How High Can Bitcoin (BTC) Go This Year? Pullix (PLX) Completes Development of Trading Platform Ahead of Token Launch

Pullix.io

As Bitcoin (BTC) surges through the $50,000 level, the community speculates how high the cryptocurrency can go this year. But the prospect of a new ATH isn't the only exciting news in the crypto world — Pullix (PLX) has just completed the development of its highly anticipated trading platform, setting the stage for its upcoming token launch. Let's dive into both topics and explore what they mean for the future of crypto. $50,000 Breakthrough: Analyzing Bitcoin's Momentum Bitcoin has rallied from the 2023 lows of under $15,000 to over $52,000 today as investor confidence soars. Such a dramatic climb has many wondering if Bitcoin can continue its ascent and break new records in 2024. It's worth pointing out that a 33% gain from today's price would push it over an all-time high of around $69,000. With a 15.30% in the last week alone, many experts believe Bitcoin could easily surpass these levels in the coming months. The Bitcoin surge in the last year can be attributed to the SEC's approval of a Bitcoin ETF, with roughly $250 million daily inflows into the fund. Such significant demand, combined with the limited supply of Bitcoin, is driving prices higher weekly. While the ETFs are incredibly bullish, other factors favor Bitcoin's long-term growth. For instance, the upcoming Bitcoin halving in 2024 is set to reduce the miner reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block, which would further decrease the coin's supply. Moreover, Bitcoin is being increasingly viewed as a hedge against inflation and an alternative to traditional assets like gold. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, recently stated that " Bitcoin is digitizing gold " and sees cryptocurrencies as a hedge against the devaluation of FIAT currency. With all of these bullish indicators, many experts predict that Bitcoin could reach anywhere between $100,000 ($2T market cap) to $300,000 this year ($6T market cap). Gold has a market cap of $13.50T, so if Bitcoin were to surpass $300,000, its market cap would be less than 1/4 of gold's. Pullix (PLX)'s Hybrid Exchange Model Pullix's platform is designed to bridge the gap between decentralized and centralized trading. It offers a hybrid exchange model that promises enhanced liquidity, superior security measures, and a user-friendly experience that doesn't compromise the autonomy of decentralized trading. One of Pullix's standout features is its non-custodial approach, ensuring that users retain control over their private keys and, by extension, their assets. There's also KYC-free trading, meaning users can start trading immediately without a lengthy verification process. Another benefit to using Pullix is the huge array of assets available for trading. While Binance and Coinbase offer cryptocurrencies, Pullix offers forex, stocks, ETFs, commodities, and more. This variety of options makes Pullix an all-in-one trading platform for beginners and experienced traders. The PLX Token Presale Opportunity The PLX token is set to redefine the utility of exchange tokens by offering "Trade-to-Earn" rewards, governance participation, and a share in the platform's revenue. This innovative approach incentivizes trading activity and aligns users' interests with the platform's success. The completion of Pullix's platform development comes at a crucial time when the crypto market is ripe with speculation about Bitcoin's potential highs this year. As new investors arrive in the market, Pullix's hybrid exchange model stands out above traditional centralized exchanges and decentralized protocols. The ongoing PLX token presale offers early adopters the opportunity to secure discounted tokens at just $0.14 before they are listed on exchanges. With a live platform demonstration available to the public, two trading licenses obtained and listings on both Bitmart and Uniswap, Pullix has the potential to become the next 100x token in 2024. For more information regarding Pullix’s presale see links below: Visit Pullix Join The Pullix Communities Pullix is a new DeFi protocol that is launching a hybrid exchange that will seamlessly blend the strengths of centralized and decentralized exchanges into one unified platform. Serving as the pioneer of “Trade-to-Earn” our native token $PLX empowers the community to earn a portion of the daily revenues generated by the exchange.

Price Rally for Cardano (ADA) and Uniswap (UNI) Signals the Start of Alt Season, Everlodge (ELDG) Prepares for Tier-1 Listing

Everlodge

Several tokens in the crypto market are experiencing bullish sentiments, which experts believe could be the start of the alt season. Some of these tokens on a rally include Cardano (ADA) and Uniswap (UNI). Meanwhile, following the end of the Everlodge (ELDG) presale, the token has been listed on Uniswap and looking forward to listing on other tier-1 exchanges. Its surging momentum has put it on the investor's list of top cryptos to invest in 2024. Everlodge (ELDG) Continues its High Sales Despite Conclusion of its Presale Phase Everlodge (ELDG) has continued to see a significant uptrend in the number of investors buying the token on Uniswap. As a result, the Everlodge project is looking to expand its reach by listing on other mainstream tier-1 exchanges in the coming months. Meanwhile, the increased buying by investors is tied to ELDG's massive potential for growth. Having already generated up to 190% ROI for early investors, ELDG is on course to oversee over 350% growth within the year. This makes ELDG one of the top cryptos to invest in 2024. For context, Everlodge is a platform that's looking to positively change the way individuals invest in real estate assets by making them affordable, secure, and profitable. To achieve this, Everlodge has created fractionalized NFTs, which are backed by multimillion-dollar real-world property assets from across the globe. As such, investors who buy these cheap fractionalized NFTs will co-own parts of luxury properties and benefit from the revenue that the properties will generate. With as little as $100, investors can purchase the NFTs that represent these properties. With this investment model, individuals will not need exponential capital before they can invest in real estate. As the value of these properties increases so will the NFT values increase. Meanwhile, the ELDG native token of the Everlodge ecosystem has been making waves in the market, having just concluded its presale phase. With its massive growth potential, investors are buying more ELDG to position for the potential price gains coming soon. At the price of only $0.022, ELDG represents one of the top cryptos to buy now for massive gains in 2024. Positive Price Trajectory for Cardano (ADA) Despite Dwindling Trading Volume Cardano (ADA) is on another round of bullish rallies, having witnessed a retracement in January. While the token has been on a rally in the past week, the Cardano trading volume has been on a negative growth in the same timeframe. For context, the price data from CoinMarketCap shows that Cardano has gained up to 10% within the last week. Meanwhile, the trading volume has been on a 30% decline on a day-to-day average since last week. While the declining market activity is a factor that might impede the growth of Cardano, experts believe the bullish momentum of the token will persist for the time being. As such, experts are predicting a 50% ROI from Cardano tokens before the end of Q2 of 2024. Will Uniswap's (UNI) Current Bullish Sentiment Propel it Above the Resistance Level? The price value of Uniswap (UNI) has been on a significant uptrend trajectory since the start of February. According to the market stats, Uniswap has gained over 16% in price value within the last week. This puts the token on the verge of matching its year-to-date price peak of $7.8, which it attained on December 29th, 2023. Meanwhile, the Uniswap trading volume has been on a decline in the past 7 days, thereby arousing fears of a potential bear trend for the token. Nonetheless, experts believe it is only a matter of time before the Uniswap token surpasses the $8 resistance level. For more information about Everlodge (ELDG) please visit their website.

Standard Chartered: Ethereum (ETH) Could Hit $4,000 By May – All Eyes on Dogecoin (DOGE) and KangaMoon (KANG)

Kangamoon

Following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, all attention turned to Ethereum (ETH). With the first spot ETFs for ETH expected by May 2024, Standard Chartered has predicted that the altcoin price could surge above $4,000. In other developments, Dogecoin (DOGE) has captured attention, with its network hitting a new milestone. Meanwhile, KangaMoon ( KANG ) is fast becoming the preferred meme coin in the crypto community thanks to its community-driven approach. Read on to find out more. Ethereum (ETH) To Hit $4,000 in May – Standard Chartered As the leading altcoin, a spot ETF for Ethereum (ETH) was expected to follow after Bitcoin got it. However, not many expected it to come just months after Bitcoin's ETF approval. Standard Chartered predicts that the US SEC will approve ETH ETFs in May. This expected clearance might significantly increase Ethereum's market value. According to reports, the bank projected a potential increase to $4,000 by May 23. With the Ethereum price hovering around $2,800, this rally could make it one of the top crypto coins to buy. Another factor that could influence the altcoin price is the recent Dencun upgrade. Dencun has gone live on two Ethereum testnets already. With the promise of reducing the cost of transactions for ETH L2 blockchains and making data availability cheaper, Dencun on the mainnet could spark a rally. Dogecoin (DOGE) Network Hits New Milestone, Analyst Expects Price Hike While its price performance hasn't met the expectations of investors, Dogecoin (DOGE) has been growing behind the scenes. The number of new addresses on the Dogecoin network reached a new high on January 29. According to data from IntoTheBlock shared by Ali Charts, users created 247,240 new Dogecoin addresses. This breaks the previous record of approximately 160,000 addresses set in 2014, shortly after the meme coin was launched. The network growth and recent price upswing have piqued the interest of crypto trader and analyst Crypto Patel. According to Patel, DOGE has formed a historic pattern last witnessed in 2021. Crypto Patel stated that if Dogecoin can replicate this incredibly bullish pattern, it may finally break above $1 for the first time. KangaMoon (KANG) Captures the Interest of the Crypto Community Amidst the growing positive sentiments of Dogecoin and Ethereum, KangaMoon (KANG) has become one of the most talked-about memecoins. KangaMoon has gained massive attention for attempting to do things differently in the meme coin space. The project represents the next generation of memecoins with its focus on utility as well as meme culture. KangaMoon is a social-fi project that aims to bring together the meme community under one umbrella. Not only will the project unite meme coin enthusiasts, but it will also create an opportunity for them to earn, adding more excitement to KangaMoon. KangaMoon will reward users based on their participation and activity within the ecosystem. The more you participate, the greater your earnings. Crypto experts have predicted that KangaMoon could become the next big meme coin, making it one of the top crypto coins to buy now. Many believe that KANG has the potential for a 100x surge in the 2024 bull market. With the altcoin price at just $0.005 per coin, now is the best time to join KangaMoon.

Argentina Is On Its Way To Dollarization And Here's How Gaucho Group Holdings (NASDAQ: VINO) Is Set Up To Capitalize

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Earlier in November, Argentina elected right-wing libertarian Javiar Milei as president; he ran on the promise of economic shock therapy, which resonated with voters. One of his biggest action items was to adopt the U.S. dollar and leave Argentina’s peso behind. This solution is seen by Milei’s supporters as a way to reduce the country’s runaway inflation and minimize the government’s overspending. While there is criticism of this plan, certain factions of the country support it full-heartedly. Some Argentinians have already adopted the U.S. dollar for domestic transitions like Airbnb rentals and even wages. Individuals in the real estate market have been supportive, especially as property prices are on the rise and there was a 53.3% increase in property deeds signed in October compared to the previous year. For some of these investors, dollarization equates to increased profit. Argentina’s Gaucho Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VINO), which focuses on luxury industries and luxury real estate, seems well-positioned to be a leader in the space as Argentina’s economy rebounds. Gaucho Holdings has been investing in the Argentinian market since 2007 and has long understood the power of dollarization. The company currently charges in USD while incurring expenses in pesos so that if dollarization comes to fruition, the company would be positioned to realize a potential hundreds of thousands per year in revenue increase. The global luxury market is witnessing growth in light of a resurgence of social interactions and travel. The global luxury market is expected to reach $1.6 trillion in 2023, witnessing 8-10% growth over 2022. Despite macroeconomic challenges, the luxury market has shown resilience, and companies like Gaucho Group Holdings seem to be gearing up for growth. Scott Mathis, Chairman and CEO of Gaucho Holdings, shared, "In the immediate future, spanning about 6 to 8 months, we anticipate a substantial benefit from our USD rates against our labor costs in ARS, which represent a significant portion of our expenses. However, looking ahead to the next 10 to 12 months, we expect these advantages might reduce or possibly even disappear as labor unions in Argentina are likely to seek wage increases in response to economic changes. Despite these challenges, the first 8 months should witness a positive economic impact due to President Milei's pivotal reforms. The year 2024 is shaping up to be challenging, yet it presents opportunities, particularly in the real estate sector, which is poised to become a key driver of economic activity. Additionally, the banking sector's role in offering reasonable lending rates will be crucial during this period. We are committed to playing a significant role in this dynamic and evolving economic landscape, contributing to and thriving amidst these transformative changes." Gaucho Holdings emphasizes a critical aspect of the potential benefits of dollarization in Argentina, particularly in the realm of banking and real estate financing. A significant shift would occur if Argentine banks transitioned from dealing predominantly in pesos to using U.S. dollars. This change could pave the way for the reintroduction of traditional lending practices, including mortgages, which are currently almost non-existent in the country. In Argentina's current economic landscape, real estate transactions are predominantly cash-based. This is a concept that often seems foreign to Americans and Europeans, who are accustomed to financing such purchases through mortgages. Gaucho Holdings posits that allowing banks to offer lending in U.S. dollars could revolutionize the Argentine real estate market. It would not only provide a more accessible path for property acquisition but also potentially lead to a stabilization of the currency. The implications of this shift could be profound. By facilitating easier access to property ownership through bank lending, there could be a significant increase in real estate values. Gaucho Holdings suggests that the impact on the real estate market could be stratospheric, marking a transformative change in how properties are bought and sold in Argentina. Gaucho Holdings has emerged as a prominent player in the Argentine real estate market due to its strategic entry, well-established operations and diverse portfolio. Backed by a highly experienced management team, the company possesses a deep understanding of the market dynamics. With a focused mission to identify and cultivate opportunities in the undervalued luxury real estate sector of Argentina, Gaucho Holdings stands at the cusp of potential success amidst the recent political and socioeconomic changes in the country. If Milei can make good on his promise of dollarization, Gaucho Holdings is confident that profit will follow.

Gordon Ramsay-Backed, Mission-Driven Borealis Foods Goes Public

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga There is an undeniable, growing need for access to nutritious, high-protein meals at an affordable price in our society. With the rise in health concerns and the importance of a well-balanced diet, not to mention higher grocery bills, many Americans are struggling to meet their dietary needs. According to a recent survey, 1 in 8 American households struggles with malnutrition and food insecurity. This issue is especially prevalent in marginalized communities where poverty and issues like food deserts contribute to the issue. The issue is not just domestic. The global population is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, and as it stands, the current food production systems cannot support that many people. Conflicts in places like Ukraine and the Middle East have created restricted global food supplies, driving up prices, and presented a major threat to vulnerable segments of the population like children and the elderly. One of the ways scientists are looking to remedy this issue is through the promise of innovative solutions like food tech to solve rising concerns around global food insecurity. Food tech involves leveraging innovative techniques, tools and infrastructure to enhance food composition, production efficiency, sustainability and safety. One pioneering company making strides in food tech is newly publicly listed Borealis Foods (NASDAQ: BRLS), led by founder and CEO Reza Soltanzadeh. The company focuses on high-quality, plant-based, shelf-stable meals containing complete protein with all essential amino acids and other key ingredients. There has certainly been a trend towards healthy food, as seen with the success of Simply Good Foods (NASDAQ: SMPL) and its healthy offerings. With all the advanced science in Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) products, price point has been a concern, and Borealis reports it has found a solution for the price point – offering more accessible products. So far, its efforts have focused on creating ramen, which is one of the most popular foods with 121 billion servings in 2022. Those instant packs of noodles that recall college dorms and kettles of hot water are the single most eaten food on the planet. Consumed by over 7 billion people, ramen represents both the scale of demand and potentially also the solution to a hungry planet. “Global and humanitarian food programs are in desperate need of help from companies like ours to help solve this issue,” said Soltanzadeh. “With food science, world class manufacturing, and the aspirations of many dedicated people, we’re on that path.” Soltanzadeh added, “Finding solutions to deal with malnutrition, for the people who need it most, has been at the front and center of our mission. We continue to develop meals that offer the highest quality protein and the right amount of fiber, while eliminating saturated fat content. In our experience, healthy food isn’t always the tastiest. However, with Master Chef Gordon Ramsay inspiring our culinary science team, our healthy food is also deliciously made. We believe food is meant to be enjoyed and celebrated.” World-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay, an investor and brand ambassador, previously shared, "With the current cost-of-living crisis on everyone's minds and rising food prices being a worldwide problem, now more than ever, households across America face the very real issue of food insecurity. In conversation with Reza, I discovered we share a similar vision on how important it is to make nutritious and delicious options that are readily available, and more importantly, affordable. I've already got some big ideas, and I'm really looking forward to collaborating with the Borealis Foods team on their Chef Woo products in the coming months." Influencer-driven marketing has proven quite successful with brands such as PRIME energy drink (Logan Paul x KSI), Teremana Tequila (Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson), and Feastables (Mr. Beast), and Borealis has that at the centerpiece of their marketing strategy. Borealis Foods began trading on NASDAQ under the symbol BRLS on February 8, 2024. This achievement marks a key step in the company’s expansion – with the company having only been set up in 2019 – manufacturing plant-based instant noodles from a state-of-the-art U.S. factory in Saluda, South Carolina. Borealis Foods reports that its products are currently in over 20,000 stores across the United States, Canada and Mexico, and it recently began distributing products in Europe. In 2022, the packaged food market was valued at $181.3 billion, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 8% between 2023 and 2032. Consumer demand, paired with growing food insecurity, could position companies like Borealis Foods ideally to expand in the coming years. And Borealis Foods isn’t alone; Pitchbook estimated that in 2020, private equity invested $18.1 billion in food tech-related companies which compares to less than $500 million in 2010. Food tech may very well usher in a new age of food production with higher-quality meals for people everywhere. As Soltanzadeh looks forward to developing new food solutions, he has a vision and a mission. “We’re just scratching the surface of the 70 billion dollar Total Addressable Market (TAM) that is growing by double digits. This is where the opportunity lies for Borealis.” Gordon Ramsay image property of Borealis Foods Inc.
