New Meme Coin Cutoshi Goes Viral Surpasses $1 Million Raised Overnight

Cutoshi

Being early on a low-cap gem that brings in massive price multipliers is what investors live for. The current meme coin landscape is seeing dozens of new projects released every day. However, very few of them survive the first major sell-off, as they have little to no substance backing them up. Cutoshi wants to flip the script by merging meme culture with DeFi functionality, which not only presents a real use case but also ensures that Cutoshi will thrive in the long run. Cutoshi, The Utility-Driven Meme Coin Revolution Cutoshi’s cuteness is backed by a state-of-the-art DeFi ecosystem that rivals other established protocols like Uniswap and Shiba Inu. With its focus on decentralization and privacy, Cutoshi upholds the values that inspired Satoshi Nakamoto to create Bitcoin and change the world forever. At the heart of the Cutoshi ecosystem is CUTO DEX, a non-custodial decentralized exchange that does away with the middleman. Users not only will retain complete control over their assets, but they also won’t have to compromise sensitive information. CUTO DEX integrates all major blockchains, which means that users can perform seamless cross-chain transactions for just 0.25% in fees. On top of this, Cutoshi will also offer a dedicated non-custodial multi-chain wallet. Users will be able to store and manage their assets privately and securely. How Cutoshi Brings Luck To The Blockchain Cutoshi pays tribute to the Lucky Cats from Japanese legends. These cats are displayed in stores and households as tokens of good fortune. Meanwhile, Cutoshi is quite literally a token of good fortune. Cutoshi wants to bring good fortune to early adopters. Cutoshi understands that communities make or break projects. This is why significant monetary rewards await investors who actively engage with the platform. Users will have the opportunity to earn a passive income stream by staking their $CUTO tokens or providing liquidity. Moreover, even if the presale is still ongoing, they can participate in the Cuto Farming initiative. They will be tasked with completing various missions and tasks aimed at boosting Cutoshi’s online presence. For their efforts, they will receive CUTO points that can be redeemed for $CUTO once the token launches. At the Cuto Shrine, they will have the opportunity to win daily prizes and other surprises that have yet to be revealed. Over 2,300 participants are already farming points and this number is growing by the day. Enter The Cutoshi Academy The crypto world can be quite overwhelming at times this is why the Cutoshi Academy was envisioned. This is one of Cutoshi’s most interesting features that further separates it from run-of-the-mill meme coins. The Academy is a learning hub that wants to lend a helping hand to crypto beginners. On this platform, newcomers will learn the basics of DeFi, trading and portfolio management. This initiative has already garnered great praise as it not only fosters a welcoming, inclusive environment but also champions worldwide crypto adoption. The CUTO Presale Currently, Stage 3 of the Cutoshi presale is underway and $CUTO sells for just $0.0259. This is a great entry point for early investors, as the price is likely the lowest it will ever be. Cutoshi’s ground-breaking reward mechanism, coupled with its innovative DEX, could lead to $CUTO outperforming many majors in the meme coin space. When taking into account all that this project has to offer, it could very well become one of the biggest surprises in 2025 once the bull run is in full swing.

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.

New Book Release: "The Kingfisher and the Crow” Offers Chilling Exploration of Murder, Politics, and Revenge

Kingfisher and Crow Book

In the wake of the contentious national election, debut thriller “ The Kingfisher and the Crow ” offers a chilling exploration of ambition, revenge, and the dark side of power. “The Kingfisher and the Crow” follows freshman Congressman Jerry Sharpe's insidious campaign to destroy Mildred Hawthorne, the matriarch of one of the nation's most powerful families. Sharpe's plan starts with the gruesome murder of Hawthorne's firstborn, then quickly escalates into a brutal double homicide of the family's remaining siblings. Each murder brings Sharpe closer to his goal—making the Hawthorne matriarch suffer as he did nearly 30 years ago when he found his mother lifeless in the bathtub. Disgraced reporter Skylar Nicholson, crime correspondent for “The Thread,” a digital newspaper in the beltway, catches the scent of Sharpe's intentions. The story of a congressman on a murderous rampage could capture the city's imagination and save her career. Is diving into the middle of this violent family feud worth the risk? In a confrontation where one party is blinded by revenge and the other clutches to secrets about identity and a life never lived, the final battle is destined to inflict maximum damage. "It is fast-paced and moves flawlessly through a multitude of scenes with some interesting characters that are well etched into their background stories, along with a few twists and surprises that keep you turning pages until you realize there is no chance for a full night's sleep," said JJ Partridge, Rhode Island author of the Algy Temple murder mysteries and “Under Blood Moons.” TIM DIAZ is the Executive Director of Meals on Wheels of Rockingham County in southeastern New Hampshire. A former executive in the footwear, apparel, and craft beer businesses, Diaz's passion for writing has led him to this thrilling debut novel. PETER MARINO is the CEO of Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island, a seasoned political strategist with decades of experience working with elected officials. His insights into the world of power and politics inform the intricate plot of “The Kingfisher and the Crow.” The book is available for purchase in paperback, hard cover, and e-book on the book’s website, Amazon, and at Barnes & Noble bookstores.

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.

Media and Democracy Project Urges FCC to Establish a 'Bright-Line Test' with Hearing on FOX Affiliate’s Broadcast License

Media and Democracy Project

Today, the Media and Democracy Project (MAD), joined by a bipartisan coalition of prominent former FCC officials, legal experts, and media advocates, filed further comments with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) urging the agency to designate the WTXF-TV broadcast license application for a hearing. In its filing, the coalition asserts that this matter is not controversial nor political and that action by the Commission is a straightforward application of its statutory obligations. “Our petition is not about speech or political slant—it’s about the deliberate business decision by the Murdochs and Fox to lie to the American people about the 2020 election to protect the company’s profits,” said Brian Hansbury, Co-Founder of the Media and Democracy Project. “That decision cannot be squared with the character requirements of the Communications Act, and the FCC has the opportunity to prove that its public interest policy matters.” The filing argues that this case is “easily distinguishable from routine complaints by politicians about the political slant of a particular channel or classic journalistic prerogatives.” The group calls for the Commission to establish a “bright-line test to provide clear guidance on when a hearing is required.” The filing continues, “[p]roviding this guidance also would be a crowning addition to this Commission’s legacy.” “Commissioner Carr’s recent threat against the broadcast industry (an echo of Trump’s threat against ABC and CBS – against whom there has been no judicial finding) illustrates the importance of this commission adopting a more clear bright line test that invokes the character provision of the communications act only after there has been a judicial finding,” said former Murdoch lobbyist Preston Padden. “If the FCC fails to act, it risks setting a dangerous precedent that undermines its own authority and the public’s trust in broadcast media.” In urging Commission action, the group also called on the FCC to pay particular attention to three passages from earlier informal comments: In an earlier filing from Former FCC Chairman Alfred Sikes, the radio station owner recounted preparing his first application for a station license. It required him to commit to operate in the ‘public interest.’ He recalled wondering whether that language was “just some bureaucratic construct or a legally enforceable requirement.” Later, after serving as Chairman of the Commission, he notes that “the answer is still elusive.” In an informal objection, Former FCC Commissioner Ervin S. Duggan and former Editor of The Weekly Standard Bill Kristol, cited Judge Davis’s findings in US Dominion, Inc. v. Fox News Network, emphasizing that Fox’s behavior “is not consistent with the FCC’s character requirements for broadcast licensees who are supposed to operate their stations in the public interest first and foremost.” The pair continued, “given that the Murdoch/Fox lies contributed to the January 6 riot in the Capitol and duped millions of Americans into believing that the election was stolen, their actions shocked the conscience.” In informal comments from preeminent defender of media First Amendment rights, Floyd Abrams, he recounted his long history of serving as counsel to media organizations whose First Amendment rights were threatened. Notwithstanding that history, Abrams states, “but knowing and repeated distortion of information about a forthcoming election is precisely what a broadcaster may not do, and that the Commission may consider in determining whether license renewal is appropriate.” The joint informal comments were filed by Brian Hansbury, MAD’s Co-founder; Alfred Sikes, former Republican Chairman of the FCC, Ervin S. Duggan, former Democratic FCC Commissioner and former PBS President, William Kristol, longtime Editor of The Weekly Standard, William Reyner, longtime lead regulatory and commercial outside counsel To Murdoch/Fox, and Preston Padden, former executive of Fox Broadcasting Company and former lead lobbyist for Rupert Murdoch/News Corporation/Fox. A copy of the informal comments is available here. A link to a timeline of MAD’s petition is available here. The Media and Democracy Project: MAD is a non-partisan, all-volunteer, grassroots organization focused on strengthening a free and independent media in the public interest. MAD aims to improve our national discourse so that American voters can engage in informed decision-making. As part of that goal, MAD has an interest in the responsibility of journalists and media to report fully, accurately, and fairly on the electoral process and the outcome of elections.

Interoperability vs Fragmentation: Why Cross-Chain Solutions Matter for the Future of DeFi

Elluminex

Ethereum has Uniswap, Binance has PancakeSwap and Solana has Jupiter. Despite being one of the largest Layer 1 platforms, TON still lacks a competitive and effective DeFi protocol. Let’s run the numbers on TON: $13.4 billion in market capitalization, 950 million users, and over 1 billion transactions. Experts believe that any project that captures the first-mover advantage could see incredible returns as the cycle progresses. This is where Elluminex comes into play. A state-of-the-art cross-chain protocol that unites isolated blockchains, bringing all the best opportunities in one place. With analysts tipping Elluminex as one of the hottest plays of the 2024/2025 cycle, let’s see why it’s special. Decentralization Shouldn’t Mean Division The Elluminex decentralized exchange is the ecosystem’s flagship feature. Through its innovative Cross-Chain Bridge, Elluminex acts as a meeting point between all major blockchains. This will allow users to effortlessly swap assets while enjoying high transaction speeds and the lowest possible fees. This also enhances liquidity as it’s sourced from across the various blockchains, resulting in minimal slippage, even in high-volume situations. Investors will be welcomed by a lean and intuitive interface, which will make trading a secure stress-free experience. To further improve ease of access and privacy, Elluminex does away with KYC verification and allows users to access the platform just by connecting their self-custodial wallets. Through this feature alone, Elluminex could change the game and set new standards in terms of usability, security, and scalability. But it doesn’t end here. How Elluminex Leaves The Competition In The Dust Elluminex users will have an additional edge in whale trading and investing, thanks to the exclusive Elluminex portfolio tracker. They will be able to keep track of all their assets and manage them in the most efficient way possible. Through this feature, users will also have access to real-time analytics.

Moreover, Elluminex's intriguing premarket feature will grant early access to TON-based projects before they hit exchanges. Investors will have the opportunity to capitalize on the latest-released gems without having to wait for whales to load up first or become exit liquidity for insiders it is often the case. DeFi Education Furthermore, Elluminex understands that the primary reason hindering DeFi adoption is that the space is inherently complex. Many newcomers often feel intimidated as they try and make sense of its inner workings. With its convoluted terminology and often opaque mechanics, DeFi’s potential is limited by these unintended barriers of entry. The truth is simple, without education DeFi can’t grow. This is why Elluminex has made it a mission to demystify DeFi by fostering an inclusive and educational environment. This initiative will help users understand core concepts and assist them in making informed decisions throughout their crypto journey. The $ELX Token The Elluminex ecosystem is powered by the native $ELX token. Users will reap substantial rewards from engaging with the platform and its advanced staking and farming model. 50% of the $ELX supply will be available during the presale which is set to launch soon. The rest of the tokens will be allocated toward marketing efforts, rewards, liquidity, and exchange listings. In addition to this, the tokenomics of $ELX also comprise a burn mechanism, which will automatically remove tokens from circulation, ensuring robust price stability and long-term growth. Once the presale is live, users will have the opportunity to invest in a project that could reinvent DeFi. Now is the time to start paying attention!
