What’s Next for DRIFT After 500% Volume Surge on Upbit?From Airdrop to Airborne | DRIFT Token Soars Like a Rocket !
The governance token DRIFT from Solana based decentralized exchange Drift Protocol is currently gaining attention after being listed on an exchange. On November 8, the South Korean exchange Upbit announced that DRIFT would be listed at 18:00 KST, with trading pairs in Bitcoin , USDT, and the Korean Won also Bianance will add DRIFTUSDT Perpetual Contract as well
This development triggered a 500% increase in trading volume for DRIFT which is insane, accompanied by an 90% price rise. Now trading at $0.91, this strong surge mirrors past trends observed with other tokens listed on Upbit.
In May 2024, the Drift Foundation launched DRIFT, its new governance token, through an airdrop of 120 million tokens 12% of the initial 1 billion DRIFT supply plus a bonus of 20 million tokens was included in the distribution, exceeding the original planned supply.
Drift Protocol’s co founder, Cindy Leow, explained that the bonus aimed to prevent network congestion and premature sales, enhancing the user experience and rewarding loyal traders.
Drift Protocol supports perpetual futures trading on the Solana Network, and DRIFT allows holders to propose and vote on governance improvements by staking.
The daily chart shows the Bollinger Bands widening, indicating increased volatility around DRIFT. However, the token’s price has reached the upper BB band, signaling potential overbought conditions, as reflected in the Relative Strength Index
The RSI currently stands at 78, which, being above 70, suggests an overbought asset. This indicates that DRIFT's price could undergo a short term correction, potentially dropping to $0.70. However, if buying pressure persists and profit-taking remains low, the altcoin may continue climbing, possibly surpassing $1
Alt szn just started and now is the best time for gem hunting

UNI | UNISWAP Are we in DeFi Summer?
The price of Uniswap is $6.4 today with a 24hour trading volume of 158 million dollar. This represents a 5% price increase in the last 24 hours and a 28% price increase in the past 30 days
but what is UNI and what is UNI SWAP?
UNI is the governance token for Uniswap. UNI was introduced on 16th September 2020 through a retrospective airdrop to users who have interacted with the protocol either by swapping tokens or by providing liquidity.the UNI token allows token holders to participate in the governance of the protocol. Key decisions such as usage of the treasury or future upgrades can be decided through a governance vote.
Uniswap is a decentralized exchange that makes it easy for users to swap an ERC20 token for another ERC20 token without the need of a centralized intermediary. With a DEX, traders do not have to deposit their tokens on an exchange and be exposed to the security risks of a centralized exchange.
UNI's relative strength index of 63 shows bullish momentum is gathering steam but not yet overheated. The moving averages are aligned for more gains as well, with UNI trading above its 10day, 50day and 200day simple moving averages. Overall, the technical posture looks strong
next targets are 6.5, 6.7 and "6.9" $

Aptos | APT vs SUIThe price of Aptos is $10.7 today with a 24hour trading volume of 128 million dollar. This represents a 7% price increase in the last 24 hours and a 6% price increase in the past 7 days
With a circulating supply of 190 Million APT, and YES we back to 2 billion dollar Marketcap. now lets compare SUI and APTOS
Both Aptos and Sui blockchains are designed to address the scalability and efficiency issues faced by the current generation of blockchain networks. They both implement one of the most advanced programming languages – Move, utilize parallel execution for high throughput, and offer low latency. These similarities make them attractive options for businesses looking to build blockchain-based applications. The language used for parallel execution in both Aptos and Sui is Move, which is based on Rust and was initially designed at Meta. The language offers powerful tools and features to build smart contracts and decentralized applications. However, Sui has its own version of the language.
Aptos follows the standard design outlined in Diem’s whitepaper, while Sui has a slightly different object model. Sui’s storage system is object-centric, which means that most things on the blockchain, including addresses and transactions, are represented as objects.Sui’s version of Move clearly indicates when an object is owned, shared, mutable, or immutable, whereas Aptos does not. Additionally, Sui’s ownership API is cleaner than Aptos’s, as it provides a clearer representation of the blockchain design
Sui and Aptos differ significantly in their architecture, particularly in how they utilize distributed ledger technology. Sui’s ledger is stored as a directed a cyclic graph rather than a blockchain like Aptos. While both designs are efficient and share similarities with traditional blockchains, their differences are essential to their consensus mechanism and scalability.aptos has a modular architecture that enables easy upgrades and customizations, while Sui focuses on a multi-layered architecture to separate the consensus, storage, and computation layers. This allows for improved scalability and flexibility in the network.The ecosystems are very different and extensive in both projects. Every day there is something new to discover at both chains. It’s hard to pick out an outsider and a favorite. Aptos blockchain got its popularity before Sui, but at the moment, judging by the number of followers on Discord, Sui is overtaking Aptos.
After a surge in the popularity of Aptos several months ago, many various projects were created and launched exactly using that blockchain. During the year 2022, over 100 projects were developed using Aptos network.the most popular projects built over Aptos include Pontem (a universal wallet) and Pyth (a modern oracle). Aptos boasts a growing ecosystem of tools, libraries, and developer resources, while Sui’s ecosystem is relatively nascent but has the potential to grow rapidly as more developers join the network.as for Sui, the mainnet of the network will only be launched in Q2 2023 and the testnet was launched in the last days of March 2023. Thus, the majority of the project is now TBA. One of the most remarkable Sui projects so far is Sui wallet. Still, the Sui blockchain has great potential to overtake Aptos due to its scalability level.
Aptos and Sui are two blockchain ecosystems with different approaches to their tokenomics. Aptos has released an overview of their tokenomics for their native token APT, but additional information is expected to be published soon. APT is currently used for PoS participation and liquidity incentives, with an initial supply of 1 billion tokens. The majority of the initial supply is currently staked for PoS participation, with the remaining tokens allocated to different categories.
On the other hand, Mysten Labs has published an in-depth whitepaper on the native token of Sui, SUI. SUI will be staked within an epoch to participate in the proof-of-stake mechanism and on-chain voting. Additionally, SUI will be used as the asset denomination to pay for gas fees and other operations on the Sui platform, with a total supply of 10 billion tokens. The exact allocation percentages for the distribution of tokens have not been released, but the presence of the storage fund can create monetary dynamics and reduce the amount of SUI in circulation.
In conclusion, both Aptos and Sui have their unique selling points and hold great potential for businesses looking to adopt blockchain technology. However, Sui and Aptos are rapidly developing ecosystems, they’re still pretty ‘young’ compared to other big players in the industry. Thus, they are definitely expected to settle all security audit issues soon.
Radix | XRDRadix has kicked off 2023 with an impressive performance, as evidenced by XRD’s recent surge that conspicuously stood out atop the cryptocurrency charts.
This surge can be attributed to the rollout of Babylon RCnet, which is Radix’s latest milestone release, incorporating novel features and capabilities for both developers and users.
The price of Radix is $0.059 today with a 24hour trading volume of 10 million dollar. This represents a 15% price increase in the last 24 hours and a 35% price increase in the past 7 days
Radix is a layer 1 smart contract platform that started from the problem of how to decentralize the HKEX:400 trillion global financial system and worked backwards from that objective.
December was a momentous month for Radix, as it marked the launch of the highly-anticipated Babylon Betanet. This development served as an ideal launchpad, paving the way for an exciting start to 2023. with six promising projects accepted onto the 12-week program, the Radix ecosystem is poised to receive a significant boost that could prove to be immensely valuable in the long run.as the calendar flipped to February, the Radix team hit the ground running, not only to get the grant program projects up and running but also to participate in the Scrypto DeFi Challenge. With Scrypto as the native language for Radix developers, they had the opportunity to compete for a slice of the 50,000 $ prize pool.
Bitget Token | BGB ( the next BNB ? )The price of Bitget Token (BGB) is $0.40 today with a 24hour trading volume of 13 million dollar. This represents a 7.7% price increase in the last 24 hours
Bitget is a cryptocurrency exchange and copy trading platform founded in 2018. Bitget’s BGB token is a utility token crucial to the functioning of the Bitget ecosystem. It grants users the ability to vote on project listings, join Launchpad and Launchpool to gain access to high-quality tokens, receive fee discounts, and more on the Bitget exchange. Also, staking NYSE:BGB tokens grants holders access to a wide variety of premium benefits and savings. There are currently 1,400,000,000 BGB in circulation and a maximum of 2,000,000,000 BGB in existence.
BGB will be listed on the bitfinex spot market, tradeable against usdt & usd on 25th April. The decision to list BGB on Bitfinex comes in response to the increasing demand for the token in the market. Entering 2023, BGB has experienced significant price growth over the last few months and reached an all-time high of 0.51 USDT in February. The surge in price can be attributed to several factors, including the increased adoption of the Bitget exchange and its recent efforts in building the spot trading market
next targets are 0.43, 0.45 and 0.47$
Zilliqa | ZIL The price of Zilliqa is $0.034 today with a 24hour trading volume of 260 million dollars . This represents a 6.6% price increase in the last 24 hours and a 12.6% price increase in the past 7 days
Zilliqa is a token developed in the year 2017 Its is mainly based on the concept of Sharding and primarily aims at improving the scalability of the cryptocurrency networks as in case of Bitcoin or Ethereum. The white paper mentions that the transactions speed would be approximately a thousand times more than that of Ethereum network. Ziliqa is fast, secured and decentralized. Zilliqa’s high throughput means that you can focus on developing your ideas without worrying about network congestion, high transaction fees or security which are the key issues with legacy blockchain platforms.
On 25 April, the Zilliqa mainnet would activate the Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility. This would enable the native transfer of tokens, thus eliminating the conversion process. the EVM compatibility will make the transfer of NFTs and fungible tokens between EVM and Scilla interfaces easier. Additionally, the upgrade also aims to improve the overall speed and scalability of the network
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator showed that the MACD line was still above the signal line. However, a drop in the buying pressure would lead to the MACD crossing the signal line to drop further. Bulls managed to win 0.27 $ warzone and now they head to 0.36$. RSI and Vol are positive and 50 and 200 EMA going to cross each other which is another bullish signal
next targets 0.35, 0.37 and 0.39$
Is your ETH and SOL working for you !?The crypto market never sleeps which means leaving your holdings stagnant could mean missing out on significant opportunities.
So it’s time to ask yourself:
Are your assets maximizing their potential, or are they just gathering virtual dust?
You wouldn’t leave all your money in a low interest savings account, so why do it with your crypto?
The idea is to put your investments to work, so they keep earning returns without you lifting a finger. I’ll walk you through exactly how to read it and use it to your advantage.
But that’s just the beginning, we’ll also be covering:
-Yield strategies: A breakdown of the strategies we use to generate yield.
-Pros and cons: The advantages and drawbacks of each strategy.
Not sure what options are best for you?
Are you letting your capital sit idle?
Worried about security risks?
This analysis is about to change that .I’ll show you how to maximize your returns and crush those security fears, so you can confidently put your assets to work
Let's dive right in and kick things off with the ‘crowd favorite’ of yield strategies: staking
Staking is exclusive to Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains and their associated tokens.
Meaning you cannot gain staking yield from Bitcoin, for example, because it is a Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain. by staking your tokens like CRYPTOCAP:ETH or CRYPTOCAP:SOL , you receive a portion of newly minted tokens, effectively earning yield while playing a vital role in securing the network.
If you’re not staking, you could be missing out on significant gains, with potential returns ranging from 3% to 18% APY. that’s why many investors choose to stake their assets rather than let them sit idle
Staking has become a widely adopted strategy, with staking ratios (amount staked vs. unstaked) sitting between 20% and 80% on most POS blockchains In fact, a staggering $520 billion is currently staked across the top PoS blockchains, underscoring its popularity as a method for generating additional income.
Assuming an average 5% reward rate, that equates to $25 billion in staking rewards. That’s massive.
Despite the appeal of earning extra income through staking, becoming a solo staker can be technically challenging which is why staking providers like Lido, Rocket Pool, and Jito have emerged.
They handle network validation for the rest of us, while maximizing our staking yield.
Let’s break down the pros and cons of using a staking provider:
Pros:
✅ Security and efficiency: Our tokens are put to work securely and efficiently, contributing to the network’s security without us having to manage it all ourselves.
✅ Maximized rewards: We earn the majority of staking rewards without needing to handle the technical complexities, making it a hassle-free way to generate income.
✅ Liquidity retention: We receive liquid tokens as proof of our staked assets, allowing us to stay flexible and use them in other DeFi opportunities.
Cons:
❌ Fees: These providers typically charge a fee ranging from 8% to 25% for their validation services, which can slightly reduce your overall yield.
❌ Smart contract risks: There are inherent risks associated with smart contracts, such as bugs and/or vulnerabilities, that could potentially impact your staked assets.
By weighing these pros and cons, you can decide whether outsourcing your staking through liquid staking providers is the right strategy for you.
Ok, so if that’s the case how do we go about choosing the right liquid staking provider?
Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a provider:
1/ Reputation and security
Track record: Look for providers with a solid track record and a strong reputation in the DeFi space.
Security measures: Ensure the provider employs robust security measures, such as smart contract audits.
2/ Total volume locked
TVL: Check how much liquidity your chosen provider has attracted.
TVL is a quick and effective measure of the broader market's trust in a provider, as it reflects the total amount of assets currently staked or locked in their protocol, valued in dollars.
Feel free to use DefiLlama, which ranks all liquid staking providers by TVL.
Simply select the blockchain you’re interested in, and you’ll see the top players in the space, giving you a clear view of where the most assets are being staked and which providers are leading the market.
3/ Yield rates
Competitive yields: Compare the staking yields offered by different providers. While higher yields are attractive, they should not come at the expense of security or reliability.
Fee structure: Be aware of the fee structure. Liquid staking providers typically charge a small fee for their services, which can impact your overall returns.
4/ Liquidity and flexibility
Liquid staking tokens (LSTs): Check if the liquid tokens issued by the provider are widely accepted across DeFi platforms and have enough liquidity. The more integration and liquidity these tokens have, the better.
Redemption options: Some providers offer instant or flexible redemption options for your staked tokens, which can be crucial if you need quick access to your assets.
5/ Decentralization and governance
Decentralization: Providers that are more decentralized tend to be more resilient to risks such as regulatory actions or central points of failure.
Governance participation: Some providers offer governance rights with their tokens, allowing you to have a say in the protocol’s future direction. This can be an added benefit for those interested in being more involved in the ecosystem.
6/ Community and support
Active Community: A strong, active community can be a good indicator of a provider’s health and future prospects. Engage with the community to gauge the level of transparency and support.
so while you trading and trying to maximize your gains Its good to stake some of your HODL bag as well

Cosmos | ATOMAfter taking profit at 15$ its correction time and here we are, but whats next?
The price of ATOM is $11 today with a 24hour trading volume of 120 million dollar. This represents a -1% price decline in the last 24 hours and a -15% price decline in the past 7 days
Cosmos bills itself as a project that solves some of the “hardest problems” facing the blockchain industry. It aims to offer an antidote to “slow, expensive, unscalable and environmentally harmful” proof-of-work protocols, like those used by Bitcoin, by offering an ecosystem of connected blockchains.
The project’s other goals include making blockchain technology less complex and difficult for developers thanks to a modular framework that demystifies decentralized apps. Last but not least, an Interblockchain Communication protocol makes it easier for blockchain networks to communicate with each other — preventing fragmentation in the industry.
Cosmos’ origins can be dated back to 2014, when Tendermint, a core contributor to the network, was founded. In 2016, a white paper for Cosmos was published — and a token sale was held the following year. ATOM tokens are earned through a hybrid proof-of-stake algorithm, and they help to keep the Cosmos Hub, the project’s flagship blockchain, secure. This cryptocurrency also has a role in the network’s governance.
I will start average buying at 9$ and I will close my shorts at 9.3$
Compound | COMPCOMP Rallies Over 100% After CEO Quits !
Robert Leshner, the well-known creator of the DeFi lending platform Compound Finance, has resigned from his position as the CEO of the DeFi lending protocol.
Leshner recently announced his plan to launch Superstate Trust, a new business venture. The creation of a short-term government bond fund is the goal of this endeavor. Notably, Superstate Trust has already raised $4 million in startup money from a variety of DeFi investors.
Compound (COMP), the native token of Compound Finance, is still on the rise despite Leshner’s resignation. COMP, which is currently trading at $55.87, has experienced a spectacular rise in value of 22.47% over the last two days.
Compound Finance has $2 billion in assets and that its governance token COMP has increased by over 100% in the last week.
Significant digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the S&P 500 have all increased by less than 3% during that time period.
This outstanding performance demonstrates Compound’s robustness and adaptability in the face of organizational changes and reflects increased investor trust in the token’s potential.
Compound supporters believe that recent significant cryptocurrency ownership outflows by important market participants are clear signs that the price of Compound (COMP) will continue to rise.
These backers are optimistic that Compound and its chances for future growth are looking good thanks to the withdrawals made by crypto whales, who own substantial sums of digital assets.
Bullish investors predict Compound may even surpass the remarkable valuation of about $80 in the upcoming weeks as a result. This upbeat attitude is based on the idea that these powerful players’ withdrawal activities reveal their trust and confidence in Compound’s long-term potential, acting as a catalyst for the stock’s upward trend.
The Superstate assets will have the chance to be represented on the Ethereum blockchain, claims a prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The prospectus stressed the use of blockchain technology and the advantages of “operational efficiencies” that come with it.
On the Ethereum blockchain, Compound is a protocol for an algorithmic money market. In particular, the current DeFi craze is ascribed to this network for initiating it.
In the middle of the summer of 2020, Compound was the first platform to introduce yield farming to the market. In many ways, yield farming is comparable to staking cryptocurrency.
Leshner established one of DeFi’s earliest protocols to draw substantial asset contributions. Compound and a few other protocols, including MakerDAO, were among the first to demonstrate that blockchains might be used for purposes more than just transferring tokens.
The DeFi Summer liquidity mining boom began with COMP’s introduction in June 2020.
Meanwhile, rumors spreading across social media that COMP holders would get some form of airdrop from Superstate provide a potential reason for the price movement of COMP.
However, there has been no formal statement from Superstate stating that COMP will participate in the activities of the new company.
