Toncoin and Solana Investors Eye New Opportunities as Elluminex Emerges

Elluminex

As Toncoin battles a 33.3% price drop in February 2025 and Solana faces a 16.5% weekly decline, investors seek fresh prospects. Enter Elluminex, a DeFi hub launching on TON, Telegram’s blockchain. With Toncoin at $3.29 and Solana at $143, analysts highlight Elluminex’s presale as a potential pivot point. Toncoin’s Rocky Road and TON’s DeFi Void Toncoin’s recent slump contrasts sharply with TON’s growth—950 million users and 1 billion transactions. Yet, Toncoin’s DeFi ecosystem remains underdeveloped, mirroring Ethereum pre-Uniswap. Elluminex aims to fill this gap by introducing tools like cross-chain swaps and staking, which are key for retaining TON’s user base. The peak price for Toncoin (TON) hit $8.25 on June 15, 2024. Right now, it's sitting at $3.29, which is over 54% lower than its all-time high. It dropped just 9% over the past week. While Toncoin’s price fluctuates between $3.29 and $3.66, Elluminex’s presale has raised $328,640 at $0.06 per $ELX, offering early access to TON’s DeFi future. For Toncoin holders, diversification into $ELX could hedge against volatility while tapping into TON’s huge potential. Solana’s Strengths and Search for Stability Solana’s 80,000 TPS capability and BungeeExchange’s integration showcase its technical edge, yet Solana’s 10% dip reveals fragility. Trading at $143.80, Solana remains a top-six crypto, but its reliance on volatile meme coins like Bonk and Dogwifhat raises risks. Elluminex’s blueprint—modeled after Solana’s Raydium —offers a parallel: a unified DeFi platform with AI analytics and pre-market token access. In the last 24 hours, Solana (SOL) saw trading volumes hit $1.85 billion, down 41.5% from a day earlier, showing a drop in market activity. The highest price for SOL was $293.31 on January 19, 2025, but right now, it’s sitting 42.63% lower than its ATH. As Solana investors eye safer yields, Elluminex’s audit-backed tokenomics (50% fee burns, 350M supply) present a structured alternative. The shift reflects a broader trend: liquidity migrating to platforms blending utility with scarcity. Elluminex: Building Superior Value vs Toncoin and Solana Elluminex distinguishes itself with phased growth and deflationary mechanics incentivizing early participation. The platform’s cross-chain bridge and TON project's pre-market feature, addresses fragmentation—a pain point for Solana and Toncoin users. By burning 50% of fees, $ELX reduces supply pressure, a tactic echoing Binance’s BNB success. For Solana loyalists, Elluminex offers exposure to TON’s low-fee environment; for Toncoin holders, it unlocks DeFi’s full potential. Solidproof’s audit adds credibility and is mandatory in a market wary of unchecked innovation. Additionally, in contrast to Toncoin or Solana, the core Elluminex team includes a developer from Google, an ex-member of Fantom, and many others from top blockchain projects, all contributing valuable experience in blockchain systems, DeFi ledgers, and cross-chain connections. Toncoin or Solana: Or Elluminex—the DeFi Aggregator? Projects bridging ecosystems often outperform single-chain tokens. For investors, Elluminex isn’t just a new token; it’s a gateway to the next evolution of decentralized finance. As Toncoin and Solana navigate time-tested market volatility, Elluminex emerges as a strategic hedge. Its TON-centric DeFi suite—combining liquidity pools, governance, and AI tools—could replicate Uniswap’s impact on Ethereum. With Solana’s ecosystem bursting at the seams and Toncoin craving utility, $ELX’s staged presale and tokenomics offer a calculated entry.

Elluminex (ELX): New Decentralized Exchange Spearheading DeFi Revolution On Toncoin Nertwork

Elluminex

The decentralized finance space has changed over the years and appears ready to replace traditional finance institutions, which have faced significant regulatory scrutiny, security, and privacy issues. According to Forbes, the DeFi market could explode to over $450B by 2030, which is more than 300% growth from its current market size. Elluminex (ELX) is ideally positioned to grab a share of this growing market thanks to its revolutionary DeFi hub on the TON blockchain. This new project could transform the largely untapped Toncoin network, much like how Jupiter (JUP) revolutionized Solana to become one of the dominant players in DeFi. Since Jupiter's launch, Solana has become a goldmine of explosive meme coin opportunities. Now, market participants anticipate that TON could benefit from its Jupiter-like platform―Elluminex (ELX). Let’s find the possibilities! Elluminex (ELX) To Drive DeFi Adoption On Toncoin Network Despite being among the fastest-growing blockchains, Toncoin is underdeveloped, mainly in terms of the DeFi landscape. However, this might soon change, thanks to Elluminex (ELX). The DeFi platform seeks to leverage the over 950 million users in the network to bring DeFi to the blockchain, transforming it and taking its capabilities and vast reach to the next level. The altcoin seeks to combine fragmented liquidity and leverage TON’s scalability and speed to power cross-chain swaps across 40 networks. Therefore, traders on TON will access liquidity from major networks. This increased liquidity will ensure a more efficient trading experience, minimizing slippage, which is critical for traders since slippage usually eats into profits. This will, in turn, stabilize prices in the TON ecosystem. With this view, more developers could launch on the chain. Jupiter brought this to the Solana network when it launched. Additionally, the project’s non-custodial approach, which does not require rigorous KYC processes, enables users to retain complete control over their assets. What Features Are Triggering Elluminex Adoption? Elluminex seeks to provide a seamless and user-friendly platform that allows users to trade, stake, farm, bridge, and track their portfolios. By combining these features in a single unified platform, Elluminex could open up the DeFi space for beginners and experienced users. The decentralized exchange enables users to trade an array of crypto assets from their wallets to ensure security and control. To empower informed decision-making, Elluminex features an AI portfolio tracker that enables traders to monitor, analyze, and gain insights into their assets’ performance. It also has a comprehensive educational academy that helps users broaden their knowledge of Decentralized finance (DeFi). Additionally, the platform has a pre-market access feature, where users gain early access to new TON projects through an over-the-counter platform before they are officially launched on significant exchanges. This opens the door to opportunities for traders to enter high-potential projects at the nascent stage. Outside of that, users can earn rewards by staking the token and offering liquidity to the ecosystem. ELX Token Set For Exponential Rallies The ELX token will power significant processes within its ecosystem, including governance and staking rewards. At the ongoing presale, Elluminex is selling for only $0.06. Given its innovative features and a focus on accessibility, Elluminex could see exponential growth before the end of its presale, positioning it among the best crypto to watch in 2025. The presale just started a few weeks ago, and Elluminex has already raised over $300,000 in ICO funding. This attests to its growing demand and growth potential. Now could be the best time to join the Elluminex revolution, as it stands a chance of making massive returns. With its cross-chain capabilities and TON’s affiliation with Telegram's nearly 1 billion users, ELX's price will likely skyrocket in the months ahead. This makes it the best DeFi coin to buy now.

XRP In Legal Limbo? Investors Are Turning To Cutoshi For Stable Growth

Cutoshi

The cryptocurrency realm appears to be on a consistent roll, and the never-ending legal disputes regarding the XRP token further complicates matters for the investors. In light of growing regulatory confusion and a series of Ripple’s misfortunes, many are now pivoting to new token offerings that seem to have solid fundamentals. One such offering is Cutoshi (CUTO), which amalgamates a deflationary token with the potent DeFi offering. As the other XRP challenges ramp up, CUTO further attracts attention as a novel community-driven cryptocurrency brand that is capturing the imagination of the investors. Latest On XRP’S Troubles, ETF Issues Even with the enforcement of a bearish atmosphere perpetuated by the turbulent economy, XRP is still neck-deep in protracted litigation with the SEC. Cutoshi looks to be in a great place as tokenomics seem favorable, with strong support building at lower levels. What could be a game changing shift for all of crypto, the SEC recently verified a number of XRP ETF applications, including Grayscale, which finally set off an official countdown of 240 days to get reviewed. Market prediction platforms, for example Polymarket, now puts the chances of XRP ETF approval at a remarkable 81% by 2025 and there is no shortage of hope in optimism surrounding the move. Many investors are also concerned regarding the possible withdrawal of the SEC’s appeal in Ripple’s case. After winning a partial victory in 2023, where a federal judge ruled that XRP’s sales to retail investors did not amount to securities transactions, in the aftermath winning, the SEC still went on more legal actions that have further obscured XRP's regulatory status. Nonetheless, the renewed ETF filings and the SEC’s shifting position suggests that there is indeed some change in the air. Even with the aforementioned developments, the future remains uncertain for XRP and that is the reason why a lot of investors are looking for safe havens in alternative tokens with clearer and more stable regulatory conditions. Cutoshi: A Deflationary Safe Haven With Robust Utility Unlike XRP's continuous legal and regulatory issuance, Cutoshi (CUTO) on the other hand, is positioning itself as a leader of creativity and innovation. Now in Stage 5 of its presale, Cutoshi tokens is currently priced at $0.045, dramatically above the initial launch price of $0.015, and have raised more than $1.8 million. There is a 35% bonus reward for early investors, which makes this opportunity attractive from both a financial and accessibility standpoint. Cutoshi’s Vivid Ecosystem Cutoshi's multi-chain DEX is unique in that it provides a wide range of DeFi services that offer benefits in the real world. The platform facilitates low-cost (0.25%) cross-chain transactions, making trading easier and cheaper for users. In addition to efficient trading, Cutoshi also supports passive income yielding farming and staking programs further enabling everyday transactions to be more wealth accretive over the long-term. Furthermore, the token boasts a deflationary structure, enhancing scarcity and value over time as 7% of the total supply is burned. Cutoshi is unlike any other token because it also has an educational component, the Cutoshi Academy, which breaks down complex concepts in deficit finance and gives users applicable knowledge on blockchain technology. Together with NFT rewards that gamify early adoption, Cutoshi aims to not just serve as a speculative asset, but instead is striving to build an empowering ecosystem that fosters sustainable growth and transparency. With Cutoshi’s innovative use case, it is set to serve as an alternative for investors looking to move away from the legally contentious token XRP. For those looking to make great returns in 2025, Cutoshi seems like a great option. Conclusion Considering XRP still fights legal troubles, while ETF requests and a changing SEC posture cause enthusiasm, investors seem to be more confused. At the same time, Cutoshi has provided relief through its strong DeFi services, deflationary supply, and community driven governance model.

Media and Democracy Project Appeals Dismissal of FOX Broadcast License Challenge

Media and Democracy Project

The Media and Democracy Project (MAD) announced that it has appealed the flawed decision by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Media Bureau (Bureau) to deny MAD’s Petition to Deny and grant the renewal application of Fox owned station WTXF-TV. The appeal highlights a series of serious errors that are inconsistent with the Commission’s prior precedent and The Communications Act. “The decision by previous FCC leadership to ignore Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch’s serious character flaws highlighted in multiple court decisions was as misguided as the current Chair’s decision not to resurrect MAD’s petition,” said Brian Hansbury, Co-Founder of the Media and Democracy Project. “The adjudicated factual findings in the Dominion case, undisputed by Fox, form the backbone of our petition and clearly distinguish it from the frivolous challenges against other networks, which are nothing more than a hyper-partisan attempt to facilitate President Trump's terrifying attempts to censor and coerce speech. The appeal systematically dismantles the Bureau’s rushed decision, highlighting critical flaws in its reasoning along the following key points: Character Matters – The Bureau’s interpretation of Section 309(k) contradicts FCC precedent and the Communications Act. The order cites selectively to past orders while ignoring others including a prior FCC decision rejecting the notion that a character review should be confined “solely to actions that took place at the station.” It was in a prior challenge to a Fox owned station license that the Bureau reaffirmed longstanding precedent, which directly contradicts the MAD dismissal. Fox’s Misconduct Shocks the Conscience – The Bureau erred in concluding that misconduct at an affiliated entity is irrelevant to a renewal application, even when it is so egregious that it shocks the conscience and raises substantial character concerns. It failed to apply the “shock the conscience” standard, which allows the Commission to consider character issues arising from non-adjudicated, non-FCC misconduct. Fox’s Actions Are Not Protected by The First Amendment – MAD’s Petition is not a First Amendment case. Preeminent First Amendment Champion Floyd Abrams settled that debate by filing in support of MAD’s petition. Yet the Bureau’s decision makes an oblique reference to it in dismissing the petition. All broadcast licensees have a statutory duty to operate in the public interest. This case concerns a corporation that, with the knowledge and approval of its top management, broadcast dangerous lies to millions of Americans, sought to overturn a presidential election, and helped incite a riot—all to protect its corporate profits. The issue before the FCC was never about Fox’s right to lie, but rather the consequences of those lies and whether they are a violation of the character requirements expected of those the FCC entrusts to hold a broadcast license. FCC Chair Rosenworcel’s Decision Was Politically Motivated – The prior Chair lumped MAD’s well-documented petition with politically motivated complaints in a shortsighted attempt to score headlines. MAD’s petition was clearly distinct from the others and based on the judicial findings in the Dominion case, which confirmed that Fox repeatedly made false statements that undermined our democracy. MAD also cites two other court decisions that found Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch engaged in a "carefully crafted scheme" in "bad faith" to deprive Lachlan’s siblings of the control to which they are entitled under an irrevocable trust; and that "Murdoch knowingly caused the corporation to violate the law." Even Rupert’s own son, James Murdoch, recently described Fox News's approach as "lying to your audience" to "juice ratings,” according to press reports. “Character cannot be disassembled—you cannot separate it,” said Alfred Sikes, former Republican FCC chair appointed by George H.W. Bush. “Character is character, whether it is done at a broadcast station or a cable channel. The FCC has a duty to overrule this order and hold a hearing so the Commission can follow the evidence. The FCC is a Commission of five persons after-all.” MAD petition is supported by a variety of media and FCC veterans, including: 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 application for review 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.

Bitcoin's Stagnation: Is Cutoshi’s (CUTO) Token Scarcity The Next Bull Market Catalyst?

Cutoshi

The crypto market has matured quite a bit now, but a few things remain the same. One of them is the impact of Bitcoin’s price movement on the overall market. After having an excellent Q4 2024, Bitcoin prices have stagnated at $96k. According to several experts, this is a sign to invest in young DeFi prospects like Cutoshi. Cutoshi is an Ethereum-based meme coin that combines utility and meme culture. This very feature positions itself as a promising contender in the 2025 crypto market. So, let us study further to analyze the impact of Bitcoin’s prices and also how a project like Cutoshi can help diversify your portfolio. The Impact of Bitcoin’s Stagnation Bitcoin’s price consolidation has led investors to go for altcoins capable of delivering exponential returns. Cutoshi, currently in its presale stage, has already raised over $1.7 million in investments and looks like a high-potential asset. With a fixed supply of 440 million tokens and a 7% token burn mechanism, Cutoshi’s deflationary model is much like Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million coins. This means that Cutoshi can benefit from the meme coin virality factor and also add to its long-term value through scarcity. How Cutoshi Stands Out? Cutoshi has developed a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem that has several benefits to offer: Educational DeFi Platform: A free educational platform on DeFi and Web3 to promote the importance of financial knowledge. This initiative not only educates users but also promotes the Cutoshi ecosystem. The Lucky Cat Effect: Inspired by the Chinese Lucky Cat, a symbol of prosperity, Cutoshi can become a popular name in the Asian markets. Cross-Chain DEX and Swapping Platform: Users also await the launch of this decentralized exchange which has low fees (0.25%) and offers liquidity rewards at the same time. Cutoshi vs. Bitcoin: A Comparative Analysis While Bitcoin’s dominance can never be denied, Cutoshi emerges as an attractive alternative: Scarcity vs. Stability: Cutoshi’s deflationary model creates scarcity, potentially attracting long-term value, whereas Bitcoin’s capped supply offers stability but limited price growth because of its massive market cap. Utility vs. Store of Value: Cutoshi’s ecosystem includes a DEX, educational platform, and NFTs, providing practical utility, while Bitcoin remains primarily a store of value. Community Engagement: Cutoshi’s gamified farming and quests foster active participation, contrasting with Bitcoin’s passive investment model.
