News Release

The Bitcoin Halving Complete! Investors are Lining Up to Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and New Crypto Raboo

Total Media

The Bitcoin halving was the recent trending crypto market news, which was concluded over the weekend. What does this mean for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), and also, what impact will the Bitcoin halving have on altcoins like Raboo (RABT), currently in presale at a price of just $0.0036? Bitcoin (BTC): Halving supply shock could see prices skyrocket The Bitcoin halving happens every four years and has traditionally triggered big shifts in the crypto market. This occurrence reduces the reward for mining new blocks by half, slowing the rate at which new Bitcoins (BTC) are created and distributed into circulation. The halving is intended to reduce inflation and preserve the cryptocurrency's value over time. Previous halving events suggest a pattern of bullish behavior in the months after a halving. The market has frequently shown significant value growth following the halving, which can be attributed to a scarcity shock. These cycles stimulate speculative trading and investor interest, resulting in greater market activity and price volatility. Each cycle generates a surge of media attention and analysis, influencing both experienced and new market participants. Ethereum (ETH): A reaction to Bitcoin halving cycles Ethereum (ETH) faces indirect consequences during Bitcoin halving events due to increased market interest and investment in cryptocurrencies. Typically, Ethereum benefits from the increased crypto market news exposure, resulting in favorable results. Traders and investors frequently regard Ethereum as a companion asset to Bitcoin, which may also gain in value during these periods. The increased speculative trading affects Ethereum as well, adding to price volatility. However, Ethereum's reaction is impacted not only by Bitcoin's movements but also by its own advancements and larger market conditions. This interconnection highlights the complexities of Ethereum's activity in the cryptocurrency ecosystem amid Bitcoin's critical halving events. Raboo (RABT): Stability through ICOs amidst Bitcoin halving volatility Raboo (RABT) is a newcomer to the cryptocurrency industry, strategically releasing its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) during a period of heightened crypto market news attention focused on the upcoming Bitcoin halving. Unlike existing cryptocurrencies, which may see major price fluctuation during such halving times, ICOs such as Raboo's offer smooth sailing! This is because ICOs are driven mostly by the project's potential and investor enthusiasm, rather than market factors related to mining dynamics. Raboo's focus on developing its unique AI-driven meme platform presents a compelling opportunity for investors looking for new ventures less affected by the fluctuations associated with the Bitcoin halving. This potentially offers a more stable path in the often-turbulent crypto market. Conclusion The crypto market news has been heavily dominated by the Bitcoin halving, which took place over the weekend. Along with violent volatility, flash crashes, and widespread speculation, it is difficult to know exactly what to do, though history shows that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) both increased in value after the halving. Hedging against volatility during this time is a great investment move, which is why structured investments like the Raboo presale are the way to go. The presale has already raised an incredible $850K in just three weeks and is set to return 233% at its conclusion. You can participate in the Raboo presale here.

Comcast Completes Major Fiber Network Expansion in Spring Hill, Kansas

Comcast Greater Kansas City

Comcast announced today the completed expansion of its next-generation Xfinity network to homes and businesses in the City of Spring Hill. The media and technology company invested more than $13 million to install more than 90 miles of new fiber-rich highways that will offer residential broadband speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and business speeds up to 100 Gbps. The completion is part of Comcast’s ongoing expansion in the Midwest where Comcast is also expanding into Paola/Hillsdale. “The Kelly-Toland Administration recognizes that building reliable broadband services is essential for healthy communities throughout the state,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “With the completion of this project, the Spring Hill community now has the resources needed to stay connected and engaged – and help drive economic development.” "The City of Spring Hill joins Comcast in celebrating the completion of this investment in our community. It will support workforce development, education and greater access to high-speed internet for our residents. This was a big priority of this administration from the start, and I’m glad to see it through to becoming a reality. It also improves our internet infrastructure in a way that is attractive to businesses interested in growing here," said Mayor Joe Berkey, City of Spring Hill. “I am grateful for Comcast’s commitment to expanding broadband access to Spring Hill and also their continued commitment to sponsoring other Spring Hill community events throughout the year.” To celebrate the expansion of Xfinity services to the City of Spring Hill, Comcast will donate $5,000 to the Spring Hill Education Foundation and will host an ‘Xfinity On Tour’ event during the Spring Hill Recreation Center Daffodil Days on April 20 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. CST at the Spring Hill Learning Academy at 300 E. Street. This free, family-oriented community event provides residents the opportunity to learn more about Comcast services, answer questions, and take advantage of exclusive offers. You can also stop into the nearest Xfinity store to learn more. For Spring Hill residents, this expansion means access to all Xfinity Internet service offerings with speeds faster than 1 Gig and advanced WiFi technology from powerful gateways capable of delivering reliable and consistent connections for real-time activities like gaming, live streaming, and video conferencing with ultra-low lag. Residents will also have access to the Xfinity X1 video platform, Xfinity Home, Comcast’s professionally installed home security solution, and Xfinity Mobile, one of the nation’s fastest growing mobile services that can save customers hundreds of dollars a year on their mobile bills, and is top ranked in customer satisfaction. “Reliable high-speed internet is essential in today’s digital economy, which is why Comcast continues its commitment to connect more Johnson County region families and businesses to the moments that matter most,” said Kalyn Hove, Comcast Midwest Regional Senior Vice President. “By establishing the best broadband infrastructure today, we are securing the economic prosperity of these communities for tomorrow.” For local businesses, Comcast Business offers a suite of connectivity, cybersecurity, managed solutions and Comcast Business Mobile products designed specifically for their employee’s needs. Powered by the nation’s largest Gig-speed broadband network, and backed by 24/7 customer support, Comcast Business is the nation’s largest cable and Internet provider to small and mid-size businesses and one of the leading providers to larger organizations in the Enterprise market. Comcast Business has been consistently recognized by industry analysts and associations as a leader and innovator, and one of the fastest growing providers of Ethernet services. “We purchased The Bean in Spring Hill nearly three years ago. The most difficult part of doing business was little to no access to internet and proper speeds needed to run our business,” stated Brad Killen, CEO of The Bean. “When I spoke with Comcast Business it was a quick YES to help us. Before switching to Comcast, our WiFi went out every other day and we were running on the slowest speeds. We are now finally getting normal speeds and could not be happier with the service. Everyday dozens of people work, take meetings, or calls at The Bean and this upgrade keeps people coming back for more.” Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company.

The Ethereum price USD has seen an increase of 54% year-to-date (YTD), and is now heading further upwards. During the past week, the price of Ethereum has surged from $2,936 to $3,715, and could soon break even above the $4,000 price barrier. According to the RSI and MACD data, its price outlook is bullish, and based on the Ethereum price prediction, it can end 2024 at $4,428. KangaMoon (KANG) Introduces Social-Fi, P2E and a Community-Driven Approach KangaMoon (KANG) has seen an increased upwards momentum fueled by the optimistic outlook for its ecosystem and the overall unique and rich feature-set. Specifically, on top of this project, anyone will be able to access Social-Fi features, a community-driven approach and Play-to-Earn (P2E) mechanics.

In a letter to shareholders, the company outlined its fiscal fourth quarter and full-year 2023 financial performance, its strategic accomplishments and its vision for future growth. Fourth Quarter Financial Performance Revenue: Super League achieved a quarterly record with revenues reaching $9.5 million, a 34% increase year-over-year. Partnerships: The company served over 100 brands and IP owners, launching 11 custom builds with peak engagement times of up to 30.5 minutes, integrating 15 custom experiences in popular platforms like Roblox (NASDAQ: RBLX), Minecraft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Fortnite, and generating over 330 million visits. Media Campaigns: Media campaigns across these platforms exceeded 180, with significant visibility across digital and OTT channels supported by 340 pieces of video content. Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Performance Annual Revenue: The year's total revenue of $25.1 million represents a 27% increase from 2022, propelled by substantial gains in publishing and content studio revenues. Cost of Revenue: Fiscal 2023 saw the company’s cost of revenue increase to $15.3 million, up 37% from the previous year, reflecting the scale of Super League's custom integration projects. Net Loss: Despite the revenue growth, Super League recorded a net loss of $30.3 million for the year, an improvement over the previous year's $85.5 million loss, indicating significant strides in operational efficiency and cost management. Strategic Initiatives And Market Positioning In 2023, Super League continued to tap into the burgeoning interest of Generations Z and Alpha in immersive platforms, catering to the nuanced preferences of younger audiences largely through personalized in-game and social media engagement. This strategic approach has allowed Super League to secure relationships with over 100 brands and execute significant contracts, such as a nearly $4 million deal with Kraft Lunchables. “The record revenues, fortified balance sheet, and leaner cost structure we created positioned 2023 to be a foundational year for Super League,” said Ann Hand, Super League CEO. “Our roadmap and team are perfectly aligned to meet a growing demand among brands and advertisers for sizable presences in immersive marketing channels –- and the work we accomplished for over 100 top brands proves we are doing it."

Finally, its partnership with Common Sense Networks, a leader in age-appropriate content moderation, is enhancing its ability to safely engage young audiences globally.

David LaValle Discusses Grayscale’s Future of Finance ETF and Bitcoin’s Evolving Role

HANetf

Global Head of ETF for Grayscale David LaValle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the performance and achievements of the Grayscale Future of Finance ETF (GFOF) in recent months. LaValle provided insights into GFOF's performance, which has seen approximately an 8% increase over the past month, surpassing benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100. He attributed this success to the strategic positioning of GFOF, likening it to investing in internet infrastructure in 1998. LaValle emphasized that GFOF focuses on digital assets' infrastructure, despite uncertainties surrounding specific winners in the space. Holdings in companies like Coinbase and other mining companies have contributed significantly to GFOF's performance. He underscored the importance of recent developments in the digital asset space, such as the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. and the uplisting of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which have expanded discussions with financial professionals and wealth managers about integrating digital assets into portfolios. Addressing the evolving perception of Bitcoin, LaValle noted its recognition as a volatile yet increasingly accepted asset class. He discussed Bitcoin's potential roles in investment portfolios, ranging from being viewed as a disruptive technology to serving as a digital store of value, akin to digital gold or exposure to high-growth tech.

Wormhole Foundation Awards Contributor Grant to Supranational for Wormhole ZK Hardware Acceleration

Wormhole Foundation

Wormhole Foundation, steward of the Wormhole interoperability platform, today announced the awarding of a Contributor Grant to Supranational, a renowned innovator in hardware-accelerated cryptography. The collaboration between Supranational and Wormhole contributors aims to enhance the Wormhole protocol's efficiency and security through ZKP hardware acceleration. This partnership focuses on reducing time and costs associated with creating 'light-client' proofs, crucial for trustless transfers between blockchains. Supranational will leverage its CPU and GPU acceleration expertise to minimize proof generation latency, enhancing Wormhole ZK's cross-chain interactions. “We're excited to team up with Supranational to continue increasing security and trustlessness in the Wormhole platform,” said Dan Reecer, Wormhole Foundation Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer. “By accelerating zero-knowledge proofs through hardware, we're not only boosting efficiency and security but also laying the groundwork for faster scaling to support more blockchain connections for Wormhole.” Supranational designs and develops hardware-accelerated cryptography for verifiable and confidential computing. The team has decades of experience in algorithmic optimization, and their work spans across CPU, GPU, FPGA, and ASIC computing platforms. In particular, the team is focused on developing open source, permissively-licensed, and production-grade cryptographic libraries. One of the most well-known examples of these libraries is blst, a high-performance and high-assurance implementation of BLS signatures. This library is currently used by blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Optimism, Aptos, Sui, and more. Blockchain protocols leverage this library to help them securely scale their consensus protocols and the library currently helps to secure over $100B of assets. In addition to their work on the cryptography powering consensus and asset management, Supranational also develops hardware acceleration for emerging cryptographic techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). For example, their open source library, sppark, is used to accelerate the core primitives of SNARKs and STARKs with high-performance GPU implementations. This library is currently used by the Filecoin protocol and helps to generate over 75% of the ZKPs in the blockchain space. In addition to Filecoin, the library is also used by other leading verifiable and privacy preserving protocols such as Aleo, Risc0, and more. About Wormhole Foundation Wormhole Foundation is the steward of Wormhole - the world’s first generalized messaging protocol. Our mission is to empower passionate people in the research and development of blockchain interoperability technologies. Through grants, research, and ecosystem programs, we seek to enable teams to build secure, open-source, and decentralized products within the Wormhole ecosystem.
