Poodlana rises as digital assets see $2.2 billion inflows

Poodlana is among the cryptocurrencies to record a flip in price direction as the ecosystem recorded $2.2 billion in digital assets investment inflows. While Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana eye key support levels, its likely the positive sentiment pushes other alts higher.

What this means is that Poodlana price could go parabolic amid highly anticipated US election?

Digital assets hit $2.2 billion inflows

According to CoinShares, total inflows into the crypto investment products market reached $2.2 billion last week, the largest mark since July 2024. Total assets under management has jumped to near $100 billion, the digital assets investment firm said in a weekly report published on Oct. 21.

Key to the surge in interest in cryptocurrencies is the increased bet on a possible Donald Trump victory in the US elections set for Nov. 5.

“We believe this renewed optimism stems from growing expectations of a Republican victory in the upcoming US elections, as they are generally viewed as more supportive of digital assets. This, in turn, has led to positive price momentum,” CoinShares wrote in a blog post.

With the Republican candidate viewed as crypto-friendly, Bitcoin has surged to near $70k and could explode higher. Optimism helped pull over $2.1 billion into Bitcoin exchange-traded products amid a 30% spike in trading volumes.

Altcoins gain amid ETP inflows

As CoinShares data shows, there were also notable inflows into altcoins. Ethereum, whose price touched $2,763 on Monday, recorded $58 million in inflows into Ether ETPs last week.

Solana’s price, on the other hand, jumped to near $170 and saw $2.4 million in inflows. Meanwhile, Litecoin attracted $1.7 million and XRP $0.7 million as respective prices also rose.

With the price outlook for these alts positive, its likely continued bullish sentiment will pull other altcoins higher. In this category could be leading meme coins within the Solana ecosystem, one of which is recently launched Poodlana (POODL).

Poodlana price holds key level

Poodlana is a luxury-fashion and poodle dog inspired meme coin that went live on exchanges on Aug. 16 after a quickfire 30-day presale. Gate.io, MEXC and Raydium all list POODL, while the community wish list includes the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance.

The POODL price has struggled for upside momentum since its trading debut. However, bulls have managed to hold above $0.00. It suggests that a flip in overall trajectory for cryptocurrencies could offer Poodlana the tailwinds it needs to skyrocket.

Similar trends were observed with coins such as Popcat, Pepe and dogwifhat – an initial dip followed major gains before prices exploded again.

POODL looks set for its own surge.

Likely to play a huge role is the Poodlana community that’s expanded rapidly since the token’s viral entry in the market. Asia, where the poodle is a top dog breed, leads this growth metric.

Blockchain.com executives face court for submitting company records late

  • Nicolas Cary and Al Turnball received a summons from Companies House in May
  • Blockchain.com blamed the late filing on a restructuring of the company and a “significant reduction in the wider group’s workforce”
  • The company filed business accounts for the year ending 2020 in October

London-based Blockchain.com is facing prosecution after two senior executives failed to submit company records on time.

The Telegraph reported that Nicolas Cary, Blockchain.com’s co-founder and president, and operations executive Al Turnball received a summons by Companies House in May.

According to the report, Blockchain.com only filed its business accounts in October for the year ending 2020. However, the legal claims focus is on the company’s delayed filing of accounts for the year ending December 2022.

Blockchain.com blamed the late filing on a restructuring of the company and a “significant reduction in the wider group’s workforce,” which the company said has taken time to stablize.

In its 2020 accounts, Blockchain.com said it had hired legal advisors and was preparing to defend the charges against it.

The case was heard at Cardiff Magistrates Court on September 25 and another hearing is expected on November 26.

A spokesperson for Blockchain.com said:

“Blockchain.com takes seriously our compliance with license and regulatory requirements around the world. We have sorted all necessary documents related to this entirely administrative matter, and are confident it will be closed quickly.”

Established in 2011 by co-founder Peter Smith and Nicolas Cary, Blockchain.com has 37 million verified users, serves more than 200 countries, has over 89 million wallets, and has processed more than $1 trillion worth of transactions. Some of its investors include Baille Gifford, DST Global, and Google Ventures.

APE price surges after Yuga Labs launches ApeChain

  • APE price reached highs last seen in April, surging more than 15% in 24 hours to break to $1.66.
  • The ApeCoin price was up more than 100% in the past week amid news around the launch of ApeChain.

ApeCoin (APE), the governance and utility token of the ApeCoin web3 ecosystem, rose more to its highest price level since early April.

The APE token, related to the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) ecosystem, reached intraday highs of $1.66 to see its gains over the past week top 100%. ApeCoin last traded around these levels in April after Bitcoin led cryptocurrencies higher in the rally to above $73k.

Why is ApeCoin price surging?

APE’s gains came as BTC surged to above $69,300 over the weekend. However, there’s another catalyst that looked to have been at play for ApeCoin price.

That’s the launch of ApeChain, a blockchain network offering a layer-3 chain on Arbitrum One. Yuga Labs, the developer of BAYC, announced ApeChain’s debut on Oct. 20.

Horizen Labs and OffChain Labs proposed the launch of ApeChain in December 2023. Debut for the new blockchain network brings NFTs, trading and decentralised applications to APE token holders.

ApeChain bridge is also live, which means holders can transfer APE to ApeChain to earn staking yield. Support includes APE, Ether (ETH) and stablecoins. Meanwhile, integration with LayerZero on the ApeChain mainnet brings the benefits of cross-chain transfers and interoperability to the community.

The APE token traded around $1.53 at the time of writing, about 15% up in the past 24 hours. It reached its all-time of $26.70 in April 2022, which puts the current price about 94% off the all-time peak.

However, APE/USD has surged more than 215% since dropping to lows of $0.482 on August 5, 2024 when most cryptocurrencies crashed alongside BTC.

The potential ascending triangle pattern breakout could nonetheless provide bulls with new impetus.
