⚡️ Perhaps by the end of this week , the first cryptocurrency will be trading above $50,000 - Matrixport

In their opinion, the drivers of growth will be:

1️⃣ Potential approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the USA;
2️⃣ demand from financial institutions;
3️⃣ Shortage of coin supply in the market.

📛 Matrixport now expects the SEC to deny ALL issuers the creation of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024.

- Everything is decided by 5 people, most of them are Democrats. This party is against the development of the crypto industry in the country.

- "We may see cascading liquidations if the SEC does not allow the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs. A range of $36,000-$38,000 per BTC is likely"

- Bitcoin will still be above $42,000 by the end of 2024 due to halving and as the "US election year". (source)

There is a very interesting and unusual SmartLayer project on the radar 🧨

This is an innovative project in the truest sense of the word, which has developed executable tokens for EVM networks, which can carry additional functionality and even small dApps.

The new ERC-5169 and TokenScript tokens reveal all the possibilities of the blockchain in a completely new way, especially in the web3 gaming sector. This was an example of their own game Smart Cats xNFT, which gained more than 185K users and 2.5M online interactions in just 45 days. This is a kind of tamagotchi, where each xNFT is your character with whom you interact directly using the token itself.

A lot of top professionals and good funds have subscribed to the project on Twitter. The account itself has been active since 2021 and has more than 385K subscribers, which is a very trust moment.

They recently announced the drop on the same Twitter account, but so far without any details. The only thing that was attached to this post was a link to their NFT collection of cats and a link to their quests.

We recommend that you do not skip but interact with their site as much as possible, complete all the quests and maybe even buy an NFT.
