Altcoins Massive Gains on the Horizon after MACD Crossover

by

  • Market observers expect a rally for altcoins since the MACD crossing indicates signs of higher returns.
  • The altcoin market is now at the top point of a triangular wedge shape, indicating a big price change could happen soon.
  • Analysts are confident that a breakthrough in this market could result in generational wealth for those who invest.

Analysts are warning of an upcoming boom for altcoins, which are crypto assets other than Bitcoin. According to MerlinTheTrader, an experienced trader on X, the altcoin market is experiencing a “bullish” phase, as indicated by the weekly MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) chart.

The Bullish MACD Crossover Could Get the Altcoins Rally Started

This indicator is showing a sign that prices could move up in the near future. It pointed out that previous years saw significant gains for altcoins, 150% in 2023 and 90% in 2024, so the same might happen in 2025.

The picture from MerlinTheTrader shows a line chart that records the market cap of all altcoins. A green box is placed over the latest upward trend, which implies there might be a 150% increase if the situation repeats.

Under the main chart, the lines from the MACD graph are shown moving upward and are marked with green circles that say “Bullish Crossover.” The market is displaying signs that it is coming out of a slowdown and moving toward growth.

Altcoins Near Critical Breakout or Breakdown

In a separate post, the analyst shared a chart that shows that altcoins have been stuck in a pattern of consolidation for four years. As a result, the prices of cryptocurrencies have been holding steady, and this makes analysts predict that pressure is building.

The trend takes a triangular shape called a “wedge” as the gap between prices has become smaller. Merlijn The Trader notes that the market has reached the “apex” of the wedge, which means a big price move is about to happen.

The value of these altcoins could either surge upward or drop sharply, depending on which direction the market breaks. The total market cap of altcoins, according to the chart, is currently around $432.48 billion, down 4.87% recently.

Despite this dip, the trader remains optimistic, stating that what happens next might set the tone for the entire cryptocurrency market for years to come. The trader also emphasizes the potential for “generational wealth,” meaning that those who invest wisely during this period could see significant returns if the market breaks upward.

Crypto Investor Accused of Kidnapping, Torturing Man Over Bitcoin Access

by

  • A crypto investor from Manhattan held an Italian man captive in a $30K/month Soho townhouse.
  • Victim was tortured for crypto access—beaten, shocked, cut with saw, forced drugs.
  • A woman was arrested but later released; her role in the crime remains unclear.

John Woeltz, a 37-year-old crypto investor from Manhattan, was charged with kidnapping and torturing an Italian man over a digital wallet. He was arraigned Saturday and pleaded not guilty to four felonies, including kidnapping for ransom. The court denied bail, ordering him to stay in custody until his next hearing on May 28.

The victim arrived in New York on May 6 and was abducted shortly after, according to police. He was held captive in a $30,000-a-month Soho townhouse rented by Woeltz. Inside, the victim endured weeks of violence and abuse as captors demanded access to his Bitcoin wallet.

When the victim refused to give up his passwords, he was allegedly beaten, electrically shocked, assaulted with a firearm, and hung from the upper floors of the five-story building. The situation worsened when Woeltz reportedly used a saw to cut his leg and made him smoke crack cocaine. The attackers also threatened his family, according to police statements.

Photos Support Allegations of Abuse

Photographs discovered inside the townhouse—specifically Polaroids—appear to support the victim’s claims of physical abuse. He eventually managed to escape on Friday and alert law enforcement, triggering Woeltz’s arrest later that day.

A 24-year-old woman was also arrested on Friday in connection with the case. However, she was seen in public the following day, and court records show no charges filed against her. Authorities have yet to disclose her role in the incident or explain the nature of her connection to Woeltz or the victim.

Whether any cryptocurrency was actually taken remains unknown. Investigators are still working to determine the financial scope of the crime.

Crypto Crimes Are on the Rise

This is not the only violent case linked to digital currency this year. Jameson Lopp’s GitHub has already logged 22 similar attacks—often referred to as “$5 wrench” incidents—in 2025 alone. Criminals are turning to direct physical violence to access cryptocurrency wallets, escalating tactics beyond digital methods.

France recorded two prominent kidnapping incidents in May. On May 4, a group abducted the father of a French cryptocurrency entrepreneur, transported him roughly 35 miles to Essonne, and severed one of his fingers. Attackers filmed the assault and delivered the footage to the victim’s son, demanding 5 million euros in cryptocurrency.

Just nine days later, on May 13, masked men tried to kidnap the daughter and grandson of Pierre Noizat, the CEO of French crypto exchange Paymium, as they walked in Paris. The attack failed after Noizat’s daughter disarmed one of the men and bystanders stepped in. The suspects escaped in a van later found abandoned nearby.

The violence has drawn attention from French officials. On May 16, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau met with cryptocurrency professionals to address the growing threat to individuals in the industry. Discussions focused not only on asset protection but also on physical safety for crypto holders and their families.

UK Unveils Draft Crypto Rules to Regulate Exchanges and Protect Investors

by

  • UK draft law brings crypto exchanges and dealers under financial services regulation.
  • According to FCA research, UK crypto ownership rose from 4% in 2021 to 12% in 2024.
  • UK and US plan transatlantic collaboration on digital asset regulation and innovation.

The UK government has released draft legislation to regulate cryptoassets. The proposal intends to bring digital asset exchanges, dealers and agents within existing financial services law to improve investor confidence and consumer protection. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves announced the changes during UK Fintech Week in London.

According to the government, the draft amends the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to include crypto-related activities such as operating exchanges and offering custody services. The proposed framework establishes new transparency, operational resilience, and consumer protection standards that companies serving UK customers must implement.

These draft rules follow a notable rise in crypto adoption in the UK. According to data from the Financial Conduct Authority, 12% of UK adults owned or had owned crypto assets in 2024, compared to 4% in 2021. The initiative has been implemented to define safe regulatory boundaries for promoting responsible technological advancement.

International Cooperation and Transatlantic Alignment

In addition, Chancellor Reeves also revealed ongoing discussions with the United States to coordinate digital asset policy. These talks with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent included proposals for a potential “transatlantic sandbox” for digital securities. The UK and US will continue this dialogue during the next June Financial Regulatory Working Group meeting.

The UK’s approach aligns more closely with the United States’ regulatory path, which treats crypto assets as securities, rather than the European Union’s specialized crypto framework under the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA). Experts suggest this alignment may offer greater clarity to firms operating across the Atlantic.

Nick Price, a financial services lawyer at Osborne Clarke, described the legislation as “a simple and straightforward piece” that introduces regulatory certainty. Simon Treacy from Linklaters noted that while the draft defines which assets and activities are in scope, more detailed implementation rules will follow.

Stablecoins and Crime Enforcement Measures

The legislative framework also contains provisions that intend to regulate stablecoin operations. The proposed framework specifies UK-based stablecoin issuers as the exclusive subjects for regulatory oversight. The inclusion reflects the growing recognition of stablecoins as digital payment instruments, potentially affecting monetary policy and consumer safety.

In addition, the UK government passed new legislation strengthening crypto-related enforcement efforts as part of its regulatory expansion. The crime bill passed earlier this year increases police authority to confiscate digital assets related to illegal activities.

These developments form part of the government’s broader Plan for Change which includes measures to grow the financial services industry. Reeves stated that the new rules “make Britain the best place to innovate and the safest place for consumers.” She emphasized that the UK remains open to responsible innovation but will act decisively against fraud and instability.

Notably, the Treasury is accepting feedback from stakeholders on the draft until May 25. After collecting industry feedback the final legislation will be introduced later in 2025.

Additionally, the Chancellor plans to launch the UK’s first Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy on July 15 at the annual Mansion House speech. The strategy prioritizes fintech development and targets UK leadership in digital finance.

Digital Asset Investment Products See $415M Outflows Amid Fed’s Hawkish Stance

by

  • Digital asset investment products saw $415M in outflows after 19 weeks of inflows
  • Bitcoin outflows totaled $430M, while Solana and XRP saw inflows of $8.9M and $8.5M.
  • US saw $464M in outflows from crypto ETPs, with altcoins like Solana attracting inflows.

Digital asset investment products have experienced significant outflows for the first time since a 19-week streak of inflows post-US election. CoinShares data shows outflows totaling $415 million, as a result of macroeconomic factors, including the US Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance and higher-than-expected inflation data. Despite these outflows certain assets saw inflows reflecting ongoing investor interest in specific altcoins.

Bitcoin Faces the Largest Outflows

According to CoinShares data, by interest rate anticipation, Bitcoin became the most affected digital asset and recorded $430 million of withdrawals from investor portfolios. Notably, investment funds withdrew from Bitcoin following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks about delayed interest rate reductions. Inflation exceeding market expectations also contributed to the withdrawal of funds from Bitcoin-based investment products. Despite the major Bitcoin price decline, it failed to generate substantial investments in short-Bitcoin products.

The United States led the outflow activity in digital assets with $464 million withdrawn while other countries remained relatively unaffected by the market fluctuations. During this period, Switzerland, Germany, and Canada accounted for minimal net inflows worth $10.2 million, $21 million and $12.5 million, respectively. However, the digital asset outflows did not discourage market participants from showing interest in altcoins.

Solana and XRP Attract Investor Attention

During this period, Bitcoin experienced declines while Solana (SOL) and XRP saw substantial inflows. The Solana platform attracted the biggest asset inflows, amounting to $8.9 million. XRP came in second after Solana with $8.5 million, and Sui obtained $6 million in inflows. Solana and XRP had huge inflows due to the US SEC’s approval of ETFs.

Analysts predict that Solana and XRP ETFs will likely gain approval, with Solana having a 75% probability and XRP having a 65% probability. The possible approval would boost institutional usage of these assets, which should lead to increased investments. Potential ETFs generate optimistic expectations that oppose Bitcoin outflows, redirecting investor attention toward alternative digital assets.

In addition to the inflows, Solana and XRP received additional investments and positive developments in blockchain equity markets. During Q3, blockchain equities attracted $20.8 million worth of investments, which boosted the total annual investment to $220 million. The changes in investor choices toward alternative assets beyond Bitcoin suggest this tendency might persist over the upcoming weeks based on economic developments.

HashKey Group Secures $30 Million Investment from China’s Gaorong Ventures

by

  • Gaorong Ventures invests $30M in HashKey, increasing its valuation to $1.5B.
  • HashKey’s spot Bitcoin ETF has generated over $71M in inflows since launch in 2024.
  • Gaorong’s investment expands its tech portfolio into the rapidly growing crypto sector.

The China-based venture capital firm Gaorong Ventures made a $30 million investing move to support the Hong Kong-registered HashKey Group. According to Bloomberg reports, HashKey Group has received a $1.5 billion valuation through the recent $30 million investment from Gaorong Ventures. The company’s newest capital infusion occurred after its unicorn was valued at $1.2 billion in 2024 following unspecified investors in a Series A funding round.

HashKey Group’s Crypto Market Influence

Gaorong Ventures demonstrates its focus on Chinese tech investments by entering HashKey through a recent portfolio expansion. The $30 million investment represents a strategic business decision due to Gaorong Ventures expanding its portfolio into digital assets and blockchain technology sectors. The newly acquired funds will allow HashKey to enhance its cryptocurrency market presence because of the industry sector’s fast growth since last year particularly in Hong Kong.

The digital assets sector attracts high investor interest in China even though the country maintains ongoing regulatory concerns about these assets. Gaorong’s new cryptocurrency venture fits into China’s industry-wide movement, where companies expand their blockchain-related investment portfolios. Leading corporations, including Tencent, demonstrate their growing crypto investment interests, thus showing China’s stance on participating in worldwide digital asset platforms.

HashKey Group’s Role in Hong Kong’s Crypto Landscape

HashKey Group is one of Hong Kong’s first cryptocurrency exchanges following the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) guidelines. The exchange benefits from this regional advantage because the Hong Kong government keeps developing clearer digital asset regulations. The Group continues to advance in the sector through its trading services, asset management solutions and blockchain ecosystem products.

The group has launched notable financial products, including a spot Bitcoin, Ethereum Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), and other financial products in addition to its basic crypto exchange service. When it debuted in April 2024, the company’s Bitcoin ETF received more than $71 million in net inflows. HashKey established its Chain Layer 2 network while expanding the range of cryptocurrency services it provides.

The Future of Crypto in Hong Kong and China’s Influence

The crypto market in Hong Kong thrives due to well-defined regulatory standards that led HashKey and other firms to establish their operations in the region. In late 2024, the Hong Kong government granted licensing approval to PantherTrade, YAX, and several other crypto exchanges. Hong Kong continues developing itself into an international blockchain innovation and cryptocurrency trading center through these regulatory actions.

China tightly controls cryptocurrency trading while the country’s economic power affects the production of worldwide digital assets. Hong Kong-based execution platforms and other alternative financial tools enable Chinese investors to remain involved in this sector.

Metaplanet’s Massive 4,800% Stock Jump Drives Strategic Push to Acquire 21,000 BTC

by

  • Metaplanet’s stock surged 4,800% in 12 months, fueled by a Bitcoin-first strategy.
  • Metaplanet aims to acquire 21,000 BTC by 2027, holding $172M in Bitcoin as of January 2025.
  • Retail investors increased by 500% in 2024, drawn by Japan’s NISA program and Bitcoin’s rise.

The Metaplanet Inc. stock increased 4,800% during the last 12 months, becoming one of Japan’s top-performing securities during this time period. The company undertook its Bitcoin-centered investment approach in early 2024, as the stock value soared to new levels. Metaplanet follows the same Bitcoin investment model as Michael Saylor’s Strategy used to run MicroStrategy Inc., where both entities achieved similar benefits from their cryptocurrency investments.

The startup Metaplanet started its operations under the former name Red Planet Japan Inc., where it primarily dedicated itself to hotel development. The company transformed its operational direction after the pandemic-hit economic slowdown in early 2024. CEO Simon Gerovich adopted the corporate Bitcoin strategy of Microstrategy’s Michael Saylor after his time as a Goldman Sachs equity derivatives trader.

By January 2025, the company had 1,762 Bitcoins worth approximately $172 million. Furthermore, Metaplanet intends to accumulate 10,000 BTC before the end of 2025 and continue its growth toward 21,000 BTC by 2027.

Retail Investor Growth and Stock Performance

The company achieved stunning market growth during 2024, resulting in a 500% increase in shareholders, which brought total investor numbers to nearly 50,000 individuals. Capital Group stands among institutional investors together with a substantial pool of retail investors who have shown interest in the company. Japan’s updated Nippon Individual Savings Account program offers tax incentives and long-term investment support, attracting numerous individual shareholders to the firm.

The company gained retail investor attention through its Bitcoin acquisition and decision to use this cryptocurrency as a reserve asset. Retail investors consider Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Metaplanet continues to operate one hotel property, which will reportedly become the “The Bitcoin Hotel” to host Bitcoin education programs and events.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Goals Amid Volatility

The surge in Metaplanet stock due to Bitcoin’s wild price fluctuations makes investors doubt the endurance of its current approach. The company plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring up to 21,000 BTC. However, the company faces potential risks because its Bitcoin dependency becomes dangerous during market volatility, which leads to a drop in cryptocurrency prices. Shareholders should track Metaplanet’s performance because Bitcoin price movements directly affect company stock value.

Hong Kong Approves Investment Immigration Applications Using Cryptocurrency

by

  • Hong Kong approves Bitcoin and Ethereum for investment immigration applications.
  • Two successful immigration cases used crypto assets worth HK$30 million as proof.
  • Hong Kong’s program now allows digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum for visas.

On February 7, 2025, Hong Kong authorized the first investment immigration applications that utilized cryptocurrency assets for verification. Two applicants achieved acceptance of the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme through cryptocurrency investments worth HK$30 million, comprising Ethereum and Bitcoin. 

The country’s immigration policy has changed by implementing cryptocurrency asset approvals to show increasing interest in digital economic activities. Following their review process, the Hong Kong Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) verified and approved an Ethereum-based application submitted by a Chinese mainland applicant. 

Authorities previously approved the use of Bitcoin assets in October 2024. Hong Kong authorities have initiated the first cryptocurrency-related financial processes, demonstrating an ongoing official acceptance of digital assets.

Investment Immigration Program and Crypto Asset Requirements

The Investment Immigration Program of Hong Kong requires applicants to prove ownership of HK$30 million (US$3.85 million) before they receive visa consideration. These assets must be stored in stock or regulated assets for approval. After getting approval, applicants must invest the same amount for six months. A sustainable investment allows immigrants to renew their visas in a 2-2-3 cycle before they achieve permanent residency status.

Investors remain uncertain whether cryptocurrency purchases or ETFs would satisfy visa investment criteria. The government is currently evaluating its position regarding these investment types. The authorities conducting the program may provide additional clarification about which crypto assets beyond Ethereum and Bitcoin can qualify as valid investment opportunities.

According to current requirements, applicants must maintain their cryptocurrency assets either in cold wallets or on major exchanges such as Binance to qualify as part of their investment-based immigration. The approved cases have proven crypto assets suitable as proof, but additional policy adjustments may follow.

Expansion of Cryptocurrency Acceptance in Asia

The Hong Kong government joins several Asian nations that now consider cryptocurrency legitimate proof for showing financial assets. Singapore has permitted cryptocurrency to serve similar functions during immigration procedures for an extended period. Singapore implements tighter regulations about crypto asset acquisitions by setting proof requirements for asset origin.

These crypto-backed applications demonstrate Hong Kong’s favorable stance on digital assets, evident in the growing adoption of global cryptocurrency. According to Bitcoin supply data, the APAC region experienced a 6.4% yearly increase in retail transactions. Hong Kong’s crypto market demonstrates growth while other U.S. and European areas experience declining interest. The growth happened because markets like Singapore and South Korea made their regulations more straightforward, leading to more people joining their cryptocurrency markets.

The Role of Technology in Crypto and Traditional Investments

by

The investment world has been completely transformed in recent years by a wave of new technology. Forget complex phone calls and stacks of paperwork – today’s investors have online platforms, powerful algorithms and mountains of data right at the tips of their fingers.

This article will look at the three main tech advancements that are changing the game: blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics. Read on to see how these tools are shaking things up in both traditional and cryptocurrency investing, opening doors to exciting opportunities and also presenting a handful of new challenges.

Blockchain technology: A shift in the investment world

The rise of blockchain technology has drastically changed the way transactions are executed and secured. In the world of cryptocurrency, blockchain provides the ability to securely and transparently record transactions without the need for a central authority. This decentralized approach has led to the rise of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which offer alternatives to traditional currencies and investment opportunities outside of the traditional financial system.

Blockchain’s streamlining power in traditional investments

While blockchain may have taken the financial world by storm with cryptocurrencies, its potential extends far beyond this single digital asset class. Traditional investments, which are so often bogged down by paperwork and middlemen, stand to benefit from this innovative technology in a big way.

Using Blockchain, processes like stock settlements and ownership transfers in traditional investments – think unit-linked insurance, like tak 23 policies, can be streamlined. This could mean faster transactions, lower costs, and much greater transparency for everyone involved.

The streamlining capabilities of blockchain are also applicable to various traditional investments. Stock trades, bond transfers and even real estate ownership can all benefit from more streamlined and transparent approaches.

AI and the rise of smart algorithms

AI, with its advanced algorithms, is analyzing massive amounts of data to transform how people invest. In the crypto world, AI-powered bots can scan market trends and make trades at lightning speed, something human investors simply can’t do. This is leading to more automation and smoother trading in crypto markets.

For traditional investments, AI algorithms have also turned the investment process on its head. Thanks to their ability to analyze complex data, AI models can identify trends, assess risks and uncover potential investment opportunities in the blink of an eye. This has enabled institutional investors and hedge funds to make more informed decisions and optimize returns.

Big data analytics

Imagine being able to analyze huge amounts of data, both organized and messy, to gain valuable insights. That’s what big data analytics offers. In the realm of crypto, these platforms can identify patterns in market movements, analyze social media sentiment, and even predict future price trends. This allows investors to make data-driven decisions and manage risk more effectively.

Traditional investments have also benefited a great deal. By analyzing company results, economic indicators and consumer trends, investors can now make more informed choices about where to put their money. This leads to a more personalized approach to investing and better diversification of investment portfolios.

The future of investing

These technological advancements aren’t just changing how individuals invest, they’re changing how people plan for their financial future. From crypto to traditional markets, investors have more opportunities than ever before to reach their financial goals.

However, there are challenges too. These technologies are complex, and investors need to understand the risks involved. Plus, the rapid pace of innovation means investors need to stay informed to stay ahead of the curve.

As technology continues to move forward, with breakthroughs like quantum computing on the horizon, the role of technology in investing will only become more prominent. Investors who embrace this revolution will be best positioned to thrive in this increasingly complex and dynamic market environment.

Altify Merges Crypto And Other Alternative Assets To Empower Investors

by

A new alternative investment platform called Altify has been planned by the merger of two South African crypto exchange platforms, Revix and Bitfund, with an Austrian digital asset platform. The new entity, which is based in London, aims to provide access to alternative investment opportunities that are usually out of reach for most people.

Altify offers a range of alternative investment products, such as private credit (private debt), venture capital, real estate, crypto assets, and collectibles. These products are designed to diversify the portfolio of investors and offer higher returns than traditional assets.

According to Sean Sanders, the founder of Revix and the CEO of Altify, the new platform not only strengthens their position in the South African market but also expands their investment reach. He said:

“Ultimately, our goal is to enable South African investors the opportunity to harness the power of alternative investment, positioning ourselves as the go-to alternative investment platform across South Africa and the bigger EMEA region.”

Altify Aims To Democratize Alternative Investments

Sanders also said that Altify wants to change the perception that alternative investments are only for older and wealthier individuals. He said that Altify wants to democratize alternative investments and attract younger investors who are looking for more exciting and innovative ways to grow their wealth.

Altify claims to have a user-friendly and intuitive platform that allows investors to easily access and manage their alternative investments. The Investment platform also provides educational resources and support to help investors make informed decisions.

The merger transaction was supported by the shareholders of the three companies, which include Sabvest, CVVC, Founders Factory, Emurgo, High-Tech Gründerfonds, and Calm/Storm Ventures. The merger also received the backing of angel investors Frank Westermann and Johann “Hansi” Hansmann.

Altify is one of the pioneers in the crypto asset space, which is one of the fastest-growing segments of alternative investments. The Investment platform offers exposure to various crypto assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polkadot, as well as crypto index funds, which track the performance of a basket of crypto assets.

Altify is confident that its platform will appeal to a large and diverse group of investors who are looking for alternative ways to invest their money and achieve their financial goals.

AltSignals vs. yPredict. Which is the Next 100x AI Investment?

by

There’s no doubt that AI is changing the game when it comes to innovation, with projects looking to leverage cutting-edge technology in order to create value for users. The recent growth in awareness as a result of the release of ChatGPT has driven increased interest in projects leveraging an AI-driven approach, but identifying which project has the highest potential can be difficult.

Many have switched their investments to established, exciting projects like AltSignals that are in the rare position of being able to build upon an already successful business, but can newcomers like yPredict really compete? 

What is AltSignals?

AltSignals is evolving into the world’s first AI-driven trading indicator, having delivered best-in-class trading signals for crypto, Binance Futures, Forex, CFD, and the traditional stock market since 2017. 

The ASI token presale is the next step in AltSignals’ mission to integrate advanced AI into its product offerings. With the development of the ActualizeAI layer, AltSignals aims to create an algorithm that learns and improves over time, leveraging natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to provide trading indicators with unprecedented accuracy.

How does ASI work?

The ASI token will supercharge the AI capabilities of AltSignals’ leading algorithm and support the development of a suite of tools and insights using cutting-edge methodologies, including natural language processing and reinforcement learning. By purchasing ASI tokens, investors gain exclusive access to the new ActualizeAI signals algorithm and the AI Members Club, unlocking increased accuracy, real-time analysis, and a wealth of opportunities within the ecosystem.

ASI token holders will also benefit from secondary use cases, including trading, earning through AI Members Club participation, and governance voting on the AltSignals platform. The more ASI tokens held, the greater the level of access to the ActualizeAI ecosystem, with early access to tools and opportunities.

By buying 50,000 tokens, investors receive free access to the existing AltAlgo™ signals service and lifetime membership to the ActualizeAI product once it launches in 2023. As if that wasn’t enough, ASI token holders will be eligible to join the unique AI Members Club, contributing to testing and enjoying early access to public rollouts.

ASI price prediction

There’s no doubt among experienced private crypto investment groups that ASI is a project that looks set to deliver incredible returns for early investors who are able to invest in a project with untold potential. It’s unheard of that a crypto investment is available at such highly discounted prices when it already has a huge captive audience to leverage.

As a result, many investors are trying to figure out just how high ASI can go. While the price of the tokens at the end of the presale sits just above $0.02, analysts are already asking whether ASI can reach an impressive $0.50 over the coming six months as the product begins to release to ASI holders and the expected surge in demand drives the token price upwards. 

What is yPredict?

yPredict is a crypto project also looking to leverage AI in order to provide AI-driven technical analysis, although it faces a more difficult market in light of not having an established user base. As a result, the biggest issue is whether it has sufficient data to be able to leverage AI to its full capability, and many believe it could struggle to secure market share against the likes of AltSignals.

yPredict could see good results if it is able to come out of the blocks fast with incredible results, but this is yet to be seen. The presale price of YPRED is also relatively high at $0.05, which could impact the uptake from investors who see better opportunities elsewhere.

YPRED price prediction

While YPRED finds itself in a tougher position than AltSignals, it could still benefit from the boom in interest in AI. If it can deliver on its lofty promises, then early holders could see the token price rise to $0.15 by the end of the year..

Which is the better investment: ASI or YPRED?

It’s clear to experienced investors that while both ASI and YPRED are well-timed in taking their products to market, ASI has some significant advantages, such as its well-established user base, that make it a clear favorite for investors looking to lock in the highest profits.
