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. Cutoshi (CUTO): Utility Meme Coin Set To Lead The 2025 Bull Market Cutoshi is a new hybrid project gaining popularity for its vision of transforming DeFi, using the power of memes and innovative platform features. It merges the fun of a meme community with the practicality of utility tokens to offer users a memeFi ecosystem that fulfills the requirements of all kinds of crypto investors.

Moreover, Cutoshi is also bringing a merch shop into the ecosystem to offer community members a range of items including T-shirts, Hoodies, Phone cases, Mugs, etc. Members can receive special discounts on these items by using the native token CUTO to make payments on the platform.

The price will soon surge as the presale progresses to the next round, and new investors have an excellent opportunity to make similar returns through the compounding effect in further stages.

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.

Is It Worth Buying Bonk Now? Or Could Cutoshi Give You Higher Returns

Cutoshi

There are two major camps in the meme coin space right now. On one side are the typical run-of-the-mill meme coins that are purely driven by hype and virality, such as the Pepes and WIFs of the world. On the other are projects like Bonk (BONK) and Cutoshi (CUTO) which adopt a meme aesthetic, but under the hood, they offer a vast ecosystem offering a wide range of features. Cutoshi in particular emerges as an intriguing investment opportunity when compared to other prominent memes, including Bonk, as its magnitudes smaller market cap grants it much greater room for growth. Bonk Rebounds As News Of A Possible ETF Starts Circulating Tuttle Capital Management has filed for several leveraged cryptocurrency ETFs, including a 2X long ETF for Bonk (BONK). This move puts Bonk on the radar of institutional investors, highlighting the growing appeal of meme coins beyond retail traders. While the SEC hasn’t approved the application yet, the crypto-friendly climate under Donald Trump’s presidency has reignited confidence in the sector. Assets that were previously deemed too volatile are now being considered by institutional entities as viable albeit unconventional investments. And it’s not just Bonk that could become a staple in the portfolio of fund managers, but Dogecoin and Shiba Inu as well. In terms of price action, Bonk has regained some ground after a red Monday. Bonk bounced back by 2% and is currently priced at $0.000025. Technical analysis shows that Bonk has been moving within the bounds of a triangle pattern, as highlighted by crypto expert Moon. As the descending trendline pushed the price downward, Bonk briefly broke through but ultimately failed the retest as it reentered the formation. Once a reversal is confirmed, the general consensus suggests that the first big target that Bonk needs to reclaim is the $0.000048 mark which represents a strong psychological resistance level. How Cutoshi Rewrites The Meme Coin Playbook Cutoshi sets itself apart from the competition by introducing an entire DeFi ecosystem that not only boasts innovative cross-chain functionalities but will also reward holders of the $CUTO token with a revolutionary farming initiative. At the heart of Cutoshi is CUTO DEX, a decentralized exchange that bridges the gap between isolated blockchains, allowing for lightning-fast swaps for just 0.25% fees. The $CUTO token is deflationary by design, meaning that regular burns will constantly reduce the circulating supply, promoting scarcity-driven growth and long-term price stability. Cutoshi is inspired by the Lucky Cat of Japanese folklore and by the teachings of Satoshi Nakamoto, prioritizing privacy and transparency above all while bringing good fortune to the rapidly growing community. Users will not be required to fill out any KYC form and compromise their personal data, while simultaneously they will retain complete control over their funds as CUTO DEX is completely non-custodial. During and after the presale, users will be able to complete various quests and tasks aimed at boosting Cutoshi’s presence on social media. For their efforts, they will receive Cuto points that can be later redeemed for more $CUTO tokens. Furthermore, post-launch, staking will also be available, allowing investors to put their tokens to work and earn recurring rewards with market-beating APYs. So far, more than $1,649,232.271 has been raised in funds; this number is expected to reach 8-figures as demand is growing exponentially. With Meme season 2.0 right around the corner, Cutoshi could become one of the biggest success stories of 2025.

Is Cutoshi (CUTO) a Better Choice For 100x Than Shiba Inu (SHIB)? Here’s What Traders Think

Cutoshi

Amid the market-wide turbulence, Cutoshi (CUTO) is showing surprising resilience, prompting veteran traders to rotate funds into the viral presale. With most meme coins range bound and struggling to sustain momentum, Cutoshi presents a compelling opportunity that could see it scale the crypto ranks and outpace other meme majors such as Shiba Inu (SHIB). Read on to discover what makes this newcomer stand out and why it could become this year’s most unexpected success story. Shiba Inu Consolidates Below Critical Support Shiba Inu faced significant disruption over the last week as the SHIB price breached below the $0.000020 mark after a barrage of sell-offs. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu trades for $0.0000188, following a 5% rebound from lower support levels. As Shiba Inu is stabilizing, market participants are taking a step back, adopting a more cautious stance toward meme coins which are notoriously susceptible to volatility. This is also reflected by the 36% drop in the Shiba Inu volume, with about $340 million worth of SHIB traded across exchanges in the last 24 hours. Despite the slump, large investors are still overwhelmingly bullish on SHIB’s long-term prospects. According to Lookonchain data, yesterday, a large whale accumulated over 257 billion SHIB tokens, worth approximately $4.6 million. While Shiba Inu might flip the trend in the coming months and potentially conquer new heights, it’s safe to say that the point of diminishing returns has been reached. With its $11 billion market cap, it’s simply unrealistic to expect a repeat of Shiba Inu’s legendary millionaire maker run of 2021. Cutoshi, on the other hand, bears all of the hallmarks of a gem in the making, as it boasts a magnitudes lower valuation, coupled with real-world utility to ensure unparalleled longevity in the hype-driven meme coin market. Cutoshi, The Luckiest Cat On The Blockchain Cutoshi brings a breath of fresh air with its unique approach that merges meme culture with a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem, bringing forward the first-ever MemeFi platform in the crypto space. The flagship feature is CUTO DEX. This is a decentralized exchange set to be released very soon and will allow for seamless cross-chain transactions across all major blockchains. Traders will enjoy near-instantaneous speeds and some of the lowest fees on the market as Cutoshi brings forward a true alternative to single-chain DEXs such as Uniswap and Raydium, which have been dominating the space so far. The project draws inspiration from the teachings of Satoshi Nakamoto, prioritizing privacy and decentralization above all. This means that users don’t have to compromise sensitive information when engaging with the ecosystem. As a non-custodial platform, Cutoshi ensures that intermediaries are removed from the equation, with users retaining complete sovereignty over their funds. Community members will have the opportunity to earn income from multiple avenues through the Cutoshi Farming initiative. During and after the presale, users can participate in fun events and complete various missions aimed at boosting Cutoshi’s online presence. For their efforts, they will receive Cuto points that can later be redeemed for tokens once the presale wraps up. To further gamify the experience, participants can track their performance on a leaderboard and win daily prizes at the Lucky Cat Shrine. In addition to this, post-launch, investors will be able to tap into a passive income stream by staking their $CUTO and helping support the platform. Stage 4 of the Cutoshi presale is selling out as demand is growing exponentially. Early buyers have the chance to load up on $CUTO at just $0.031 per token. This makes the ideal time to get involved before the next inevitable surge that could send the price into the stratosphere once the presale wraps up and listings on major exchanges are finalized.

Don’t Miss The Boat: Latest Memecoins Poised For Major Gains in 2025 Includes CUTO and TRUMP

Cutoshi

While the meme coin market has been cooling off over the past few weeks, several outliers have emerged recording explosive gains in record time. Early bidders have locked in over 50x gains with Trump Coin (TRUMP) and Fartcoin (FART), while Cutoshi (CUTO) seems to be next in line for a memorable double-digit rally. Cutoshi in particular has been gaining traction with its multifaceted DeFi platform, prompting thousands of investors to join the viral presale of the $CUTO token. Trump Seems To Have Bottomed Out As Chart Flatlines Official Trump (TRUMP) took the market by storm on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony, surging from a sub-$1 valuation all the way up to a $75 all-time high. In a single swing, Trump entered the crypto top 20, reaching a peak of $15 billion in market cap and outshining Pepe and Shiba Inu, briefly. Predictably, as investors started booking profits, Trump’s momentum was halted, sending the meme coin into a downward spiral that saw it lose over 65% in valuation in less than a week. At the time of writing, Trump trades for $28, following a steep 18.6% intraday decline, accompanied by a 30% decrease in trading volume with about $4.16 billion worth of TRUMP changing hands. Fartcoin Plunges After Insider Sell-Off Fartcoin (FART), a Solana-based meme coin, dropped 17% after Truth Terminal's creator, Andy Ayrey, facilitated the sale of 15 million Fartcoin tokens in an over-the-counter deal worth over $22 million. Truth Terminal, an AI bot that gained unexpected popularity, became a hub for memecoins such as Fartcoin and Goatseus Maximus when users began sending tokens to its wallet last year. Ayrey, approached by an anonymous buyer, agreed to sell under the condition that the Fartcoin tokens would be held responsible without triggering a market crash. However, market reactions still caused Fartcoin’s value to plummet from its $2.48 peak on January 19 to $1.24, recording over 30% in losses in the weekly timeframe. Join The Cutoshi Moon Mission Cutoshi sets itself apart from run-of-the-mill meme coins with its comprehensive DeFi ecosystem that bridges the gap between meme vibes and real-world utility. The team has announced that the CUTO DEX decentralized exchange is on its way to being released ahead of schedule, along with an exclusive DeFi Wallet for optimal asset management across various blockchains. On CUTO DEX, users will be able to perform lightning-fast transactions across all major blockchains with just 0.25% in fees. Additionally, Cutoshi is deflationary by design, meaning that the circulating supply will continuously be reduced, priming the $CUTO’s price for sustainable, long-term growth. Furthermore, investors can maximize their profits by participating in the Cutoshi Farming initiative. Users will have the opportunity to earn tokens and win big prizes by engaging with the platform and completing special quests and missions aimed at boosting Cutoshi’s presence on socials. For their efforts, they will receive points that can later be exchanged for $CUTO post-presale. Cutoshi is inspired by the Lucky Cats of Japanese folklore, which businesses and homes have adopted as tokens of good fortune. Cutoshi tokenizes good fortune and brings it to its rapidly growing community with its incredible growth potential. Right now, stage 4 of the presale is live with $CUTO priced at just $0.031. When taking into account all that Cutoshi has to offer, it’s not a stretch to expect it to soon dominate the meme coin landscape, and vastly outperform hype-driven plays like Trump and Fartcoin.

Shareholder Group, Detransitioner to Call Out Gender Ideology Harm at Visa, Inc. Annual Meeting on Tuesday

NLPC

National Legal and Policy Center, an investor in Visa, Inc., will present a shareholder proposal at the payment processor’s annual meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 28. The measure asks the company to investigate risks related to its discriminatory pay and benefits policies – specifically addressing where employees affected by gender-switching advocacy have been psychologically or medically harmed, without providing remedial care – and reporting to shareholders why such compensation gaps exist in the company’s policies. Speaking at Visa’s meeting in support of the proposal will be Claire Abernathy, a 20-year-old detransitioner whose therapy, medical and health insurance providers steered her into drastic body altering procedures when she questioned her gender starting at age 12. Ms. Abernathy will address the company’s board of directors and executive leadership, explaining her difficulties in finding medical care and insurance coverage to attempt to repair the damage done to her body. An excerpt from Abernathy’s planned remarks: By age 12 therapists affirmed my feelings about my body and false identity, and made my parents feel like abusive bigots for not immediately affirming me. The therapy was covered by my parents’ health insurance. Alleged medical professionals put me on a menstrual suppression drug, and at 14 I was put on testosterone and underwent a double mastectomy. It took only 8 months between getting referred for therapy and getting my breasts removed. That is an ideological agenda in search of victims, in the name of medicine, and it’s wrong. “By failing to include detransition care, companies like Visa perpetuate the neglect of a vulnerable population,” said Abernathy. “True equity in healthcare means acknowledging the full range of outcomes in gender transitioning treatments, and ensuring that all individuals have access to the care that they need.” In its shareholder proposal, NLPC itemizes numerous graphic, ghastly body-altering procedures that are drawn from Visa’s employee health insurance coverage through CIGNA, which also covers their minor dependents. Besides early-teen mastectomies like what Abernathy was pressured into, Visa also pays for procedures including penectomies, vaginectomies, orchiectomies, and salpingooophorectomies. “Rather than affirming and funding radical medical experiments on workers and their children – which sound more like something out of a horror movie than legitimate health care – Visa needs to just eliminate this coverage,” said Paul Chesser, director of the Corporate Integrity Project for NLPC. “With detransitioner lawsuits spreading across the country against medical providers and health facilities, corporations that sponsor this ‘care’ won’t be far behind in finding themselves in court.” As NLPC points out in its shareholder proposal, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission considers failure to provide equivalent pay and benefits based on categories including “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” as discriminatory. Even the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed with NLPC that de-transitioning individuals fit under such classifications when considering unfairness in corporate compensation practices, in a decision rendered last year regarding NLPC’s shareholder proposal at Disney. NLPC sponsored similar proposals last year at Johnson & Johnson and PepsiCo. You can read NLPC’s shareholder proposal for Visa at its website. Last year Chesser also composed commentaries for the New York Post and Real Clear Markets that further explained the proposals and their necessity. Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

Popular Meme-Fi Token Predicted To Explode in Q1 After Recent Announcement

Cutoshi

Dogecoin aside, there are but a handful of memes that have stood the test of time, like Shiba Inu, Bonk and Floki. The reason for this is very simple: they all merge meme energy with real utility, boasting complete ecosystems that offer different features, ranging from DeFi platforms to gaming hubs and NFT collections. Cutoshi (CUTO) is the newest entry in the utility-driven meme coin meta and is set to launch at the most perfect phase of the cycle: just before the euphoric phase. Over the last few weeks, Cutoshi has been often seen trending on X and thousands of early bidders have already claimed their allocation in the viral $CUTO presale. Read on to discover what makes this newcomer special. Discover The Cutoshi Ecosystem At the heart of the Cutoshi ecosystem is CUTO DEX, a revolutionary decentralized exchange that could soon make established protocols like Uniswap obsolete with its innovative cross-chain framework. CUTO DEX will allow investors to perform seamless transactions across all major blockchains, relieving them of the need to cycle between various single-chain protocols to find the best opportunities and allowing for a versatile 360-degree trading experience. To sustain the ecosystem, 80% of the revenue generated from fees will be redistributed to liquidity providers. The remaining 20% will be allocated for buybacks and burns of the $CUTO token, which in turn will apply constant deflationary pressure, promoting price stability and scarcity-driven growth. The launch of the DEX is drawing near as recently announced via the official X account and with it, Cutoshi will also release an exclusive, DeFi wallet, which will allow for effortless asset management across various blockchains. Cutoshi Farming And The Lucky Cat Shrine Cutoshi draws inspiration from the Lucky Cat of Japanese folklore, which are said to bring good fortune to businesses and households. Cutoshi adopts this energy and uses it to bring prosperity to the community via the Cutoshi Farming initiative. This is a win-win model allowing investors to earn income while engaging with the ecosystem and boosting Cutoshi’s online presence. They can participate in special contests or complete various missions in exchange for CUTO points. They can start earning these points immediately and once $CUTO hits the markets, they can redeem them for more tokens. To further gamify the experience, users will be able to track their performance on a scoreboard and win daily prizes at the Lucky Cat Shrine. Participants have already farmed over 2.1 million $CUTO, and those who want to take action can do so right away. Cutoshi often launches themed events, such as the Christmas meme contest. Missed it?
