Did the Next Crypto Bull Run Begin? BTC Price Tops $64K and ETH Rises Above $3K. Raboo ICO Brings in Over $1 mil

Total Media

Last week started with a bullish trend and the crypto-market saw significant price movements. The BTC price passed the $64,000 mark and the ETH price hit $3,100. Amid the excitement, Raboo, the new crypto sensation of the DeFi world, raised over $1 million in its ongoing presale and is quickly heading for a 100x surge after its ICO. Bitcoin (BTC): The BTC price is quickly recovering As the first and biggest cryptocurrency in the world, the Bitcoin (BTC) price acts as a proxy for the entire market. Consequently, the recent post-halving drop in the price of Bitcoin triggered a market-wide bearish trend, nudging investors to liquidate their positions in anticipation of new growth signals. These market behaviors stand as a testament to Bitcoin's relevance to the entire crypto ecosystem. The latest growth in the Bitcoin (BTC) price resulted in a rebound for the entire market, with most tokens showing a 10% growth over the last week. Additionally, experts believe that the Bitcoin price is going to hit $75,000 in the coming months as more and more institutional investors are injecting funds into the crypto markets. Ethereum (ETH): What will happen to the ETH price in the following months? As the first to introduce smart contracts in the Web3 world, Ethereum soon became the second most valuable cryptocurrency by market cap. This great surge may be attributed to the importance of Ethereum in the whole crypto ecosystem, from the DeFi sector to the NFT industry. Unfortunately, despite all the enthusiasm around the project, the Ethereum (ETH) price is still hovering around $3000. Experts suggest that this high-volatility period should be expected and that the future of Ethereum is still looking bright. The majority of these voices claim that Ethereum is probably going to reach the $5000 mark in the coming months and that wise investors should act upon this opportunity and get ready for the start of the next bull run. Raboo (RABT): The next rising star of the crypto world Raboo is a new AI meme coin that has amazed the market with its unique mix of advanced technology, SocialFi mechanics, and community-driven philosophy. Investors are offered a variety of features such as AI-generated memes, social media content monetization via Raboo's post-to-earn platform, and different exclusive advantages. Thanks to its innovative technology and robust ecosystem, Raboo successfully attracted over 5,000 members to its vibrant community. Thus, with a starting price of only $0.0042 and optimistic predictions of a 100x payday for early investors, it's not hard to see why Raboo is viewed as a golden opportunity by gem hunters worldwide. Conclusion As the market recovers back from last month's bearish trend, investors are watching the Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) prices for the start of the next bull run. This indicates a positive future for Raboo's presale, positioning the project as one of the best post-halving investments available for any gem hunter looking for their next 100x. Make sure you don't miss out on this golden opportunity! You can participate in the Raboo presale here. Contact Details Total Media Solutions media@Totalsolutionspr.io

Boeing’s Chairman is Leaving Under a Cloud – So Why Does Exxon Want Him on Their Board?

NLPC

In a case of corporate elitists’ blindness at best, and ineptitude in governance at worst, Exxon Mobil Corporation’s directors have renominated Lawrence “Larry” Kellner, who is also the departing Chairman of the crisis-plagued Boeing Company, to their own board. Kellner, a former Continental Airlines Chairman/CEO, left the now-defunct (merged with United) company in late 2009 and joined Boeing’s board of directors in 2011. He was elevated to chairman in late 2019, and his tenure has been marked with failures both financial and reputational. As anyone who follows air travel news knows, Boeing has likely endured the worst year of any U.S.-based corporation due to numerous troubling safety incidents, with the penultimate occurrence in January, when a door plug blew off an Alaska Airlines flight at 16,000 feet, imperiling passengers and crew. In addition to that high-profile episode, Kellner has presided over a cascade of devastating headlines related to Boeing’s quality and safety record. It’s gotten so bad that now every airliner performance glitch, regardless of the responsible party, is now headlined as a “Boeing plane” incident. Yet, inexplicably, ExxonMobil wants Kellner to serve another year on its board, which he joined in 2023. As a result, National Legal and Policy Center, a shareholder in both Boeing and Exxon, is calling for fellow investors to vote against Kellner for the energy company’s annual meeting on May 29. “It’s incredible to have to even ask, but after the last five years-plus that Boeing has had, Larry Kellner is properly leaving its board – so why do Exxon directors think he deserves a seat with them?” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “Is this about strong governance to protect shareholder assets, or just keeping the social club together until something catastrophic happens – like what just happened at Boeing?” Earlier this week NLPC filed a proxy memo with the Securities and Exchange Commission which further explained why it believes Kellner has no business serving on a corporate board at this time, much less the largest U.S.-based energy company in the world. Kellner, along with exiting CEO Dave Calhoun, were supposed to be the leadership pair to improve Boeing’s performance after the firing of previous CEO Dennis Muilenburg. Instead the company’s performance only worsened, with its stock price being almost halved since Kellner took over as Chairman. NLPC also released a short video on Thursday that highlights Boeing’s mishaps under Kellner’s leadership, and questions why ExxonMobil would want to keep him on its governance team. The oil giant’s board, in exhibiting the ultimate in tone-deafness, even plans to keep Kellner on the company’s safety committee! “There’s a reason Larry Kellner is leaving Boeing’s board, and that reason is failure,” Chesser added. “Exxon is not in business so it can provide soft landings for mediocre executives. Nonetheless his colleagues put him on the proxy ballot for the board, so our fellow shareholders should do the right thing and vote against him.” ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.
