BingX Introduces $SLERF $BOME, $CHATAI and $SMOLE Spots Trading As Solana (SOL) Becomes Popular

Leading Crypto Exchange BingX is the First Exchange to List SLERF, BOME, CHATAI, and SMOLE


VILNIUS, LITHUANIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 March 2024 – With the rapid development of the Solana ecosystem, meme, AI and dePin tokens on Solana have recently become extremely popular. Solana tokens SLERF, BOME, CHATAI, and SMOLE have experienced rapid price surges in the short term, emerging as the hottest projects of late. In response to the growing demand from traders, BingX has swiftly listed these four tokens, becoming one of the first centralized exchanges (CEX) to do so.

Book of Meme $BOME

Book of Meme (BOME) is a cryptocurrency token built on the Solana blockchain, aiming to bridge the gap between meme culture and the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). While the token itself is relatively new, launching in March 2024, it has garnered attention for its connection to the art world through its association with graffiti master Darkfarms.

Beyond its artistic ties, BOME positions itself as a utility token within the Solana ecosystem. This means it can be used for various purposes within applications built on the Solana blockchain.

One of the intriguing aspects of Book of Meme is the focus on memes as a cultural phenomenon. Memes have become a powerful force in online communication and can be used for humor, social commentary, and even artistic expression. By creating a cryptocurrency specifically tied to memes, Book of Meme aims to acknowledge the cultural significance of memes and potentially create new avenues for meme creators and enthusiasts to engage with the digital world.

Trading of BOME has started according to the following schedule:

Spot trading for BOME USDT opens at 12:05:00 (UTC+0) on 2024-03-14

SLERF Coin

SLERF $SLERF is a cryptocurrency launched on the Solana blockchain in March 2024. It gained notoriety for its meme coin status and a highly unusual launch incident.

SLERF positioned itself as a lighthearted meme coin, capitalizing on the popularity of animal-themed tokens within the Solana ecosystem. Beyond the sloth mascot, however, there wasn’t a clearly defined purpose or roadmap for the project. This lack of utility is typical of many meme coins, where value is derived primarily from speculation and community enthusiasm.

Trading of SLERF has started according to the following schedule:

Spot trading for SLERF USDT opens at 09:50:00 (UTC+0) on 2024-03-18

Smolecoin $SMOLE

Smolecoin is a meme coin on the Solana blockchain, based on the “smole” character, which is derived from an animal – the mole. In the first series of the project, traders can their your own pixel rare mole collectible cards and mint them with $smole. This meme coin positions itself as the “smollest smolecoin” within the “smolana smolnet,” a playful nod to the larger cryptocurrency space and its various networks.

Trading of Smolecoin has started according to the following schedule:

Spot trading for SMOLE USDT opens at 10:00:00 (UTC+0) on 2024-03-21

ChatAi Token $CHATAI

ChatAi emerges as a groundbreaking platform, wielding the power of AI to craft profoundly personal and deeply engaging social interactions. Imagine a world where countless versions of yourself can be forged, each boasting a distinct personality, appearance, and voice. These AI-powered avatars can delve into conversations on any subject, fostering meaningful connections with loved ones, acquaintances, or one’s most admired celebrities.

Trading of CHATAI will start according to the following schedule:

Spot trading for CHATAI USDT opens at 10:00:00 (UTC+0) on 2024-03-23

“We are thrilled to offer our users the opportunity to trade these popular tokens,” said Jason, Researcher at BingX QA. “As one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, BingX is dedicated to providing a diverse range of assets and supporting the growth of innovative projects within the Solana ecosystem.”

Traders can now access SLERF, BOME, CHATAI, and SMOLE on BingX and take advantage of the platform’s advanced trading features and liquidity.

QIC shares insights in Europe on the significant opportunities in decarbonisation and decentralisation


BERLIN, GERMANY – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 March 2024 – Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC) this week participated in the annual Infrastructure Investor Global Summit which took place in Berlin from 18-21 March 2024. A large contingent from QIC’s London, New York and Australian offices were in attendance for what is the largest infrastructure investment gathering annually.

Kirsten Whitehead, Partner, QIC Infrastructure spoke on the opening keynote panel “Embracing Infrastructure’s Key Strengths in a Challenging Environment” which focused on finding relative value, the importance of partnerships, value preservation and value creation.

She described the need to bolster asset resilience to climate risk as not just prudent but ‘pivotal’ for sustainable progress, and emphasised Australia’s compelling energy transition landscape.

“Australia is an attractive infrastructure investment destination with a stable and open economy, rich in critical minerals, good trade ties, and a pipeline of attractive infrastructure investment opportunities,” said Ms Whitehead. “With portfolio companies including some of Australia’s leading renewable energy and sustainable off grid power solutions businesses, we have an important role to play in Australia’s energy transition which will need to be delivered through a decentralised solution.”

On the panel, Ms Whitehead also mentioned that significant opportunities lie in the intersection between decarbonisation and other key thematics such as decentralisation and digitisation. “When considering these opportunities in an Australian context, they converge to shape an enormous opportunity set.”

Arash Shojaie, Senior Principal, QIC Infrastructure also shared insights on a panel called “Investing in Energy: Opportunities in Infrastructure created by the Transition” which covered macro impacts such as deglobalisation on the energy transition agenda and decarbonising the economy beyond just renewables.

“Advances in renewable energy and storage technologies have led to an evolution of the electricity ecosystem with a range of investment opportunities from renewable energy generation to transmission, ancillary infrastructure services, storage, distribution, consumer needs, electric transport and more,” said Mr Shojaie on the panel. “The primary challenge is how we combine and sequence the available technologies and applications that enable the energy transition; and how policy makers and capital allocators bring these elements together.”

Other topics that arose during the summit included funding the energy transition. As companies and governments around the world set ambitious targets for carbon reduction, one of the main hurdles to achieving these goals is securing financing. For this reason, the global shift to renewable energy is one of the most important themes driving new deal flow for QIC’s direct infrastructure lending programme.

In addition, the relative value of junior infrastructure debt is currently attractive given its performance in the macro environment and the considerable level of transaction activity occurring across refinancing, growth capex requirements and M&A activities.

QIC deploys a thematic infrastructure investment strategy, focusing on the key themes of decarbonisation, deglobalisation, decentralisation and an ageing population. Its sector-centric investment focus is on Energy and Utilities, Transport and Social and Healthcare.

Forex trading robots: everything traders need to know about automatic trading systems – Octa

There are different types of traders in the Forex market, and each has its own way of working. However, all traders can be divided into two groups: those who prefer to trade manually and those who stick to automated trading and use trading robots. In this article, Octa discusses Forex trading robots, also called Expert Advisors, and automated trading.


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 March 2024 – Trading robots are automatic trading systems that, based on a certain algorithm, independently manage the trader’s financial flows. An automated trading program or script is not subject to ordinary human weaknesses—it doesn’t need to eat, sleep, or spend time with its loved ones. The trading robot can analyse the situation around the clock during the entire market operation hours, choose the most convenient moments for transactions, control the account balance, and monitor the execution of orders. Practice shows that using Forex trading robots greatly simplifies and automates the trader’s activity.

Octa

History and types of trading robot creation

  • First generation. The prototypes of modern trading robots appeared in the late 60s and early 70s of the last century. These semi-automatic systems were based on long-term trend-tracking strategies, with sharp changes in quotes serving as a signal. They signalled traders about changes in the market, and the traders made their own decisions on what to do in this situation.
  • The second generation. In the early 70s, new robots based on statistical algorithms appeared. The first was ‘momentum, ‘ which monitored the oversold market using various indicators. Another one was ‘reversal systems’, which detected deviations of the traded asset from its average value for a specified period and calculated the moments when the probability of quotes returning to the average would be higher than 50%.
  • The third generation of robots relied not so much on digital price and time data as on a data set—they identified which patterns were present in the market and signalled when the pattern changed, not the trend.

Algorithms have been improving evenly with the technological progress of society. Thus, high-frequency robots (HFT robots) appeared with the growth of internet connection speed, which can make thousands of transactions per second. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, there is no need to write an extended code—AI has taken this function over. Machine learning (ML) technology will help create a trading algorithm by observing the trader’s actions.

How to choose a trading robot
The actual efficiency of a trading robot directly depends on what algorithm it is guided by. A certain algorithm often brings solid profit for a long time, and then, due to certain market mechanisms, it starts to operate at a loss. Therefore, to make money on Forex, you need to be able to not only install and run the program but also understand the relevance of its working methods. During the selection process, it is necessary to study the essential information and parameters that directly affect the profitability of automated trading.

  • Frequency of transactions. Suppose your broker has commissions for opening and closing positions. In that case, the number of operations the robot performs is important because the more orders you open, the more commissions you will have to pay. For example, the Octa broker has no commissions for entering or exiting a position. The trading robot can open as many orders as the trading signals it receives without commission issues, as Octa only considers the spread.
  • Risk-reward ratio. A Forex robot should be profitable, but what exactly do you mean by this concept? For you, how much profit is profit? After all, it is one thing if you are satisfied with an income of $50–70 per week and another if you want to earn $100 daily. The higher the expectations, the greater the risk degree. Some robots are designed for trading with conservative strategies, which are the least risky but do not promise a significant income. Other robots are suitable for aggressive trading, where large drawdowns are allowed in the expectation of large profits.
  • Trading conditions. No universal trading robots would trade with absolutely the same efficiency in any market conditions. Some robots are designed for trend trading, and some show good results only when trading during flat periods. As a rule, the description of each Forex robot tells you what type it belongs to. If you don’t know what is better—trend trading or channel breakout, then pay attention to the currency pairs you want to trade. Some pairs tend to form clear and relatively stable trends, while others are more likely to move in sideways channels.
  • Sustainability. All automated Forex trading systems need to be tested. To understand how stable the Expert Advisor works, it is unnecessary to use it immediately on a real trading account—you can choose a demo one for testing. For example, Octa’s trading conditions on real and demo accounts are identical, which allows you to test the robot in situations as close to the real market as possible.

Why do you need trading robots in the first place? To make money, of course. Robots do not tire and can trade 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Trading robots today can be bought or downloaded for free. The main thing is to evaluate your purchase adequately. For beginners, a trading robot can become a teacher in currency operations, and for a professional—working hands that implement the necessary trading strategy.

Prudential customers are the first to enjoy online nomination of beneficiary service using Sign with Singpass

The online service which leverages Singpass’ digital signing service makes it easier for policyholders to complete their nominations


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 March 2024 – Starting from 15 March 2024, Prudential Singapore (“Prudential”) policyholders are able to nominate their beneficiaries online. Prudential is the first insurer in Singapore to roll out an online nomination of beneficiaries (“online NOB”) service using Sign with Singpass, which makes it easy and more convenient for policyholders to nominate their beneficiaries.

Previously, Prudential policyholders had to submit a hard copy of their nomination forms to Prudential via post or in person at the customer service centre. With online NOB, they now have the option to submit their nomination forms and electronic signatures online.

Beneficiary nomination is crucial in ensuring that the intended recipients receive the policy benefits according to the policyholder’s wishes. While it is not compulsory to make a nomination, doing so will allow beneficiaries to receive the payout without any unnecessary delays or potential conflicts.

This online nomination service leverages Sign with Singpass[1] and generates Secure Electronic Signatures (SES)[2]. These signatures can be verified and traced back to the signer, which confirms the authenticity and integrity of the signed documents. Sign with Singpass is a product developed by Government Technology Agency (GovTech) Singapore.

Online NOB was introduced following the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) announcement in July 2023 that amendments had been made to the Insurance (Nomination of Beneficiaries) Regulations 2009, to enable insurers to provide online nomination of insurance beneficiaries from 2 January 2024.[3]

Mr Vikas Sinha, Chief Operations Officer, Prudential Singapore, said: “With online NOB, we wanted to make it simple, convenient and secure for our policyholders to take the important step of completing their beneficiary nomination. This helps prevent any potential delays or disputes in distributing the policy proceeds and gives customers greater peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are cared for in the future.”

How online Nomination Of Beneficiaries works
Prudential policyholders will need to:

  1. Log in to PRUaccess, the company’s online customer portal, to initiate an online nomination for their selected policy.[4]
  2. Provide details of their nominees and two attestors.
  3. Perform digital signing via Sign with Singpass. Appointed attestors will receive an email notification to make their online declarations.
  4. Submit the nomination.

The nomination will then be processed by Prudential and the policyholder will be notified on the status of the nomination.

Quote from a Prudential policyholder

Ms Yeo Sook Kuan, 38 years old.

“I have been putting off the nomination of beneficiaries for my insurance policies as filling out paper forms and getting someone to witness the signing in person is really a hassle. Now that we can do it online, it makes it so much easier for everyone, and it saves me a lot of time and effort.”


[1] Policyholders are reminded to remain vigilant when performing digital transactions with Singpass. This includes checking that the domain of the Singpass login page is “singpass.gov.sg”, as well as to avoid sharing their Singpass credentials (e.g. Singpass ID, password) with others.

[2] Secure Electronic Signatures (SES) are governed by Singapore’s Electronic Transaction Act.

[4] Online NOB is only available for revocable nominations.
