ZenaTech (Nasdaq: ZENA) Scales AI Drone and Quantum Computing Innovations for Defense and Commercial Markets

ZENA

The global commercial drone market is taking off, with its value hitting $30.02 billion in 2024 and projected to grow at a 10.6% CAGR through 2030. From agriculture and filmmaking to emergency response and infrastructure inspection, drones are becoming indispensable tools for businesses and governments alike. As the industry evolves, companies are racing to integrate cutting-edge technologies like AI and quantum computing into their offerings — reshaping what’s possible in aerial intelligence. In this high-growth sector, ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) has been making headlines with a series of recent announcements that highlight its momentum and potential. Through strategic initiatives, acquisitions, and technological breakthroughs, the company is positioning itself as an emerging leader in both defense and commercial drone markets. Let’s dive into what’s driving ZenaTech’s progress and why it’s a company to watch. Pursuit of Blue UAS Certification for Military Applications In late January, ZENA announced that its subsidiaries, ZenaDrone and Spider Vision Sensors, are partnering with Taiwan-based Suntek Global to pursue Blue UAS certification for the IQ Nano drone sensor. Managed by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), this certification would allow ZenaTech to supply drones directly to U.S. military and federal agencies — a major step toward securing defense contracts. The IQ Nano is a compact indoor drone designed for precision applications like inventory management, search and rescue, and explosives detection. The company is also pursuing Green UAS certification — a commercial-grade approval — as a stepping stone toward Blue UAS. With the global military drone market projected to grow from $14 billion in 2023 to $47 billion by 2032 (Fortune Business Insights), ZenaTech is strategically positioning itself to capture a share of this expanding market. Expansion of DaaS Business Through Acquisitions In early February, ZenaTech signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire its fifth land survey engineering company, this time in Southeast Florida. The acquisition strengthens the company’s Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) business model, which combines AI-powered drones with established infrastructure businesses to modernize industries like land surveying and border security. ZenaTech highlighted how drones could enhance Florida’s border security, where the state faced $8 billion in illegal immigration costs in 2023. Drones equipped with thermal imaging, night vision, and AI-powered tracking offer 24/7 surveillance in remote or high-risk areas — providing a faster, more cost-effective alternative to manned patrols. Advancements in Drone Technology On February 6, ZenaTech announced that ZenaDrone is testing high-density batteries for the ZenaDrone 1000, its flagship AI drone built for both defense and commercial applications. Supplied by affiliate Galaxy Batteries Inc., the batteries aim to extend flight times and improve performance in missions like cargo transport and reconnaissance. The ZenaDrone 1000 has already completed paid trials with the U.S. Air Force and Navy, demonstrating its potential in logistics and transportation operations. The company’s focus on NDAA compliance and its pursuit of Blue UAS certification could further boost its position in the defense market. Innovation in Drone Communications: DroneNet On February 13, ZENA announced DroneNet, its proprietary drone communications management system. DroneNet allows for secure, uninterrupted communications in environments without reliable internet, cellular, or satellite coverage — a critical capability for military operations where real-time data transmission is essential. ZenaTech is developing its own encrypted microchips for DroneNet, ensuring compliance with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirements. Integrated with the ZenaDrone 1000, DroneNet enhances both security and operational range, making the system a powerful solution for defense and industrial applications. Quantum Computing Initiatives: Sky Traffic Project ZenaTech’s quantum computing initiatives are also gaining momentum. On February 19, the company reported positive results from early testing of its Sky Traffic project, which uses AI and quantum computing to improve weather forecasting accuracy for aerial operations. Encouraged by the results, ZenaTech is expanding its team with quantum, AI, and hardware engineers to accelerate development. The company envisions applications in traffic management, wildfire prevention, and defense operations — areas where rapid data processing and predictive analytics could revolutionize decision-making. Scaling Production for Defense and Commercial Markets To meet rising demand, ZenaTech finalized the third-generation design of its ZenaDrone 1000 on February 25. The latest model features a more powerful propulsion system, aerodynamic carbon fiber body, and enhanced lift capabilities for both defense and commercial applications. The company plans to manufacture at least ten units per month starting in Q1 2025 at its Sharjah, UAE facility, while ramping up NDAA-compliant production at its Phoenix, Arizona facility for U.S. Department of Defense applications. Commercial Sector Growth: IQ Square Drone In the commercial sector, ZenaTech is advancing its IQ Square drone, which entered the manufacturing stage on February 27. Designed for building inspections, land surveys, and power washing, the IQ Square plays a central role in the company’s growing DaaS model. With the global market for drone cleaning services projected to reach $53.89 billion by 2030 (QYResearch), the IQ Square provides an automated, cost-effective solution — eliminating the need for scaffolding and manual labor in large-scale cleaning jobs. DaaS Model: Revolutionizing Traditional Industries ZenaTech’s DaaS model enables businesses and government agencies to access drone solutions on a pay-as-you-go basis, eliminating the need for upfront hardware or software investments. By acquiring established land survey firms and integrating AI drones into their operations, the company is proving how drone technology can transform traditional industries. Conclusion: A Company to Watch As ZenaTech (Nasdaq: ZENA) scales production, expands its market reach, and drives innovation in AI drones and quantum computing, it’s positioning itself as a rising player in the technology and defense sectors. With strategic acquisitions, groundbreaking technologies, and increasing traction across multiple industries, ZenaTech’s recent developments underscore its potential to capitalize on the growing demand for secure, reliable, and efficient drone solutions, making ZENA a stock to watch.

BNB's Future Outlook: Evaluating the Role of Elluminex in Binance Coin's Growth Strategy

Elluminex

Do you know what the popular DEX PancakeSwap’s user-friendly interface and low-fee structure did for BNB? PancakeSwap helped draw massive traffic to the Binance smart chain. BNB saw a huge migration of users to its platform, and suddenly, every user wanted BNB for pasting gas fees and staking on the DEX. The result? BNB prices skyrocketed from $40 in 2021 to $600 in the same year. That’s the power true DeFi capabilities hold for a blockchain ecosystem and its native token. BNB is one of the most valued and stable cryptocurrencies today. Elluminex, an all-in-one DeFi platform native to the TON ecosystem, is set to bring the same promised fate for one of the most popular blockchain ecosystems today. Elluminex is bringing DeFi capabilities to crystallize true earning opportunities for the 950 billion users active on the TON ecosystem, bringing shared liquidity to thousands of applications and commissioning seamless transactions across chains. Let’s learn more about BNB's outlook before we figure out how Elluminex is to TON what PancakeSwap was to BNB. BNB’s Future Outlook: What’s In Store For The Behemoth Token BNB price is expected to continue its upward trend as more and more users continue to flock to the BSC blockchain for its low fees and fast transaction speed. BNB could hit a price of $761 by the end of 2025, according to The Currency Analytics prediction platform. It reached an all-time high of $750, and its market cap reached $100 billion YoY. Messari’s report also points to the growing relevance of Binance Smart Chain, given its expanding ecosystem and continuous improvements. However, the growth of multi-utility DeFi platforms like Elluminex on TON can promote another migration to the popular blockchain hosting Telegram and its mini-apps. Elluminex is Championing Speed, Scalability, and Security in DeFi Elluminex is a multi-utility DeFI platform on the TON blockchain. It brings DeFi utilities to the otherwise fragmented TON ecosystem. Elluminex is different from other DeFI platforms as it targets the challenges hindering TON’s growth today. Its DEX offers low slippage-low fees transactions and swaps across chains, orders, and tokens. Elluminex will also give access to yet-to-be-launched tokens via its TON Pre-market platform. Users will be able to stake $ELX tokens and win yields via its advanced staking and farming mechanisms. They can also partake in liquidity provision and contribute to liquidity pools in exchange for high APY returns. Users can keep an eye on their portfolio via an AI-powered portfolio tracker and educate themselves from its rich resources. The Elluminex platform is audited by SolidProof, stamping it with assurance and authenticity. Anyone joining the ecosystem gets an entire crypto portfolio management system, staking protocol, cross-chain bridge, resource library, and other asset management tools under one roof. The TON ecosystem will benefit a lot as TON brings unexplored functionality to its platforms. Elluminex’s interesting tokenomics speaks for decentralized DeFI governance. $ELX has a maximum supply of 350 million tokens, out of which 50% goes to the early investors during presale. Elluminex’s presale is currently live on its official website, and any investor who wants to become a part of the revolution by rewriting user interaction and passive income capabilities on the TON ecosystem is welcome to join the league! Join the community and make Elluminex part of your portfolio today! Website: elluminex.com/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/elluminex Telegram: https://t.me/Elluminex YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Elluminex Elluminex is unique in that it is bringing DeFi to the TON Network/Blockchain which at the moment is very limited in this sense with very few options available to its users. Despite this the TON Network is still the fastest growing blockchain in the world and many view it as a future powerhouse to rival Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. By bringing DeFi to the TON Network, it would immediately transform the chain and take its capabilities and vast reach to the next level. (ELX is a transformative crypto for the TON chain) Simply having lots of token holders and liquidity means nothing if project owners, developers are not able to tap into and utilise it, and crypto users are not able to trade it freely and seamlessly. Cryptocurrency may be unregulated in your jurisdiction. The value of cryptocurrencies fluctuates and it is important that you thoroughly understand the risks associated with acquiring cryptocurrencies, as outlined in the Disclaimer. You confirm that you are not a citizen or resident of the United States, United Kingdom, or any prohibited jurisdiction, or any other location where the purchase of Elluminex and $ELX token may be legally restricted. Please note that our list of restricted countries and terms of service may undergo updates, and it is your responsibility to stay informed about the latest version.

Dogecoin vs. Shiba Inu: Which Meme Coin Offers More In The Current Solana Dominated Market

Cutoshi

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are perhaps the most notable movers in the crypto market and have historically long been an unpredictable element of the industry. But as the landscape changes and Solana-based meme coins rise to prominence, the question becomes, which project, between DOGE and SHIB, is currently a stronger contender? Also, with newer projects like Cutoshi on the rise, traders are starting to search for new opportunities to capitalize on rather than only try and invest in legacy meme coins. Dogecoin Gains Institutional Interest Dogecoin has acquired a strong foothold in the cryptocurrency space due to a dedicated base in the community and a few endorsements from big shots like Elon Musk. The growth of Dogecoin (especially as it concerns the number of total addresses with a balance) has seen such a leap that it rose from slightly over 1 million in 2015 to around 6.57 million in 2024. Over recent years, DOGE has been used as a payment service; with this use, it has been associated with real-world applications. These have increased its relevance due to various integrations into payment systems, ranging from the Tesla online store to sports and entertainment partnerships. Institutional interest in Dogecoin is on the rise as well and partly facilitated by the Dogecoin Foundation, which works with investors from the United States for their expansion into trades like huge sports activities. Additionally, there has been excitement around a potential Dogecoin ETF that lends legitimacy to the asset. Even with these developments, it is important to note that DOGE remains inflationary, with no hard cap on supply. This means that even if demand grows, the continuous supply of fresh DOGE tokens raises the risk of value dilution. Dogecoin has had a rocky month regarding price performance; it is down 32.28% to $0.2368. On the plus side, its $35 billion market cap is very much in good standing, but the price chart displays a serious bear market for all meme coins. Shiba Inu: The Dogecoin Rival The growth in the number of new addresses associated with Shiba Inu has decreased by 6.03% and the number of active addresses has gone up by 9.16%. The rise in active users suggests continued usage of the network by existing holders, but this might also indicate a reduction in adoption as seen from the plunge in new addresses. Both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu remain relevant within the meme coin sector, although they have very different approaches to compete for the ultimate victor. While DOGE has an advantage with regards to brand recognition and acceptance from institutions, SHIB, meanwhile, may realize long-term sustainability because of the DeFi boom and token burn strategy. There remains an ever-fierce contest between the two titans, with traders now pitted between brand longevity versus evolving usefulness. Cutoshi: The Meme Coin with a Bigger Vision According to CryptoEQ, the meme coin sector is maturing, and traders are becoming more selective in their investments by seeking out projects that have both a whimsical element and real-world applicability. Cutoshi is not just another meme coin; it is an innovative "MemeFi" project, integrating DeFi tools into the meme coin ecosystem, where Atomic caps and viral community-driven rallies meet the exhilarating world of liquid assets. Cutoshi is currently in Stage 5 of its presale and has raised over $2 million so far, attracting the interest of many traders. In contrast to many presale models, Cutoshi implements a structured price increase that provides early holders with still respectable entry while also backing sustainable growth. This leaves just one more stage left before Cutoshi goes live after its presale. Further, Cutoshi has completed a full audit of its smart contracts, making it a project that has no threats or bugs in the system, as laid down by SolidProof. The tokenomics of Cutoshi are crafted to support a sustainable ecosystem. 55% of the overall 440 million $CUTO supply will be allocated to the presale, putting early holders a key position to support the project. The other 10% is used for farming rewards, which allows the holders to earn passive income while providing liquidity. 10% for promotion, to guarantee long-term visibility and adoption. Another 10% is designated for exchange listings, ensuring seamless entry into the greater crypto ecosystem. 15% of the total supply is allocated to the team, burn events, and ecosystem expansion — all in the spirit of Cutoshi’s deflationary tokenomics.

It’s based on decentralization, privacy, and monetary freedom, embodying the blockchain's original purpose and ethos. Cutoshi has a vision - to introduce more people to cryptocurrencies and bring financial freedom to all who want it.

XRP’s Legal Battles Continue: Investors Eye Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Cutoshi as Alternative Meme Cryptos

Cutoshi

As XRP’s legal showdown with the SEC drags on, traders are diversifying into meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Cutoshi (CUTO). Unlike XRP’s regulatory uncertainty, these memecoin projects are relatively safer bets with humor-driven communities and niche utilities. Out of these emerging memecoins, Cutoshi, a DeFi-focused project, stands out with its scarcity model and Lucky cat lore, with some crypto enthusiasts predicting it may outperform Dogecoin and Shiba Inu in growth in 2025. XRP’s Legal Limbo and Market Pressures XRP’s price hovered near $0.50 as its legal battle entered a critical phase in 2020. The SEC seeks to appeal a 2023 ruling that partially cleared Ripple, arguing XRP constitutes security. Legal expert John Deaton calls the SEC’s case “weak,” but prolonged litigation could delay institutional adoption. Traders note XRP’s 141% gain last year lags behind Bitcoin’s rally, pushing traders toward faster-moving assets. ETF applications from firms like Bitwise offer hope, but a $300 target remains unrealistic—its market cap would need to hit $17 trillion, dwarfing today’s entire crypto market. For now, XRP holders hedge bets elsewhere. XRP is currently trading at $2.52 and has taken a hit, dropping 7.90% over the past week, which is slower than the rest of the crypto market. On a brighter note, trading volume for XRP jumped to $2,524,401,591 in the last 24 hours, showing a 25.90% increase from yesterday—the market is definitely active! Nonetheless, XRP has a total supply capped at 100 billion. Dogecoin and Shiba Inu: Meme Hype Meets Volatility Dogecoin currently trades at $0.2308, trapped in a “boring phase” since December 2024. Analysts like Trader Tardigrade predict a breakout past $1.30 post-March, citing historical patterns. Yet skeptics question its utility beyond Elon Musk’s tweets. Shiba Inu, down 26% monthly, faces its own reckoning—analyst Ali Martinez warns of a 48% drop to $0.000008 if key supports fail. Once dubbed the “Doge killer,” SHIB struggles to differentiate in a sea of Solana-based rivals. Both coins highlight meme crypto’s double-edged sword: viral potential undercut by inflationary token supplies. Cutoshi: The Lucky Cat MemeCoin with DeFi Utility Cutoshi ($CUTO) offers a twist - an Ethereum-based meme coin with deflationary mechanics. Its presale has raised over $2M with a current price of $0.0487 per token (up from an initial $0.015 per token, 224% rise). Unlike Dogecoin’s infinite supply, Cutoshi caps tokens at 440 million, burning 7% to boost scarcity. The ecosystem will include a multi-chain DEX, yield farming, and NFTs tied to Japanese Lucky Cat folklore. Cutoshi’s lore draws from centuries-old tales where cats symbolize prosperity. Modernized, this ethos translates into DeFi tools: a non-wallet-connect DEX for privacy, an academy educating newcomers, and NFTs rewarding early adopters. With 55% of tokens sold in its presale and CEX listings planned, $CUTO mirrors Shiba Inu’s 2021 structure but adds token burns—a feature that could fuel a 100x growth. Apart from the DEX, Cutoshi has also released “ Cutoshi Quests and Farming ”, a yield farming initiative that’s gamified to improve community participation through achievements, missions, and reward points. These “Cutopoints”, can be redeemed for various benefits across the ecosystem, and stand to increase both participation and passive income for users. With XRP's legal woes highlighting crypto’s regulatory risks and the decreasing community participation from Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, Cutoshi carves a middle path for buyers - meme appeal anchored in DeFi utility and cultural lore that can potentially bring back Ethereum based tokens back on traders portfolios.

Pepe Coin's Meteoric Rise: What It Means for the Future of Meme Cryptos

Cutoshi

Meme coins have been widely considered vague and speculative, with no actual value outside of the world of crypto. Despite often being met with skepticism, their sheer ability to garner massive market interest and explosive returns has made them an undeniable force in the cryptocurrency universe. Among the recent stars, Pepe Coin (PEPE) has emerged as a trader favourite, surging 662% over the past year even as the price remains volatile. After PEPE shows that meme coins are still a major segment of the market, what does its rise mean more broadly for the meme crypto landscape? However, are Meme tokens with a utility like Cutoshi going to seize the changing market demand? Pepe Coin's Boom: Pepe Coin has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame, cementing its status as one of the leading meme tokens in the market. PEPE price is $0.00000927 with a market cap of $3.92B and a rank of #30 in the total crypto market, as of Feb 23, 2025. With a 24-hour trading volume of $457.16 million, it reflects solid liquidity and ongoing interest from investors. Witnessing a 3.71% pullback in the last 24 hours, PEPE's observables only indicate their long-term growth trajectory towards success. This explosion illustrates an important truth: meme currencies are capable of outshining even established digital assets the moment they have the wind of a solid community behind their back to foster speculation. More Than Just Hype: Cutoshi’s Mega Entry Meme coins have always been about fun, community, and the aspirational overnight millionaire’s pick. But as the crypto landscape matures, so do the expectations of traders. The days of a token going to the moon based on social media hype alone are long gone. Research now claims utility of a meme coin is as important now as branding. Cutoshi (CUTO) is entering this new market as a meme coin with actual financial utility. This approach, while not divorced from the fun aspects of meme culture, also incorporates elements of DeFi that serve to benefit its holders directly. While most meme coins rely on pure speculation, Cutoshi seeks to provide a sustainable ecosystem based on real utility. Central to the project will be the Cutoshi Decentralized Exchange (DEX) — a multi-chain platform for swapping assets between blockchains. It allows users to maintain privacy and control over their crypto assets while being able to use them on multiple platforms without any dependence on a centralized entity. This one feature sets Cutoshi apart from most meme coins which are simply there for fun. However, Cutoshi is not only for trading tokens but also brings an interactive aspect to earn via gamified yield farming. Instead of urging passive involvement, the Cutoshi Quests inspire users to engage in challenges for points and rewards. This mechanism introduces more than just financial incentives—it creates an actual community among token holders, so that participating in DeFi doesn’t feel like a monetary chore, but more like a journey. The barriers to DeFi adoption continue to persist, with education still being one of the larger hurdles facing potential traders, who are scared off by the complexity of the space. Hence, Cutoshi has come up with its own Academy. The project provides a convenient onboarding platform where you can expand your knowledge of crypto, blockchain, and financial sovereignty which will serve as a useful tool in 2025. The academy’s advanced modules will now be accessible through the $CUTO token, becoming yet another functional asset within the ecosystem. Furthermore, SolidProof audits Cutoshi for security, transparency, and compliance. The project is now entering Stage 5 of its presale and has surpassed the its $2 million fundraising goal, indicating an increase in Cutoshi’s interest and allegiance to its long-term goals. Cutoshi has a deflationary mechanism that reduces supply and creates potential upward price pressure whenever there's an upward buying momentum. Marketing strategy remains community-centered, with 55% of the total 440 million token supply designated for presale.

Why BNB and Ethereum Holders Are Exploring Elluminex for Enhanced DeFi Solutions

Elluminex

As BNB climbs toward $670 and Ethereum holds steady near $2,239, investors seek fresh opportunities in decentralized finance. Elluminex, a rising DeFi hub on the TON blockchain, emerges as a compelling option. With a presale already raising over $328,640, it aims to replicate the success of giants like Uniswap/PancakeSwap. BNB’s Growth and Ethereum’s Steady Momentum BNB recently surged 15%, now trading at $607.84 amid predictions of a $1,292 peak in 2025. Analysts credit BNB’s expanding ecosystem —staking, DeFi, and lending—for boosting demand. Ethereum, meanwhile, remains resilient at $2,806 despite a $1.4 billion hack on Bybit, showcasing its institutional appeal. Yet, both face challenges. BNB’s volatility and Ethereum’s scalability limits push holders toward innovative platforms. Elluminex, with its TON blockchain foundation, offers a solution. TON’s 950 million users and minimal DeFi activity create untapped potential, mirroring Solana’s rise post-Raydium. BNB traded $726 million in the last 24 hours, down by 24.9%. It has a market cap of $95.27 billion. On the other hand, Ethereum (ETH) had a trading volume of $19.56 billion, which is up 4.9% from yes terday, showing more market activity—boasting a market cap of $338.89 billion. Elluminex’s Tokenomics and Strategic Vision Compared to BNB and Ethereum Elluminex’s $ELX token combines scarcity and utility. Half its 350 million supply fuels the presale, priced at $0.06 before rising to $0.08. A 50% fee burn ensures deflation, while staking rewards and governance rights incentivize holding. The team—ex-Google and Fantom developers—prioritizes security, leveraging TON’s speed for low-fee trades. Unlike BNB and Ethereum, Elluminex integrates cross-chain bridges, pre-market token access, and an AI portfolio tracker, addressing fragmented liquidity. This positions it as a unified hub, akin to Uniswap’s 2020 Ethereum boom. Contrasting Elluminex’s Phased Developments vs BNB and Ethereum Elluminex’s phased rollout begins with a DEX and staking dApp, followed by a cross-chain bridge and educational academy. Later stages introduce a mobile app and pre-market platform, allowing early investments in TON projects. For BNB and Ethereum holders, this mirrors Binance’s OTC offerings and Solana’s growth spurt post-Jupiter. The presale’s early success—1.62% of Stage 1 completed—signals confidence, while TON’s scalability could accelerate adoption. As Ethereum upgrades focus on gas fees and BNB targets $717, Elluminex offers a parallel path: bridging TON’s user base with DeFi’s liquidity. Call to Hedge: BNB and Ethereum vs. Elluminex’s Utility Elluminex merges TON’s scalability with DeFi innovation, attracting BNB and Ethereum investors seeking diversification. Its burn mechanics, seasoned team, and cross-chain tools position it as a catalyst for TON’s evolution. With the presale advancing and audits ensuring security, analysts note parallels to Uniswap’s early days. For those eyeing the next DeFi frontier, Elluminex offers a stake in TON’s untapped potential—a narrative echoing Ethereum’s rise and BNB’s ecosystem dominance. Join the community and make Elluminex part of your portfolio today! Website: elluminex.com/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/elluminex Telegram: https://t.me/Elluminex YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Elluminex Elluminex is unique in that it is bringing DeFi to the TON Network/Blockchain which at the moment is very limited in this sense with very few options available to its users. Despite this the TON Network is still the fastest growing blockchain in the world and many view it as a future powerhouse to rival Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. By bringing DeFi to the TON Network, it would immediately transform the chain and take its capabilities and vast reach to the next level. (ELX is a transformative crypto for the TON chain) Simply having lots of token holders and liquidity means nothing if project owners, developers are not able to tap into and utilise it, and crypto users are not able to trade it freely and seamlessly. Cryptocurrency may be unregulated in your jurisdiction. The value of cryptocurrencies fluctuates and it is important that you thoroughly understand the risks associated with acquiring cryptocurrencies, as outlined in the Disclaimer. You confirm that you are not a citizen or resident of the United States, United Kingdom, or any prohibited jurisdiction, or any other location where the purchase of Elluminex and $ELX token may be legally restricted. Please note that our list of restricted countries and terms of service may undergo updates, and it is your responsibility to stay informed about the latest version.

Ethereum's Ecosystem Expansion: How Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Cutoshi Are Carving Their Niche

Cutoshi

Memecoins have carved a niche for themselves in the crypto space despite all the notoriety and volatility they bring to the ecosystem. Experts cite that memecoins could be the biggest factor in crypto adoption, given most users can understand and relate to them. Also, with big personalities like US President Donald Trump and countries like Argentina and the Central African Republic launching their own memecoins, things are only looking up. While thousands of memecoins are launched each day, memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu haven’t lost their relevance. Dogecoin, for the constant support it gets from the community and Musk in general, and Shiba Inu for the terrific use cases it is slowly building around SHIB. Another sparkling gem that may be named in the ‘League of Stalwarts’ is Cutoshi, a coin still in its presale yet creating all the buzz for the right reasons. Cutoshi, in essence, a memecoin with an ecosystem driven by robust financial incentives. DOGE and SHIB Seeking Sustained Momentum Doge remains a memecoin driven by hype and noise. Its history shows how it has always synced its price movements with any favorable news. Whether it was Musk validating Doge as the next Bitcoin or the US government naming an entire ministry with DOGE initials, Doge remains a pretty sensitive coin. Doge has been in a descending channel for some time. It recently started pushing up in view of favorable economic conditions. Doge whales are returning, and Doge might see an upcoming bullish momentum. After a prolonged absence, Shiba Inu whales are also back on the scene. Its blockchain Shibarium is doing well, and so are its other utilities. Shib might even overtake Doge in the next bull run. But Shib’s value is still heavily reliant on hype and FOMO. It is on coins like Cutoshi give memecoin sector a new perspective to seek utility-driven momentum. Cutoshi: The New Flagship Memecoin With In-Built Use cases Cutoshi ($CUTO) is funny yet wise.
