Raydium, a Solana-based DeFi platform, has launched its own memecoin launchpad after Pump.fun severed ties with the automated market maker last month. Dubbed LaunchLab, the new memecoin-making protocol officially went live on April 16, giving users a simple way to create, customise, and trade their own tokens directly on the Solana blockchain, according to an X post from Raydium on the day. The platform connects directly to Raydium’s liquidity pools, allowing new tokens to start trading instantly with minimal setup. Projects that raise at least 85 SOL, or about $11,150, are automatically added to Raydium’s AMM, giving them access to deeper liquidity from the start. LaunchLab also offers flexible bonding curve options, 1% trading fees, and zero migration costs, a key change aimed at reducing friction for both developers and traders. Over 10 projects had already crossed the 85 SOL threshold at press time, suggesting early interest in the new tool. Following the launch, Raydium’s native token RAY spiked roughly 13% to $2.41 before cooling off to around $2.32, at press time. According to Raydium, 25% of all trading fees collected through LaunchLab will be used to buy back RAY tokens, potentially supporting its market value over time.

The announcement from Pump.fun, which had long used Raydium’s liquidity pools for its bonding curve launches, effectively ended what was seen as a key source of revenue and activity for Raydium. On March 20, Pump.fun introduced PumpSwap, a Solana-based DEX that supports all launchpad coins completing their bonding curve, offering instant, fee-free migrations and full trading support. At the time, an anonymous Raydium developer, LaunchLab, had already been in the works for several months. However, the team kept it shelved to avoid any perception that they were directly competing with Pump.fun or other launchpads. According to the developer, LaunchLab wasn’t built to replace Pump.fun, but rather to offer teams a simpler way to create and manage tokens without starting from scratch. That said, LaunchLab still lacks some community-driven features like Pump.fun’s live streaming option, which has become a popular tool for memecoin creators to engage directly with their audiences. Due to widespread misuse, including extreme stunts and threats of self-harm, Pump.fun suspended the feature in November 2024 following community backlash. It has since been reinstated , with the platform fully restoring live streaming on April 11 under stricter moderation rules to curb abuse.

Equity Insider News Commentary Issued on behalf of Avant Technologies Inc. VANCOUVER, BC, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Equity Insider News Commentary – The potential for artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is still unfolding, both for patients and providers. A recent report from Deloitte found that 71% of healthcare industry leaders expect improved profitability this year, and it comes with rising AI implementation in care. At a global level, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently launched a new AI collaboration center for healthcare through the Digital Ethics Center at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, while the World Economic Forum (WEF) is championing prioritizing investments in evidence, infrastructure, and equity. At the innovation level, the private sector is making moves, with notable AI healthcare developments coming recently from Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: BTAI), Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: TVGN, TVGNW), Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST), and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR). The article continued: According to analysts at McKinsey who have surveyed healthcare leaders about their perspectives and approaches to generative AI (gen AI) since 2023, recently found that 85% of respondents were exploring or had adopted gen AI capabilities. Barclays expects growth in the AI healthcare market to explode at a 30% CAGR through 2030, supported by rising investment from pharma companies, hospitals, and insurers. Avant Technologies and JV Partner, Ainnova, Accelerate Expansion Across Latin America Following Key Role at Healthcare Innovation Summit Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) , an emerging leader in AI-driven healthcare innovation, continues to build momentum in the AI-driven healthcare sector through its joint venture with Ainnova Tech , a leading healthcare technology company focused on revolutionizing early disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI) and developers of the Vision AI platform. Today, the two companies announced that following Ainnova’s sponsorship and its CEO’s key role at the 2025 Healthcare Innovation Summit in Mexico City, both Avant and Ainnova , through their joint venture, Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC) , are building on Ainnova’s strong presence in Mexico by expanding its footprint across Latin America. Ainnova has initiated its first commercial pilots in both Chile and the Dominican Republic to work directly with prestigious hospitals that cover the full spectrum of care—from primary to highly specialized services. These pilot programs aim to demonstrate, (i) cost reduction in preventive diagnostics; (ii) increased efficiency in medical resource allocation and patient flow; (iii) enhanced institutional reputation driven by technological innovation; and (iv) improved profitability for participating healthcare centers through optimized patient referrals. The pilot programs leverage Ainnova’s proprietary Vision AI platform to identify health risks in real time, which enable seamless referrals for specialty care or further diagnostic tests when a positive risk is detected. The broader vision for the joint venture involves deploying an automated, low-cost retinal imaging device integrated with its AI-driven platform to deliver comprehensive preventive risk screening. From just two retinal images, blood pressure and some lab test information, the system will assess risks for: cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, liver fibrosis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The message that Ainnova’s CEO, Vinicio Vargas, continues to convey to audiences around the world is that this accessible, fast, and scalable solution is designed to support early intervention and targeted treatment strategies, with the ambition of reaching millions of patients globally in the coming years. Avant has partnered with Ainnova to form AAC so the two companies can advance and commercialize Ainnova’s technology portfolio worldwide. AAC holds the global licensing rights to the technology portfolio, including its Vision AI platform and is versatile proprietary retinal cameras and algorithms validated on more than 2.3 million clinical data points. This also follows Ainnova’s recent strategic alignment with Apollo Hospitals in Southeast Asia, where the Vision AI platform has been cleared for commercial deployment in Brazil, and clinical pilots are being prepared across the Americas. Avant and Ainnova have identified Brazil and the United States as key strategic markets. Ainnova is currently addressing regulatory pathways in Brazil with the support of its MDSAP certification to meet ANVISA requirements, paving the way for rapid market entry. Ainnova is being guided by global CRO Fortrea ahead of the important pre-submission meeting with the FDA . The goal is to seek 510(k) clearance for Vision AI in detecting diabetic retinopathy, a gateway to broader use across multiple chronic disease categories. At the same time, Ainnova is advancing its regulatory roadmap for the U. S. The objective is to begin clinical trials in the coming months to obtain FDA approval and commercialize its technology in the U.S.—initially targeting markets where reimbursement codes for diabetic retinopathy are already approved. Between FDA progress, high-profile alliances, and a growing international presence, Avant Technologies continues to carve out a niche in the convergence of AI, diagnostics, and preventative care. Investors looking for small-cap exposure to the healthcare AI revolution may want to keep AVAI on the radar as these developments unfold.

President Donald Trump entered the early stage of tariff negotiations with Japan on Wednesday, escalating what could have been a preparatory discussion into a diplomatic negotiation procedure. The meeting with the President of the White House was close to 50 minutes long, and it was with Japan’s chief trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa. Following this was a broader session with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other key U.S. officials. While Japan expected the discussions to be limited to trade and investment, Trump brought up additional topics, such as the share of expenses for the U.S. military in the country. Trump later posted on social media that the meeting was “big progress” , though he did not give more details. Akazawa revealed that both parties agreed to meet in the same month and found out that Trump deemed Japan a top priority in trade. Source: TruthSocial Japan was quite surprised by Trump’s participation, perceiving this as the green light for the United States to seek to dominate further talks with several partners. In an interview with reporters in Tokyo on Thursday morning, Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stated, “The government will continue to consider trade negotiations a top priority . Wil l visit the United States at the most suitable time for talks. ” Since Trump slapped the comprehensive tariffs in early April, more than 75 nations have sought negotiations. Military spending and auto tariffs complicate the agenda Apart from trade, Trump also criticized Japan on defense spending. He reportedly wants Tokyo to elevate the defense spending to $150 billion, or 2% of harsh effects beyond the $10 trillion already planned for the 2027 financial year. The Japanese authorities fear that the President of the United States could begin to demand 3%. Currently, the Japanese Defence budget is 1.8% of its GDP, and there are concerns that certain economic demands of the United States could encompass commitment. Japan relies heavily on automobiles in its export market and is also subject to a 25% tariff. Although the administration has temporarily suspended most of the new surcharges for about 90 days, there is a 10% baseline tariff. Tokyo has called on Washington to rescind these measures and disconnect the renewal of the dollar-greenback exchange from trade negotiations. The dollar increased against the yen, as Akazawa clarified that the talks did not discuss foreign exchange manipulation. Japan aims to offer investment as a solution In an effort to alleviate tensions, Japan is introducing large-scale investment pledges in the United States as a response to tariffs. Among decisions under consideration, one might examine the Japanese participation in a multi-billion-dollar Alaskan gas scheme. Tokyo argued that such commitments can open up a “win-win” that does not depend on threats of trade retaliation. Treasury Secretary Bessent said that Japan could be among the “first movers” to benefit from negotiations with the U.S. due to the international attention paid to Trump’s tariff system. However, negotiators may reach snap decisions that do not address the most critical trade imbalances. Trump’s trade agenda remains aggressive. In early April, he said that Japan had levied a 700% tariff on rice, a claim that Tokyo has denied. The auto sector is one of the most affected, as it contributes to 30% of Japan’s exports to the U.S. and is highly affected by current and proposed duties. At the time of writing, the pair is up by 0.49% for the day to reach 142.60 USD/JPY. Asian equities responded positively. Japan’s Topix index rose 1%, leading regional gains. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index rose by 1.6%, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 was up by 0.6%. The Shanghai Composite added only 0.2%. Futures on the S&P 500 index also advanced 0.7%.

Artificial intelligence startups captured the majority of global venture capital funding in the first quarter of 2025. According to a new report from Pitchbook , AI and machine learning companies received 57.9% of all VC funding worldwide in Q1, more than double the 28% share seen in the same period last year. The momentum was even more concentrated in North America, where 70% of all venture capital flowed into AI-focused startups. Global AI Funding Hits $73B in Q1 In total, the global AI sector raised $73 billion in the first quarter—already more than half of the total deal value AI startups secured in all of 2024. A major portion of that funding came from OpenAI, which closed a record-breaking $40 billion round led by SoftBank on March 31. Other significant raises included Anthropic’s $3.5 billion Series E round, underscoring the appetite for foundational AI infrastructure and applications. Investors appear to be betting heavily on early market leaders as competition in the space intensifies. “Investors still have an AI FOMO problem,” Pitchbook stated, suggesting that fear of missing out is fueling the continued surge in capital. Maria Palma, general partner at Freestyle Capital, noted that the technological progress in AI is advancing so quickly that many investors feel pressured to move fast. “The fear of somebody else winning your market has never been higher than it is now,” she said. However, not all voices in the industry are equally optimistic. Nnamdi Okike, co-founder of 645 Ventures, warned that the rapid funding pace could lead to unsustainable valuations. “A lot of VC funds are just kind of saying, ‘Hey, this can only go up.’ And that’s usually a recipe for failure,” he said. In comparison, crypto and blockchain startups attracted just $4.8 billion in funding during the same period, according to CryptoRank. While still modest compared to AI, this marks a notable rebound from the $1.1 billion raised in Q4 2024 and represents the strongest quarter for crypto VC deals since Q3 2022. The crypto sector appears to be regaining investor interest, particularly in the U.S., where regulatory attitudes have softened. ~$154 million in venture funding this week. Q1 closing with $7.3B+ raised across more than 550 rounds. https://t.co/aPQcrAdnG6 — Messari (@MessariCrypto) March 28, 2025 Galaxy Ventures Set to Raise $180M for Early-Stage Crypto Startups by June Galaxy Ventures, led by Mike Novogratz, is expected to close a $180 million raise by June, signaling renewed confidence in blockchain innovation. The fund focuses on early-stage crypto and blockchain startups, particularly in payments and stablecoins, according to an April 17 Bloomberg report citing unnamed sources. In another major fundraising, Venture capital firm Haun Ventures is reportedly aiming to raise $1 billion across two new cryptocurrency investment funds within the next three months. Half of the funds—$500 million—are expected to be dedicated to early-stage crypto startups, while the remaining $500 million will be allocated to late-stage investments in the digital asset space. As reported, Kaito AI has ranked Paradigm as the top-performing crypto VC firm over the past 12 months, posting an 11.80% performance metric. The firm leads ahead of Alliance (10.64%), Dragonfly (8.32%), a16z (6.94%), and Multicoin Capital (5.86%), which round out the top five.

A top Coinbase researcher says signs of a long-term crypto bear market are starting to emerge. David Duong, the global head of research at Coinbase, says in a new analysis that the 200-day moving average (MA) indicates bearishness for Bitcoin ( BTC ) and the Coinbase 50 Index (COIN50), which tracks the performance of the 50 largest digital assets by market cap. “As Bitcoin’s role as a ‘store of value’ continues to grow, we think a holistic evaluation of crypto’s aggregate market activity will be needed to better define bull and bear markets for the asset class, particularly as we’re likely to see increasingly diverse behavior in its expanding sectors. Nevertheless, both BTC and the COIN50 index have recently broken below their respective 200-day MAs, which signals potential bearish long-term trends in the overall market. This is consistent with the fall in the total crypto market cap and decline in venture capital funding for this space, hallmarks of a potential crypto winter rising.” The analyst says if a crypto bear market does set in, a bullish reversal could start taking shape sometime between July and September. “Thus, we think this warrants taking a defensive stance on risk for the time being, though we still believe that crypto prices may be able to find their floor in mid-to-late 2Q25 – setting up a better 3Q25.” Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Don't Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.

Bitcoin’s price went on a highly volatile ride yesterday when US Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted that there might not be any upcoming rate cuts. The altcoins have recovered some ground following yesterday’s correction, with SOL trading past $130 and ETH tapping $1,600 again. BTC Recovers From Post-Fed Volatility Ever since the drop below $80,000 on several occasions last week, the last of which was on Thursday, the primary cryptocurrency has not traded beneath that level. The asset reclaimed that level by Friday and hasn’t looked back. It continued to climb during the weekend and on Monday, peaking at $86,000. It faced immediate rejection there and dropped to $83,000 on Tuesday. The bulls went on the offensive later that day and helped BTC regain over $3,000 of value. As a result, the cryptocurrency jumped to a two-week peak of $86,500 before it was pushed south once again to $83,000. It recovered to $85,500 on Wednesday, but the hawkish comments by US Fed Chair Jerome Powell about the tariff impact, as well as the central bank’s overall policy, drove bitcoin south hard, and the asset dropped by over two grand within minutes. As of now, it trades above $84,000 after it was stopped at $85,000. Its market cap has stalled at $1.675 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is just shy of 61%. BTCUSD. Source: TradingView SOL, HYPE Run Wild Solana’s native token has emerged as today’s top performer from the largest 20 alts. It has gained nearly 7% and now trades well past $130. HYPE has risen the most from the mid-cap alts, having gained almost 10%. Its price tag is close to $16.5. RNDR, BCH, and TON are also in the green, followed by ETH, XRP, BNB, DOGE, AVAX, and LINK. In contrast, TRX has dropped the most from the larger-cap alts, having lost almost 4% of value. The total crypto market cap has recovered over $30 billion since yesterday and is above $2.750 trillion on CG now. Cryptocurrency Market Overview.
