Regret Passing on Notcoin? Arctic Pablo Is the Best Crypto Presales to Buy in 2025
If you’re an experienced crypto investor or even an enthusiastic follower, you might have already been through this journey. You hear about a new coin like Notcoin, that seems too good to pass up, but somehow, you decide to sit it out. Maybe you thought, “It’s too early” or “The timing doesn’t feel right.” Now, fast forward, and Notcoin’s price has soared, and the opportunity has passed. You regret not jumping in earlier, knowing that you could have been part of something much bigger with just a little foresight. In this article, we’ll explore why Arctic Pablo Coin is quickly emerging as one of the best crypto presales to buy and how you can still secure your position in a project with huge potential for massive returns. Let’s dive into how this meme coin, built on adventure and mystery, is ready to reward early supporters with skyrocketing returns—something that may remind you of your missed opportunities with Notcoin. Arctic Pablo: A Tale of Treasure and Transformation Arctic Pablo is not just another meme coin—it’s a whole adventure wrapped in cryptocurrency form. Set against an icy, mythical land, Arctic Pablo Coin ($APC) embarks on an exploration like no other. Picture this: an explorer named Arctic Pablo, driving a snowmobile across vast frozen terrains, is in search of mystical treasures, each one representing wealth and potential for his community. This coin’s story is immersive and engaging, creating a world where your investment isn’t just about buying tokens, but about joining an adventure. As Arctic Pablo ventures through different realms—each representing a new “location” in the presale—he uncovers hidden treasures that unlock massive gains for early investors. Each week, Pablo moves to a new location, and with every new location comes a rise in the token price. And here’s the kicker: if the treasure is discovered earlier than expected, the price increases faster, and any unsold coins are burned at the end of every week, increasing scarcity and value. Arctic Pablo is a unique meme coin presale that combines adventure with deflationary economics. The early stages of this presale are set at low entry points, with the price increasing each week. But the real magic lies in the coin’s burn mechanism, ensuring that their value is driven up as fewer tokens circulate. Early investors in Arctic Pablo Coin ($APC) stand to gain huge returns, potentially over 39,900% in ROI, as the price rises during the presale stages and the official launch. It is one of the Best Crypto Presales to Buy . Notcoin: A Missed Opportunity or Just the Start? We all know the feeling—the “I should’ve gotten in earlier” regret. When Notcoin took off, many crypto enthusiasts saw its rapid rise and thought, “This is the one I missed.” During its presale, Notcoin was priced at a mere fraction of a dollar, offering a generous early-bird discount to those who were savvy enough to get involved. As the project gained momentum and demand grew, Notcoin’s price surged—leaving early investors sitting pretty with massive profits. But here’s the thing: Notcoin may have been a missed opportunity, but it’s not the end of the road. Just because you didn’t get in on Notcoin doesn’t mean you’ve lost your chance to make it big in the crypto world. Arctic Pablo Coin could be the next Notcoin—if not better. Unlike Notcoin, Arctic Pablo offers a compelling narrative that immerses investors in a world of adventure, scarcity, and wealth-building potential. Conclusion Based on our research and market trends, Arctic Pablo Coin ($APC) is quickly emerging as one of the best crypto presales to buy in 2025. Combining an engaging narrative, deflationary tokenomics, high ROI potential, and a staking program with an impressive 66% APY makes Arctic Pablo an exciting opportunity for new and seasoned investors. Don’t let another Notcoin pass you by—this is your chance to get in on the ground floor of something truly special. With its unique approach, growing community, and increasing demand, Arctic Pablo Coin is set to become one of the most talked-about projects of the year. Join the presale now, secure your tokens, and be part of the adventure that could lead you to massive returns. Now’s the time to act. Don’t miss out—join the Arctic Pablo presale today and start your journey to riches!

Monday Alpha #35
From premia blue blog by Marty Please note that Premia does not provide investment advice, and nothing herein should be construed as such. Anyone considering trading or holding derivatives or crypto assets should be aware that the risk of loss can be very high, and it is upon each individual to seek advice from an appropriate professional advisor. This Wednesday 2pm EST (17hr UTC) is the return of the Marty x Premia show. We have a lot to cover with a returning guest. None other than the fishing macro pimp, CryptoISO himself. We will cover all of the topics below, including The Market vs The Fed. Tune in for Boomer and Vol talk. TL;DR: Reality Check BTC ATM IV 1W: 56.47% 1M: 57.62% 3M: 59.34% 6M: 60.35% Index Price: $91,681 DVOL: 59.81 ETH ATM IV 1W: 76.57% 1M: 70.41% 3M: 69.86% 6M: 70.38% Index Price: $3,009 DVOL: 73.15 Note: Yikes, last newsletter BTC 104k, ETH 4k… Check ETH front-end. Let’s get into it Marty's Thoughts If you're too sensitive and soft, and one directional headed into the market… Probably best you sit down for a reality check. I’m not strictly bullish nor bearish most of the time. We are market makers, we make money when people cross that sweet sweet spread. We hold a spot bag and think BTC goes up against fiat forever… That doesn't mean that my shitposting ends, it will never. When we see things losing or gaining steam, we will comment, X is my free-flowing thots. As a trader, things change in an instant. We rarely as a maker have strictly directional exposure, but we manage some treasuries with call overwriting programs, and this week we sold all the calls. ALL YOU CAN EAT. From far dated OTM wingy stuff, to front-end 10-20delta stuff, we sold it all. Below you can look into my masterclass of TA, the red memelines, they go undefeated. I wanted to take this one to make it more of a blog post into my thots, rather than a data filled word salad. I've always warned about memecoins and always pushed for people to try and find their own edge and stick with it. No one listens. I had a buddy get rinsed, full liquidated on 10x leverage knife catching. Another story I heard was someone running $100 to $1.2mm back to ZERO… I am not sure where these peoples minds are, never full port anything on leverage, and why not take something off the table while you're up 100000x… The human mind works against us sometimes. As Jim The Cat says… “Always Take Profit”. Lets go down memory lane, back to Nov 2024… The first week, BTC was 67k and ETH 2.4k… Now that we are mentally there, do you think we would kick off 2025 with 92k BTC, and 3k ETH. Though to be fair, ETH at 3k isn't saying much, kek… With BTC at ATH levels essentially, people's portfolios are at all time lows… How can this be Marty? They were led to slaughter by their favorite influenza, let's use Banks as an easy example… Banks is always early has turned into a meme, and he leads his audience to the slaughter house. I know there are skeletons in CT, and only one pimp that I've seen has been public about it… from 0 to a few hundred thousand and back to zero this week, going back to get a job in real life. These are the untold stories and walking skeletons that CT has, everyday. For us to win, someone has to lose and that’s the truth about the markets. Now this blog post is getting dark and negative… probably a bottom signal… but we continue nevertheless. Before the Hyperliquid airdrop there were about 50-100 people on CT that had over 50-100k liquid, and that’s the truth. A lot of people on Twitter just sit around and mope without ever making any money, and that’s ok… Just don't act like you're a baller. I wanted to show my new favorite charts in Cripto lately. Hyperliquid's very own trader PNL and liquidations charts. Total traders net PNL = -50mm+, while liquidations are up to near 18b… This goes to show you that majority don't know anything, and the house always wins. Sure, the house has risk and there is no free lunch, they are in the business of housing risk, managing it, and profiting from doing so. Again, for every winner there is a loser. That's the game we play. This is public on their website. For the past month or two, we have been writing about rebalance season. Rotations were getting and still are getting faster… We have seen this all come to fruition. Let’s get an update on the current returns below… As we approach chop city, your only goal is to survive. Crypto 1-Month Returns Charts from Velo Data: https://velodata.app/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/VeloData?s=20 From top to bottom… 1-month returns in large caps, mid caps, and small caps. Giga rinsed. This is the reality, and it’s barely just setting in for the majority of people. NOT ONE MID CAP IS GREEN… NOT ONE… Insane reality, but it is the truth. Majority of you guys would be better off getting a job and stacking sats, you would probably outperform your favorite influenza. We don't trade memes, we don't understand them, and we stay away, far far away. If this is your first read of the blog, I am sorry… But long term readers know this is just a faze, ill snap out of it. The boomer in me has taken over my body this week, and we are in preservation mode, not risk on mode. Someone play that OK BOOMER tiktok of that lady dancing and singing… sigh. Now what Marty? What's next? I’m not too sure. We front ran the upside of the market a lot after Trump announcement, 67k to 108k in the matter of weeks. In my last write up, I was and still am ready for the chop. Chop a 20-30k range while the market settles and reprices things. We started this, with price down 15k off the highs. Looking forward… This week is a BIG WEEK as Silbert would put it. We have PPI tomorrow, CPI the day after, and Trumpet joins office next Monday… BIG WEEK. If we zoom out a little, there are larger things at play here… It’s not just those dirty market makers hunting your stops… The FED has started cutting rates, trying to boost the economy while stating that the economy is stable and that they are going to use all their tools to get to their targets… The market is calling the FED's bluff, though rates are being cut, rates have gone HIGHER. This sort of disconnect in the market is not good, Mr. Market likes CERTAINTY. When we have uncertainty, we get what is happening now. Not just Cripto is down, stonks are also getting rinsed. BOOMERS IN CONTROL. This Wednesday 2pm EST (17hr UTC) is the return of the Marty x Premia show. We have a lot to cover with a returning guest. None other than the fishing macro pimp, CryptoISO himself. We will cover all of these topics, including The Market vs The Fed. Tune in for Boomer and Vol talk. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk, now lets cover some quick options and wrap it up on this Monday. To Join Greekslive Block Marketplace: t.me/GreeksLive Find Greekslive On Twitter: https://twitter.com/GreeksLive What a week of trades, Mega bullish, some cashed, others getting rinsed. These are the largest block trades through the Greekslive marketplace. We can never see the traders’ whole portfolio, we just get this small insight to what the larger players are doing, it seems a few of them got caught on the wrong side, sellers in control. Wrap Up Boomers are in control, there are larger forces at work right now, cripto is just a follower of USD liquidity. This "negative” article is just a faze, a lil’ snap out of it. Bull Marty is the best version of Marty. Memes are just memes, that’s it, don't get caught holding the bag.

Analysts say January Bitcoin decline is typical in post-halving years
Multiple market analysts say it is not unusual for Bitcoin to undergo a correction in the January that follows a halving year. This comes after BTC’s price has seen a 10% decline in the last few days. It has, however, marginally recovered to around $94,000 after falling from a peak of $102,300 on January 7. Historical trends of January dips after halving Bitcoin has seen more intense market corrections in previous halving years. After plunging more than 25% in 2021, the cryptocurrency gained 130% to record new highs around $69,000 later that same year. Before that, Bitcoin suffered a 30% decline in January 2017 before soaring 2,400% to reach $20,000 in the months that followed. According to crypto analyst and trader Axel Bitblaze , “Bitcoin dumping in January has historically been a common occurrence in post-halving years.” He added, “We all know what happened after the 2017 and 2021 dumps.” The recent 10% drop from Bitcoin’s all-time high price is nothing compared to previous pullbacks in the leading crypto’s price. Stockmoney Lizards also maintains a positive outlook for BTC. According to the analyst, “Bitcoin has NOT reached the ultimate hype/pump phase.” Stockmoney Lizards also referenced significant drivers that could boost BTC’s price, including wider market adoption, crypto legislation, and the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs. See also Bitcoin investors withdraw from spot ETFs at almost record rates as BTC corrects Considering previous market behaviors, if history repeats and Bitcoin follows the 130% increase that it experienced in 2021, its new price might reach $200,000 in Q4 2025. However, if this cycle follows the January pullbacks of previous years, the leading crypto’s price may fall further to $70,000. Key factors that could push the market forward in 2025 The crypto market is expected to be pushed by several key factors in 2025. First, increasing institutional adoption could bring more liquidity and price stability to the market, especially if spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs (exchange-traded funds) attract more capital. Additionally, a growing number of governments are introducing policies to promote crypto adoption that will create a more favorable environment for digital assets. Most notably, incoming US President Donald Trump is expected to introduce more favorable crypto policies that encourage innovation in the Web3 space. Other governments are also exploring the possibility of launching a strategic BTC reserve to combat inflation. Should these initiatives become a reality, they could introduce more buying power into the market and solidify BTC’s status as a hedge against inflation.

Notcoin price surges by over 8% in the last 24 hours
The cryptocurrency market is trying to recover from a bearish trend, with Bitcoin currently priced at around $94,000. Altcoins are also experiencing slight gains, although the market has been quiet over the weekend. Upcoming events, particularly Trump’s swearing-in, may influence market activity next week. Notcoin has emerged as a standout performer, experiencing a 7.09% price increase after a week of declines. On January 10, Notcoin (NOT) was trading at $0.0059 but quickly gained momentum, surpassing the $0.006 resistance level and currently trading at approximately $0.0064. As of the latest data, NOT is priced at $0.006426. Looking at the weekly performance, Notcoin has seen a 5.43% dip. It started the week at $0.006876 but dropped to around $0.005. If Notcoin maintains its current upward trend, it could reach higher prices. The price action of Notcoin shows a horizontal channel pattern, indicating consolidation of support and resistance levels. This pattern often leads to either a breakout or a decline. Technical analysis reveals that the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signal line is above the MACD line, suggesting a favorable trading environment. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 45.84, approaching neutral market sentiment. These indicators, along with the trading pattern, imply that Notcoin may experience bullish trends soon. Other altcoins, including Ethereum and SUI, have also shown price increases recently. Overall, the market is cautiously optimistic about potential gains in the coming days.
7 Days to Go For Donald Trump’s Inauguration: Crypto Market Braces For Impact
As the countdown to Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States enters its final week, crypto market participants are closely monitoring the situation. With just seven days remaining before the January 20 ceremony, investors and analysts alike are bracing for the impact of Trump’s return to the White House. Has the Market Already Priced in Trump’s Victory? Many in the cryptocurrency market are wondering if the market has already “priced in” his victory for Bitcoin. The term “priced in” refers to the idea that markets have already absorbed and reflected expectations about a future event or development in the current asset prices. Analysts like Dan Gambardello and Hoeem believe that the market has not yet priced in Trump’s inauguration. This means there is room for a crypto rally once Trump takes office. “People think the pro-crypto Trump presidency and governments racing to buy Bitcoin is priced in. It’s very simply not priced in,” Gambardello posted on X. Crypto expert Hoeem echoed the sentiments of many when he said, “Donald Trump’s inauguration is NOT priced in.” “Trump will back pedal anything that negatively impacts the crypto market. Trump will double down on anything that positively impacts the crypto market. He wants, from day one, the pump to pump and keep f*cking pumping not only for his team and families strong connections to the market but for simply his ego alone,” Hoeem added. It appears that even traditional finance markets are waiting to capitalize on a crypto bull run under Trump. According to a Bitwise survey, 56% of financial advisors said that Trump’s victory made them more likely to invest in crypto. Among those already investing in crypto, 99% plan to either maintain or increase their crypto allocations in 2025. Caution vs. Optimism: Crypto Market Prepares for Trump Amid hopes for a bull run once Trump takes office on January 20, some argue that caution is necessary. The New York Digital Investment Group said that it could take time before Trump delivers on his campaign promises. NYDIG warned that there won’t be any changes to crypto policy immediately after the inauguration, especially as some top government positions have yet to be filled. “We would caution on expecting immediate changes. Key officials still need to be named, those that have been named need to go through the confirmation process, and then once confirmed they need to assemble their staff,” NYDIG explained. Also, the authorities have not yet revealed who will head agencies like the CFTC, OCC, and FDIC. Nevertheless, NYDIG expects that “they will be pro-Bitcoin and crypto as well.” During his previous presidency, Trump’s policies significantly influenced financial markets, including cryptocurrency. His administration often took an ambiguous regulatory stance, contributing to the volatility of the digital asset space. Now that Trump has clearly vocalized his support for crypto, it needs to be seen how soon he can bring his promises to life. In the days leading up to the inauguration, the crypto community remains cautious yet optimistic.
Dropping $7.5k to source high quality alpha
From terminallyonchain xyz by YB Happy Friday Terminally Onchain fam! So I already had a post drafted for today in which I give a breakdown of Google's new 42 page paper on Agents. But I sat down at this coffee shop an hour ago and have something else on my mind that I feel like I just HAVE to get out today. Because I hate myself, I'm locking in for the next few hours and will "freestyle" this post and send the Google paper analysis next week. Okay, so what's this other topic on my mind that feels so urgent? Well, here's the thing. I never have considered myself a trader. And I realistically never will. And because of this, I naturally don't get fancy with my "tooling". No price alerts and no spending time on "Bloomberg terminal" type products and definitely no leverage/perps. As many of you know by now, my style is to pick a few projects or trends that hook me and spend an absurd amount of time diving into the nitty gritty. That's how I'm able to consistently produce 3k+ word deep dives twice a week. Don't worry, this is NOT changing lol. But I'll admit that I'm really struggling to keep up with everything that's going on in the crypto x AI sector and I consider that to be part of my job. I feel like everyday I wake up to a bunch of different things that I'm shocked I didn't know about. I'm not saying that I need to have insight about every single project and spread myself thin (most of them are total bs anyways). But I do feel like currently I'm still missing out on significantly important developments. Now let me ask you something. If I'm spending 10+ hours a day researching these topics and keeping up with crypto twitter, then how is it possible that I still feel so behind and am missing so many new narratives? The answer to that I believe is because I am not being efficient about my information inputs. I'm working hard, but not smart in terms of keeping up. Doing good research and writing is one thing (which I believe I do a decent job at). But the other part of the job is knowing what topics to research and when to research them. So with that being said, let's talk about how I'm going to start getting better at sourcing projects, trends, narratives, etc. To be clear, this isn't something I'm spending a lot of time on; rather, the goal is to build a ~10 minute daily routine while I have my morning coffee so I know what the rest of crypto agent (?) twitter is paying attention to. To start off, I'm going to focus on using Cookies.fun Cookie I want to clarify that this is not a sponsored post. I just think that by seriously integrating Cookies into my workflow, I'll do a much better job of keeping up. This morning, I decided to go ahead and spend ~$7.5k to buy 10k cookie tokens and access the premium features. Let's dive in. Know when to strike I've been quite impressed by the Cookies.fun team the last few months. When Goat launched back in October, the team immediately understood that the agent vertical was going to be the main narrative for this bull cycle. So they decided to go all in and make the best analytics & data platform for all things AI agents. There are other tools such as aiagenttoolkit , kaito (not just agents), etc. but I think Cookie is by far the best in terms of what most people need. I got a chance to talk to the founders back in December and loved hearing about how they're thinking about the months ahead as well as how they're trying to keep the product as crypto native as possible (i.e. token gated features, leaning into crypto twitter analysis, etc.) tl;dr of the tool itself: Tracking 1000+ agents: their mindshare on crypto twitter, social media engagement, market cap vs. presence, etc. Team has been indexing onchain and social media data to figure out what exactly is happening in the vertical - both from a qualitative and quantitative standpoint Basic features for anyone to go explore on the site. 10,000 $COOKIE needed to access premium features The $COOKIE token market cap is currently hovering between $150 million - $200 million and was just listed on Binance perps today Also have a rich API for others to integrate. An example is Virtuals including "mindshare" on their UI Let's get into the tool itself. Features & My Commentary Free Features This first section gives a glance into the agent vertical. Top left has # of agents + marketcap. I don't really care too much for the number of agents, a lot of them are slop. But the marketcap metric is definitely useful to see how much capital is pouring into the crypto agent space.I'm not saying we should compare market caps to other sectors, but I did find this chart by Messari below interesting. Pretty wild to see how closely the agent meta is tracking the defi market cap from 2020/2021.Defi peaked at a ~65 billion market cap before the entire crypto market tanked in May of 2021 (who else remembers that dreadful week?)We're about a 5x away from that number...maybe something to just keep in the back of our heads? As I mentioned in my last post though, let's not let these cycle comparisons get the best of us. How key agent ecosystems are performing (mainly Virtuals and ai16z) rn --> curious to see how this changes in the next 6 months.I was reading this article on a new agent framework (Pippin) earlier today and I thought it would be worth sharing the first two paragraphs. I don't have any comments on the framework itself, but I did find the quote below a good reality check on not getting too attached to any one ecosystem just yet. It's only been 3 months since Goat launched! One of the things I find most common in crypto, especially within hot new sectors, is that most people who find a "good project" that goes vertical will form tunnel vision. This may be good for the short term, but what happens when variables change, and you do not adapt properly? I think it is very naïve to think that the current leaders in a 4 month old sector will continue to be leaders, especially as more advanced developers and technology continue to come forward. AI Agents Mindshare - never have I used the word "mindshare" so much as I have in the last two months. But the reality is that it does matter a lot to see what the markets are most focused on. The majority of mindshare is dominated by platforms and large players such as aixbt and zerebro. But the interesting part here is to see the small players that rotate under the 5% mindshare level. Why did they pick up all of a sudden? Any interesting news? This feature is self-explanatory but basically the general chart of all the agents that can be sorted by mindshare and marketcap.Seems like the no brainer thing to do to is source new narratives that are emerging by finding the projects that rank abnormally high in mindshare compared to their marketcap. So if a sub $10m market cap project is on par with $100 million market cap projects in terms of mindshare, there's a good chance a new development is brewing. This is a REALLY COOL feature. You can see KOLs that mentioned a certain agent on Twitter and it takes you directly to their tweet. Basically tracking the types of influencers involved and how that's affecting the mindshare. It's also interesting to see how early certain folks got involved and then check what the context was in terms of how they came across it. A good way to refine your own sources of finding new narratives.Honestly such a creative feature and something I wouldn't even have thought of asking for. Premium Features Holders & Whales - for each token you can see a detailed breakdown of how much control the insiders have. Specifically, I think the top 10 holders % matters the most for projects that are under a month old and haven't picked up momentum. Easiest way to understand how much of the plan is to actually ship vs rug. One caveat here is making sure to check if the devs locked up their tokens in any liquidity pool (if that's the case, I'm guessing it wouldn't show up in the holder % but just wanted to mention that as a strong pro point).The reason I think this metric matters in terms of research perspective is because at times glorious, bold ideas are thrown out with a contract address and twitter account attached to them. But in reality, is the vision even practical at the current moment? Or is it all just big talk? For example, back in November, I mentioned a project called $CHAOS that I thought had a cool vision of robotics + agent blah blah. And although I still think the concept itself is cool, the project turned out to be a complete waste of time and I'm glad I didn't spend more efforts looking into it. Social media engagement - great way to see how the agents themselves are doing in terms of posting and what the main tweets people are engaging with are. Not much to say here other than the fact that it saves me a lot of time from trying to stalk through different accounts, play the twitter lists game, etc. The next two screenshots are from a special section where you get access to detailed mindshare dashboards by @s4mmyeth (a must follow if you haven't already). This first chart gives insight on most recent momentum shifts. It seems like this chart will be the one I probably use the most given how active I already am in the space. Anything that has a 12-24 hour spike will be essential for me to check so I can get into the weeds of anything new.For example, out of nowhere (or what it seemed like to me), it felt like there was a massive shift to agents x metaverse / avatars this week and it was tough for me to understand why. I looked into it and realized that Holoworld was the main driver. Then that forced me to go through the docs and form my own opinion. The second chart is similar to the first but measures market cap vs smart engagement on week to week basis. Basically showing us if things were just a quick hype moment or if they're actually sustaining interest. I'll want to double down on any projects where smart engagement continues to increase even when the agent vertical is having a correction. The last feature worth mentioning is the market cap and mindshare scatter plot. This is a fantastic graph because it gives you a real time understanding of what potential projects are "soon to pop off". The above screenshot is a zoomed out version so you can see the obvious one of aixbt in terms of having a much lower market cap compared to its mindshare. This is mainly because its not a "agent framework" and right now the narrative is pushing a lot of capital towards the infra "L1 plays" we talked about on Tuesday's post.But if you zoom into the bottom left corner, you can really start to see interesting alpha. I zoomed in like 4x to focus on all the agents under a $20m market cap. And I'm amazed to see so many projects I've never even heard of. But at least now I know it's worth my time to look into wtf Seraph, Kudai, Kween, Trust, etc. are. Makes my life like a million times easier in terms of making sure I'm not in my own little biased bubble.To be clear, just because the charts signal I should check out those projects doesn't mean that I will actually deep dive into all of them. All of the projects in this chart below might not be worth my time at all, but the point is that it's a much better filter to source projects this way rather than trying to find alpha on Twitter by doomscrolling. That's all I had for today's post in terms of taking time to go through the Cookies platform. I know the above details definitely leaned towards "trading vibes" and it feels weird to me because I always hated looking at charts when it came to projects. My preference is obviously whitepapers and calls with founders. But I think it's time to correct some of my bias and understand that the mindshare and smart engagement metrics that Cookie provides is different from just normal trading strategies. I'll keep you all posted the next few weeks on how useful I'm actually finding the premium features. Today was day 1 so there was definitely a lot more of that initial excitement, but let's see if it lasts. I hope everyone has a great weekend, see you all on Tuesday! - YB

Ethereum and Solana staking no longer classified as collective investment schemes in the UK
The UK Treasury has introduced an amendment to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA), effective January 31, to exclude crypto staking from being classified as a collective investment scheme. Under this change, staking Ethereum ( ETH ) and Solana ( SOL ) will be recognized solely as a process for blockchain validation, no longer subject to the regulatory requirements applicable to collective investment schemes. Previously, vague regulatory definitions created the risk of categorizing staking alongside traditional pooled investment vehicles, which are subject to stricter FSMA regulations. The amendment clarifies that staking, which involves participants locking crypto to validate blockchain transactions and secure the network, is fundamentally different and warrants a tailored regulatory framework. Bill Hughes, a lawyer at Consensys , welcomed the move as a significant step for the industry, emphasizing that UK law traditionally regulates collective investment schemes with a heavy-handed approach which would have stifled growth. He added: “The way a blockchain works is NOT an investment scheme. It’s cybersecurity.” Consequently, businesses and individuals engaged in blockchain staking now have regulatory clarity, enabling them to operate without the burden of compliance measures designed for collective investment schemes. Notably, the move aligns with the UK’s broader strategy of fostering innovation in the crypto sector while maintaining proportionate oversight to protect market participants. In November last year, the UK government announced it would develop regulations to boost regional innovation. The plans included guidelines for stablecoins and a new regulatory status for staking. The goal is to avoid hindering technological innovation and leaving the UK behind in the crypto arms race. Unique process The amendment explicitly acknowledges the unique nature of staking, ensuring it is not subjected to inappropriate regulatory frameworks. It defines a “qualifying crypto asset” as crypto that meets criteria specified in existing UK legislation, which recognizes these assets for regulatory purposes. Meanwhile, “blockchain validation” addresses validating transactions on blockchain networks or similar distributed ledger technologies, often supported by staking mechanisms. The amendment is particularly relevant to significant blockchain networks like Ethereum and Solana, which rely on staking for transaction validation. The change could boost the value accrual for companies holding these assets and foster the offering of exchange-traded products that leverage staking in the UK.

BTFD Coin with Its BIG50 Bonus, Notcoin and Degen with Their Utility Are the Best Meme Coins to Invest in This Month
The crypto world’s buzzing, and it’s not slowing down. If you’ve been on the hunt for the best meme coins to invest in this month , you’re in for a treat. With BTFD Coin’s presale blowing past $4.9 million in record time, meme coins are proving their staying power yet again. Not to mention, their rise isn’t just a trend – it’s a revolution. Remember 1973? The world economy took a nosedive, and savvy investors who bought the dips came out swinging with massive gains. Fast forward to today, meme coins are the modern-day opportunity hiding in the chaos. They’re the digital answer to investing in turbulent times – fun, engaging, and potentially life-changing. Among them, BTFD Coin stands tall, promising to redefine meme coin dominance with its P2E game, referral programme, staking rewards, and vibrant community. But what about its competitors? Let’s dive into why BTFD Coin, alongside Notcoin and Degen, are the best meme coins to invest in this month. BTFD Coin: The Bull That Never Quits BTFD Coin is smashing records faster than anyone expected. Starting at a humble $0.000004 in Stage 1 of its presale, it’s now in Stage 13, priced at $0.000142 – that’s a massive ROI! If you’re eyeing exponential returns, BTFD is where the magic’s at. Analysts are already predicting that by the end of its presale, priced at $0.0006, it’ll leave early investors grinning ear to ear. Why is BTFD so popular? It’s not just the presale hype. It’s got a robust ecosystem backing it. There’s the P2E game that’s launched to be a blockbuster in crypto gaming, offering players real rewards while having a blast. Then there’s the referral programme – share the word, and you’re rewarded in BTFD tokens. Add staking rewards to the mix, and it’s a trifecta of earning potential. Want numbers? Let’s talk big. Over $4.9 million raised in under a month. More than 7,600 bullish investors are already onboard, with over 62 billion coins sold. Missed earlier stages? Don’t fret. Use the BIG50 code to get 50% more coins at a mere $0.000142. That’s a deal you shouldn’t blink at. And getting in is easy. Just visit BTFD Coin’s presale page , connect your wallet, and enter the BIG50 code for a sweet bonus. It’s smooth sailing from there. Notcoin: Nostalgia Meets Next-Gen Utility Notcoin is like a throwback to the early days of meme coins when Dogecoin was just a joke. But don’t let its humour fool you – Notcoin’s got teeth. Riding on the meme coin craze, it’s managed to carve out a niche by blending nostalgia with utility. Think of it as the golden retriever of crypto – everyone loves it, and it’s loyal to its community. The big draw for Notcoin is its decentralised finance (DeFi) features. It’s giving holders access to staking, lending, and yield farming opportunities. Plus, its recent partnership with a popular NFT marketplace is turning heads. Collectors and investors alike are flocking to its platform to get in on the action. However, Notcoin’s presale performance hasn’t been as explosive as BTFD’s. While it’s holding steady, it lacks the overwhelming momentum that BTFD Coin is riding on. The community is smaller but fiercely loyal, making it a safer, albeit slower, option for those dipping their toes into meme coin waters. The question is, will slow and steady win the race? Time will tell. But for now, if you’re after fast ROI and adrenaline-fuelled investment excitement, BTFD Coin still has the edge. Degen: The Risk-Taker’s Delight If BTFD Coin is the bullish hero and Notcoin the nostalgic veteran, Degen is the wild card. It’s unapologetically chaotic, which is exactly what its fans love about it. Designed for the ultimate risk-takers, Degen thrives on volatility and high-risk, high-reward dynamics. Its selling point? Unpredictability. The team behind Degen intentionally keeps the roadmap vague, adding to its allure. You never know what’s coming next – it could be a massive pump, or a quirky partnership announcement, or a surprise burn event. While this keeps things exciting, it also makes Degen a less reliable option for risk-averse investors. That said, its small but devoted community is betting big on its potential. Early adopters have seen their portfolios swell in value, thanks to Degen’s explosive rallies. But without the structured ecosystem or long-term vision of BTFD Coin, Degen’s appeal feels more fleeting. If you’re after a moonshot gamble, Degen might be your play. But if you want a meme coin that balances fun with substance, BTFD Coin is the smarter bet. How to Join the BTFD Coin Presale Ready to jump in and snag some $BTFD? Here’s how: Head to the presale page . Connect your wallet (like MetaMask or Trust Wallet). Enter the bonus code BIG50 and click “Apply” for the bonus. Input the amount you want to invest, review the price, and confirm the transaction. It’s simple, fast, and a no-brainer for anyone serious about getting into one of the best meme coins to invest in this month. Bottom Line BTFD Coin is leading the charge as one of the best meme coins to invest in this month. Its explosive presale performance, innovative ecosystem, and strong community backing make it the top pick. Notcoin and Degen are exciting contenders, but they can’t quite match BTFD’s momentum. Don’t miss your chance to buy the dips and turn today’s chaos into tomorrow’s success. Use the BIG50 bonus code and secure your spot in BTFD Coin’s presale now!

BTFD Coin, Popcat, and Notcoin May Just Be the Best Meme Coins to Invest in Now [Here’s Everything You Need to Know]
Meme coins have officially graduated from the sidelines of crypto to centre stage. What started as quirky experiments are now serious contenders for investor dollars, with tokens gaining value faster than a trending TikTok video. If you’re scouring the market for the best meme coins to invest in now, three names should be at the top of your list: BTFD Coin, Popcat, and Notcoin. Each one offers a unique twist on the meme coin formula, and together, they’re creating waves that are impossible to ignore. Take BTFD Coin, for example. Its presale has already raised over $4.8 million, and it’s just getting started. With over 61 billion coins sold and a loyal community of 7,300+ holders, it’s one of the most talked-about projects this year. While BTFD Coin leads with strategy and savvy (and an awesome 50% bonus offer that you can unlock using the BIG50 code), Popcat banks on pure internet meme appeal, and Notcoin turns the meme coin playbook on its head. Let’s dive into what makes each of these coins a standout in their own right. BTFD Coin: The Crypto Bulls Are Charging BTFD Coin doesn’t just wear its meme coin status like a badge of honour—it turns it into a rallying cry. Named after the bold mantra “Buy the Dip,” this token is tailor-made for investors who want to flip market downturns into opportunities. But what makes BTFD Coin truly remarkable is how it blends meme culture with solid, long-term potential. The presale stats alone speak volumes: raising $1 million in 10 days, crossing the $2.5 million mark within two weeks, and now standing tall at over $4.8 million. The current price of $0.000142 makes it an enticing pick for early adopters before the coin skyrockets after its exchange debut. Add in high-yield staking options with an average APY of 90% and the charismatic Bulls Squad characters (looking at you, Raging Bull), and you’ve got a project that combines fun, strategy, and community. If you’re after one of the best meme coins to invest in now, BTFD Coin is as bullish as it gets. Plus, BTFD Coin’s P2E game is now available (in full version), providing players with a platform for both gameplay and earning. But what’s the buzz about that 50% festive offer? This deal presents an opportunity to invest like legends like Warren Buffett, who bought the dip during the 1973 market crash and later made huge gains when the market surged. In a similar fashion, the BIG50 bonus rewards you with a 50% bonus, helping you maximise your gains. Now’s the time to stack up on $BTFD and position yourself for potential market success. No hassle! Join the BTFD Coin presale on their official website . Connect your MetaMask or Trust Wallet, and use bonus code BIG50 for a 50% $BTFD Coin bonus. This offer ends on January 5th. Don’t hesitate! Popcat: The King of Clickbait Crypto Move over Doge; there’s a new feline in town. Enter Popcat, a meme coin inspired by the viral sensation of the same name. If you’ve ever clicked on a Popcat meme or participated in its viral game, you’re already halfway to understanding its appeal. This token doesn’t just capitalise on internet humour—it embodies it, offering a quirky, lighthearted take on what a crypto community can be. Popcat has one of the most active and entertaining social media followings in the meme coin world. But don’t be fooled by its playful exterior. Popcat has a roadmap that includes NFT collaborations and gamified staking, making it a serious contender in the market. The coin’s low entry price and clever marketing campaigns have analysts buzzing about its potential to grow exponentially. For anyone seeking the best meme coins to invest in now, Popcat is a delightful mix of meme chaos and financial promise. Notcoin: Turning the Meme Coin World Upside Down The most unorthodox pick on this list is Notcoin, a self-aware project that thrives on irony. Notcoin flips traditional crypto marketing on its head, using parody and satire to attract investors who appreciate a good laugh alongside their potential returns. What sets Notcoin apart is its anti-hype approach. While most meme coins rely on relentless marketing, Notcoin opts for understatement, with a minimalist website and cryptic tweets that leave followers guessing. This strategy has cultivated a cult-like community of savvy investors who see Notcoin as the ultimate insider’s joke—and the joke, it seems, is paying off. With plans for a DAO-driven future and the launch of a meme-themed metaverse, Notcoin is proving that you don’t need flashy gimmicks to succeed. It’s a dark horse in the race for the best meme coins to invest in now, offering a refreshing alternative to the more traditional meme coin formulas. Why These Coins Are Worth Watching The meme coin space has never been more exciting—or more competitive. BTFD Coin leads the pack with its robust ecosystem and impressive presale stats. Popcat captures the zeitgeist of internet culture, translating it into an engaging crypto project. And Notcoin turns the industry’s norms on their head, proving that irreverence can be just as profitable as strategy. What all three coins have in common is their ability to leverage community-driven growth. Meme coins thrive on shared humour, passion, and creativity—and these projects deliver on all fronts. Whether you’re looking for long-term staking rewards, viral appeal, or a unique take on the crypto game, there’s something here for every kind of investor. Final Thoughts: Why BTFD Coin Is the Must-Watch Star of the Trio While all three coins bring something unique to the table, BTFD Coin stands out as the most well-rounded investment opportunity. BTFD Coin’s fully realized P2E game is now accessible, enabling players to play and earn rewards at the same time. With its explosive presale growth, high-stakes APY, and unbeatable BIG50 bonus, it’s a project built for both fun and financial success. As its presale gains momentum, now is the time to join the ranks of the Bulls Squad before the price climbs higher. Meme coins are all about timing, and when it comes to BTFD Coin, the timing couldn’t be better. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a meme coin newbie, this is one project you won’t want to miss. Ready to ride the wave? Head over to the presale page, grab your stake, and let the bulls lead the way!

XRP Users Warned of Sophisticated Scams: How to Protect Your Crypto
Scammers hijack networks and fabricate urgent alerts, pressuring victims to share sensitive account details unknowingly. Implementing 2FA, avoiding suspicious links, and verifying security alerts directly prevents unauthorized account access. As cryptocurrency adoption expands, so does the presence of increasingly sophisticated scams targeting users. Investors must remain vigilant, as fraudsters continuously refine their techniques to exploit fear and urgency. Recently, John Deaton, a crypto attorney and XRP advocate, shared a personal experience to highlight how easily users can fall victim to these tactics. ⛔️ A CRYPTO WARNING ⛔️ As crypto prices rise and new people enter the space, so do scammers. Some scamming operations are quite sophisticated, whether related to your private wallet or an exchange account. If you get an email with a link do not click the link unless you are… https://t.co/1OVTRcWFdS — John E Deaton (@JohnEDeaton1) January 3, 2025 Exploiting Fear to Gain Access Scammers rely on psychological manipulation, creating a false sense of urgency to push users into making impulsive decisions. Deaton’s account reveals how cybercriminals hijacked his WiFi network, fabricated a security alert, and impersonated Uphold Support to steal login credentials. This elaborate scheme demonstrates how fraudsters blend technology and deception to gain access to sensitive information. “…What I didn’t realize yet, was that the hackers had hijacked my WiFi and was online with me, sharing my screen, waiting for me to enter my password so they could lock me out and steal my crypto…” Key Lessons to Protect Your Crypto Deaton’s experience underscores critical security measures that every crypto user should implement: Never click links in unsolicited emails, even if they appear legitimate. Always verify directly through official websites. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on all accounts to add an extra layer of security. Never share passwords or seed phrases, even with supposed support representatives. Use a separate network or cellular data for logging into crypto-related accounts when suspicious activity arises. I REPEAT!!!!!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 DO NOT fall for a threatening email. The scammer here is trying to get the seed/recovery phrases from the public. These words (12/24) activate your wallets on the blockchain. They are for YOU and YOU only! The scammers activates YOUR wallets in… pic.twitter.com/HjU2okP0Wf — James Rule XRP 👊😎 (@RuleXRP) January 3, 2025 The Need for Increased Awareness As scam operations become more sophisticated, education and proactive security measures are essential. Cybercriminals exploit moments of panic, making even experienced users susceptible to deception. If you receive a threatening email, OPEN your app to validate "no issues" (Ledger Live, Ellipal, Coinbase, Amazon, Bank etc) Companies will NEVER contact you for private information. — James Rule XRP 👊😎 (@RuleXRP) January 3, 2025 Because I had accessed my law firm network, working from home, my business network had been compromised as well. A couple months later my cell phone SIM card and Twitter accounts were hacked. Btw, the fraud unit at Uphold was awesome to deal with. Be careful. Raising awareness and adopting strict security habits can help prevent financial losses and protect crypto assets. XRP (Ripple) Price Analysis [mcrypto id=”12299″] As of today, XRP is trading at $2.46355, reflecting a 2.63% increase over the last 24 hours. The token has gained 2.66% in the past day and 14.44% over the past week. However, it has seen a 1.97% decline over the past month. Source: Tradingview Despite this short-term volatility, XRP has experienced a remarkable 448.76% increase over the last six months, and a 323.09% gain over the past year. This strong performance has positioned XRP as one of the top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Market Capitalization and Trading Volume XRP currently holds a market capitalization of $141.48 billion, with a fully diluted market cap of $246.43 billion. The 24-hour trading volume is approximately $5.74 billion, indicating strong liquidity and continued investor interest. Source: Tradingview XRP has a circulating supply of 57.41 billion tokens, with a maximum supply of 100 billion, ensuring it remains one of the most widely available crypto assets. Technical Outlook and Market Sentiment XRP’s all-time high (ATH) was $3.31700, meaning it is currently trading 25.7% below its peak. The technical indicators present a neutral to slightly bullish sentiment, with some ETHNews analysts forecasting a potential breakout above $2.50. Source: Tradingview If XRP sustains momentum above this resistance level, it could see further gains toward $3.00 and beyond. Market analysts suggest that a potential ETF approval for XRP by 2025 could act as a major catalyst for price appreciation. Additionally, legal clarity regarding Ripple’s case with the SEC has removed significant uncertainty, paving the way for further institutional adoption. Future Predictions and Key Levels to Watch Support Levels: $2.15 (critical short-term support) Resistance Levels: $2.70 (key psychological level), followed by $3.00 If XRP maintains momentum above $2.50, it could rally toward $3.50 in the coming months. Some traders anticipate a short-term pullback toward $2.00–$2.10 before the next major move.
Terraform Labs Co-Founder Pleads Not Guilty to Fraud Charges in US Court
Terraform Labs co-founder faces fraud charges in the US over the $40 billion TerraUSD collapse in 2022. Prosecutors allege investors were misled about TerraUSD’s stability leading to massive cryptocurrency losses. The TerraUSD collapse triggered widespread market turmoil affecting Bitcoin and other major digital assets. The co-founder of Terraform Labs has pleaded not guilty to fraud charges in the United States. The charges originate from the $40 billion collapse of TerraUSD. The Manhattan US Attorney’s Office is prosecuting the case. 🚨 Breaking: Do Kwon pleads NOT GUILTY in US court! 🇺🇸⚖️ Former Terraform Labs CEO faces 9 charges in $40B crypto collapse 💥 Key points: – Appeared in Manhattan federal court on Jan 2, 2025 – Charges include wire, securities commodities fraud – Agreed to remain in custody… — PS (@PSemenog) January 3, 2025 Kwon was extradited to the United States after his arrest in Montenegro for using a fake passport. He attempted to board a private plane to Dubai in March 2023. However, he was arrested by authorities at Podgorica Airport. Although Montenegro first approved South Korea’s extradition request , the United States eventually obtained his transfer. This was due to its security partnership with Montenegro. He appeared in Manhattan court and agreed to be held in jail without bail. The next hearing is scheduled on January 8, 2025. Fraud Allegations Linked to TerraUSD Collapse The charges include wire fraud, securities fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy. Prosecutors argue that the co-founder deceived investors about TerraUSD’s ability to maintain its $1 value. Investigators believe he conspired with a trading firm to artificially stabilize TerraUSD when its value dropped in 2021. This action apparently prompted investors to buy additional products, increasing Luna’s worth. Luna is a cryptocurrency that is connected to TerraUSD. TerraUSD and Luna had a combined market value of $50 billion by early 2022. Both collapsed in May 2022, resulting in severe losses for the cryptocurrency market. The collapse affected other major digital assets like Bitcoin, worsening the financial impact. Legal Challenges Beyond Criminal Charges The SEC filed a civil fraud lawsuit in 2022. A federal jury found the company liable in April 2024. This resulted in a $4.47 billion judgment. In June 2024, the business settled with the SEC for $80 million. It filed for bankruptcy in January 2025. The fall of TerraUSD and Luna shook the cryptocurrency industry. It contributed to the downfall of big companies such as FTX. disclaimer read more Crypto News Land, also abbreviated as "CNL", is an independent media entity - we are not affiliated with any company in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.

Syria Proposes Bitcoin Legislation to Stabilize Syria’s Economy Amid Challenges
The Syrian Center for Economic Research (SCER) has unveiled a bold proposal to incorporate Bitcoin into the nation’s financial system. On December 31, Bam, the founder of the Arabic crypto channel Bitcoin 21, shared the SCER’s proposal on the social media platform X, stating: “The Syrian Center for Economic Research publishes a proposal for the transitional government to legislate Bitcoin in Syria and digitize the Lira.” The Syrian Center for Economic Research publishes a proposal for the transitional government to legislate #Bitcoin in Syria and digitize the Lira 👏 pic.twitter.com/dEm8gwfzdP — Bam ⚡️باسم (@bamskki) December 31, 2024 The proposal outlines plans to legalize Bitcoin for activities such as trading and mining, while also introducing a digital version of the Syrian pound backed by assets like gold, US dollars, and Bitcoin. By utilizing blockchain technology, the SCER aims to stabilize the national currency and provide citizens with protection against ongoing economic difficulties. The initiative also explores the potential of using untapped energy resources to enable environmentally sustainable Bitcoin mining, striving to modernize the economy while ensuring fairness. Challenges and Sanction Evasion Concerns The SCER acknowledged that significant obstacles stand in the way of implementing this ambitious plan. Syria’s recovery from years of conflict, combined with international sanctions and limited technological infrastructure, poses major challenges to adopting this emerging industry. Furthermore, crypto adoption in Syria remains low. Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis observed that while Syrians have accessed foreign crypto platforms, there is no evidence of widespread local use. Concerns also linger about potential misuse, with reports indicating that extremist groups have used cryptocurrencies for fundraising. The proposal has sparked skepticism among critics who suggest it could be a strategy to circumvent international sanctions on Syria, a tactic previously associated with countries like Iran and North Korea. The SCER emphasized that the initiative is focused on economic recovery and innovation rather than evading international laws. Bam commented: “We also emphasize that [the Bitcoin proposal] is NOT meant to circumvent international sanctions. We believe that sanctions should be lifted URGENTLY through legal and political processes in accordance with international law.” According to Bam, the SCER is an independent organization relying on volunteers in Syria, including Syrian engineers, academics, and entrepreneurs, to promote knowledge and dialogue on economics, technology, and monetary policy.
Syrian research explores Bitcoin legislation to stabilize currency amid challenges
The Syrian Center for Economic Research (SCER) has outlined an ambitious proposal to integrate Bitcoin into the Middle Eastern country’s financial system. On Dec. 31, Bam, the founder of the Arabic crypto channel Bitcoin 21, shared the SCER’s proposal on social media platform X while stating : “The Syrian Center for Economic Research publishes a proposal for the transitional government to legislate Bitcoin in Syria and digitize the Lira.” The proposal seeks to legitimize Bitcoin for various purposes, including trading and mining. It suggests a digital version of the Syrian pound backed by assets like gold, US dollars, and Bitcoin. By leveraging blockchain, the SCER envisions greater stability for the national currency and protection for citizens against ongoing economic challenges. The plan also highlights the potential of harnessing untapped energy resources for environmentally sustainable Bitcoin mining, aiming to modernize the economy while maintaining fairness. Challenges ahead SCER noted that this ambitious initiative faces substantial hurdles. According to the group, Syria’s recovery from prolonged conflict, coupled with international sanctions and limited technological infrastructure, presents significant challenges that could impede the adoption of the emerging industry. Moreover, crypto adoption in Syria remains minimal. Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis noted that while Syrians have managed to access foreign crypto platforms, there is no evidence of widespread use within the country. Additionally, concerns about misuse by extremist groups persist, as some factions have reportedly leveraged cryptocurrencies for fundraising. Sanction evasion? The proposal also sparked concerns among skeptics who suggest it might be a tactic to bypass sanctions, a strategy associated with countries like Iran and North Korea . The SCER stressed that its intentions are focused on economic recovery and innovation, not circumvention of international laws. Bam wrote : “We also emphasize that [the Bitcoin proposal] is NOT meant to circumvent international sanctions. We believe that sanctions should be lifted URGENTLY through legal and political processes in accordance with international law.” According to Bam, the SCER operates independently of the government and relies on volunteers, including Syrian engineers, academics, and entrepreneurs, to foster knowledge and dialogue on economics, technology, and monetary policy.

These Crypto Industry Stars Shone Brightest in 2024
The digital assets industry smashed records and blew past major milestones in 2024, catapulting Bitcoin past $100,000 to a new all-time high. But the world’s oldest cryptocurrency isn’t the only thing that was on the up-and-up this year. Several industry newcomers also saw their stars rise. From rolling out beloved meme coin launchpads to unveiling new trading platforms and stirring up drama on Crypto Twitter, here are our picks for 2024’s rising stars in crypto and Web3: Sasha Plotvinov: NOTCOIN founder Sasha Plotvinov's Notcoin, a play-to-earn (P2E) game on Telegram, helped drive the stunning resurgence of crypto-based gaming this year. Notcoin racked up roughly 35 million users at its peak, onboarding large swathes of new people to the world of Web3. It also had one of the biggest crypto gaming token launches of 2024, with its digital asset's market cap hitting $1.5 billion on launch day, or nearly twice that of Pixel's token.

The early success of Notcoin set the stage for the success of later, more popular Telegram tap-to-earn crypto games. One Notcoin successor, Hamster Combat, has amassed over 300 million players. Dylan Abruscato: Crypto the Game founder Dylan Abruscato has breathed new life into crypto-based gaming. In February 2024, the founder released Crypto: The Game, a winner-take-all digital assets survival game where players vote each other out of gameplay during a series of challenges. The project attracted roughly 350 players in its first “season” and generated significant buzz on social media. That early success allowed the project to return with a second season, Crypto: The Game (Anon Island), just a few months later—this time with more players. In June, DeFi protocol Uniswap acquired Crypto: The Game for an undisclosed price — a testament to its fast-growing popularity. Ansem: Trader and influencer Crypto Twitter celebrity Ansem's star skyrocketed this year, with the influencer amassing roughly 600,000 followers on X. The twenty-something-year-old trader has seen his following grow partially due to his knack for spotting altcoin trends and delivering key crypto market insights. However, his willingness to serve up controversial commentary on crypto industry happenings, as well as his tongue-in-cheek interactions with other crypto influencers, have also won him many fans (and his fair share of haters). Alon: Pump.fun co-founder Alon skyrocketed to fame earlier this year as his Solana-based meme coin launchpad platform Pump.fun reignited an altcoin-trading craze. The market cap of meme coins is worth more than $150 million as of publication time, with much of that market driven by Pump.fun token launches, CoinGecko data shows. From last August to November, Pump.fun meme coins comprised more than 50% of all monthly transactions on Solana, the most-used network for altcoin trading. The meme coin madness has been fueled by Pump.fun's unique livestream platform, where staged kidnapping and explicit content have been commonplace. The platform's bizarre content has become a favorite topic of the crypto community, with heavyweights in the digital asset industry, such as Binance’s founder, weighing in on its kooky culture. Jack Booth: Ton Society co-founder Jack Booth is another figure who contributed to the Telegram crypto game trend in 2024. The founder's Telegram Open Network (TON) Society has led efforts to build communities in the TON ecosystem, spearheading hackathons and other programs that offer mentorship opportunities and incentives to early builders. Those efforts, in turn, have fueled the explosive growth of Telegram's decentralized network. Jack Lu: Magic Eden CEO Jack Lu is stirring up a potential NFT revival at Magic Eden, a Solana-based platform where users can maintain a cross-chain wallet for their NFTs. The multi-chain platform accounts for 80% of trading volume for Bitcoin Runes and Ordinals, two types of tokens that sizzled earlier this year. Meanwhile, Magic Eden this summer logged $60 million in daily volume, according to on-chain data, making the project a leader in the revival of NFT trading. The platform's airdrop has also generated buzz among traders, with more than $300 million in Magic Eden’s native token to go to its loyalists. Iggy Azalea: $MOTHER founder Iggy Azalea has ridden her 15 minutes of fame to the final frontier of internet infamy: making a meme coin. But unlike many of her celebrity companions—and even some long-time Web3 developers—the unlikely shitcoin queen has seen some success. Iggy Azalea launched her Mother Iggy ($MOTHER) meme coin in June, with the token's value tripling to nearly $0.15 at its peak, CoinGecko data shows. The songstress’ token has a market cap of nearly $74 million, making it more widely traded than Rekt (REKT) and Own the Doge (DOG). The token's relative success is supposedly a product of Azalea’s dedication to building a Web3 community. At Singapore's Token 2049 in September, Azalea promoted her meme coin at what was arguably the most-talked-about side event of the conference—a gaudy wild-west-themed party complete with strippers and loads of cringe-inducing antics. Although the event was heavily criticized on crypto Twitter, it certainly accomplished its task of putting the songstress and her token on the meme coin map. Edited by Sebastian Sinclair
Tangem wallet accidentally collected users' mnemonics due to email-related glitch
According to a report from The Block on December 31, the growth of games on Telegram has had a positive impact on the TON blockchain. According to TonStat data, the number of accounts on the TON network has increased from approximately 4 million to 128 million in about a year. In addition, the price of the blockchain's native token, toncoin, has risen by over 100%, reaching a market value of $14 billion as of December 18. The report states that user acquisition has always been the biggest challenge in the Web3 gaming space. However, by 2024, with the launch of mini-games on the Telegram messaging platform, Web3 gaming seems to have turned a corner. Many believe that the success of the mini-game "Notcoin" has opened the floodgates for game development in the TON ecosystem, largely due to the success of its airdrop campaign. Other popular games have also been launched following the lead of "Notcoin". The challenge now is to maintain user engagement in Telegram games and encourage them to try other blockchain-based applications on the messaging platform. However, the success of user acquisition is undeniable, as Robby Yung, CEO of Animoca Brands, has stated that Telegram games have proven to be another way to release encrypted games.
