GM abandons robotaxi operations derailed by accidentNone
Two of the league’s young quarterbacks looking to prove themselves meet Sunday afternoon in Foxborough as Anthony Richardson and the Colts (5-7) take on Drake Maye and the Patriots (3-9). The 2nd-year pro out of Florida, Richardson was benched earlier this season for a couple games before returning in impressive fashion completing 20 of 30 passes, throwing for 272 yards, and most importantly, leading the Colts to a 28-27 win over the Jets. However, Richardson was less than good last weekend against the Lions completing just 11 of 28 passes for 172 yards in a 24-6 loss to Detroit. Like Richardson in Indy, Drake Maye has had his ups and downs this season. The rookie out of North Carolina was also good two weeks ago in a 28-22 loss to the Rams completing 75% of his passes and throwing for 282 yards. However, the rookie out of North Carolina struggled last weekend. Like Richardson, accuracy has been a recurring issue for the young signal-caller. He completed just 22 of 37 passes at Miami in a loss to the Dolphins. Both Indianapolis and New England have much invested in these two young quarterbacks. It will be interesting to see if either show progress this weekend in the Northeast.

Now, the question arises: which high-return cryptocurrency could repeat this performance over the next four years? Two contenders catching attention are Shiba Inu, riding on its ecosystem expansion, and Rexas Finance (RXS) , a newcomer disrupting real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Shiba Inu: Sustained Growth Fueled by Burn Rates and Adoption Shiba Inu’s price has surged by over 150% since August, trading at $0.00002735 as of November 23, 2024. This growth comes alongside a rising burn rate, which spiked by over 49,000% recently, with millions of SHIB tokens removed from circulation daily. Reduced supply continues to support price appreciation, creating scarcity in the market. HOURLY SHIB UPDATE $SHIB Price: $0.00002501 (1hr 2.33% ▲ | 24hr 2.63% ▲ ) Market Cap: $14,746,571,219 (3.14% ▲) Total Supply: 589,262,162,823,605 TOKENS BURNT Past 24Hrs: 175,311,356 (49646% ▲) Past 7 Days: 195,050,744 (-69.49% ▼) Shiba Inu’s adoption is also increasing with the development of its Layer 2 blockchain, Shibarium, which powers decentralized finance (DeFi) and dApps. These advancements enhance SHIB’s utility, drawing both institutional and retail investors. Analysts anticipate further bullish momentum, citing chart patterns like the bull flag and cup-and-handle, both of which suggest potential price breakouts. The RXS Presale: A Promising Opportunity Rexas Finance has generated immense investor interest during its presale, with $13.8 million raised across multiple stages. Starting at $0.03, the token is now priced at $0.09 in its seventh stage, with a projected listing price of $0.20. ⭐️ Milestone Alert! ⭐️ Rexas Finance has successfully raised $13.8 Million! 🚀 Thank you for your support! 👍 Buy Now: https://t.co/tNJAsvAL8G #rexas $RXS #rexasfinance #crypto pic.twitter.com/Sq4TdWwQfE This structure provides early investors with substantial returns before the token even reaches exchanges. By focusing on real-world applications and scalability, RXS sets itself apart from speculative projects. Its utility-driven model positions it for sustained growth in the 2025 crypto bull run. Rexas Finance: A Pioneer in Tokenizing Real-World Assets Rexas Finance (RXS) is unique with its emphasis on tokenizing real-world assets (RWA). With the help of RXS users are able to tokenize and trade assets such as real estate or commodities; cases that often are not explored by meme coins. Through blockchain technology, the project aspires to democratize asset ownership, to provide liquidity and accessibility to ‘illiquid’ investments. Growing investor interest has been evident in the RXS presale, which has raised over $13.8 million. The token has already yielded substantial returns to early participants: $0.03 to $0.09. RXS has also been scheduled for listing on Tier 1 exchanges and has received a Certik audit which adds to buyer confidence in its security and reliability. Comparing SHIB and RXS: High ROI Potential The long history of Shiba Inu speaks volumes to the beauty of meme coins and their ability to deliver life-changing returns. And its dedicated community and ecosystem expansions, like Shibarium, burning mechanisms, make it a strong presence in the crypto market. But cautious investors caution us that its volatility will be an issue. Unlike the other side, Rexas Finance makes use of a more functional as well. RXS has a sustainable opportunity to grow by tapping into the $16 trillion RWA market by 2030. Such as Rexas Token Builder and Launchpad, which offer it appealing to retail and institutional investors alike.

NoneUS auto giant General Motors announced Tuesday it will abandon its robotaxi development efforts after a highly publicized incident last year stymied its progress in the autonomous vehicle field. The Detroit-based manufacturer plans to merge the Cruise robotaxi vehicle unit with GM's technical teams to concentrate on developing advanced driver assistance systems for personal vehicles, a statement said. The company said it abandoned the Cruise project "given the considerable time and resources that would be needed to scale the business, along with an increasingly competitive robotaxi market." It marks a major turnaround for GM, which bought the Cruise startup in 2016 and has since spent billions of dollars to make the operation viable. "A robotaxi business is not General Motors’ core business," said GM CEO Mary Barra in a call with analysts. But Barra said GM's commitment to autonomous technology "is unwavering." The halt of operations comes a year after Cruise was forced to suspend all operations in San Francisco after one of its self-driving cars dragged a woman who had first been hit by a hit-and-run driver in the city. Cruise lost its operating permits from regulators, paused expansions into other states and laid off 900 employees -- a quarter of its workforce. Shortly before the incident, California authorities had allowed for expanded driverless taxi services in San Francisco, giving the go-ahead for Alphabet-owned Waymo and Cruise. Cruise's exit confirms Waymo as the dominant player in the business, which was valued at $45 billion after a fundraising round in October, according to Bloomberg. The company has been expanding its reach and currently runs robotaxi fleets in San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles. And in a team-up with Uber, the company is planning to offer Waymo robotaxi rides in Atlanta and Austin. Amazon's Zoox meanwhile is conducting robotaxi testing in California and Las Vegas, while Elon Musk recently unveiled what he said was a robotaxi capable of self-driving, predicting it would be available by 2027. GM's strategic pivot comes as embattled automakers worldwide face mounting pressure to balance investments in emerging technologies with near-term profitability. The auto giant said that the restructuring is expected to generate annual savings exceeding $1 billion once completed in the first half of 2025. GM's share price was up by more than three percent in after hours trading on Wall Street. arp/dw
