Investors have only 24 hours left to buy $SEAL at a low price and seize the chance to profit from the hottest crypto presale of 2024.
After the ICO, Sealana (SEAL) will be listed on exchanges, and investors will receive the token through an airdrop.
With time running out, investors are rushing to get in on what could be the next big thing in the meme coin world.
Why now is the perfect time to invest in Sealana (SEAL)?
If you’ve been following the crypto market, you may have observed its recent volatility. Bitcoin, the market leader, has declined by 9% this month, while Dogecoin, the leading meme coin, has seen a 12% drop.
Meme coins, including tokens like dogwifhat, are slow to recover, reflecting broader market trends. However, with Ethereum ETF launches rumored to be two weeks away, traders are hopeful for the start of a new altcoin season.
During an altcoin season, prices of alternative cryptocurrencies tend to outperform Bitcoin, marking the most profitable phase of a crypto bull market. Given the recent downturn in meme coins, there’s considerable speculation that they could experience equally sharp recoveries in the weeks ahead.
This might be the perfect time to accumulate as many tokens as possible. Investors should dollar-cost average (DCA) into their favorite coins. Currently, it seems that the market is at a phase where money will flow into altcoins.
Typically, the pattern follows three phases: In phase one, Bitcoin performs well. In phase two, major altcoins do well. In phase three, minor altcoins start showing explosive growth. Right now, meme coins and small tokens with strong fundamentals are poised to do well.
This is great news for Sealana, which will launch on exchanges as prices begin to recover. With its huge presale success, entertaining meme game, and strong backing from analysts, $SEAL is poised for success.
Investors interested in its current fixed price of $0.022 with only one day left in the presale should take prompt action. You can explore the potential future value of Sealana by checking out our $SEAL price prediction.
Could Sealana be the top meme coin investment of 2024?
Investors have a limited time to participate in Sealana’s (SEAL) presale, which concludes in one day on June 25 at 6 PM UTC after raising over $5 million. Since its inception, Sealana has garnered significant attention and success in its presale, evident from its active presence on social media platforms.
Initially launched on the Solana network, Sealana recently expanded to Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain. During the presale, investors can purchase $SEAL using SOL, ETH, BNB, USDT, and bank cards.
Post-presale, Sealana will list on exchanges, and tokens will be airdropped to investors. Potential investors can learn more about acquiring Sealana tokens through our guide on how to buy Sealana tokens here.
Despite recent volatility in the crypto market, Sealana has thrived during its presale phase. With its endearing chubby seal mascot and engaging social media strategies, the project has captured the hearts of many despite challenging market conditions.
The Sealana website humorously portrays Sealana’s fictional life: residing in his mom’s basement, trading meme coins, and indulging in junk food in pursuit of wealth, a narrative resonating with degenerate traders in the crypto community.
Sealana distinguishes itself with an edgy meme game that rivals other meme coins, contributing significantly to its presale success and generating substantial buzz across social media platforms.
Curiosity got the best of #Sealana 🤦🦭 Using his Navy $SEAL training, he sneaked into #Area51 and got captured by some Aliens!👽🛸 Seems like they’re also into Lambos🏎️, Massive Gains💰 just maybe not the Freedom bit! 🇺🇸
Send $SOL to rescue Sealana before the #Presale ends! 🔜 pic.twitter.com/p5JdkjmmRv
— Sealana (@Sealana_Token) June 20, 2024
Unlike recent meme coin launches focusing on utility, Sealana adopts a purely memetic approach akin to dogwifhat, Pepe, and Dogecoin, which poses challenges in a competitive market. Nonetheless, Sealana’s successful presale debut underscores the effectiveness of this strategy.
Stay updated by following the project’s X account or joining its Telegram. Visit sealana.io to take part in the $SEAL token presale.

ByteDance and Broadcom are in talks to develop an AI processor for the parent company of TikTok.
The proposed deal between the Chinese firm and the US chip designer, which share an existing relationship, would effectively safeguard ByteDance’s procurement and supply chains while supporting their advances in AI development.
The manufacturing of the new chip would be outsourced to TSMC, the world’s leading supplier of advanced semiconductors, representing a crucial juncture to satisfy US concerns given the ongoing trade restrictions with China, which prohibit the export of cutting-edge components.
This compliance with the measures put in place by Washington back in 2022 means there is scope for a deal to be completed but it will still be subject to scrutiny.
Despite some deals on older semiconductor technology, the US curbs have prevented any public movement on the trading of 5nm tech or more advanced chips, but this unique agreement can be secured.
Broadcom’s existing relationship with ByteDance
At this stage of the planned ByteDance Broadcom collaboration, the US must be content that there is no significant prospect of enhancing China’s chipmaking development, given the previous actions the government has taken.
ByteDance will also be working with two major global chip makers, in what is an unusual step.
As first reported by Reuters, the collective work would be focused on the 5-nanometer chip, a dedicated product also known as an application-specific integrated chip (ASIC). No final agreement is in place, but given the existing relationship between ByteDance and Broadcom, the basis for a new project is already in place.
The US designer is heavily involved in supporting the TikTok owner’s server and network infrastructure, especially with the use of its 7nm processor. ByteDance also operates local services, Douyin and Toutiao, with the former named as China’s leading AI chatbot this year, and the latter a new aggregator “content king”.
The company has an insatiable need for power and growth, enhancing its need for advanced chips, especially for its complex algorithms. Similar steps are being taken by rival tech and social media giants such as Meta, Microsoft, and Google-parent Alphabet which are all using, or developing, their own advanced processors.
Meta is also known to be in talks with Apple on AI development, with the iPhone maker already bringing OpenAI’s ChatGPT on board for integration with its new Intelligence system.

The post FIFA touts esports partnership with Rocket League, which isn’t exactly esports soccer appeared first on ReadWrite.
One year after breaking up a two-decade relationship with EA Sports, FIFA’s rebound hookup in video games is … Rocket League?
Soccer’s global sanctioning body announced it’s teaming up with Epic Games and Psyonix’s popular automobile adaptation of The Beautiful Game under FIFA’s esports initiative. Sixteen nations will be represented in the game, and the corresponding esports competition will duke it out at some point for cash and prizes.
It’s still very speculative. Right now, FIFA is just asking fans which countries should feature in this leg of FIFA’s Esports World Cup. Elsewhere, FIFA is looking to stock a real competition field “based on the number of representatives from each country in previous Rocket League Majors.” No event dates, much less teams nor their seeding, have been set yet.
“This milestone partnership highlights our commitment to evolve our football esports ecosystem,” FIFA said in a statement “and continue to build the biggest stages for all communities to fame their game.”
Very well, but not only is this not a real soccer competition, it’s a video game wherein miniature, radio-controlled cars are playing the soccer. That’s a far cry from the kind of tournaments FIFA would run in partnership with Electronic Arts before those two broke up last year.
Last year, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the soccer body remained committed to the video game space, and in February, rumors began spreading that 2K Sports, makers of the NBA 2K series, were next in line to make a FIFA-licensed video game.
What that would look like is anyone’s guess. The reason EA Sports could walk away from FIFA and do its own thing is because FIFA’s license was literally only that — a license to use FIFA’s name and marks. Yes, that that includes rights to the World Cup and the Women’s World Cup, but those are quadrennial tournaments most recently staged in 2022 and 2023.
The parts of the series that really drove immersion, from the English Premier League to the national teams for Euro 2024 and even the Ballon d’Or, are licenses FIFA does not control.
Moreover, looking at Konami’s struggles with challenger eFootball/Pro Evolution Soccer, and the overwhelming licensing advantage that EA Sports FC has held over that series for more than a decade, shows that anything resembling a fully featured, licensed soccer video game depends on well more than FIFA’s nameplate.
How is EA Sports’ football game doing without FIFA?
Electronic Arts in January revealed that while “net bookings” — as in the revenue that the company sees from open-ended cash-cow modes like Ultimate Team — increased slightly, actual unit sales of EA Sports FC 24 were down from what they were the preceding year. Naturally, they’re comparing those figures to the sales of a FIFA-branded title in a World Cup year, so they were likely to dip anyway. And either way, the franchise still makes money hand over fist.
In any case, you’re still talking about a game that approximates humans playing football, not automobiles.
Whether the team-up with Rocket League really is a “groundbreaking partnership” as FIFA calls it, or just a tide-me-over until World Cup 2026 forces EA Sports and FIFA back together, remains to be seen.

UK video game retailer GAME has denied claims that it will stop selling physical video games and gaming hardware at its stores.
There was confusion and shock this morning as reports stated the UK’s largest physical video game retailer GAME (owned by Frasers Group) would soon stop selling physical games.
Gfinity eSports reported today (24 June) that insiders claimed that shortly, physical gaming hardware and software will only be available as preorders, with home delivery incurring an extra fee.
These reports seem to be incorrect, however. GAME has since categorically denied the claims in statements to various outlets.
In a statement to Eurogamer, a GAME spokesperson said, “This reporting is categorically not true. GAME continues to support the physical gaming market, offering a wide range of physical games, hardware, software, accessories and digital gift cards, in stores and online.”
The online response to the initial report confirms that there is still a market for a physical game store. “It’s all a bit sad, really. Like music, just downloading games makes it easier than ever, but it feels less fun,” said one Reddit user.
Other users reminisced about their fond memories of purchasing new games. “Yeah the feeling when you went out to town to pick up a new game and then you’d read the manual on the way home, felt so exciting,” said another Reddit poster.
GAME’s troubled recent history
Due to the popularity and proliferation of digital gaming marketplaces like Steam and Epic Games, and subscription services like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass, GAME has had to diversify its offerings to stay relevant in recent years, expanding into toys, merchandise, and board games.
After unsuccessfully managing to keep competitive alongside CeX and eBay, GAME discontinued pre-owned games and trade-ins earlier this year. They are also discontinuing their reward scheme, GAME Elite.
However, their strong refutation combined with disappointment from fans online upon hearing the news suggests that they will continue to serve local high streets for the time being.
GAME has been contacted for comment.

Just like in the base Elden Ring game, there are bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree that provide you with a Remembrance which you can cash in for some of their gear.
However, not all bosses provide you with these, and if you just want to focus on those that reward you with the top items, you’ll probably want to speedrun straight to them.
Here, we’ll give you a list of all the Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrance bosses so you have a consolidated checklist to work off instead of one as long as your arm.
We’ll also detail what you can receive as a reward for the Remembrances so you know what’s in store for beating the bosses.
All Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrance bosses and their rewards
There are a total of ten Remembrance bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree, bringing the total of Remembrances to 25. This is a pretty hefty number and if you want to get as many weapons, armor, and spells as possible, you’ll need to definitely get a bit of duplication going.
Here are all of the DLC Remembrance bosses and what you can get for redeeming them:
Divine Beast Dancing Lion
Enraged Divine Beast
Ash of War: Divine Beast Frost Stomp
Rellana, Twin Moon Knight
Rellana’s Twin Blades
Messmer the Impaler
Spear of the Impaler
Messmer’s Orb
Romina Saint of the Bud
Poleblade of the Bud
Rotten Butterflies
Putrescent Knight
Putrescence Cleaver
Vortex of Putrescence
Scadutree Avatar
Shadow Sunflower Blossom
Land of Shadow
Metyr, Mother of Fingers
Staff of the Great Beyond
Gazing Finger
Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame
Greatsword of Damnation
Midra’s Flame of Frenzy
Commander Gaius
Sword Lance
Blades of Stone
Promised Consort Radahn
Greatsword of Radahn (Lord)
Greatsword of Radahn (Light)
Light of Miquella
All in all, there’s some pretty serious gear to be had if you beat all of the Remembrance bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree. Most are main bosses, required for you to actually beat the DLC, but some are indeed optional, so make sure you seek them out if you want to head toward 100% completion.

The cryptocurrency market faced significant turbulence as Bitcoin’s (BTC) value fell below $63,000, leading to a surge in long position liquidations.
CoinGlass data shows that over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin long liquidations on centralized exchanges reached $47.9 million out of a total $49 million in liquidated BTC positions.
The broader crypto market wasn’t spared, with total liquidations exceeding $161 million, predominantly affecting long positions ($153 million). Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, saw $29.1 million in liquidations, with $28.5 million from long positions.
What are liquidations?
Liquidations occur when traders’ positions are forcibly closed due to insufficient funds, often resulting from market volatility eroding initial margins or collateral. According to CoinGecko data, Bitcoin currently trades at about $63,370, its monthly low, representing a 3.2% decrease in 24 hours and a 15% drop from its March 14 all-time high of $73,740.
The downturn has impacted altcoins as well. Ethereum declined 4% to $3,371, while Solana (SOL) experienced a steeper 7% fall, trading around $125. The GMCI 30 Index, tracking the top 30 cryptocurrencies, dropped 4% to 124.9.
CoinGecko data indicates that Bitcoin maintains a 52.64% market dominance, followed by Ethereum at 17.76%. The global cryptocurrency market capitalization has contracted by approximately 3.5% to $2.466 trillion.
An expanding market
When observing market contractions such as this one, it is easy to forget that the regulated Bitcoin market is still aggressively growing. As reported earlier this month, prominent asset manager VanEck is set to launch Australia’s first spot Bitcoin ETF on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) this Thursday.
This product allows investors to gain direct exposure to Bitcoin without the complexities of purchasing and storing the cryptocurrency themselves. The announcement follows April rumors and comes after Monochrome Asset Management launched a similar product on Australia’s CBOE exchange earlier this month.
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has also recently announced plans to issue one billion yen (approximately $6.3 million USD) in bonds to purchase Bitcoin. This decision, approved by the company’s board on June 24, 2024, aligns with Metaplanet’s long-term strategy to increase its cryptocurrency holdings.
The bonds, set to be issued on June 26, will offer a 0.5% annual interest rate and mature on June 25, 2025. This move is expected to increase Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings from 141.07 to around 241 BTC.

A five-hour YouTube Live broadcast featuring a deepfake of Elon Musk promoted a cryptocurrency scam today, continuing a recent trend of similar fraudulent streams.
According to a June 23 Engadget report, the now-removed video purported to show a live Tesla event, using an AI-generated version of Musk’s voice to lure viewers to a website. The fake Musk urged viewers to deposit Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) or Dogecoin (DOGE) for a supposed giveaway, promising to “automatically send back double the amount.”
The stream attracted over 30,000 viewers at its peak, though bot inflation cannot be ruled out. It topped YouTube’s Live Now recommendations. The channel, @elon.teslastream, bore the Official Artist Channel verification badge, suggesting a possible account compromise.
YouTube removed both the video and channel after Engadget’s inquiry to Google. This incident is part of a recent surge in Elon Musk deepfake scams, typically impersonating his companies.
The video was titled “Tesla’s [sic] unveils a masterpiece: The Tesla that will change the car industry forever.” Earlier in June, Cointelegraph reported on 35 accounts posing as SpaceX running similar scams during the Starship launch.
An ongoing trend
April saw scammers attempting to capitalize on eclipse enthusiasm using the same tactic, as reported by Mashable. Cryptocurrency scams targeting Musk’s followers on social media have been an ongoing issue, as have those involving celebrities generally.
Recently, 50 Cent’s social media accounts were hacked to promote a pump-and-dump scheme. Tesla’s CEO is particularly popular as a target for celebrity fake scam promotion given his relevance to the cryptocurrency space.
Musk’s relevancy to crypto primarily stems from his influential social media presence and his companies’ involvement with digital currencies. As the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Musk’s public statements about cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin and Dogecoin, have frequently caused significant market movements.

The post Is PEPU The Next Big Meme Coin – Pepe Unchained Layer 2 ICO Raises $500k appeared first on ReadWrite.
Cryptocurrency analyst Crypto Gains highlights Pepe Unchained, a recent entrant in the meme coin market that has already surpassed $500,000 in presales.
This ambitious project aims to innovate within the space by leveraging its own Layer 2 blockchain technology. The unique approach promises faster transaction speeds, lower fees, and a dedicated ecosystem specifically designed for meme-based applications.
Notably, Pepe Unchained carves a unique path by centering itself around the iconic Pepe meme, thus distinguishing itself from the prevalent dog-themed tokens like those seen with DogeChain and Shiba Inu’s Shibarium.
Pepe Unchained: A Layer 2 meme coin with huge potential
Pepe Unchained is a Layer 2 meme blockchain that promises enhanced speed, lower transaction fees, and greater volume capacity compared to Ethereum.
Inspired by successful meme projects like Dogechain and Shibarium, Pepe Unchained aims to build a robust ecosystem around the beloved Pepe meme.
This innovative blockchain offers instant bridging for seamless transitions between Ethereum and Pepe Chain, significantly lower transaction fees, and the ability to handle volumes at speeds up to 100 times faster than Ethereum.
Additionally, it features a dedicated block explorer for tracking transactions and activities on the network.
Currently in its presale phase, Pepe Unchained has raised over $530,000, providing early investors with the opportunity to buy and stake $PEPU tokens, the native currency of the ecosystem.
We did it! $500K raised! 🎉
This milestone marks just the beginning. Big things are coming for Pepe’s own blockchain! 🐸🧠 pic.twitter.com/ZylbjL2Kjq
— Pepe Unchained (@pepe_unchained) June 24, 2024
With investments starting at $25, $50, or $100, participants can secure early positions and potentially see substantial long-term gains as the project develops.
PEPU token’s role in the future of DeFi and NFTs
Staking $PEPU tokens allows users to earn passive rewards, with an estimated annual reward rate currently at an impressive 4586% per year. This high rate is expected to decrease as more people join the staking pool, making the early phase a unique opportunity to maximize returns.
The total supply of $PEPU tokens is allocated as follows: 20% for presale, 30% for staking, 20% for marketing, 10% for liquidity, 10% for project finance, and 10% for chain inventory.
Pepe Unchained aims to create a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem, moving beyond its origins as a meme coin. The platform will support new NFTs, memes, games, and DeFi projects, all powered by the $PEPU token.
This initiative could herald a new golden age for meme coins. With a dedicated community of 2,300 followers on X, Pepe Unchained is in its early stages but shows significant growth potential.
The roadmap includes ambitious plans to further develop Layer 2 technology and expand the ecosystem, making it an exciting project to watch. Investors can participate in the presale using Ethereum, USDT, or BNB by connecting their wallets, such as Metamask.
The staking platform, though new, offers impressive annual rewards that are expected to decline as the pool grows. To take part in the $PEPU token presale, visit pepeunchained.com.
Conclusion
Pepe Unchained stirs the pot in the meme coin market with its focus on Layer 2 blockchain technology. This innovative approach tackles the limitations plaguing meme coins, potentially making Pepe Unchained a serious contender.
While the cultural significance of Pepe the Frog can’t be ignored, investors, beginners or veterans alike, should carefully consider this project’s potential alongside established meme coins when making portfolio diversification decisions.

In the United Kingdom, a fourth Conservative Party delegate is being investigated after bets were allegedly placed on the date of the upcoming general election.
The Gambling Commission is looking into the matter after a newspaper report stated the party’s chief data officer Nick Mason had allegedly placed scores of bets with the potential to have generated winnings of thousands of pounds.
Mason, who is also a local councilor in the county of Herefordshire, has taken leave of absence from his senior role in the party, less than two weeks before the electorate has their say in the polling booth.
The latest revelation in this scandal increases the pressure on beleaguered incumbent Prime Minister Rishi Sunak who is leading his party into the election on July 4 against a tide of mounting strife.
A comment from the Conservative Party said it was “not permitted to discuss any matters related” to the Gambling Commission probe, while a spokesman for Mr. Mason told the BBC it would not be appropriate to speak during the investigation but he has denied any wrongdoing.
Background to the election betting scandal
Two weeks ago it was revealed that Craig Williams, a close associate and parliamentary aide of the Prime Minister, was under the spotlight for placing a £100 bet on a July election, three days before Sunak announced the snap poll.
Williams intimated he “put a flutter on the general election some weeks ago”, followed by a confession the next day that he had made a “huge error of judgment”.
He is due to be a candidate for the party in the July 4 national vote, which was previously considered to be at risk of influence from AI ‘deepfakes’.
Since then, a further four people have triggered action by the gambling industry watchdog, including a London police officer attached to Sunak’s security brief.
Conservative Party candidate for the Bristol North West constituency, Laura Saunders, her partner Tony Lee who is also the party’s campaigns director, Nick Mason, and the policeman have been identified.
The officer is facing immediate action, having been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in office, over the alleged bets. He is thought to be a member of the Metropolitan Police force Royalty and Specialist Protection (RaSP) Command, which is tasked with the safety of the British Royal Family and political figures.

The post How to duplicate Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrances appeared first on ReadWrite.
Remembrances in Elden Ring are an important aspect of the game since they essentially provide you with boss gear and spells that you wouldn’t have been able to get otherwise.
Shadow of the Erdtree brings new bosses, thus new Remembrances to acquire, but there’s an additional way to duplicate them compared to the base game.
Here, we’ll take you through the steps for how to duplicate Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrances, so you can pick up all of that sweet loot.
How to duplicate Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrances
So, you can duplicate new Remembrances the same way as before – via locating and using a Wandering Mausoleum in The Lands Between map. However, these can only be used once, and if you’ve already done some Remembrance duplication, you may have burned your way through all seven that are in the base game.
In the Land of Shadow though, FromSoftware has added another method for Remembrance duplication – Stone Coffins.
There are three Stone Coffins that can be used, and look just like the ones that are in the aforementioned Wandering Mausoleums.
One can be found behind the Scadu Altus Cathedral Of Manus Metyr, the second is in the Finger Ruins Of Rhia, and the last is in the Finger Ruins Of Dheo.
You use these Coffins just as you would do in the main game and again, these can only be used once, so keep that in mind before simply splurging on the first Remembrance you get in the DLC.
One thing to note here is that if you don’t really like the look of any of the new Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrances, you can still use these new Stone Coffins on the base game ones too which is useful if you made a mistake before and wanted to unlock a different bit of boss gear.
