed by an astounding 290%, climbing from an initial offering price of $0.005 to $0.0196 in the fifth stage. This rapid increase in value underscores the growing confidence in KangaMoon's vision and its potential to disrupt the meme coin space and the broader crypto market. With its unique blend of SocialFi and GameFi’s Play-to-Earn model, users can earn rewards in KANG tokens by participating in various battle contests and periodic social challenges.

Meanwhile, analysts are optimistic about KangaMoon’s future, and predict it to surge at least 20X before the end of the year, thereby positioning it as a top crypto coin to watch in the coming months. Crypto Analyst Wick Suggests Predictions for Bitcoin Cash Price Crypto analyst Wick recently shared insights on Bitcoin Cash during a recent episode of the popular Trading Alpha show, echoing sentiments expressed in prior discussions. Now, the focus is on whether the current trend, marked by a bullish stage 2 structure, will hold. In the weekly price chart, Bitcoin Cash token reflected a little above 18% increase, trading from $557.3 to $699.9. Meanwhile, investors are eagerly watching for any shifts in market dynamics, ready to react accordingly. With significant potential movement ahead, all eyes are on Bitcoin Cash as it navigates this critical phase. With these projections, investors are closely monitoring whether Bitcoin Cash price will possibly cross the $700 price mark in the coming week. Stacks: Analysts Projection for the Road Ahead Stacks (STX) has been on quite a run lately, but there are concerns about its price movements. While Stacks price reflects over 9% gain in the past month, going from $2.25 to $3.8, recent movements tell a different story. Just in the last week, the native Stacks token took a nearly 5% hit, dropping from $3.45 to $3.27. Now, there are signs of a bearish pullback, which could put a damper on the current excitement. The trading volume for Stacks network is slowing down, indicating less action in the market. Still, there's a chance it could turn things around, especially considering its tie-in with Bitcoin as a layer 2 technology. Some analysts are hopeful that Stacks price could even hit $6 and rank as a top cryptocurrency in the second quarter. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!
