3 Tokens Under $4, Ready To Hit $5 By March: Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP) And Cutoshi (CUTO)

Cutoshi

Following Donald Trump’s inauguration, the crypto market appears to be preparing for another rally. Thus, this article will uncover why Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP) and Cutoshi (CUTO) are the top three in our list of the altcoins positioned for the best surge in the following bull run and their potential returns. Cardano (ADA) Rises To Crucial Resistance, Will It Break Out? During the November 2024 rally, the ADA price surged remarkably, and Cardano gained over 300% within a month. Despite the momentum, ADA faced significant resistance from the $1.24 price level, which terminated the uptrend, and Cardano reversed, plunging over 30% in the next three weeks. Due to this decrease in demand, the price slowed down, and ADA traded sideways for over a month. Cardano has recovered significantly in the previous four days and has moved above the 50-day SMA. In the last 24 hours, ADA has surged by 7.43% and is trading at $1.12 but is facing rejection from the immediate resistance at $1.15, from where it has reversed multiple times. If ADA continues to gain demand, the price can move past this resistance level, and with sufficient momentum, Cardano can surpass the $1.24 resistance level to resume the rally. However, if the ADA price is rejected again, support levels exist at $1.05 and $1.02 to break the fall. Ripple (XRP) Continues Rally After Consolidation Ripple performed tremendously in the recent rally, with the price rising by over 400% after breaking from a critical resistance trendline. However, when the price reached $2.9, Ripple lost the upward thrust and started to trade in a symmetric triangle pattern. It continued to trade in this pattern for over a month and slowly consolidated into a tight range-bound price action. Ripple moved above the upper trendline of this triangle last week, has gained over 35% this week, and currently trades at $3.32. The price is only 14.39% below the ATH, which Ripple established over seven years ago, and is steadily rising. The MACD oscillator is rising fast, showing increasing bullish sentiment for Ripple. The price has become overbought due to increasing demand, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 77.3. Ripple may reach a new ATH soon if this bullish pressure continues to push the price with similar momentum.

T3 Financial Crime Unit, Spanish Authorities Freeze $26.4M in Crypto Scheme

TRON DAO

Madrid, Spain – January28, 2025 – The T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU), a joint initiative from TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs, worked with Spain's Guardia Civil to freeze USD 26.4 million linked to a sophisticated money laundering operation. The investigation targeted blockchain addresses connected to an international criminal network. According to Spanish authorities, the organization operated across multiple European jurisdictions, providing cash-to-crypto laundering services for criminal enterprises. The operation represents T3 FCU's largest coordinated freeze since its launch last year. "This operation exposes an uncomfortable truth: Criminals are drawn to the same features that make blockchain revolutionary — speed, efficiency, and borderless transactions. But by freezing over USD 26 million through coordinated action with law enforcement, we're showing that TRON's transparency actually makes it harder, not easier, to launder money,” said Justin Sun, founder of the TRON blockchain. Spanish authorities identified the organization through police surveillance, and were assisted by several investigative measures and Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) Know Your Customer(KYC) records, definitively linking the addresses to money laundering purposes. "This organization moved millions across borders, using both cash and crypto to help criminal groups launder their profits," said a Guardia Civil spokesperson. "Working with T3 FCU, we were able to freeze more than USD 26.4 million in assets. This partnership gives law enforcement powerful new capabilities in our fight against organized crime." The case highlights the growing importance of public-private partnerships in securing digital assets, particularly as stablecoins become increasingly central to global finance. “This operation is a testament to the power of blockchain technology in combating illicit activities,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “As the issuer of USDT, we are committed to protecting the integrity of the financial system and working with global law enforcement to expos e an d dismantl e crimina l networks. Th e freezin g o f th e asset s demonstrate s Tether' s commitment to clamping down on illicit actors and its zero-tolerance approach towards money laundering and financial crime. Let this serve as a clear warning — criminals who attempt to misus e Tethe r wil l ge t caught. T o date, Tethe r ha s als o collaborate d wit h mor e tha n 22 0 la w enforcement agencies across more than 51 jurisdictions to freeze more than 2,400 addresses amountin g t o approximatel y 2. 2 billio n USDT. ” "Financial crime has historically thrived in the gaps between jurisdictions," said Chris Janczewski, head of global investigations at TRM Labs. " What's groundbreaking about T3 FCU is how it mirrors the borderless nature of blockchain itself — combining TRM's global analytic s capabilitie s wit h TRON' s expansiv e networ k an d Tether' s marke t insight s t o suppor t law enforcement wherever crime occurs.” Through its collaboration with law enforcement agencies across five continents, T3 FCU has frozen over USD 126 million linked to illicit activities since launch. The unit combines TRM Labs' blockchai n intelligenc e technolog y wit h TRO N an d Tether' s commitmen t t o ecosyste m securit y to identify and disrupt criminal activity worldwide. About TRON TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps. Foundedin September 2017 by H.E.

Through Vymo’s new partnership with Exavalu, manual onboarding processes can be reduced from two to three months to just a week.” Notes Anthony Iuffredo, “We’ll also work with Exavalu to help insurers optimize their ‘lead to close’ processes, which can be difficult to manage on daily basis. Vymo’s significant AI capabilities combined with Exavalu’s successful strategic advisory solutions in this area will ensure that managing leads across both captive and independent agents, which can run into the thousands, will be seamlessly accomplished. This will provide agents the tools they need to be far more successful and drive additional business from their channels.” Saurav Basu, President and Founder of Exavalu, observes: “A persistent challenge in the insurance industry is low adoption of the digital onboarding and compliance management solutions essential to lowering friction with agents while completing strategic core modernization efforts. Exavalu has chosen to partner with Vymo because they offer a complete distribution management solution specifically tailored to enhance agent onboarding, compliance and lead management activities that complement our carrier client’s digital transformation efforts.

Bitcoin to Skyren: The Evolution of Blockchain Technology

Skyren DAO

By Simon Frasier In 2009, Bitcoin introduced the concept of a decentralized financial system, redefining how we perceive money. However, the blockchain revolution didn’t stop there. Over the years, innovations like Ethereum and decentralized finance (DeFi) have expanded blockchain’s potential, creating tools that go beyond simple transactions and reshape global finance. Skyren DAO marks the next phase in blockchain development with scalable and accessible tools. Its features, including staking, governance, and automated airdrop collection, tackle challenges faced by earlier platforms while giving users opportunities to actively engage in decentralized ecosystems. Bitcoin’s Foundation: Decentralization and Value Bitcoin introduced a revolutionary concept: a decentralized, peer-to-peer system for transferring value without intermediaries. Its foundational features — immutability, finite supply, and global accessibility — redefined financial systems and gave rise to its status as “digital gold.” However, Bitcoin’s design, focused on simplicity and security, comes with significant limitations: Scalability Issues Bitcoin processes approximately 7 transactions per second (TPS), far below the throughput required for mass adoption. This low capacity results in network congestion and increased transaction fees during periods of high demand. Lack of Programmability Unlike platforms such as Ethereum, Bitcoin cannot natively support smart contracts or decentralized applications (dApps). Its limited functionality confines its use primarily to financial transactions. Energy Usage Bitcoin’s reliance on the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism demands high energy consumption, raising environmental concerns and operational costs. Modern Bitcoin Scaling Solutions To address these issues, developers have introduced Layer-2 solutions that operate on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, enhancing its scalability and functionality: Stacks Stacks enables smart contracts and dApps to operate while using Bitcoin as the underlying layer of security. It unlocks programmability without requiring changes to Bitcoin’s base protocol. Rootstock Rootstock functions as a sidechain to Bitcoin, adding Ethereum-compatible smart contract capabilities. It enables token transfers between chains, expanding Bitcoin’s utility beyond simple payments. Lightning Network The Lightning Network addresses Bitcoin’s scalability by creating off-chain payment channels for fast, low-cost transactions. While effective for smaller payments, its focus on simplicity limits its ability to support more complex use cases. While Layer-2 solutions improve Bitcoin’s scalability and functionality, they often require technical expertise to use effectively. For example, setting up payment channels in the Lightning Network or deploying a smart contract on Stacks can be daunting for new users. These barriers highlight the need for more user-friendly approaches to make blockchain technology truly accessible to all. Ethereum and the Rise of DeFi Ethereum introduced smart contracts, which allowed programmable agreements to execute automatically without human intervention. This advancement enabled a variety of decentralized applications (dApps) and the rise of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). Ethereum became a hub for financial tools like lending, staking, and trading, operating without the need for intermediaries. However, Ethereum’s rapid adoption has exposed several challenges: Congestion and High Fees: Ethereum’s popularity often overwhelms the network, resulting in slow transactions and high gas fees, making it less practical for smaller users. Scalability Constraints: With a transaction capacity of 15–30 TPS, Ethereum struggles to keep up with growing demand for dApps and DeFi. Gradual Transition: While Ethereum’s shift to Proof of Stake (PoS) with Ethereum 2.0 aims to address these issues, progress has been gradual, leaving many of its limitations in place for now. These constraints have created opportunities for alternative platforms and Layer 2 solutions to step in, offering faster, more efficient networks for developers and users alike. Skyren DAO: A Polygon-Based DeFi Ecosystem Built for Growth Skyren DAO focuses on creating a platform that balances scalability, accessibility, and user engagement. Built on Polygon Layer-2, it tackles challenges faced by earlier blockchains, offering features designed to simplify and enhance the user experience. Key Features of Skyren DAO Automated Airdrop Collection Skyren DAO includes a system to streamline airdrop participation. Instead of manually tracking and verifying opportunities, users can rely on a curated process that minimizes risks, making it easier to access rewards safely. Staking with 36% APY The platform claims to offer staking options with an annual percentage yield (APY) of 36%. This competitive rate is accessible to all users, as there are no minimum staking requirements, allowing investors of varying levels to participate. Decentralized Governance Skyren DAO is governed by its community through a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). Token holders vote on major decisions such as feature development and treasury management, ensuring the platform reflects the priorities of its users. Polygon-Powered Scalability Operating on Polygon, Skyren DAO benefits from: Affordable transaction fees. Quick processing speeds, even during peak activity. Integration with Ethereum, enabling interoperability with other blockchain systems. Security and Transparency Skyren DAO ensures user confidence with rigorous security measures and transparent operations. The platform tackles common concerns about safety and trust, and aims to position itself as a reliable option for users in the DeFi space. Audited Smart Contracts Third-party audits regularly assess Skyren DAO’s protocols, removing vulnerabilities and ensuring secure functionality. The latest audit report is openly available and can be accessed here. KYC Compliance Know Your Customer (KYC) standards are strictly followed, promoting accountability and protecting against fraudulent activities. Details about Skyren DAO’s compliance efforts are accessible here. Strengthening User Confidence Confidence is built through open communication, community-driven governance, and intuitive security tools. The focus remains on creating an accessible and secure platform where users can participate in staking, airdrop collection, and governance without unnecessary risks. These measures create a secure, transparent environment that encourages user participation while safeguarding funds and data. What’s Next for Skyren DAO? Skyren DAO’s roadmap highlights its commitment to growth and innovation. Key milestones on the horizon include: Cross-Chain Integrations: Plans to expand beyond the Polygon network are underway, enabling compatibility with other blockchains to attract a wider audience. Enhanced DeFi Features: Advanced tools, such as analytics and financial planning resources, will help users maximize their earnings and optimize strategies. Global Growth Initiatives: Marketing campaigns are designed to onboard millions of users globally, making decentralized finance more accessible to individuals everywhere. Ongoing innovation ensures Skyren DAO remains a leader in blockchain technology, continually adapting to meet user needs and market demands. Blockchain technology has come a long way, evolving from Bitcoin’s decentralized origins to platforms like Skyren DAO that provide comprehensive ecosystems for modern users. Skyren builds on blockchain’s potential by offering accessible staking, seamless airdrop collection, and governance tools within a single, cohesive platform. For those interested in decentralized finance, Skyren DAO exemplifies the future of blockchain — where scalability and usability converge, empowering users in an increasingly digital world.

IntusCare Celebrates Milestone Year Building Momentum for 2025

IntusCare

IntusCare, a technology leader in the PACE market, celebrated a transformative year in its offerings for PACE (Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly), underscoring its commitment to supporting value-based care (VBC) models that serve complex senior populations. The company looks to build on the significant momentum in 2025. IntusCare starts the year with additional funding, having recently announced the company raised $11.5 million in a strategic follow-on financing round, bringing total funding to over $27 million. This infusion of capital will fuel the launch of CareHub, a comprehensive care management platform, and support the expansion of IntusCare’s existing suite of Revenue Integrity, Population Health, and Utilization Management solutions. Additionally, the company plans to accelerate its artificial intelligence research, aiming to enhance user experiences for healthcare providers and staff. Notably in 2024, the company announced the launch of two new products and one new service, all specifically designed for PACE. CareHub: The first PACE-specific EMR and practice management system for workflows to manage the VBC model, revolutionizing how interdisciplinary care teams, quality, and compliance managers care for older adults with complex healthcare needs. Intus Revenue Integrity System (IRIS): The first real-time, data-driven risk adjustment system designed specifically for PACE and VBC organizations. IRIS is designed to support PACE and VBC clinical, financial, compliance, and leadership teams to optimize workflows for consistent risk adjustment results. Delegated Utilization Management (UM) Service for PACE: The availability of fractionally-staffed Integrated Care Services (ICS) clinicians and nurses who optimize utilization management for organizations. “This year has been exciting in terms of building a foundation and the momentum to better serve our customers through technology and the expertise we bring to the industry,” said Robbie Felton, CEO and co-founder of IntusCare. “Initially when we started this company during college, we began as a data provider for PACE programs for better care decisions empowered by population health analytics. Now, we’ve grown in scope with delegated services, risk adjustment, and an EMR and practice management system, providing more value to our clients who are empowered to provide even better care for their complex, senior patients.” Much of IntusCare’s growth in scope took place within the last year, propelled by deep partnerships with their customers who shared their needs with the company. The vision for CareHub emerged when customers shared pain points such as reducing staff documentation and administrative burden, integrating disparate data systems, and enabling actionable workflows for interdisciplinary care teams. “Ultimately, we want to be the place where all value-based care organizations that manage risk for complex care come to do their work. CareHub is a key foundation of the ultimate operating system that we're looking to build for the space and community,” said Evan Jackson, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer for IntusCare. Strategic Partnerships Over the last year, IntusCare grew its strategic partnerships, including the addition of new PACE programs as clients along with alliances with other technology companies to improve offerings to customers. IntusCare now serves 70+ PACE organizations across the country, adding 33 new partners in 2024, an increase of ~90% over 2023. This growth is driven by our commitment to both grow alongside our existing partners and expand throughout PACE with the aligned goal of empowering high quality participant care. In addition, IntusCare is breaking down industry silos by prioritizing data access and interoperability through strategic partnerships with leading technology companies. This approach ensures the delivery of impactful, integrated solutions that better serve its customers. An example of how IntusCare is prioritizing interoperability with PACE organizations is through its collaboration with MedVision for seamless data integration, improved care coordination, regulatory and compliance support, and operational and financial efficiencies. Another partnership with Grane Rx will allow their pharmacy solutions to integrate with CareHub supporting medication safety, streamlined workflows, and advanced ePrescribing within the platform for PACE. Thought Leadership Education Providing software solutions is not enough within the complex healthcare environment, including some of the intricacies of PACE. IntusCare used its expertise and connections to support thought leadership educational opportunities to benefit the PACE ecosystem. Chief Population Health Officer Laura Ferrara, an experienced PACE leader, presented at several PACE organization conferences and meetings throughout the year, including a PACE Basics workshop at the National PACE Association’s annual conference in October. In November, IntusCare hosted a virtual conversation on “PACE and the Future of Healthcare Data Interoperability” with leading guests within healthcare and the PACE community. IntusCare CEO Robbie Felton moderated the discussion with Shawn Bloom, CEO and president of the National PACE Association (NPA); Dr. David Feinberg, Chairman of Oracle Health; and Stephanie Rock, Vice President of Product & Client Delivery at IntusCare. Team Growth In order to expand its software and services options, IntusCare strategically grew its team, including the addition of key leadership positions. Bharath Kakarla joined as the Senior Vice President of Engineering to lead the technology team, collaborating closely with product and design counterparts to ensure that IntusCare's products and services align seamlessly with customer needs. Stephanie Rock joined as Senior Vice President of Product and Client Delivery, leading the product and design teams to ensure the company meets the needs of IntusCare’s current and future partners.

Market Alert: PESG Releases New Report Highlighting Silexion Therapeutics as an Emerging Leader in the Multi-Billion Dollar Precision Oncology Industry

Global Markets News

PESG Research releases new market update: Silexion Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SLXN) * continues to strengthen its position in the precision oncology landscape with breakthrough preclinical data validating systemic administration of SIL-204, potentially opening new frontiers in treating KRAS-driven cancers. This development comes amid increasing industry appetite for innovative oncology assets, exemplified by recent multi-billion dollar acquisitions. Silexion's latest preclinical findings mark a significant advancement in RNAi therapeutics, with data showing 50% tumor growth reduction and complete necrosis in half of treated tumors after 30 days, sustained therapeutic levels for over 56 days from a single administration, and broad coverage of key KRAS mutations (G12D, G12V, G12R, Q61H, and G13D). These results build upon previous successes, including promising synergy with first-line chemotherapies and the strategic collaboration with Evonik for advanced PLGA microparticle formulation. The precision oncology landscape has witnessed unprecedented consolidation, with Pfizer's $43 billion acquisition of Seagen and AbbVie's $10.1 billion purchase of Immunogen exemplifying the industry's willingness to invest heavily in innovative cancer therapeutics. These transactions reflect a broader industry shift toward precision medicine, particularly in oncology, where targeted therapies command significant premiums. Silexion's emergence as a potentially compelling player stems from its differentiated RNAi approach to targeting one of oncology's most challenging problems, offering broader applicability across multiple KRAS mutations compared to competitors' small molecule inhibitors. The first-generation LODER™ platform has already demonstrated promising Phase 2 results, while the next-generation SIL-204 advances toward clinical trials with successful validation of systemic administration. Notable industry analysts seem to have taken notice, with Maxim Group initiating coverage with a "strong buy" recommendation in November 2024 and an updated price target of $9. As Silexion advances toward clinical trials with SIL-204 and explores expanded development strategies, several key catalysts may lie ahead and could be worth watching closely, including metastasis impact studies, advancement towards next phases of trials, data from additional indications, potential strategic partnerships, and more positioning the company uniquely in the precision oncology landscape at a time when the industry actively seeks innovative solutions for challenging cancers.
