Chase Bank customers can now pay mortgages using crypto through FCF Pay

  • Chase Bank customers can make cryptocurrency payments for credit card bills, loans, and mortgages.
  • Accepted cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Shiba Inu, XRP, Dogecoin, Binance Coin, Tether, and USD Coin.
  • Despite this collaboration, Chase Bank maintains its stance of settling payments in fiat currency, not cryptocurrencies.

In a significant development in the world of finance, Chase Bank, a subsidiary of JP Morgan Chase, has teamed up with FCF Pay, a Canadian blockchain payments processor, to offer customers the option of paying their credit card bills, loans, and mortgage payments using cryptocurrencies.

This move adds Chase Bank to the growing list of financial institutions that are exploring the integration of digital currencies into their services.

Cryptocurrency payments for bills

Under this new partnership, Chase Bank customers can make payments using a variety of popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Binance Coin (BNB), as well as stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC).

This expanded payment option reflects the increasing acceptance of digital assets in mainstream finance.

While this development may seem like Chase Bank is fully embracing cryptocurrencies, it’s essential to clarify that the bank’s core stance on crypto has not shifted. FCF Pay processes these cryptocurrency payments on behalf of customers, but the final settlements with Chase Bank are made in fiat currency through an off-ramp solution.

This ensures that Chase Bank continues to operate within traditional financial frameworks.

Chase doesn’t directly accept crypto

Justin K. Page, the Communications VP for Chase Bank, emphasized that Chase does not directly accept cryptocurrencies for mortgage payments, loans, or credit cards. The bank’s official position remains unchanged, as it does not have an affiliation with FCF Pay. This distinction is crucial, as it clears any misconceptions about the bank’s stance on cryptocurrency acceptance.

Notably, Chase Bank’s foray into cryptocurrency payments follows the footsteps of other major financial institutions that have embraced blockchain technology. Earlier in 2023, JP Morgan Chase launched blockchain Euro payments, demonstrating its support for the adoption of blockchain technology.

Memeinator presale hits $590k as investors eye meme resurgence

  • The Memeinator (MMTR) presale has hit $590k just days after its launch. 
  • As a new AI-powered project, Memeinator aims at providing genuine utility and value to crypto meme users.
  • It’s a new era that will see Memeinator hunt down and destroy weak meme coins on its way to a $1 billion market cap.

Traction for the global meme cryptocurrency space over the past two years has been spectacular. What with the rise of meme altcoins like Dogecoin and the impressive Shiba Inu, Pepe and FLOKI driving a practically non-existent market to a $20 billion ecosystem. At its peak, memes accounted for over $36 billion of total crypto market cap.

But while the trajectory for meme coins is expected to be on the upside as quality comes to the sector, one project – Memeinator (MMTR) – wants to see the market rid of weak memes. An annihilation of these poorly designed and often scam projects is what will restore the ecosystem’s belief in such tokens.

That era is here with the launch of the Memeinator presale.

What is Memeinator?

The Memeinator (MMTR) presale launched on September 27, marking the crypto project’s first encounter with the crypto community. It was also the beginning of the end for puny tokens masquerading as dog, frog or other such meme-inspired projects.

Within days, Memeinator has attracted over $590k from investors – a debut that suggests this AI-powered project offers value that the community has failed to garner from many of the OG meme replicas.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day”- inspired Memeinator has served notice to all memes – it has a $1 billion market cap in the short term and achieving it means hunting down all weak memes. Leveraging an AI-powered Memescanner system to dominate the space is not all though.

The project seeks to give its community access to real value via the Memeinator Game and will incorporate NFTs, staking rewards, token burns to unlock further gains for MMTR holders. With such utility prospects built into the roadmap, it’s likely the presale could be just the beginning of an astounding community initiative.

Among would-be competing altcoins, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Floki and Pepe stand out. According to data from CoinGecko, only DOGE and SHIB have a current market cap of over $1 billion – $8.6 billion and $4.2 billion. The Memeinator’s $1 billion market cap target means FLOKI and PEPE are currently among those marked for early judgement.

What’s the price of Memeinator (MMTR)?

Crypto and AI enthusiasts can scoop up MMTR at $0.0112 in stage three of the presale before price jumps to $0.0118. Notably, the token was priced at $0.01, a likely bargain given the final presale price is locked in at $0.0485.

Although market uncertainty and other headwinds could dictate trading performance when coins list on major exchanges, the explosive returns by major projects within the ecosystem suggest MMTR is trending towards a solid debut.

When will Memeinator hit the trading market?

The Memeinator presale has been split into 29 stages, with the project’s whitepaper outlining a total MMTR supply of 1 billion tokens. According to its stated tokenomics, 62.5% of MMTR will be available to early birds via the presale, while the rest is split between exchange listings and marketing, development, liquidity provision and competition pool.

You can buy MMTR today ETH, BNB, USDT and USDC, with the tokens purchased claimable when distribution takes place at the end of the presale. Users have to note that MMTR can only be purchased via the official presale page (accessible here) at this stage. 

The tokens will later be available on leading cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms after the presale, expected to be in Q4 2023.

Tradecurve Markets (TCRV)’s meteoric rise rivals Tron (TRX) and Avalanche (AVAX)

In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, Tradecurve Markets has emerged as a new contender, experiencing a meteoric rise that is drawing investors away from established coins like Tron (TRX) and Avalanche (AVAX). 

Even though Tradecurve Markets is still in its presale phase, the industry-defining features of this platform are turning heads in the crypto community.

Tradecurve Markets bridging crypto, Stocks, and Forex

Tradecurve Markets is a hybrid trading platform that’s rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with. Recently, it’s not just its innovative approach to trading that’s catching attention, but its remarkable ability to attract and redirect investments from established giants like Tron and Avalanche.

The platform amalgamates multiple asset classes, spanning cryptocurrencies, forex, commodities, and company stocks. This one-stop-shop approach to trading eliminates the inconvenience of managing assets across different platforms, offering users a singular, streamlined interface.

In an age where data privacy is paramount, Tradecurve Markets’ commitment to user anonymity stands out. The platform challenges the status quo by dismissing the customary, often tedious, KYC/AML processes. Instead, users can effortlessly onboard with just an email address and a cryptocurrency deposit.

Beyond its ease of use, Tradecurve Markets distinguishes itself with a suite of advanced trading tools. The inclusion of AI-enhanced trading strategies copy trading options, and leverages reaching up to 500:1 caters to both novices and seasoned traders.

The undeniable excitement surrounding the TCRV token is a testament to Tradecurve Markets’ burgeoning popularity. The token’s value has surged from $0.010 to $0.030 (representing a 200% surge) in a matter of weeks, with no signs of slowing.

Market analysts note that Tradecurve Markets’ surge in value is seeing an exodus of investors from Tron, Avalanche, and other established coins. They therefore expect the platform to close the gap between itself and its competitors in the coming months, with a $1.00 target price for the TCRV token by the close of 2023.

Tron (TRX)’s initial explosion and the hype cycle

Tron has been making headlines since its inception in 2017 as a blockchain-based platform for content sharing. That year saw Tron’s value soar to an all-time high of $0.30 per token and a whopping market capitalization of $12 billion. Fast forward to now, and its price has dwindled, settling at $0.077 and a market cap just north of $6 billion.

Much of Tron’s early ascent can be credited to the relentless marketing campaigns orchestrated by Tron’s CEO, Justin Sun. He painted Tron as the “next big thing” in the realm of smart contract platforms. But as the promotional blitz subsided, so did Tron’s price and market enthusiasm.

Adding to Tron’s woes is the circulating rumour regarding its CTO’s detention. Many Tron holders are now seeking solace in the Tradecurve Markets presale to grab the last remaining phase-5 tokens before the public launch.

Avalanche’s lead in the DeFi arena

Avalanche has been a major player in the DeFi arena since its launch in 2019. Much like Tron, it initially skyrocketed to reach an all-time high of $146 and a market cap of over $30 billion. That was back at the end of January 2021 though – today, Avalanche’s price is just $10.03.

Avalanche’s decline has been attributed to its lack of scalability and use cases, with many users finding it difficult to interact with the Avalanche platform due to its complexity and technical nature.

The current price of $10.03 means that Avalanche is on the edge of breaking below the significant $10 support zone. This Avalanche support has held strong for more than two years, so you can imagine the shockwave that will be sent through the DeFi space if it breaks

With a possible Avalanche decline to the $3.50 level on the horizon, many Avalanche investors could turn to Tradecurve Markets to advantage of the TCRV presale.

Shiba Memu stands out as investor buying power hits 6-month high

  • Shiba Memu presale has hit $3.6 million as more investors buy into AI meme coin.
  • Meanwhile, stablecoin on exchanges is at a 6-month high, led by massive whale deposits.
  • What does spike in exchange buying power means for crypto, Shiba Memu?

Although the crypto market is still largely in the accumulation phase amid the latest price movement, analysts are pointing to on-chain data to suggest a bull run might not be that far off. That has to do with an uptick in exchange holdings of the stablecoin Tether (USDT), a metric that has historically coincided with fresh opportunities for crypto investors.

What does this strong bullish flip mean for Shiba Memu, a new crypto project that has raised nearly $3.6 million in its recently launched presale?

Investor buying power jumps 7%, what it means

As Bitcoin broke above $28k earlier this week, on-chain data shared by market intelligence platform Santiment pointed to a significant change in investor sentiment. This is down to the amount of Tether on exchanges, which data shows recently hit a six month high. The exchange buying power increased 7% from roughly 17.6% to 24.7%.

It’s an increase that points to a spike in stablecoin buying power, often an accumulation phase that precedes a fresh entry into the market. A sharp rise in exchange buying power, which takes shape with whales in the forefront, tells the market investors know it’s time to buy the dip.

The 10 largest addresses have also upped their $USDT holdings from $7.30B to $9.42B in 3 months,” Santiment wrote on X (formerly Twitter). It’s an outlook that suggests the next market dip could be significant, although that’s when investors seize on the opportunity to buy at discount prices.

Often, BTC and ETH are top buys when prices crash. XRP and Polygon, two altcoins that are seeing month-high volumes driven by various factors, could be at the top of many investors’ watchlists.  However, as investors have always eyed the next bull market gem – one of the projects attracting most attention in Shiba Memu.

Shiba Memu – marrying meme with AI

Shiba Memu is a project that seeks to bring the benefits of artificial intelligence to the meme coin world.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and other leading meme tokens have one feature in common – the inordinate reliance on human marketing effort to feed into the hype that drives traction. Shiba Memu stands out on this aspect among its would-be memesphere competitors. Mainly, it’s the AI-driven project’s leveraging of the new technology to create a marketing powerhouse that doesn’t rely on human effort.

Apart from that, value for the community will be enhanced by functionality such as staking and interaction with decentralised applications (dApps).

How does Shiba Memu work?

Natural language processing, machine learning, predictive analytics and image/video recognition are among trends that define the project’s selling point. AI algorithms will be used to create a self-sustaining marketing machine, feeding on the meme-inspired world to drive adoption for SHMU.

This will be achieved via a unique AI dashboard that will among other features offer direct interaction between the meme genius and Shiba Memu holders. Feedback and suggestions incorporated from users will give them a chance to earn extra SHMU.

AI narrative – mainstream adoption is here

One of the major venture funding developments this week has been the news that artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is looking to raise $2 billion from investors, led by Google. Reported by The Information, the details emerge just days after ecommerce behemoth Amazon.com Inc. said it would invest up to $4 billion in the OpenAI rival.  

According to the report, Anthropic’s latest funding could see the company valued at $30 billion, a prospect that has ignited interest in AI following the high expectations championed by Microsoft, Nvidia and Palantir among others.

Elsewhere is the continuing adoption of crypto and blockchain that has investor optimism on the industry’s future at new highs. Shiba Memu’s AI-powered project sits nicely at the intersection of these two technological developments.

Indeed, interest in this AI-powered meme token has seen its presale attract remarkable investment from around the globe. Currently, that amount stands at $3.6 million and more will likely seek this early-bird opportunity.
