Drake eases by Stetson 49-10 to secure a second straight outright Pioneer Football League title
Share Tweet Share Share Email You’ll never believe this based on their recent price action, but Stellar ( XLM) and Litecoin ( LTC) were once mainstays among the top 20 crypto leaders by market capitalization. But that was a good seven years ago—back when Stellar and Litecoin’s price action were at all-time highs. Fast forward to today, and Stellar and Litecoin have fallen precipitously out of the top 20 crypto list, remaining but mere shadows of their former selves even as the market turns bullish. The prognosis is better for innovative newcomers with unlimited upside to pump—one of which is multichain DeFi protocol Lunex Network . Interest in Lunex presale moons amid bullish market sentiment DeFi is being tipped for a major comeback in 2025. That makes investing in undervalued gems with significant potential to capture the incoming liquidity explosion in the sector the big-brained play. One of those opportunities appears to have arrived with the launch of the cross-chain DeFi protocol Lunex Network , which aims to solve the interoperability hurdle that has hampered the wider adoption of blockchain technology. Through the self-custodial Lunex Wallet, users will be able to swap and trade 50,000 tokens across 40 blockchains, reducing the friction involved with having to manually perform the tedious task of connecting your wallet to a potentially vulnerable bridge and wrap your tokens to trade them on the blockchain of your choice. With Lunex Network, every aspect of managing your portfolio—staking, swapping, and interacting with Web3 protocols—is at your fingertips. Through its ability to streamline the Web3 and DeFi user experience, Lunex Network could be in line to play a role in onboarding new users. In turn, that could translate to a parabolic pump for its native token, $LNEX, in 2025. Given its low cap status, Lunex can very well outperform big caps in the list of top 20 crypto tokens by market cap, making it an intriguing play for big game hunters. Can Litecoin price break into the top 20 crypto by market cap? Litecoin hasn’t been “right” since Bitcoin minted its historic all-time high in 2021. Prior to Bitcoin’s first “moon,” Litecoin prices had generally followed the same chart as Bitcoin. Since then, however, Litecoin prices have diverged, leading to a sensational crash. That makes a retest of its 2021 all-time high of $410 look unlikely. Nevertheless, Litecoin ‘s utility for online payments has kept it hovering within earshot of the top 20 crypto list, even as it remains 79% below its all-time high. Stellar picks up the pace in November Stellar is another blast from the past that’s trying to make a comeback in 2024. Once written off as a relic of a bygone era, Stellar defied expectations by enabling smart contracts on its blockchain earlier this year. That has seemed to strike a chord with the investing public. In the past 30 days, Stellar has been on a blistering 150% gain, outpacing even Bitcoin in terms of monthly growth. Between Stellar and Litecoin , the former has more going for it to break into the top 20 crypto list. However, if we’re talking about potential gains, Lunex Network has the higher upside to go on a parabolic run compared to Stellar and Litecoin—making it the best choice for investors looking to make a profit with a small-cap blue chip.

DELAND, Fla. (AP) — Luke Bailey threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns with only five incompletions and Drake eased by Stetson 49-10 on Saturday to secure a second straight outright Pioneer Football League title. Davion Cherwin rushed for 161 yards on 11 carries and scored two times for Drake. Jun Ahn and Luke Woodson also had rushing scores. Cherwin scored a 91-yard touchdown, the longest run in the PFL this season, to make it 21-7 early in the second quarter. Kemani Wilson made a diving interception at the Drake 25-yard line with just over two minutes left in the first half and seven plays later, Bailey found Hunter Johnson for a 24-yard touchdown to make it 28-10 at halftime. Drake defensive lineman Finn Claypool forced a fumble on the third play of the second half and his teammate recovered it. Then Bailey lofted a pass to Jaxon Laminack for a touchdown and a 35-10 lead. Drake (8-2, 7-1) was coming off a 29-20 loss to Morehead State to end a 17-game PFL winning streak — the longest active conference winning streak in the FCS. Stetson (2-9, 0-7) quarterback Brady Meitz was intercepted three times and Matt O’Connor had one of his four pass attempts intercepted.

The world's largest cryptocurrency was last up 3% at $101,000. Since Trump's win on November 5, the price has surged around 45%, driven by a swathe of buying that has poured capital into U.S. bitcoin-backed exchange-traded funds.

The figure not that long ago dismissed as fantasy, stands as a reality. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories "Institutional adoption is evident, as seen by the increased volume on the CME, ETFs (exchange traded funds), and derivatives markets during U.S. hours. Essentially, funds now need to either get involved or risk standing on the sidelines while more gutsy competitors potentially outperform." Bobby Ong, cofounder, Coingecko, Kuala Lumpur: "Bitcoin reaching the $100,000 milestone marks a significant moment for the cryptocurrency market , reflecting its growing maturity and mainstream adoption. "The psychological importance of $100,000 is also attracting new investors and driving market sentiment. This rally demonstrates Bitcoin's position as a leading financial innovation, solidifying its reputation as a digital store of value and a hedge against traditional economic uncertainties. "It also underscores the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate asset class." Shane Oliver, chief economist and head of investment strategy, AMP, Sydney: "As time goes by it's proving itself as part of the financial landscape, slotting in more as a store of value as opposed to a regular asset you can value on the basis of things it produces, like shares. Ray Attrill, head of Fx Research "It's the ultimate speculative asset, isn't it. "I wasn't surprised ... it was probably the cleanest 'Trump trade'. Just from a regulatory point of view and the concept of a much more easily traded asset, it's justified its run up, though it's now taken on a life of its own. "The test will be if we do have a big puke in risk sentiment at some point, and we start to see a major stock market correction. Where does crypto sit in that? I don't know the answer." RICHARD TENG, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, BINANCE, DUBAI: "Almost 16 years since its first block was mined in 2009, bitcoin has reached the landmark milestone of $100K per coin, placing the asset at a total market capitalisation of $2.1 trillion. "This also places bitcoin firmly on the very short list of just seven assets or companies that have achieved more than 2 trillion dollars in market capitalisation, the rest being gold and tech giants NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), and Amazon. "With talks of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin reserve and more companies adding bitcoin to their corporate treasuries, we are on the precipice of true mainstream global adoption." Jean-Baptiste Graftieaux , CEO, Bitstamp, Luxembourg: "Bitcoin reaching $100,000 is a watershed moment, highlighting its resilience after a challenging few years. Despite shifts in the political and regulatory landscape, bitcoin has proven its staying power. "This milestone reflects the growing maturity of the crypto market, as traditional financial institutions and retail customers increasingly embrace digital assets. Looking ahead, we anticipate broader integration of crypto into retail, professional and institutional holdings and pensions, coupled with a more diverse range of trading services and instruments, mirroring the evolution of traditional finance."
President Javier Milei has said that the Senate session in which Edgardo Kueider was expelled over corruption allegations was void because his vice, Victoria Villarruel, led the session while acting as president of the nation. Milei traveled to Italy on Thursday, leaving Villarruel as acting president, but she has responded publicly that she was not formally transferred the presidential power until after the session had ended. The episode underscores the increasingly public rift between the president and his second-in-command. “The session is invalid,” Milei said on Friday during an interview with Luis Majul on radio station El Observador. On Thursday, the Upper House voted to expel Senator Edgardo Kueider from Congress after he was arrested in Paraguay with over US$200,000 of undeclared cash while crossing the border from Brazil. Kueider was a Peronist lawmaker, but voted for Milei’s flagship bill, the Ley Bases. Like Milei, his lawyer said the session was null and filed a writ for Kueider to be reinstated. In Argentina, the Vice President is also head of the senate. However, Milei argued that Villarruel should not have presided over the session because he was in Rome and she should have been the acting president, not the head of the Senate. Milei said that, according to current legislation, the vice president “automatically” acts as president if the president travels overseas. That role is then occupied by the provisional spokesperson of the Senate, who is currently Bartolomé Abdala. “If she presides over the session of the Congress, she is working in the Legislative Branch, but at the same time, she is the acting president of the nation [...,] she is occupying two positions, and that violates the separation of powers,” he said. Villarruel responded that the temporary transfer of power did not take effect until it had been formally signed off. “Until the power of attorney [to be President] is transferred to me, I am vice president. And that is done through the presidency’s notary. I signed the minutes giving my consent at 7:00 p.m.,” Villarruel wrote, answering a comment on her Instagram account. Screenshots of what appears to be a chat with Villarruel’s secretary were published by various news websites. They show a conversation timestamped 8:36 a.m. on Tuesday, stating the president’s time of departure and arrival. The secretary responds “OK” to the messages. The chats also show a letter notifying Villarruel of Milei’s trip through the Electronic Document Management System (GDE, by its Spanish acronym), which stores all proceedings and files within the public administration. Milei mentioned the letter in his interview. A spokesperson for Villarruel told the Herald that Villarruel was not aware of the trip, that the Legislative Branch does not use the GDE, and that the vice president does not have a username for the system in the Senate building. Milei’s trip to Italy, although not his departure time, had been reported by media including the Herald over a week before he departed. The relationship between Milei and Villarruel has been strained for months, with the president calling her part of the “caste” and leaving her off the guestlist for government events. She was not present for Milei’s first anniversary speech celebrating one year in power. “I would have loved to be there,” Villarruel wrote in a comment on her Instagram account. Villarruel lamented that Kueider was expelled from the Congress, implying that she does not consider him a member of the Peronist bloc. Since Kueider entered Congress on a Peronist ticket, his seat will now be granted to Stefania Cora, who is associated with Maximo Kirchner’s organization La Cámpora. “We are going to work until our last breath so that the [Kirchners] no longer manage the designs of our country,” Villarruel wrote on X. Meanwhile, Kueider is currently being investigated in Paraguay for attempted smuggling. Peronist senator Oscar Parrilli, social democrat deputy Margarita Stolbizer, and left-wing former deputy Myriam Bregman have suggested that Kueider was smuggling money from a government bribe to vote for the Ley Bases. Investigators have not reached any formal conclusions about the origin of the funds. Bregman’s party, the Party of the Socialist Workers (PTS) demanded that the Ley Bases be declared void. The vote on the controversial bill was tied in Argentina’s senate, with Villarruel casting the deciding vote in favor of the government.
