Thanks to the kits, partnered with AI and algorithms, blood-thirsty killers are being caught at rapid rates via family members who send their DNA off to discover their ancestry or find long-lost relatives. DNA testing, otherwise known as genetic genealogy, is one of the techniques that was used to help find the accused University of Idaho quadruple homicide killer. A knife sheath found in the apartment where the killings took place in 2022 was linked to accused 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger through genetic genealogy. A trial date has still not been set in the case against him. And a notorious 27-year-old murder mystery was recently solved after an Ancestry DNA test resulted in an arrest. read more world news TikToker Jenna Rose Gerwatowski, 23, revealed in a video that a DNA test led to her grandmother's arrest in an open cold case. An actress also found a suspect in a cold case murder of teenage sweethearts using a DNA ancestry website. Even the Golden State Killer was found after genetic experts and investigators found and studied his third cousins. Then other information like genealogical records, approximate age and crime locations helped to narrow the search down to the sick murderer, his real name Joseph James DeAngelo. Most read in The Sun When you have unknown DNA at the crime scene, there's no right to privacy for that individual He terrorised the state of California for more than two decades - earning other monikers such as The Night Stalker, The Visalia Ransacker, and The East Area Rapist. Dr Ray Wickenheiser is a recent retiree from the New York State Police Crime Laboratory System where he has been incredibly active in the forensic investigative genetic genealogy department. He told The Sun that cops are moving away from the usual law enforcement databases that store DNA, and trying new routes to catch the world's most heinous criminals. At-home DNA tests have become an extremely effective way to track down those who have spent years hiding away from serving time for their crimes. Dr Wickenheiser explained how normally using law enforcement databases, cops do what is called "direct matching". This is where if somebody is in your "national DNA index" and cops also have DNA from the crime scene, they're able to "look for exactly that individual". But cases have turned cold and victims have not had justice served as an exact match is needed to find those in the police database. And Dr Wickenheiser said if it doesn't match, "well, you're pretty much done". A lot of criminals would not be in the cop's database if they're first-time offenders, nor their relatives - leading experts to publicly access information on genealogy sites. While there has been uproar in the past on how ethical the method is, Dr Wickenheiser argues that using the sites is justified as those directly involved in a crime have "no right to privacy". He said: "Genealogy is one of the biggest hobbies in the US and probably around the world. "People want to know where they came from, who their family tree is. It's just a very interesting thing. "So using essentially what's already in place for a hobby enterprise, and it's the same concept - I'm searching for a long lost relative. I have this profile that's at the crime scene. I want to find a related individual because that's a known person. "And then through building the family trees, I can figure out who this unknown person is. "So when you have unknown DNA at the crime scene, there's no right to privacy for that individual. The existing profile we put into that DNA database, we didn't get a direct match. The fact that you share that DNA with your family tree is allowing us really, frankly, to do our job "Now, what we're doing is using the existing tools of genealogy, searching for a long lost relative, and then using those known people to build a tree, to then try to get back to who could this person be, who was at the scene of the crime, do they have the right age, the right sex, the right location. "We're using existing tools, but we're applying it in a new way." There are currently two sites which, with informed consent, put forward kit users' DNA to law enforcement - GEDmatch and FamilyTreeDNA. Both sites also allow users to transfer DNA data from other sites like Ancestry, FamilyTreeDNA and 23andMe into their database. These can then be accessed by law enforcement who are looking to identify perpetrators of crimes. GED match website reads: "Your kit WILL be compared with kits submitted by law enforcement to identify perpetrators of violent crimes. "The operators of GEDmatch encourage everybody to select this option." AI and algorithms have created a quicker process of catching those at the scene as they map out different DNA before searching and comparing it to others on the database. Dr Wickenheiser explained: "You have search algorithms that do things that we could never do. "You can appreciate there are at this point, for different companies, a total of 40 million people worldwide who have done the same thing. "The idea is you're doing this very complex DNA comparison, but it distils down to a simple number." But Dr Wickenheiser pointed out how there are drawbacks from using AI and various algorithms to catch criminals using genealogy. He described how "so many errors" can occur and potentially catch the wrong people, like those who have been adopted into families. Dr Wickenheiser said: "Genetically there's going to be nuances, there's going to be misappropriated parentage, those things happen and people have to be able to know." While modern tech and genealogy data work hand-in-hand to solve crime - this would not be possible without experts looking over it too and comparing it with other evidence. Dr Wickenheiser said: "We're really cognisant of how big of a deal it is. The fact that every country, including England and their match rate, maybe it's 70 percent of the database. "It still means that you have 30 percent of cases where you have a perpetrator at large, you have their DNA at the crime scene and you haven't been able to find a match. "So those are the cases that we can solve with this technique. "We just want to make sure we know what's going to be scrutinized. "We just want to make sure it's done right and that people can see that it's done right. READ MORE SUN STORIES "It's those fail safes that you want to use technology. "But we have this new magical tool that using the relatedness, other pieces of DNA, other features of DNA, the fact that you share that DNA with your family tree is allowing us really, frankly, to do our job." FOUR University of Idaho students were brutally killed in November 2022. The four students identified by the police on November 14, 2022, were Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21. The students’ bodies were found near campus, in a rental house in the city of Moscow, Idaho, on November 13, 2022. Ethan Chapin, 20 College officials report that Ethan Chapin was a freshman and member of the Sigma Chi fraternity from Conway, Washington, majoring in Recreation, Sport, and Tourism Management. He was one of a set of triplets who were also students at the University of Idaho and had spent the night before his death with both of his siblings at his sister’s sorority dance. According to social media posts, he was dating Xana Kernodle. Ethan didn’t live in the house but was staying over the night of the murder. Xana Kernodle, 20 Xana was a junior at the University of Idaho majoring in marketing at the College of Business and Economics. She was also a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. Xana was allegedly the last of the four students killed in the bloody rampage, and she fought until the very end. An unnamed source told News Nation: “Xana Kernodle put up a fierce fight when the attacker set upon her, repeatedly grabbing the attacker’s knife. “So much so that she sustained deep cuts to her fingers and that her fingers were nearly severed.” Madison Mogen, 21 Madison Mogen was a senior from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, majoring in Marketing. She was the sorority’s director of PR and Marketing and was best friends with fellow victim Kaylee Goncalves. Kaylee’s father even told the public that the girls had been sharing a bed on the night of the murders. At a vigil weeks after the murders, Goncalves’ father Mr Goncalves told how the two “absolutely beautiful” young women first met in sixth grade and became inseparable. “They just found each other and every day they did homework together, they came to our house together, they shared everything,” he said at the time. “Then they started looking at colleges, they came here together. They eventually get into the same apartment together. “And in the end, they died together, in the same room, in the same bed.” Kaylee Goncalves, 21 Kaylee Goncalves was a senior pursuing a General Studies major. She was from Rathdrum, Idaho, and a member of the Alpha Phi sorority. She planned to move to Austin, Texas, in June after graduation.

Soberano-led developer Cebu Landmasters Inc. will raise up to P5 billion from the debt market to support its expansion plans outside the Visayas and Mindanao amid an anticipated improvement in real estate demand. In a stock exchange filing on Monday, CLI said it had filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for the follow-on offering of its sustainability-linked bonds. The issuance, which represents the second tranche of CLI’s P15-billion debt securities program approved in 2022, will consist of series D bonds due 2028 and series E bonds due 2030. READ: CLI set to develop another P373M residential project in Cebu CLI’s issuance will have a base offer of up to P3 billion and an oversubscription option of up to P2 billion in case of high demand. In a separate statement, the developer said Philippine Ratings Services Corp. had issued a credit rating of PRS Aa plus with a stable outlook to CLI’s P5-billion offering. This indicates that CLI has a “very strong capacity” to meet its financial obligations. Based on the latest preliminary prospectus, CLI will use part of the proceeds to fund its capital expenditures and the development of its pipeline projects. This comes amid the company’s plans to pursue its Luzon expansion despite the current inventory oversupply plaguing the National Capital Region. CLI chief operating officer Jose Franco Soberano III previously told reporters that the market would likely “correct” next year and improve demand. A condominium project will soon be in the works in Metro Manila, while a horizontal development will likely rise in Cavite province, according to Soberano. CLI’s expansion into Luzon marks its first venture into the country’s largest island group, as its existing projects are currently in the Visayas and Mindanao. Most of CLI’s developments cater to the middle-income segment, while other developers entering Cebu are launching high-end properties. CLI’s projects are 89-percent sold as of end-September, the company said. The developer has so far launched P8.2 billion worth of projects this year totaling 1,662 residential units in the mid-market and economic segments.

In the first nine months of the year, CLI’s earnings grew by 7 percent to P2.3 billion due to a surge in leasing and hospitality revenues. —Meg J. Adonis
ATLANTA — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who won the presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, endured humbling defeat after one tumultuous term and then redefined life after the White House as a global humanitarian, has died. He was 100 years old. The longest-lived American president died on Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023, spent most of their lives, The Carter Center said. “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” the center simply said in posting about Carter’s death on the social media platform X. Businessman, Navy officer, evangelist, politician, negotiator, author, woodworker, citizen of the world — Carter forged a path that still challenges political assumptions and stands out among the 45 men who reached the nation’s highest office. The 39th president leveraged his ambition with a keen intellect, deep religious faith and prodigious work ethic, conducting diplomatic missions into his 80s and building houses for the poor well into his 90s. “My faith demands — this is not optional — my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can, with whatever I have to try to make a difference,” Carter once said. A moderate Democrat, Carter entered the 1976 presidential race as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. His no-frills campaign depended on public financing, and his promise not to deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter repeated before narrowly beating Republican incumbent Gerald Ford, who had lost popularity pardoning Nixon. Carter governed amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over racism, women’s rights and America’s global role. His most acclaimed achievement in office was a Mideast peace deal that he brokered by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at the bargaining table for 13 days in 1978. That Camp David experience inspired the post-presidential center where Carter would establish so much of his legacy. Yet Carter’s electoral coalition splintered under double-digit inflation, gasoline lines and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His bleakest hour came when eight Americans died in a failed hostage rescue in April 1980, helping to ensure his landslide defeat to Republican Ronald Reagan. Carter acknowledged in his 2020 “White House Diary” that he could be “micromanaging” and “excessively autocratic,” complicating dealings with Congress and the federal bureaucracy. He also turned a cold shoulder to Washington’s news media and lobbyists, not fully appreciating their influence on his political fortunes. “It didn’t take us long to realize that the underestimation existed, but by that time we were not able to repair the mistake,” Carter told historians in 1982, suggesting that he had “an inherent incompatibility” with Washington insiders. Carter insisted his overall approach was sound and that he achieved his primary objectives — to “protect our nation’s security and interests peacefully” and “enhance human rights here and abroad” — even if he fell spectacularly short of a second term. Ignominious defeat, though, allowed for renewal. The Carters founded The Carter Center in 1982 as a first-of-its-kind base of operations, asserting themselves as international peacemakers and champions of democracy, public health and human rights. “I was not interested in just building a museum or storing my White House records and memorabilia,” Carter wrote in a memoir published after his 90th birthday. “I wanted a place where we could work.” That work included easing nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, helping to avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and negotiating cease-fires in Bosnia and Sudan. By 2022, The Carter Center had declared at least 113 elections in Latin America, Asia and Africa to be free or fraudulent. Recently, the center began monitoring U.S. elections as well. Carter’s stubborn self-assuredness and even self-righteousness proved effective once he was unencumbered by the Washington order, sometimes to the point of frustrating his successors. He went “where others are not treading,” he said, to places like Ethiopia, Liberia and North Korea, where he secured the release of an American who had wandered across the border in 2010. “I can say what I like. I can meet whom I want. I can take on projects that please me and reject the ones that don’t,” Carter said. He announced an arms-reduction-for-aid deal with North Korea without clearing the details with Bill Clinton’s White House. He openly criticized President George W. Bush for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He also criticized America’s approach to Israel with his 2006 book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.” And he repeatedly countered U.S. administrations by insisting North Korea should be included in international affairs, a position that most aligned Carter with Republican President Donald Trump. Among the center’s many public health initiatives, Carter vowed to eradicate the guinea worm parasite during his lifetime, and nearly achieved it: Cases dropped from millions in the 1980s to nearly a handful. With hardhats and hammers, the Carters also built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The Nobel committee’s 2002 Peace Prize cites his “untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” Carter should have won it alongside Sadat and Begin in 1978, the chairman added. Carter accepted the recognition saying there was more work to be done. “The world is now, in many ways, a more dangerous place,” he said. “The greater ease of travel and communication has not been matched by equal understanding and mutual respect.” Carter’s globetrotting took him to remote villages where he met little “Jimmy Carters,” so named by admiring parents. But he spent most of his days in the same one-story Plains house — expanded and guarded by Secret Service agents — where they lived before he became governor. He regularly taught Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined and the coronavirus pandemic raged. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world to the small sanctuary where Carter will receive his final send-off after a state funeral at Washington’s National Cathedral. The common assessment that he was a better ex-president than president rankled Carter and his allies. His prolific post-presidency gave him a brand above politics, particularly for Americans too young to witness him in office. But Carter also lived long enough to see biographers and historians reassess his White House years more generously. His record includes the deregulation of key industries, reduction of U.S. dependence on foreign oil, cautious management of the national debt and notable legislation on the environment, education and mental health. He focused on human rights in foreign policy, pressuring dictators to release thousands of political prisoners. He acknowledged America’s historical imperialism, pardoned Vietnam War draft evaders and relinquished control of the Panama Canal. He normalized relations with China. “I am not nominating Jimmy Carter for a place on Mount Rushmore,” Stuart Eizenstat, Carter’s domestic policy director, wrote in a 2018 book. “He was not a great president” but also not the “hapless and weak” caricature voters rejected in 1980, Eizenstat said. Rather, Carter was “good and productive” and “delivered results, many of which were realized only after he left office.” Madeleine Albright, a national security staffer for Carter and Clinton’s secretary of state, wrote in Eizenstat’s forward that Carter was “consequential and successful” and expressed hope that “perceptions will continue to evolve” about his presidency. “Our country was lucky to have him as our leader,” said Albright, who died in 2022. Jonathan Alter, who penned a comprehensive Carter biography published in 2020, said in an interview that Carter should be remembered for “an epic American life” spanning from a humble start in a home with no electricity or indoor plumbing through decades on the world stage across two centuries. “He will likely go down as one of the most misunderstood and underestimated figures in American history,” Alter told The Associated Press. James Earl Carter Jr. was born Oct. 1, 1924, in Plains and spent his early years in nearby Archery. His family was a minority in the mostly Black community, decades before the civil rights movement played out at the dawn of Carter’s political career. Carter, who campaigned as a moderate on race relations but governed more progressively, talked often of the influence of his Black caregivers and playmates but also noted his advantages: His land-owning father sat atop Archery’s tenant-farming system and owned a main street grocery. His mother, Lillian, would become a staple of his political campaigns. Seeking to broaden his world beyond Plains and its population of fewer than 1,000 — then and now — Carter won an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, graduating in 1946. That same year he married Rosalynn Smith, another Plains native, a decision he considered more important than any he made as head of state. She shared his desire to see the world, sacrificing college to support his Navy career. Carter climbed in rank to lieutenant, but then his father was diagnosed with cancer, so the submarine officer set aside his ambitions of admiralty and moved the family back to Plains. His decision angered Rosalynn, even as she dived into the peanut business alongside her husband. Carter again failed to talk with his wife before his first run for office — he later called it “inconceivable” not to have consulted her on such major life decisions — but this time, she was on board. “My wife is much more political,” Carter told the AP in 2021. He won a state Senate seat in 1962 but wasn’t long for the General Assembly and its back-slapping, deal-cutting ways. He ran for governor in 1966 — losing to arch-segregationist Lester Maddox — and then immediately focused on the next campaign. Carter had spoken out against church segregation as a Baptist deacon and opposed racist “Dixiecrats” as a state senator. Yet as a local school board leader in the 1950s he had not pushed to end school segregation even after the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision, despite his private support for integration. And in 1970, Carter ran for governor again as the more conservative Democrat against Carl Sanders, a wealthy businessman Carter mocked as “Cufflinks Carl.” Sanders never forgave him for anonymous, race-baiting flyers, which Carter disavowed. Ultimately, Carter won his races by attracting both Black voters and culturally conservative whites. Once in office, he was more direct. “I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over,” he declared in his 1971 inaugural address, setting a new standard for Southern governors that landed him on the cover of Time magazine. His statehouse initiatives included environmental protection, boosting rural education and overhauling antiquated executive branch structures. He proclaimed Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the slain civil rights leader’s home state. And he decided, as he received presidential candidates in 1972, that they were no more talented than he was. In 1974, he ran Democrats’ national campaign arm. Then he declared his own candidacy for 1976. An Atlanta newspaper responded with the headline: “Jimmy Who?” The Carters and a “Peanut Brigade” of family members and Georgia supporters camped out in Iowa and New Hampshire, establishing both states as presidential proving grounds. His first Senate endorsement: a young first-termer from Delaware named Joe Biden. Yet it was Carter’s ability to navigate America’s complex racial and rural politics that cemented the nomination. He swept the Deep South that November, the last Democrat to do so, as many white Southerners shifted to Republicans in response to civil rights initiatives. A self-declared “born-again Christian,” Carter drew snickers by referring to Scripture in a Playboy magazine interview, saying he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times.” The remarks gave Ford a new foothold and television comedians pounced — including NBC’s new “Saturday Night Live” show. But voters weary of cynicism in politics found it endearing. Carter chose Minnesota Sen. Walter “Fritz” Mondale as his running mate on a “Grits and Fritz” ticket. In office, he elevated the vice presidency and the first lady’s office. Mondale’s governing partnership was a model for influential successors Al Gore, Dick Cheney and Biden. Rosalynn Carter was one of the most involved presidential spouses in history, welcomed into Cabinet meetings and huddles with lawmakers and top aides. The Carters presided with uncommon informality: He used his nickname “Jimmy” even when taking the oath of office, carried his own luggage and tried to silence the Marine Band’s “Hail to the Chief.” They bought their clothes off the rack. Carter wore a cardigan for a White House address, urging Americans to conserve energy by turning down their thermostats. Amy, the youngest of four children, attended District of Columbia public school. Washington’s social and media elite scorned their style. But the larger concern was that “he hated politics,” according to Eizenstat, leaving him nowhere to turn politically once economic turmoil and foreign policy challenges took their toll. Carter partially deregulated the airline, railroad and trucking industries and established the departments of Education and Energy, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He designated millions of acres of Alaska as national parks or wildlife refuges. He appointed a then-record number of women and nonwhite people to federal posts. He never had a Supreme Court nomination, but he elevated civil rights attorney Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the nation’s second highest court, positioning her for a promotion in 1993. He appointed Paul Volker, the Federal Reserve chairman whose policies would help the economy boom in the 1980s — after Carter left office. He built on Nixon’s opening with China, and though he tolerated autocrats in Asia, pushed Latin America from dictatorships to democracy. But he couldn’t immediately tame inflation or the related energy crisis. After he admitted the exiled Shah of Iran to the U.S. for medical treatment, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979 by followers of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Negotiations to free the hostages broke down repeatedly ahead of the failed rescue attempt. The same year, Carter signed SALT II, the new strategic arms treaty with Leonid Brezhnev of the Soviet Union, only to pull it back, impose trade sanctions and order a U.S. boycott of the Moscow Olympics after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Hoping to instill optimism, he delivered what the media dubbed his “malaise” speech, although he didn’t use that word. He declared the nation was suffering “a crisis of confidence.” By then, many Americans had lost confidence in the president, not themselves. Carter campaigned sparingly for reelection because of the hostage crisis, instead sending Rosalynn as Sen. Edward M. Kennedy challenged him for the Democratic nomination. Carter famously said he’d “kick his ass,” but was hobbled by Kennedy as Reagan rallied a broad coalition with “make America great again” appeals and asking voters whether they were “better off than you were four years ago.” Reagan further capitalized on Carter’s lecturing tone, eviscerating him in their lone fall debate with the quip: “There you go again.” Carter lost all but six states and Republicans rolled to a new Senate majority. Carter successfully negotiated the hostages’ freedom after the election, but in one final, bitter turn of events, Tehran waited until hours after Carter left office to let them walk free. At 56, Carter returned to Georgia with “no idea what I would do with the rest of my life.” Four decades after launching The Carter Center, he still talked of unfinished business. “I thought when we got into politics we would have resolved everything,” Carter told the AP in 2021. “But it’s turned out to be much more long-lasting and insidious than I had thought it was. I think in general, the world itself is much more divided than in previous years.” Still, he affirmed what he said when he underwent treatment for a cancer diagnosis in his 10th decade of life. “I’m perfectly at ease with whatever comes,” he said in 2015. “I’ve had a wonderful life. I’ve had thousands of friends, I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence.” Source: APToilet Paper Market Growth and Segmentation: 2024, Emerging Trending Factors and Current Investment Scenarios
Iowa cornerback Jermari Harris has opted out of the remainder of the 2024 season in order to prepare for the NFL draft, according to a report by 247Sports.com . The 6-foot-1 sixth-year senior from Chicago has recorded 27 tackles, three interceptions and a team-high seven pass breakups in 10 games for the Hawkeyes this season. That includes a pick-6 in a 38-21 win over Troy earlier this season. Iowa (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) plays at Maryland on Saturday before closing out its regular season at home against Nebraska on Nov. 29. The Hawkeyes are already bowl eligible, so Harris is likely opting out of three games in total. After missing the entire 2022 season due to an ankle injury, Harris was suspended for two games of the following season for his involvement in the gambling investigation into Iowa athletics. He later emerged as the Hawkeyes' top cornerback, earning the team's comeback player of the year award after compiling 42 tackles, one interception and eight pass breakups. Harris will finish his college career with 105 tackles and eight interceptions. --Field Level Media
As the crypto market continues to evolve and expand, investors and analysts alike are constantly seeking the next big breakout opportunity. With established players like Ripple (XRP) and Polygon (POL) holding strong positions, and emerging projects like Pepe (PEPE) and Lightchain AI (LCAI) gaining traction, the question on everyone’s mind is - Which crypto is set to dominate in 2025? We asked ChatGPT 4.0 to analyze the current trends, technological advancements, and growth trajectories of these tokens. Here’s what it had to say about Ripple (XRP), Polygon (POL), Pepe (PEPE), and Lightchain AI—and which one might come out on top in 2025. Ripple (XRP) Legal Battle and Its Impact on Long-Term Potential Mostly driven by its goal on cross-border payments and money transfers, Ripple (XRP) has become well-known as a major participant in the crypto scene. XRP has maintained its value despite the SEC court action because of its ties to banks and financial institutions. Clearly used in global financial systems, it is among the best goods available on the market. Still, problems follow around. The SEC lawsuit has reduced prospects; while Ripple's job is good, it hasn't received the broad adoption required for global domination. On the other hand, XRP may gain popularity should Ripple prevail, therefore strengthening global money. Legal problems, however, might prevent its expansion next to other plans, leaving the 2025 leader unclear. Polygon And PEPE’s Strong Technological Foundations In 2024 both PEPE and Polygon (MATIC) saw notable market volatility. The price of Polygon has changed; predictions point to it possibly reaching between $0.48 and $0.50 by early 2025. Polygon keeps strengthening on its solid basis in spite of these swings by improving its Layer-2 solutions and creating strategic alliances, which are supposed to propel long-term expansion. Comparably, PEPE, a meme-inspired cryptocurrency, has demonstrated great volatility; its price has surged then dropped. Forecasts by analysts show PEPE trading between $0.0000144 and $0.0000666 in 2025, suggesting possible for both big losses and profits. While making investment selections, investors in both assets should take into account the underlying principles and long-term prospects as well as be ready for changes in the market.
