EcoAi Coin: A Sustainable Digital Token For A Greener Planet

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Environmental sustainability is a topic garnering more and more attention (and concern), which leaves innovative approaches to fostering greener, more sustainable practices highly valued. The ECOAI Coin initiative is one such innovation, creating an economic system designed to reward individuals and organizations for their sustainable actions. This digital token aims to build a symbiotic relationship between ecology and economy by incentivizing positive environmental behaviors. How The ECOAI Coin Works The ECOAI Coin operates on a simple yet effective principle: perform sustainable actions, earn ECOAI Coins. These actions can range from cycling to work, choosing meat-free meals, recycling or even attending educational workshops on sustainability. Each action is verified through a tailored web-based app and earns participants ECOAI Coins, which are stored in a digital wallet. However, the appeal of ECOAI Coin doesn't just stop at earning; it extends to spending. The ECOAI Coin marketplace offers a diverse range of products and services that embody sustainability. Participants can use their coins to access circular products (items kept in the economy without using new virgin resources), eco-friendly experiences or even rent a Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) for the weekend. The marketplace not only provides an avenue to spend earned coins but also encourages a continuous engagement with sustainable practices by offering discounts on environmentally friendly items and services. The ECOAI Coin Marketplace And Incentives The ECOAI Coin initiative creates a robust marketplace and serves as a hub for the circular economy, promoting the reuse and recycling of resources as opposed to the make-consume-throw away model generally practiced today. It includes exclusive content, upcycled products like water bottles and opportunities to engage in eco-friendly activities such as attending music festivals with a green agenda. The system incentivizes individuals by making sustainable choices rewarding but also assists organizations and municipalities in reducing environmental footprints. By integrating the ECOAI Coin into daily activities and corporate operations, a broader adoption of green practices is encouraged, thereby fostering a culture of sustainability within communities. The ECO Award Annually, the ECOAI Coin initiative goes a step further to recognize and honor those who have made significant contributions to sustainability through the ECOAI Award. This accolade celebrates individuals and projects that have shown exceptional dedication to enhancing our planet’s health. Past recipients include innovators like Yoyo Yogasmana, who shared sustainable farming techniques in Indonesia, and Dave Hakkens, known for his development of open-source recycling machines. The criteria for this award focus on community-driven projects that blend nature with technology and broadly share that knowledge, reinforcing the initiative's mission to collectively create a more sustainable world. The Future Of ECOAI Coin The ECOAI Coin initiative represents a promising shift toward integrating sustainability into the economic systems that drive daily life. By rewarding eco-friendly choices with a digital currency that can be spent on sustainable goods and services, it can potentially contribute to closing the gap between ecological responsibility and economic incentive. As the ECOAI Coin continues to evolve, its potential to expand and adapt to various community goals offers a scalable solution to one of the most pressing issues of our time: how to sustain our planet for future generations. Through its innovative approach, the ECOAI Coin sets a precedent for how money can contribute positively to the world, encouraging us all to take part in the movement for a greener earth.

Marti’s Ride-Hailing Service In Growth Mode, Reaches 788,000 Riders And Over 145,000 Registered Drivers – Company Revises June Target Upwards

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Marti Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: MRT), the leading urban mobility app in Türkiye, hit a major milestone earlier this month with more than 788,000 unique riders and over 145,000 registered drivers using its ride hailing service. Marti’s ride hailing service connects riders with drivers of cars, motorcycles, and taxis. Since the end of December, ridership has soared 58% while the number of drivers increased 36%. By June 30, 2024, Marti expects to grow even more and has increased its target from 850,000 unique riders to 900,000 while maintaining a target of 155,000 registered drivers. “The fast growth in both the rider and driver sides of Marti’s ride-hailing marketplace demonstrates the strong need for the service across Türkiye,” Marti said when announcing the growth in riders and drivers. “The service intends to provide readily available, safe and affordable rides for riders, while providing economic opportunities for drivers across the income spectrum.” Demand For Alternatives The ride-hailing market is taking off in Türkiye as consumers look for a convenient and affordable alternative to taxis. It's also being driven by local players like Marti who are gaining market share because they understand the unique needs and requirements of Turkish clients, such as accepting cash payments. Marti currently does not enable online payment for the service over its app or charge a fee for the service. A large portion of the Turkish population lives in congested cities and seeks ways to alleviate traffic jams and pollution. Ride-hailing services like Marti are seen as a way to combat that, and provide an easy way to navigate the cities. As a result, the ride-hailing market in Türkiye is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% between now and 2028. McKinsey & Company estimates the potential size of the Turkish ride-hailing market in 2030 at $15 billion to $20 billion. Leader In The Making? Recognizing that unmet need to help people in Türkiye get around, in 2019 Marti launched its super app and in less than five years has morphed into a leader in the marketplace. Not only does it match riders with cars, but it also has motorcycle-hailing and taxi-hailing services, and operates a large fleet of rental e-mopeds, e-bikes and e-scooters. All of Marti’s offerings are serviced by proprietary software systems and IoT infrastructure. Another claim to fame for this up-and-coming company is its New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) American stock listing, which Marti accomplished this past summer. It is relatively rare for a Turkish company to debut on a U.S. stock exchange, but Marti did exactly that after merging with Galata Acquisition Corp in July 2023 to become the first company from Türkiye to list directly on the NYSE. What sets Marti apart from other ride-hailing services and traditional taxis is its concentration throughout Türkiye, and in particular in Istanbul. With an unofficial population of over 20 million people, Istanbul is the largest city in Europe; bigger than cities like London, Paris, and Berlin. Of the company’s 145,000 registered drivers, more than 122,000 are in Istanbul. That compares to just 19,845 taxis operating in the city. That equates to 6.2 times more registered drivers than taxis serving the city. With widespread coverage across Istanbul, it's not hard to see why Marti is so popular. The company also says it takes care of driver safety, with Marti’s drivers undergoing formal background checks before acceptance into the service. Marti reports that the average rating of its ride-hailing drivers is 4.8 out of 5 stars. The ride-hailing market in Türkiye seems to be taking off thanks to companies like Marti, which saw a need and met it. With operations across Türkiye, Marti is in growth mode, with more of that expected in the months to come. Featured photo by Osman Köycü on Unsplash.

News Release

BTC Halving Could See Wild Volatility Swings -- ICOs Offer Steady Gains

RoundHouse Media

The world of cryptocurrency is bracing for a potentially volatile period after the recent conclusion of the highly-anticipated Bitcoin halving event. Completed on April 19th, the halving is a pre-programmed software update that cuts the number of new Bitcoins created in half. While historically, these halvings have been bullish for Bitcoin’s price, analysts are divided on whether this time is different. This article explores the potential for volatility surrounding the Bitcoin halving and introduces Galaxy Fox, the best upcoming ICO that is poised for significant growth in 2024. Bitcoin Halving: What’s at Stake? The concept of Bitcoin halving is fundamental to its design, occurring approximately every four years. This event cuts the rewards miners receive for validating transactions in half, reducing the rate at which new Bitcoin enters circulation. Historically, halving events have triggered significant price movements, often driving up demand and scarcity perception among investors. However, this time seems different. Analysts caution that much of the halving’s impact may already be priced into Bitcoin. The surge leading up to the event reflected anticipation rather than intrinsic value. Moreover, geopolitical tensions and broader market dynamics may have overshadowed the halving’s immediate effects on Bitcoin’s price. While halvings historically fueled bullish sentiment, the current landscape invites a more cautious outlook. Bitcoin’s history is replete with volatility, characterized by dramatic price swings driven by market sentiment, regulatory developments, and macroeconomic factors. The halving, though a significant event, is but one piece of the puzzle. As Bitcoin grapples with its narrative as a store of value or a speculative asset, investors must navigate the uncertainty with caution. For some, Bitcoin’s volatility presents opportunities for profit-taking and strategic entry points. Short-term traders may capitalize on price swings, leveraging technical analysis and market psychology to maximize returns. Conversely, long-term investors weather the storm, confident in Bitcoin’s potential to emerge stronger amidst market turbulence. Galaxy Fox: Navigating the Crypto Landscape Amidst Bitcoin’s volatility, Galaxy Fox emerges as a promising investment opportunity, offering stability and growth potential in a rapidly evolving crypto landscape. With its successful presale, raising over $6 million and selling 3.75 billion tokens, the best upcoming ICO Galaxy Fox has captured the attention of investors seeking innovative projects with tangible utility. Galaxy Fox’s integration into the web3 gaming sphere positions it at the forefront of blockchain gaming innovation. Its ERC20 token, $GFOX, has surged in value, reflecting market confidence in its utility and potential for widespread adoption. As this good crypto to buy gears up for its launch, investors eagerly anticipate its impact on the crypto market. Unlocking Potential with Galaxy Fox Galaxy Fox’s token listing last April 18 marked a significant milestone, signaling its readiness to disrupt the crypto landscape. With a clear roadmap and strategic partnerships, Galaxy Fox offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in the burgeoning blockchain gaming sector. Its staking options provide attractive returns, incentivizing long-term commitment and community engagement. What’s more, this best cheap crypto to buy right now has allocated 100% of its raised funds to the liquidity pool, ensuring smooth trading for investors on decentralized exchanges (DEX) like Uniswap. The game launch slated for May 11 promises to showcase Galaxy Fox’s technological prowess and gaming innovation. As excitement mounts, investors stand poised to reap the rewards of early adoption, positioning themselves for long-term growth and sustainability. Conclusion: Join the Galaxy Fox Community While Bitcoin’s halving event did result in volatility, opportunities abound for savvy investors seeking stability and growth. Galaxy Fox represents hope in a tumultuous market, offering steady gains and innovative solutions in the blockchain gaming space. As you navigate the crypto landscape, let us embrace the future with optimism and strategic foresight.

Symphony showcases its community innovations at flagship conference, including interoperability with Microsoft Teams

Symphony Communication Services

Symphony, the leading markets’ infrastructure and technology platform, will be interoperable with Microsoft Teams, it was announced at the company’s flagship event Symphony Innovate in New York on April 18th. The solution demonstrated two distinct capabilities to connect users on Symphony securely with Teams: connecting internal Teams users natively through Symphony’s directory and bi-directional chats with external contacts on WhatsApp, SMS and WeChat, through the embedded Symphony Connect app, complementing the firm’s existing video integration. Video. For the first time, Symphony showcased the power of AI when used with its Cloud9 Trader Voice product. The new generative AI-powered and AI noise-suppressed solution provides high-accuracy transcription and intelligence to voice trading interactions, extracting detailed analysis with models trained in trading floor jargon, informing strategic decisions, improving trader efficiency, and simplifying customer risk management. Through the use of AI, the solution supports deal tagging, allowing users to extract deal-related information from voice calls such as price, quantity, and asset class, to build a comprehensive, concise transaction summary. Symphony’s specialized language models are being used to identify relevant keywords, phrases, or context to mark a conversation as a deal confirmation call. Video. With the T+1 settlement cycle fast approaching, the operations directory showcased the ease of finding and connecting with peers, expediting issue resolution, and exception management on Symphony. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation took to the stage to help share Symphony’s embedded collaboration platform (ECP) integration with Central Trade Match (CTM), DTCC’s platform to allocate and centrally match transactions globally. This integration - currently being piloted - will allow users to communicate with counterparties directly, reducing context switching and manual data entry to streamline post-trade matching and confirmation, an important aspect of T+1. Video. Another five ECP use cases were shown on stage in a clear validation of the relevance of Symphony’s interoperability play to the industry. CEO Brad Levy said: “Innovate is the forum where Symphony’s industry-leading customers and partners get to showcase the innovations built on our platform. We are proud to be connecting people and companies in a distributed, flexible, and interoperable way, through the right tech stack and infrastructure.” He explained: “In a time where firms must choose to disrupt or be disrupted, Symphony has the right technology to drive innovation and move with precision in a time of uncertainty.” CEO keynote video.

Symphony has partnered with Umony, a telecommunications compliance specialist, to capture and archive mobile communications, while summarizing call transcripts, analyzing sentiment, and flagging compliance risks using Umony trained LLMs for true end-to-end, GenAI-powered communications compliance.

INSIDER BUYING: Vuzix (NASDAQ: VUZI) Executives Including CEO Snap Up Shares

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Vuzix Corp. (NASDAQ: VUZI), the maker of smart glasses and augmented reality (AR) products, seems to be off to a good start in 2024 with several potential big deals in the works for both its enterprise products and original equipment manufacturing projects. At the same time, the Rochester, New York-based smart glasses maker with more than 375 patents is in a judicious cost-cutting mode, reducing expenses, improving margins and extending its operational runway. "In 2023, Vuzix made important advancements in our product development, core optics technologies and manufacturing, all of which uniquely position Vuzix to play an important role in the expected to become multibillion-dollar AR smart glasses market," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix, when reporting full-year 2023 results. “We have a good book of business with identified opportunities, representing large potential deals and cornerstone customers for our enterprise products. And on the OEM side of our business, we expect to enter into several new projects with new and existing defense and consumer product-focused customers over the course of the year.” Insider Buying Signals Confidence Travers and other executives at Vuzix believe in the company not just as employees but also as investors. They have been showing their confidence in the company’s prospects by buying up stock during the past month. When insiders, namely CEOs, buy shares of their company, it signals executives have confidence in the business and/or think the stock is undervalued. It’s something investors pay close attention to. If insiders were selling shares rather than purchasing them, it could be a red flag that something is amiss. Based on Travers’ recent share purchases, he’s confident of the value Vuzix offers. On April 18, the CEO purchased 7,500 shares at $1.34 per share for $10,062. Days later, Travers was buying more, purchasing 14,500 shares at $1.25 each, for a cost of $18, 163. All told the CEO spent $28,225 to buy 22,000 shares over a few days. Meanwhile, director Timothy Heydenreich Harned purchased 20,000 shares on April 22 at $1.31 per share, totaling $26,188. The moves on the part of the executives demonstrate leadership’s strong confidence in the company’s future. After all, if they weren’t so upbeat about the company and thus its stock’s prospects, they wouldn’t spend thousands of dollars to increase their holdings. It's worth noting that Vuzix’s executives aren’t deterred by volatility in the stock either. Travers spent $1.34 per share one day and when he saw an opportunity to acquire more again when the stock fell to $1.25 per share, he pounced on the opportunity. Winning Deals, Making Tech Inroads There seem to be many reasons for executives expressing confidence in Vuzix, given its 20-plus-year leadership position in the smart glasses market and the growth potential of that industry. Vuzix reports that it pioneered workforce AR and still continues to have the industry’s most diverse portfolio of enterprise smart glasses, with form factors ranging from lifestyle (Vuzix Z100), to sporty (Blade 2), to safety (Shield), to industrial and medical (M series). All of their AR products offer users a portable, high-quality viewing experience, and they expect their product portfolio, OEM and display system offerings to continue to diversify. They are also operating in an industry poised for more growth. The global smart glasses market is forecast to reach $13.68 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2024 through 2031. Vuzix’s success with customers for its existing and future technology is another reason Travers and other executives are so optimistic. Consider its Incognito™ Waveguide Technology, which effectively conceals any forward-facing content displayed on smart glasses. Vuzix waveguides are renowned for their exceptional brightness, clarity and performance. They can accommodate larger fields of view (FOVs) and are adaptable to a diverse range of form factors. These waveguides necessitate a robust display engine specifically designed for this purpose. Consequently, has engineered and introduced the world's smallest and most advanced display engine, which is about the size of a pencil eraser and has been recognized in the media as the tiniest microLED projector available. Vuzix reports it is engaged with potential customers and development partners ranging from U.S. and international defense organizations to a number of well-known brands and OEM supply companies. Orders Continue to Flow Then there are its Vuzix M400 smart glasses. The company just received additional orders for the smart glasses from a Fortune 100 global retailer that is using the glasses to support its warehousing and logistic needs. The smart glasses are being used in multiple locations globally including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Vuzix reports that customers have continued to expand across an increasing number of their company locations since the start of 2024. This year is shaping up to be a busy one for Vuzix both on the enterprise and OEM fronts. So much so that executives, including CEO Travers, are buying up shares, signaling their confidence. With more news expected in the months to come, investors may want to pay close attention to what insiders do next. Featured photo by Sabri Tuzcu on Unsplash.

Michael Saylor Says Bitcoin Is Refreshing; KangaMoon Announces New Partnership While Pepe Soars

Kangamoon

Recently, Michael Saylor excited the crypto community with a new Bitcoin (BTC) tweet. Meanwhile, KangaMoon (KANG) announced a major partnership with RaidSharks. Many analysts hint that this Stage 5 presale star may become the next $0.5 meme coin in 2024. Another meme coin making headlines is Pepe (PEPE), recently listed on Coinbase. Michael Saylor With a Bullish Bitcoin Statement Bitcoin (BTC) has been making waves in the crypto market. Over the last week alone, the price of BTC increased from $63,785 to $64,431. The Bitcoin market cap surged from $1.26T to $1.28T during that time. The former CEO of MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor, stated that Bitcoin is refreshing. Many Bitcoin traders commented on this tweet and agreed with this statement. This Bitcoin news may cause a rally for this crypto. Regarding its technical analysis, over 15 technical indicators are now green. Additionally, the Bitcoin crypto is trading above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Thus, experts in the crypto field predict a potential rise to $84,321 for Bitcoin before Q2 of 2024 ends. KangaMoon (KANG): New Partnership With RaidSharks At the same time, KangaMoon (KANG) is a meme coin rapidly gaining popularity. It recently announced a significant collaboration with RaidSharks, which will help it cement its standing in the industry. With this development, KangaMoon players will experience thrilling raids and a $1,000 monthly pool. This partnership will help increase community engagement in this upcoming Play-to-Earn (P2E) game.

Pepe (PEPE): Now Trading on Coinbase After encountering technical issues, Coinbase announced that the Pepe (PEPE) perpetual futures contracts are now in full-trading mode.
