Cardano (ADA) Bulls Target $5, But 4 New Tokens Could Outperform

Cardano (ADA) Bulls Target $5, But 4 New Tokens Could Outperform

The post Cardano (ADA) Bulls Target $5, But 4 New Tokens Could Outperform appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cardano (ADA) is showing strong hands right now, with bulls eyeing the $5 level. Momentum has returned, the charts look healthier, and confidence is creeping back into the market. But truth be told, while ADA has plenty of believers, there are four fresh tokens catching the eye: Polygon (POL), Ozak AI, Aave, and Pendle. This mix of old guard and new contenders creates a story worth watching. ADA may grab headlines, but when you look closely, the others might just run harder. Let’s break it down, one token at a time. Polygon POL Adoption is Accelerating Polygon’s upgrade machine hasn’t slowed down. Heimdall v2 and the Bhilai Hardfork cut transaction times to seconds, making the network more practical for large-scale use. On top of that, the shift from MATIC to POL adds new staking options and beefs up security, giving holders fresh reasons to stay involved. What makes this even more compelling is the real-world stamp of approval. Government-backed blockchain programs, plus that huge $100 million bond issuance, show why analysts keep placing Polygon among the top crypto bets for 2025. It’s not just hype. The fundamentals look rock solid, and adoption is spreading far beyond crypto-native circles. Ozak AI Taps into Two Booming Sectors AI and blockchain, put them together, and you get Ozak AI. The project sits right in the middle of these two fast-growing industries, and that positioning alone gives it serious weight. The $OZ token presale has already pulled in over $2.37 million, with 817 million tokens sold at $0.01 each. The listing target is $1, with long-term ambitions aimed much higher. But here’s where things get interesting. Ozak AI runs on a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), pairing blockchain with IPFS for scalable, secure, and fail-free data storage. That’s not just tech jargon, it’s a…

Why XRP cloud mining often looks like a Ponzi scheme

Why XRP cloud mining often looks like a Ponzi scheme

The post Why XRP cloud mining often looks like a Ponzi scheme appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Business > Why XRP cloud mining often looks like a Ponzi scheme Crypto’s appeal has drawn many to promises of fast money, and cloud mining platforms, especially those involving XRP, have jumped on this. Marketed as a simple way to get passive income, XRP cloud mining claims to give crazy returns—maybe 100% to 800% APR—without needing expensive gear or special skills. But hidden beneath the shiny claims are big risks, with many platforms looking a lot like Ponzi schemes. With BTC still making headlines and prices above $120,000 in August 2025, we must look closely at the shady world of XRP cloud mining because of its misleading practices and unsustainable setups. Unlike BTC, which uses energy for its proof-of-work mining to protect its blockchain, XRP runs on a pre-mined system where all 100 billion coins were made at the start. Because of this significant difference, XRP can’t be mined like BTC or Ethereum. Instead, XRP cloud mining platforms usually have users fund deals that supposedly mine other cryptos, like BTC or Ethereum, with payouts in XRP. Platforms such as Jope Miner or MiningToken say you can get daily returns by renting computer power from remote data centers. The idea sounds great: invest XRP, relax, and watch the money come in. But the truth is much darker. The main risk is that they aren’t open about what they do. Many XRP cloud mining platforms don’t share important details about their work, like where their mining sites are, what hardware they use, or how they make money. Unlike normal mining, where you can check hash rates and energy costs, cloud mining is a mystery. Users just have to believe their claims of “green data centers” or “AI hash power.” In July alone, platforms were caught promising up to…

Russian media claim Chinese, Korean phone makers have agreed to pre-install state-backed Max

Russian media claim Chinese, Korean phone makers have agreed to pre-install state-backed Max

The post Russian media claim Chinese, Korean phone makers have agreed to pre-install state-backed Max appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Manufacturers from China and South Korea are “making every effort” to install Russia’s “national messenger” Max on their smartphones ahead of a September deadline, sources told Russian media. The state-supported application, which Moscow wants to see on all mobile devices sold in the country, has caused concerns over possible surveillance by Russian authorities amid claims it’s collecting sensitive personal data. Samsung, Xiaomi reportedly ready to add Max to phones in Russia Some of the world’s leading brands in the electronics market are yet to officially confirm that Max will be present on their devices upon sale in Russia, but they have already agreed to that, the official Russian news agency TASS unveiled, citing representatives of the industry. South Korea’s Samsung is prepared to pre-install the Russian messenger on smartphones and tablets offered in the Russian Federation, the sources said. Major Chinese makers, including Xiaomi, Honor, Huawei, Tecno, and Infinix, have also “promised to make every effort to ensure this is done.” The report comes after the Russian government announced that Max will be pre-installed on all devices sold in the country. The app described by Russian officials as the “national messenger” will be added to Russia’s mandatory list of applications starting from September 1, 2025. Max is replacing the VK Messenger, which has been on the list since 2023. Max is also developed by the popular Russian social media network VK, formerly known as Vkontakte. One of the sources quoted by TASS elaborated on two possible options currently being considered by the manufacturers for its integration. This can be done either “through software updates” or by prompting users to install the messenger as soon as they insert a Russian SIM card into their device. Both the South Korean giant and the Chinese companies are yet to file official documentation confirming…

Aave Labs launches new platform Horizon, allowing institutions to borrow tokenized assets as stablecoins

Aave Labs launches new platform Horizon, allowing institutions to borrow tokenized assets as stablecoins

PANews reported on August 27 that Aave Labs has launched a new platform, Horizon, which aims to enable institutional borrowers to use tokenized versions of real-world assets (RWAs), such as U.S. Treasuries, as collateral to obtain stablecoins. At launch, institutions will be able to borrow Circle's USDC, Ripple's RLUSD, and Aave's GHO in exchange for a range of tokenized assets, including Superstate's short-term U.S. Treasury and cryptocurrency holding funds, Circle's income fund, and Centrifuge's tokenized Janus Henderson product. The platform aims to provide accredited investors with short-term financing for their RWA holdings and allow them to deploy income strategies. The platform's setup blends permissioned and permissionless functionality: collateralized tokens are embedded with issuer-level compliance checks, while lending pools remain open and composable. Chainlink's oracle services provide real-time pricing data, starting with NAVLink, which delivers the net asset value of tokenized funds directly on-chain to ensure that loans are properly collateralized. Launch partners include a range of asset issuers, including Ethena, OpenEden, Securitize, VanEck, Hamilton Lane, and WisdomTree, with plans to expand collateral options to more tokenized assets.

New Resale Platform Addresses Demand For Secondhand Wedding Gowns

New Resale Platform Addresses Demand For Secondhand Wedding Gowns

The post New Resale Platform Addresses Demand For Secondhand Wedding Gowns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bridal brands a&be’ bridal shop and anna be’ bridal boutique have partnered with resale tech company Archive to create an online marketplace for pre-owned wedding dressed. Courtesy of Archive A bridal retailer with 15 stores across the country – anna be’ bridal boutiques and a&be’ bridal shops – has partnered with resale tech company Archive to create an online option for brides shopping for a pre-owned wedding gown, or looking to sell their wedding dress after their big day. Demand for secondhand wedding dresses is being driven by several factors, including the desire for designer looks at pre-owned prices, at a time when tariff pressures are pushing up gown prices. Emily Gittins, CEO and Co-Founder of Archive, which powers resale platforms used by more than 50 global brands, said there has been a noticeable shift in acceptance of secondhand wedding gowns. Falling in Love With Secondhand “In general, the stigma around buying secondhand has diminished so much in the last five to 10 years, where it feels cooler and more interesting to wear secondhand than new clothing,” Gittin said in an interview. That trend now is accelerating in the bridal category, she said. “Of course, some people want a new dress, but the proportion of people who are open to secondhand feels like it is really growing, for a variety of reasons, “ Gittins said. ”Sustainability is one of them, but also price sensitivity and wanting to have access to premium designers that are maybe out of budget full-price, but in budget secondhand.” Secondhand dresses also let brides avoid what can be months-long waits for new dress orders. “You can get dresses faster on the secondhand market versus having to wait for something to be custom-made if you buy new,” Gittins said.

Analysts: Bitcoin faces the risk of further decline as leverage ratios soar and a large amount of funds turn to Ethereum

Analysts: Bitcoin faces the risk of further decline as leverage ratios soar and a large amount of funds turn to Ethereum

PANews reported on August 27th that, according to The Block, K33 analysis suggests that Bitcoin's recent price weakness is likely to continue. Surging leverage and a massive shift of funds toward Ethereum make the market vulnerable to further declines in the short term. Research Director Lunde stated that open interest in Bitcoin perpetual futures has surged to a two-year high (over 310,000 BTC), increasing by 41,000 BTC in just two months, with an accelerated increase of 13,000 BTC over the weekend, potentially marking a turning point for the market. Furthermore, the annualized funding rate has jumped from 3% to nearly 11%, suggesting overly aggressive long positions. The current market bears similarities to the leverage accumulation seen during the summer of 2023-2024, both of which culminated in a massive series of liquidations in August. However, the peak in open interest this time occurred in late this month, suggesting the market may be entering a more prolonged period of consolidation, which could catch bargain hunters off guard. Lunde warned of an increased risk of a short-term long squeeze and advised caution in holding positions. Furthermore, a long-term holder converted 22,400 BTC into Ethereum last week, pushing Ethereum to a new all-time high of $4,956 over the weekend, ending a 1,380-day correction. Despite Ethereum's sharp gains against the US dollar, its long-term returns against Bitcoin remain negative. Institutional investors saw CME traders reduce their Bitcoin positions, while the options market shifted to a defensive stance. Ethereum futures outperformed Bitcoin due to ETF inflows and increased corporate holdings.
