Bullish Q3: Explore the Uniswap Surge, Shibarium Relaunch, and Big Eyes Infinity’s 100% Token Airdrop Vow

0

The cryptocurrency landscape welcomed September with a bang, thanks to the Uniswap surge. The upcoming release of Uniswap V4 is the driving force behind this excitement. It’s been over two years since the launch of Uniswap V3, making this advancement a cause for celebration. Following the news, trading volumes surged past the $1.5 trillion mark.

In parallel, Shibarium has demonstrated its resilience by relaunching its bridge network, which briefly experienced issues hours after its initial launch. While this hiccup led to some disgruntled reactions, Shibarium’s impressive bounce-back has quickly attracted 1 million wallets. These bullish states set the stage for an exciting renaissance in the Big Eyes world, which has also faced its fair share of challenges. Now, it has introduced its utility token, Big Eyes Infinity, with a commitment to champion token holders who were previously unable to secure their tokens. How will they do this?

All Things Uniswap Surge, Shiba Inu Updates, and Big Eyes Infinity’s Airdrop Launch

The third quarter (Q3) of 2023 has been marked by somewhat underwhelming price actions, which comes as no surprise. However,  a series of developments have injected brief price surges and maintained overall trust in the market. Notably, the buzz around the upcoming launch of Uniswap V4 has had a significant impact. This is evident from the remarkable increase in trading volume, surpassing the $1.5 trillion milestone.

While we await a more optimistic breakthrough, it’s noteworthy that top exchange whales have been steadily accumulating UNI over the past two weeks. The total holdings of these major players have slightly increased from their monthly low to their current levels. Their success in this endeavour could potentially kickstart a bullish trend.

Simultaneously, positive updates in the world of Shiba Inu are shaping the crypto landscape. The total number of wallets on Shiba Inu’s newly introduced layer-2 blockchain, the Shibarium network, has surged past the one-million mark in a meteoric rise since its relaunch. This milestone signifies that approximately 900,000 wallets have been added since the Shibarium’s relaunch on August 28, just two weeks after the network’s initial launch. Additionally, the Shiba Inu burning tracker reported an astounding burn of 5,715,986,938 SHIBs in August alone. This remarkable level of burning is largely attributed to the successful launch of the Shibarium network.

Furthermore, Big Eyes Infinity has ambitious plans to distribute its entire token supply through an airdrop once its four-month-long presale concludes. This strategic move is motivated by a genuine concern for the welfare of the community, as it aims to reward both $BIGINF and $BIG token holders who may have missed out on acquiring tokens during the presale period.

Why Are They Significant?

The news surrounding the V4 release is optimistic, especially considering that V3 launched two years ago. Consequently, it reflects the community’s excitement and anticipation for this major development and its potential positive impact on the market.

Moreover, the rapid growth of Shiba Inu’s user base and the significant burn of SHIB tokens in August highlight the project’s success and popularity. This news emphasizes the importance of layer-2 solutions for scaling blockchain projects and showcases Shiba Inu’s commitment to innovation, attracting a substantial user base.

Lastly, Big Eyes Infinity’s plan to airdrop its token supply demonstrates a strong commitment to its community. This information is crucial for potential token holders, offering them a chance for rewards even if they missed the presale.

Big Eyes Infinity’s Presale Returns

Big Eyes Infinity stands at the forefront of innovation, offering a compelling opportunity for community engagement and value generation. With its distinct approach to airdrops and presales, it extends a warm invitation to all who wish to be part of a venture that champions community cohesion and pioneering ideas.

<< The Vision Behind Big Eyes Infinity >>

Big Eyes Infinity boasts an endearing cat mascot that accompanies its utility token, $BIGINF, granting token holders entry to the expansive Big Eyes platform. This platform includes exciting features like 819Casino and Play-to-Earn (P2E) games, making waves in the emerging GameFi landscape. Its full-fledged release is slated for the end of September 2023.

Inarguably, the Uniswap surge, following the announcement of its V4’s launch signal a potential bullish wave. Shiba Inu’s meteoric growth, marked by Shibarium’s success and record-breaking token burns, adds further intrigue. Meanwhile, Big Eyes Infinity’s altruistic 100% token airdrop commitment underscores the project’s community-centric ethos. As we navigate this dynamic quarter, the confluence of these factors promises a thrilling ride for everyone involved. This hints at a season of opportunity and innovation in the crypto realm.

Lagos Bans Street Trading & Hawking, Shuts Ladipo Market

0
Lagos Yellow Cab

The Lagos State government has announced a total ban on street trading, hawking, building illegal structures on drainage systems, and displaying wares on walkways across the state.

The decision announced by Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Environment and Water Resources in Lagos State, Tokunbo Wahab on his X handle, came amid Nigeria’s biting economic situation, stirring concern that it will compound crimes in the state.

The decision to ban street hawking and street trading in Lagos is part of a renewed effort to promote a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment, according to Wahab. He added that the measure is intended to address the issue of individuals who engage in criminal activities while posing as hawkers and street traders who disrupt traffic flow on highways and streets.

To enforce this ban, Wahab has issued directives to the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (commonly known as KAI) to rigorously enforce compliance with environmental sanitation laws.

However, many Lagos residents are concerned that the measure will hinder a lot of people from making a living, forcing them into crime. Most of the street hawkers depend on their daily earnings to feed.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner also issued an immediate closure order for Ladipo Market in Mushin due to numerous environmental violations. These offenses include reckless waste disposal, unclean premises, and failure to pay waste bills, among others.

The market will remain closed until traders and market stakeholders meet the mandatory conditions for rectification. The commissioner said this action is part of ongoing initiatives to promote compliance in markets throughout the state. He emphasized the importance of environmental hygiene within marketplaces.

“It is imperative that markets in the state adhere strictly to environmental laws and regulations put in place for the well-being of residents. The closure of Ladipo Market serves as a stern reminder that no entity, regardless of its size or influence, is above the law.”

He reiterated the state government’s strong commitment to working in partnership with market stakeholders to facilitate the essential changes and enhancements required to meet the prescribed environmental standards. He emphasized that the market would not resume operations until these established standards were satisfactorily met.

“Ladipo Market, a prominent hub for automotive spare parts and related services, has been a focal point for environmental concerns due to various activities that contravene established regulations. LAWMA’s intervention is a significant step towards rectifying these issues and bringing the market to compliance”.

The closure of Ladipo Market mirrors previous actions taken against Oyingbo, Alayabiagba, Oke-odo markets, and specific sections of Tejuosho Market, all for repeated violations. These decisions reflect the state government’s steadfast dedication to reinstating environmental orderliness within the state.

Speaking on the mobile data pricing report, consumer Telecoms analyst at Cable.co.uk, Dan Howdle said,

“Our yearly mobile data pricing tracking study is as much a measure of the quantity of data offered as it is the price of data more broadly.

“After all, those counties with the most improved (cheaper) pricing across the five years our tracker now covers tend to be those offering tens or even hundreds of times more data in 2023 as was available for similar money in 2019.

“It is encouraging to see the price of data coming down across the globe as a whole, with the vast majority of countries offering 1GB of mobile data for less than $2”.

The firm further noted that countries with long-established, ubiquitous 4G or new 5G infrastructure tend to fall towards the cheaper end of the table.

Southeast Summit: Okonjo-Iweala Asks Igbos to Shun Individualism, Embrace Solidarity

0

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), has called upon stakeholders in the South-East region to come together and establish collaborative leadership to address the challenges afflicting the region as a unified effort.

Ms. Okonjo-Iweala delivered this message during her keynote address at the South-East Summit on Security and Economy, which commenced in Owerri on Thursday. The overarching theme of the two-day summit is ‘South East Beyond 2023, Time for a Reset’.

“We no longer have solidarity; instead, we are fragmented as a people, and that has made us forget how to support each other. If our big problem is ourselves, it means that the solution also lies in our hands,” she said.

The South-East has in recent years, watched as its economic prowess dwindle – masterminded by miscellaneous factors including insecurity and poor leadership by the region’s governors.

The head of the WTO emphasized the importance of the region enhancing its internally generated revenue, minimizing borrowing, and increasing capital expenditures.

“Governors, state legislatures and local government chairs must continuously ask themselves, are we using our FAC allocation wisely, transparently and effectively?” said Ms Okonjo-Iweala. “Can we generate more revenue internally, and how do we do it while motivating our productive sectors and factors? Are we taking on too much debt? Are we even spending the amount borrowed effectively?”

The South-East is known for its entrepreneurship prowess but has suffered from infrastructural decay, a high unemployment rate, and a dwindling economy. Ms Okonjo-Iweala said a key move in revitalizing the region’s economy is stable electricity.

She advised the region to seize the opportunity of privatization in the electricity sector to look towards solar and gas solutions to improve power supply.

“I want to suggest that we convene a South-East investment forum, not for people from outside the region or abroad but for our own Igbo business people. In this forum, we should examine what is blocking greater investment in the South-East region and what we can do to block these leakages,” Ms Okonjo-Iweala explained.

The DG of the WTO stressed the importance of the region diversifying its economic activities and attracting investments in areas such as pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, labor-intensive industries, and digital technology within the supply chain. She further advised stakeholders to leverage the advantages of digital trade, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises, as well as in online education, health, and accounting services.

Ms. Okonjo-Iweala also encouraged the region to tap into its diaspora resources to bolster the healthcare sector.

“I am sure the South-East governors, coming together, can do some financial engineering and find a way to float a South-East diaspora bond or fund to capture some loans and tenured to financing some development priorities,” she noted.

The South-East Summit also saw governors outline their plans for the region. Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, unveiled plans to establish the first-ever seaport in the Southeast region.

This proposed seaport will be strategically situated in Owazza, within the borders of Abia State’s Ukwa East Local Government Area. Governor Otti also disclosed that the seaport will incorporate an export processing zone and various business promotion facilities.

The primary objective of this seaport project is to serve as a catalyst for economic growth in the Southeast, fostering trade, attracting investments, and generating employment opportunities. Governor Otti highlighted that the construction of the seaport will require substantial investments in transportation and logistics infrastructure.

The project aims to promote balanced regional development, spreading economic benefits across the South-East. The commencement of the project is scheduled for September 30, 2023.
