1. Virtuals market cap exceeds 3 billion dollars; what other participation opportunities exist within the ecosystem?

With the gradual clarification of U.S. regulations on virtual currency, DeFi has also become one of the main themes of this bull market.

However, the emergence of aipool for presales, preventing rug pulls, and guarding against MEV is an upgrade to the current DeFi experience, isn't it? Without going too far, let's talk about the significant benefits that are right in front of us. Click to read
2025 is the time to seriously understand cryptocurrency

On the big screen, in addition to the familiar Dow Jones Index and NASDAQ Index, the price chart of Bitcoin is fluctuating in real-time.
