Hong Kong Authorities Approve Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, A New Dawn For These Tokens?

Kangamoon

After the Hong Kong regulatory authority's approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the crypto market is set to witness a resurgence. Some of the tokens that badly need this approval are Ethereum (ETH) and Polkadot (DOT) which have slipped considerably in the wake of the bearish sentiments. For KangaMoon (KANG), the development is a good way of continuing its bullish momentum, projecting it as one of the best meme coins to buy now. KangaMoon (KANG)- An Injection of Fresh Idea KangaMoon's fresh idea is set to revolutionize the meme coin market. The platform blend of SocialFi and GameFI models projects it as the future of meme coin utility, offering a platform where participants come together for an immersive gaming experience. KangaMoon's ideas also transcend to making the platform a user-centric one. Every participant on the platform has a chance to earn significant rewards through their active participation. Players earn through weekly, monthly, and quarterly competitions. Spectators earn through predictive betting while holders get free tokens through simple social tasks. At stage 5 of the ICO campaign, KangaMoon has broken through as one of the best meme coins to buy. Its native token KANG has witnessed huge growth, rising from $0.005 at inception to $0.0196 now. With the price rising, investors have also pocketed a 290% ROI for holding on to the token. With the listings across major exchanges set to happen in Q2 2024, KangaMoon's potential ROI could be up 1000%. Although the token has proved itself in the meme coin market, keen watchers believe more are still to come. With events such as the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and the upcoming bull market, KangaMoon can truly serve investors with a bounce to $1. Can The Effect of Hong Kong ETF Approval Kickstart a New Dawn For Ethereum (ETH)? Ethereum (ETH), the number two crypto, has witnessed a subdued performance in recent times, losing almost $1000 of its price value within a few months. However, the recent approval of the Ethereum ETF in Hong Kong is expected to trigger a massive rally in the next few months. Even though the Ethereum token still has the US SEC to contend with, Ethereum EMA is battling hard to find support at the $3k threshold. If Ethereum's price can find support, analysts observe that it may restage its move above the key resistance level of $3500. Otherwise, a pullback to below $3k can not be ruled out. Holders Expect Polkadot (DOT) To Surge After Breaking Key Support Level Now that Polkadot (DOT) has broken out of the support level of $6.5, the token may be set for an extended spell with a bullish sentiment. From the trading outlook, the Polkadot token is moving next into the 100-day EMA located at $8.1 and the Fibonacci retracement level situated at $8. This audacious jump by Polkadot may be due to the recent massive adoption of the Polkadot network by many projects. Projects such as Moonsong Labs, Origin Trail, and Neuro Web AI have all embraced Polkadot silky blockchain as their preferred network to drive their platform growth.

Franklin Templeton Launches Money Market Fund on Polygon; Why Are Tron and KangaMoon Surging?

Kangamoon

Franklin Templeton recently created a money-market fund on the Polygon (MATIC) blockchain, which indicates that institutions are becoming more interested in DeFi. Meanwhile, Tron (TRX) and KangaMoon (KANG) are the best cryptos to buy. Analysts hint that KANG, a Stage 5 presale star, may become a $0.5 crypto in 2024. The Polygon Crypto May Soar After Franklin Templeton Announcement Franklin Templeton has revealed that the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX) will be integrated into the Polygon (MATIC) blockchain. This is a significant step for the first-ever U.S.-registered mutual fund, which now uses public blockchains to perform transactions. Meanwhile, the Polygon coin has been riding a bullish wave. Over the last week alone, the Polygon crypto value rose from $0.67 to $0.70. During that time, the Polygon market cap increased from $6.88B to $6.97B. This crypto is trading above its 200-day EMA, so experts have made a bullish Polygon price prediction. They foresee growth to $1.10 within Q2 of 2024. Tron (TRX): Another Good Crypto To Buy Tron (TRX) is another token making waves in this market. Over the last seven days, the Tron price soared from $0.11 to $0.12. The Tron market cap surged from $9.60B to $10.46B in that period. Additionally, Messari reports that Tron had positive growth in many sectors in Q1 of 2024. For example, the USDT on TRON reached $50B. In addition, there are now 25 technical indicators for the Tron coin in the green. Because of this, market analysts remain bullish on this crypto. In their Tron price predictions, they forecast a rise to $0.17 before Q2 of 2024 ends. KangaMoon (KANG): The Best New Crypto To Invest In Global traders are also gravitating to KangaMoon (KANG), a rising presale sensation. This presale has raised over $5.8M so far and is expected to reach $6M by the end of April 2024. The community has over 20K registered members and 6K KANG holders, showing strong involvement. Recently, KangaMoon announced a major partnership with RiotSharks, bringing thrilling raids and a $1K monthly reward pool. This development has only increased the level of attention that KangaMoon is getting. Essentially, KangaMoon will launch a P2E game where KANG will be used to buy in-game items and upgrade characters. What makes KangaMoon unique is its focus on giving back to its community. For example, KangaMoon rewards the most active community members with free KANG tokens before its launch. Therefore, countless individuals are now rushing to like and share KangaMoon's social media posts. Currently, one KANG costs just $0.0196 in Stage 5 of its presale - a 290% pump from its starting price of $0.005. However, since it has ties to the P2E gaming market, which may reach $885M by 2028, its long-term growth potential is stellar. Experts foresee a rise to $0.5 once a Tier-1 CEX lists KANG in Q2 of 2024. This makes KANG the top crypto to invest in. Can KangaMoon Outpace Polygon and Tron? KangaMoon possesses a major advantage over Polygon and Tron—a low market cap of $19.6M. This means that KANG will surge much faster, as it needs fewer new funds for its price to rise. Therefore, KANG is the best new crypto to invest in. Sign up for its presale now and get a 10% bonus. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!

NowSecure Unveils First Automated OWASP MASVS v2.1 Mobile App Security and New Privacy Testing

NowSecure

NowSecure, the leader in mobile security and privacy testing, today raised the level of protection available to safeguard enterprise mobile app portfolios with the industry’s first automated solution for the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) version 2.1. Available from within NowSecure Platform, customers can comprehensively test to the MASVS v2.1 industry standard easily demonstrating to stakeholders that their mobile apps uphold the highest levels of security and user privacy. The OWASP MASVS v2.1 serves as the global standard for mobile application security and defines a set of requirements and best practices for secure mobile app development. It includes a new category supported by the NowSecure Platform, MASVS-PRIVACY. These controls provide mobile app development and security teams with much-needed visibility into the privacy implications of their mobile apps to meet app store requirements and meet the challenge of the intensifying scrutiny of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). "With the new privacy category, we're now able to address cases not covered by traditional security testing,” said Carlos Holguera, OWASP MAS project lead and senior mobile security research engineer for NowSecure. “The support inside NowSecure Platform is critical for our customers." While data security focuses on protecting data from unauthorized access, privacy focuses on the rights of users regarding data collection, processing, storage and sharing. For example, imagine that an app transmits encrypted data securely, but that data contains highly sensitive personal information that’s sent to outside parties without user consent. The new privacy controls ensure this and other privacy failures are prevented, Holguera explained. The new OWASP-MASVS v2.1 controls featured in NowSecure Platform include: MASVS-PRIVACY-1: Minimizes access to sensitive data and resources MASVS-PRIVACY-2: Prevents user identification MASVS-PRIVACY-3: Ensures/promotes transparency in data collection and usage MASVS-PRIVACY-4: Provides user control over personal data As an OWASP MAS Advocate and industry leader, NowSecure has extensively contributed to the OWASP Mobile Application Security Project (MAS) and championed creation of OWASP MASVS-PRIVACY. "This new category is the result of extensive expert-driven research across the industry. It aligns with, and goes beyond the shift toward protecting user privacy started by Apple and Google,” said Holguera. Security and privacy go hand in hand in new OWASP MASVS findings and report in NowSecure Platform and the NowSecure OWASP MASVS Pen Testing Service leverage best-in-class test automation and expertise to ensure that your app remains fully compliant across all eight MASVS domains: MASVS-STORAGE MASVS-CRYPTO MASVS-AUTH MASVS-NETWORK MASVS-PLATFORM MASVS-CODE MASVS-RESILIENCE MASVS-PRIVACY NowSecure recently published a benchmark report revealing 95% of mobile apps fail to meet the OWASP MASVS v1.0 standard and released a guide on common secure coding mistakes, helping developers bridge the gap and enhance their security practices. The NowSecure Platform OWASP MASVS report delivers a concise view of passed and unmet requirements and indicates if a requirement needs manual review. Mobile app security, development and GRC teams can consult the report to quickly identify areas of improvement for their mobile app testing programs. Once the app meets the MASVS v2.1 requirements, NowSecure Platform can also generate a letter of attestation to demonstrate that the app is secure and respects user privacy. The new OWASP MASVS report will be available to NowSecure Platform customers, allowing them to incorporate the latest advancements in mobile app security and privacy testing within their development workflows. To experience NowSecure Platform and benchmark your mobile apps against the OWASP MASVS, request a demo today. About NowSecure As recognized experts in mobile security and privacy, NowSecure protects the global mobile app economy and safeguards the data of millions of mobile app users. Built on a foundation of standards, NowSecure empowers the world’s most demanding organizations with security automation to release and monetize 30% faster, reduce testing and delivery costs by 30% and reduce appsec risk by 40%. Only NowSecure offers a full solution suite of continuous security testing for DevSecOps, mobile app supply-chain monitoring, expert mobile pen testing as a Service (PTaaS), and training courseware. NowSecure actively contributes and supports the mobile security open-source community, standards and certification including OWASP MASVS, ADA MASA, and NIAP, and is recognized by IDC, Gartner, Deloitte Fast 500, and TAG Cyber.

3 Penny Cryptos With Massive Potential in 2024: Dogecoin, Hedera, and Raboo

Total Media

As the crypto landscape continues to evolve post-Bitcoin halving, investors are keenly scouting for opportunities that promise high returns without the hefty investment. Penny cryptos, known for their affordability and moonshot potential for substantial gains, are attracting attention. In 2024, three such cryptos — Dogecoin, Hedera, and Raboo — look set to make significant impacts. Among these, Raboo stands out not only for its price, but also for its innovative approach and growing community support. Dogecoin: The popular favourite Dogecoin, the original meme coin, remains a favourite among investors for its viral appeal and robust community. Despite its origins as a joke, Dogecoin has seen substantial real-world application and adoption by retailers and even fundraisers. While Dogecoin’s price often benefits from social media hype and celebrity endorsements, it maintains a resilience that could see new heights in this current market phase, especially with growing mainstream acceptance. Hedera: The enterprise mover Hedera has carved a niche for itself with its highly efficient hashgraph technology, setting it apart from typical blockchain models. Known for its low fees and high-speed transactions, Hedera appeals to enterprise clients looking to integrate blockchain solutions without the environmental cost associated with traditional models. As businesses continue to prioritize sustainability, Hedera’s practical applications in the real world could lead to increased demand and higher token valuation. Raboo: The Innovative Challenger Raboo is swiftly climbing the ranks as a noteworthy contender in the penny crypto space. This AI-backed meme coin distinguishes itself through technological innovation — leveraging artificial intelligence to scan, analyze, and propagate only the highest quality memes, ensuring viral potential and engagement. With a third stage price of just $0.0042 and predictions of a 100x return, Raboo’s presale phase has already attracted massive levels of attention. The token’s structure promises not only profitability but also active community involvement and rewards, which could solidify its place as a staple in the portfolios of both meme coin enthusiasts and serious investors. Investment potential and market trends The investment appeal of penny cryptos like Dogecoin, Hedera, and Raboo lies in their low entry cost and potential for moonshot returns. For Dogecoin, its enduring popularity and increasing integration into payment systems provide a stable growth outlook. Hedera’s appeal lies in its revolutionary tech and green credentials, which are likely to attract institutional investors as the market shifts towards sustainability. Raboo, however, offers a unique proposition by combining the virality of meme coins with sophisticated AI technology, making it the top investment for those looking to capitalize on quick gains while engaging in a vibrant, interactive community. With its strategic marketing and solid tokenomics, Raboo is not just another meme coin but a potential market mover in 2024. As the crypto market continues to mature, the penny cryptos segment presents exciting opportunities for investors willing to explore less traditional paths. Dogecoin, Hedera, and Raboo each offer unique attributes that could lead to substantial returns. Particularly, Raboo, with its innovative use of AI in the crypto market, is set to not just participate but potentially lead the next wave of crypto trends. For those looking to diversify into dynamic and potentially lucrative realms of the crypto world, these three penny cryptos present compelling cases for consideration. You can participate in the Raboo presale here. Contact Details Total Media Solutions media@Totalsolutionspr.io

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.
