Crypto Price Round Up: DAI’s New Look, Will Meme Coins Popcat And Cutoshi Post New ATH’s?

Cutoshi

With investors searching for the next crypto star, Popcat, Cutoshi and Dai are stepping up to the plate. But among them, Cutoshi stands out, bringing DeFi utility to the meme coin game and giving investors more than just hype. Popcat Prints Yet Another ATH Popcat has been causing quite a stir, recently reaching a new ATH price of $2 this month. With a market cap now over $1.4 billion, POPCAT’s rise has been nothing short of electric. Popcat’s weekly price has held between $1.35 and $1.79 and if it can keep its position above key EMAs, the bullish momentum could just keep going. For fans and traders alike, POPCAT’s position at these levels means it’s still in the game, potentially setting up for another leg up. Sky’s Rebrand And Dai’s New Look In a major DeFi revamp, Maker Protocol has rebranded as Sky, aiming to make decentralized finance accessible and easy to navigate for everyone. And with this rebrand, the iconic Dai stablecoin has morphed into USDS, stepping up to take on the big players like Tether. Even Maker’s MKR token has a new identity: it’s now known as Sky (SKY). While Dai has held steady with a strong market cap above $5 billion, its price sits at $0.99, below its $1.22 all-time high. But USDS has gained some serious momentum, racking up $490 million in market cap in just five days. With this fresh rebrand, Sky’s USDS shows it’s here to win, taking its place among DeFi heavyweights. Cutoshi’s MemeFi Token Disrupts The Rallying Meme Coin Market While we are all familiar with the likes of Popcat, Cutoshi is an entirely new take on what a meme coin can be. With presale hype building, Cutoshi is gathering steam fast and with good reason: it’s a project tackling some real issues in crypto trading, such as security, privacy and that smooth experience people crave across exchanges. With Cutoshi’s non-custodial multi-chain DEX, you can now say goodbye to the hassle of jumping between blockchains; everything flows together, saving you time and keeping your assets safe. Cutoshi brings in community rewards through its proprietary farming system, where members earn for diving into community quests and activities. It’s a fun way to stay involved and see tangible rewards for engagement, creating a true sense of community. Plus, for anyone who wants to learn more about DeFi, Cutoshi’s got an educational platform. The CUTO Academy aims to become a full-on crash course designed to simplify DeFi and make it accessible to the man on the street. Cutoshi embodies DeFi values, such as freedom, anonymity, privacy and financial empowerment as it’s inspired by the wisdom of Satoshi Nakamoto. At the same time, Cutoshi also represents luck and prosperity through its mascot, the Chinese Lucky Cat, a timeless symbol of wealth in many homes, bringing it now to the world of blockchain. Now in presale stage three, CUTO is priced at $0.0259 and with its CoinMarketCap listing, limited supply and the buzz building up, Cutoshi is going viral.

Caregivers are the Heroes Among Us: Recognizing the Essential Role of Caregivers

YourUpdateTV

As our population ages, family health dynamics change, and healthcare complexities grow, the need for caregivers has never been greater. Yet, they often navigate their journeys in silence. In recognition of National Caregiver Month, Marvell Adams Jr., CEO of Caregiver Action Network, joined by caregiver Judy Krieg—who has cared for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease— conducted a satellite media tour sponsored by Lundbeck and in conjunction with D S Simon Media. Together, Judy and Marvell shared insights on the caregiver journey and highlighted the " I Care " campaign, which celebrates the resilience and dedication of these remarkable individuals. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/pa5cw0kC55A In the U.S., more than half of those providing care don’t recognize themselves as caregivers. As a result, many do not access the tools that can alleviate caregiving stress. That’s why it’s important to help individuals identify themselves as caregivers and connect them with resources that can help make a difference. This year, during 2024 National Family Caregivers Month, Caregiver Action Network highlights the importance of self-recognition and self-identifying as a caregiver - key factors in caregivers’ access to essential support. Identifying as a caregiver opens the door to the family caregiver support needed throughout their journey. During this month, Caregiver Action Network also focuses on empowering caregivers and reminding them they are not alone in this journey. With the proper support and tools, one can continue to provide care while taking care of themselves. As Judy shares, she wishes she knew she wasn’t alone in the caregiver journey and had known more about symptoms of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s dementia. Resources to Share During 2024 National Family Caregivers Month There are many free resources available through the Caregiver Action Network to help those providing care navigate their caregiving journey: • Caregiver Help Desk – Access free, personalized support for your caregiving challenges. • 10 Tips for Family Caregivers – Learn practical strategies for managing caregiving stress. • Take Care of Your Mental Health – Use a free depression screener from the Caregiver Action Network to monitor your emotional well-being. • Connect with Other Family Caregivers – Join the Caregiver Action Network Community to share experiences and receive support. • Share Your Caregiver Story – Inspire others by sharing your caregiving journey. • Take Advantage of Resources from the I Care… Nonprofit Partners For more information, visit www.CaregiverAction.org ### BIO: Marvell Adams Marvell Adams Jr. is a highly skilled advocate, educator, and leader. He has a lifelong commitment to serving caregivers, marginalized communities, and older adults. After a nationwide search, the Board of Directors unanimously appointed Marvell as CEO of Caregiver Action Network. Marvell has shown dedication to serving caregivers since high school. He became fascinated with Alzheimer’s disease while completing a biology report. He pursued his education at the College of Charleston, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Marvell later obtained a Master of Healthcare Administration specializing in Aging Services from the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. BIO: Judy Krieg Judy Krieg lives in Jackson, Michigan and assumed the role of caregiver for her parents when they began showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (Mother) and Vascular Dementia (Father). Caring for two parents at once was physically and emotionally challenging. She became their Power of Attorney, attended medical appointments, moved them to assisted care and made them comfortable until they passed in 2020 and 2021. Judy’s mother displayed several agitation symptoms, including irritability, swearing, resisting help, and hoarding, and in addition she threatened suicide - making caregiving especially difficult. Despite an extensive career in pharmaceutical sales, focused on neuroscience, there was still a lot she didn’t know about being a caregiver. Judy is now a cheerleader and advocate for others who may be caring for a loved one and need support like she did.

Why Cutoshi The Viral Sensation Adopting Satoshi Nakamoto's Teachings Is Trending Globally Alongside BTC And DeFi

Cutoshi

As Cutoshi trends on X for the second time this month, Bitcoin also trends as it hits fresh all-time highs of $98,300. Why Is Cutoshi Trending? On November 20th, Cutoshi’s native token $CUTO hit the number one trending spot on X, with BTC and DeFi. As the coin makes it to the top spot of X for the second time this month. The team has many inspirations and that’s the work and ethics of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi stood for privacy, decentralization and financial autonomy and that’s exactly what Cutoshi is giving to people. So What Will DeFi Look Like With Cutoshi? Cutoshi’s plan is to leverage the mass appeal of memes to bring new people into the fold of crypto investing, trading, DeFi and the Cutoshi ecosystem. The next step is to make DeFi fun and easy to use. Currently, over 2000 community members are participating in token farming, which will result in airdrops, a big part of DeFi over the last few years. After that comes the Cutoshi DEX, currently in development. This will be easy to use, especially due to its cross-chain capabilities. This is important since bridging across blockchains can be daunting and risky, even for those competent in DeFi. The DEX will also offer peer-to-peer trading for true anonymity, another important part of the ethos of Nakamoto. Other features will include the possibility to stake and provide liquidity, essential features for decentralized exchanges, which rely on automated market makers and liquidity pools rather than CEXs order book styles. What Good Is All Of That If People Don’t Understand How To Get Involved? That is the question that prompted the Cutoshi team to start creating an education platform. Keeping with the meme style of Cutoshi, this will be fun and easy to learn with, to encourage people to get involved whatever their experience or skill levels. Early community members are in line to be eligible for a limited edition set of NFTs that will be beautiful but also functional, providing DeFi-based utility within the ecosystem. What’s Next For The Project? In the short term, Cutoshi has its sights set on $1 million in funds raised in the presale. With approximately $65k to go before this milestone is hit. Cutoshi will continue to raise funds and build the DeFi ecosystem while the price increases throughout the presale. They will continue their marketing efforts as the project and community build hype. The project is then set to launch on a DEX and later on a tier 1 CEX. If previous meme coins that have DeFi functionalities (e.g. SHIB) are anything to go by, this could be a presale that brings massive gains.

The Rise of Online Casinos: How Technology is Changing the Gambling Landscape

Acroud Media

The gambling industry has undergone a significant transformation over the past few decades, largely driven by advancements in technology. Online casinos have emerged as a major player in this evolution, offering a convenient and immersive alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar establishments. This article explores how technology is reshaping the gambling landscape and the factors contributing to the rise of online casinos. The Advent of Online Casinos The inception of online casinos dates back to the mid-1990s, with the launch of the first internet-based gambling platforms. These early versions were relatively basic, offering a limited selection of games and rudimentary graphics. However, they laid the groundwork for what would become a booming industry. Today, online casinos offer a vast array of games, from classic table games like blackjack and roulette to a myriad of slot machines and live dealer experiences. Technological Innovations Driving Growth Several technological advancements have played a crucial role in the rise of online casinos: 1. High-Speed Internet: The proliferation of high-speed internet has made it possible for players to enjoy seamless gaming experiences without the lag and interruptions that plagued early online casinos. 2. Mobile Technology: The advent of smartphones and tablets has revolutionized the way people access online casinos. Mobile apps and responsive websites allow players to gamble on the go, making it more convenient than ever to place a bet or spin the reels. 3. Live Dealer Games: One of the most significant innovations in online gambling is the introduction of live dealer games. These games use real dealers and live-streaming technology to replicate the experience of a physical casino, providing an immersive and interactive experience for players. 4. Virtual Reality (VR): VR technology is beginning to make its mark on the online gambling industry. VR casinos offer a fully immersive experience, allowing players to explore virtual casino environments and interact with other players in real time. 5. Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies: The integration of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies has introduced a new level of security and transparency to online gambling. Players can now make transactions using digital currencies like Bitcoin, ensuring faster and more secure payments. The Appeal of Online Casinos The rise of online casinos can be attributed to several factors that appeal to modern gamblers: • Convenience: Online casinos offer unparalleled convenience, allowing players to gamble from the comfort of their homes or on the go. This accessibility has opened up the world of gambling to a broader audience. • Variety of Games: Online casinos provide a vast selection of games, often surpassing the offerings of traditional casinos. Players can choose from hundreds of slot machines, table games, and live dealer options. • Bonuses and Promotions: Online casinos frequently offer generous bonuses and promotions to attract new players and retain existing ones. These incentives can include welcome bonuses, free spins, and loyalty programs. • Privacy and Security: Many players appreciate the privacy and security that online casinos offer. Advanced encryption technologies ensure that personal and financial information is protected, providing peace of mind for users. Challenges and Future Trends Despite their popularity, online casinos face several challenges. Regulatory issues and concerns about problem gambling are significant hurdles that the industry must address. Ensuring fair play and preventing fraud are also ongoing challenges that require constant vigilance and technological innovation. Looking ahead, the future of online casinos appears promising. Continued advancements in technology, such as the development of more sophisticated VR experiences and the integration of artificial intelligence, are likely to further enhance the online gambling experience, especially at new online casino sites. Additionally, as more countries adopt favourable regulations, the global reach of online casinos is expected to expand. Conclusion The rise of online casinos is a testament to the transformative power of technology. By leveraging advancements in internet connectivity, mobile technology, live streaming, and blockchain, online casinos have created a dynamic and accessible gambling environment. As the industry continues to evolve, it will be fascinating to see how technology further shapes the future of online gambling. Contact Details Acroud Media info-media@acroudmedia.com

High Roller (NYSE: ROLR) Debuts On NYSE Amid Double-Digit Quarterly Revenue Growth

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Online gambling seems to be here to stay thanks to growing internet usage, legalization, cultural acceptance and celebrity endorsements. It’s a large market – in 2022 it was valued at $63.53 billion. By 2030 it is forecast to hit $153.57 billion. That isn’t lost on High Roller Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ROLR), the online gaming company going after the premium end of the market. Late last month it went public on the New York Stock Exchange, selling 1.25 million shares and raising gross proceeds of $10 million. It could sell 187,500 more, and underwriters have a 45-day option to purchase additional shares. IPO proceeds could give High Roller enough runway to continue to attract high rollers to its gaming sites. Going After The Premium Players High Roller isn’t the only online gaming company capitalizing on the growth in the marketplace, but it is carving out a niche for itself by targeting “high rollers.” These are hardcore, serious players who strive to win big and tend to spend more time and money on these platforms than casual gamers. It's a coveted group, and High Roller is pulling out all the stops for it. Take its offering for starters. Highroller.com provides access to hundreds of games, including classic casino games, fruit slots and high-stakes online slots from well-known online game providers. With the chance for 20% cashback on bets, generous bonuses, exclusive sweepstakes and a personal account manager, Highroller.com aims to offer customers seeking a premium experience everything they need to achieve that. In 2023, the company says it doubled its user base to over 50,000 players, and more growth is expected in 2024. Meanwhile, Fruta.com, which soft-launched in December 2023 and debuted fully in June, is High Roller’s online gaming site for the Latin American market. Just like Highroller.com, Fruta offers users in Latin America access to a wide range of games with enticing jackpots. Players can engage in slots, roulette, blackjack and several other types of games, have the chance to receive up to 20% weekly cashback, engage in live tournaments and cash drops and participate in wager races and giveaways. High Roller says the Latin American region provides a big opportunity for the company, given what it sees as an untapped total population of over 670 million, with widespread internet adoption and an appetite for online entertainment. A report released by Vixio Regulatory Intelligence projects Latin America’s regulated online gambling market to quadruple in size and reach $6.75 billion in annual revenue by 2027. But it’s not just the number of users that are growing. For the third quarter, High Roller reported revenue of $7.52 million, a 30% quarter-over-quarter increase from $5.8 million. “This significant quarter-over-quarter revenue growth reflects the success of our pre-IPO strategy, focused on cost optimization and efficient marketing channels with strong returns,” said Ben Clemes, CEO of High Roller Technologies. The company plans to file its third quarter form 10-Q on or before Dec. 5, which is within the 45-day requirement after filing for an IPO. That filing will have more details about revenue and expenses for the third quarter. Premium Focus Paying Off High Roller’s focus on premium customers is also paying off in terms of loyalty, with the company recently winning the Best Player Retention 2024 award at the SiGMA Europe B2C Awards, which recognizes companies in the igaming market. High Roller said the award, “a hallmark of excellence in the gaming industry,” underscores the company’s commitment to building a loyal, engaged player community. “We are thrilled to receive this recognition,” said Clemes. “The Best Player Retention award is a testament to High Roller's innovative approach to player satisfaction and retention strategies. By focusing on creating meaningful experiences and personalized engagement, we continue to set new standards in building long-term relationships with our players.” High Roller’s debut as a public company comes at a time when the IPO market is heating up, lifted by improving inflation, interest rate cuts and an overall increase in enthusiasm on the part of investors. Smaller deals, like High Roller’s IPO, are helping fuel the growth.
