Bitcoin and Ethereum's Massive Growth Echoes; The Graph & Rebel Satoshi See Surge in Investor Interest

RoundHouse Media

The giants Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are once again creating ripples reminiscent of their historic growth patterns. Recent research reports by Coinbase Research and Glassnode reveal a staggering similarity between the current market conditions and the period from 2018 to 2022. During this timeframe, Bitcoin witnessed a remarkable surge of 500%, while Ethereum soared by an astonishing 1,000%. Parallel Patterns and Market Cycles Analysts are pointing to various cyclicality metrics, such as net unrealized profit/loss and supply in profit, to draw parallels between the ongoing crypto market cycle and the preceding ones. These metrics indicate that the current state of the crypto markets is not exhibiting the euphoria witnessed at the peak of 2023. Instead, it suggests that there might be further potential for significant market surges. Despite the optimism surrounding the forthcoming Bitcoin halving, Coinbase Research remains cautious. The paper notes a lack of robust supporting evidence and characterizes the relationship between the halving and market performance as somewhat speculative. This cautious stance reflects a commitment to thorough analysis and a recognition of the unpredictable nature of the crypto market. Ethereum's Triumph and Upcoming Upgrade In 2023, Ethereum experienced a surge of over 90%, attributed to factors such as the success of the Shapella upgrade and the increasing likelihood of approval for spot crypto ETFs. Market participants were quick to embrace these developments, contributing to the notable increase in Ethereum's value. Analysts are now setting their sights on the upcoming Ethereum upgrade named Cancun. Expected to enhance scalability and security, the upgrade aims to make layer-2 transactions as cost-effective as possible. The successful implementation of Cancun could potentially lead to a significant increase in the number of processed transactions on the Ethereum network. The Graph (GRT): A Rising Star Amidst the buzz surrounding the top crypto coins, The Graph (GRT) emerges as a rising star. With its focus on decentralized data indexing and query protocol for the Web3 ecosystem, The Graph has garnered increased attention from investors. As a decentralized oracle, The Graph provides a bridge between smart contracts and off-chain data, contributing to the efficiency and functionality of decentralized applications (DApps). Investors eyeing altcoins to watch have turned their attention to The Graph for its innovative approach to data organization and retrieval within the blockchain space. As the crypto market continues to evolve, The Graph stands as a notable player with the potential for significant growth. Rebel Satoshi Emerges in the Crypto Scene Amidst the buzz surrounding the top crypto coins, a new player has entered the scene—Rebel Satoshi ($RBLZ). Offering a unique proposition, Rebel Satoshi allows users to explore 9,999 unique NFTs, creating a vibrant marketplace for exclusive digital art and collectibles. Investors in Rebel Satoshi not only have the opportunity to explore unique assets representing Rebel Satoshi and other characters but also stand a chance to be featured in the Rebel Meme Hall of Fame. The Rebel Satoshi ecosystem provides exclusive benefits, including staking rewards and active participation in voting, reinforcing the sense of community among investors. Currently in Monarchs Round 4 of its presale, each $RBLZ token is available at $0.0224. Upon the official launch of Rebel Satoshi, the token is anticipated to trade at $0.024. Early investors stand to gain over 180% returns, while those from Monarchs Round 4 can expect at least a 50.8% return on investment. Rebel Satoshi Presale: A Crypto Milestone With over 105 million $RBLZ tokens already sold, Rebel Satoshi has achieved a significant milestone by raising over $1.5 million in token sales. As the project gears up for another presale stage, where tokens will be priced at $0.024 each, investors are presented with a prime opportunity to join the Rebel Satoshi community. Investing in Rebel Satoshi: A Secure Choice Built on the Ethereum network, recognized as one of the most secure blockchains in the crypto space, Rebel Satoshi presents itself as an attractive and secure investment option.

THAT Forges New Digital Direction with High Performance PLL ICs

THAT Corporation

THAT Corporation today announced its first foray into digital Integrated Circuits (ICs) with three state-of-the-art audio clocking ICs. The 7200, 7210, and 7220 are phase locked loop (PLL) ICs based on the acclaimed JetPLL TM technology invented by audio clocking guru Chris Travis. Licensed from Sonopsis Ltd., Travis’ technology has been deployed in hundreds of thousands of professional audio products offered by some of the industry’s most prestigious brands. JetPLL technology combines a highly programmable digital loop for precision control with an analog loop that suppresses the digital loop’s quantization noise. According to THAT’s President, Les Tyler, “These new ICs represent a significant evolution for our company. Until now, we’ve focused on analog and digitally controlled analog. But Chris Travis’ powerful JetPLL® technology enabled us to apply our audio expertise to clocking, which in its own way is just as tricky and ‘analog-y’ as microphone preamps and Analog Engines®.” Dennis Fink, THAT’s Applications and Engineering Manager explained the three new ICs: “The 7200 is a complete audio-focused clocking system, generating a low-jitter MCLK from a jittery WCLK or its own internal generator. The 7210 is a clock cleaner, generating a low-jitter MCLK from a jittery WCLK. The 7220 is a clock generator, supplying a low-jitter MCLK and WCLK without the need for an external reference.” All three parts feature 25 ps typical baseband jitter, a phase-aligned frame clock (conforming to AES11), and more than 60dB jitter attenuation as a clock cleaner. Each is pin- and code-compatible with one of Cirrus Logic’s CS2x00 series of Clock Multipliers/ Generators. Mr. Travis commented: “These ICs are ideal for networked audio systems, and contain integral features to improve the sound of any digital audio system. We at Sonopsis are proud and excited to have partnered with THAT for the first standalone implementations of JetPLL® ICs.” Mr. Fink noted that the parts include an SPI / I2C port that offers complete control over an extensive complement of useful features for audio clocks. Fink continued: “Each IC initially starts up in compatibility mode: the THAT 7200 matches the Cirrus CS2000, the 7210 the CS2100, and the 7220 the CS2200. Additional registers to control additional unique JetPLL features are accessible after start up.” Key specs include: Baseband jitter 25ps rms (typ, 100Hz-40kHz) Wideband jitter 50ps rms (typ, 100Hz-1MHz) Jitter attenuation >60dB (above 100Hz) MCLK frequency range 6-50MHz Analog and highly configurable digital loops Clock multiplier and frequency synthesizer PLL Generates MCLK/BCLK & Frame clocks Phase aligned Frame clock (per AES11) Industry standard MSOP10 package +3.3V power supply To learn more, click here. About THAT CorporationTHAT Corporation, founded in 1989, designs, manufactures, and sells high-performance (until now, mostly) analog integrated circuits for professional audio manufacturers. Besides the new JetPLL ICs, THAT offers InGenius® input and OutSmarts® output stages, low-noise analog-and digitally controlled preamplifiers, digital preamp controllers, Analog Engine® processors, and Blackmer® voltage-controlled amplifiers (VCAs). THAT also licenses Total Sonics® audio technology under the dbx-tv® brand name.

Sei Coin (SEI) May Come Back Bullish As Meme Moguls (MGLS) and Mantle (MNT) Races to $1 This Year

Meme Moguls

After hitting its first all-time high this year, SEI began to come down following a downturn trend that made Sei Coin lose over 17% value in the past week. However, Sei still proves to increase again as it positions for a bullish comeback. On the other hand, Meme Moguls and Mantle are two unique crypto coins set to reach $1 this year, as Meme Moguls is particularly signifying as a good crypto to buy before it launches. SEI Price Shows Promise of Appreciating Again Sei (SEI) has been strong even when the overall market dropped, and now it looks ready for a potential boost. Even when Bitcoin (BTC) prices went down, the value of Sei Coin held firm, indicating its strong position. Supported by the 70.5% Fibonacci level at $0.6375, there's a chance that the Sei price could go up by 20%, reaching around $0.8797, and maybe even hitting $1.0000. Think of Sei (SEI) like a bull in the market right now – people are buying more, and key indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Awesome Oscillator (AO) show a positive trend. So, all signs point to Sei being on a strong upward path.
