By Liam Turner The AI crypto sector has been the fastest-growing crypto market in recent years and is projected to reach a whopping $826 billion by 2030. Many newly launched AI-powered crypto projects have taken off in recent months, with COOKIE being the newest project that exploded just a few days ago. COOKIE tokens gained over 30% in hours and more than 134% since last Monday. However, if you missed investing early, the crypto gaining heat fast before June is Mind of Pepe, the next big AI meme coin expected to explode this June. So, let’s look at the current situation in the AI sector and see why you should invest in $MIND tokens as soon as possible. COOKIE or Cookie DAO is a Binance Smart Chain-based AI crypto trading agent that reported gains of well above 30% in the past few days. Its sudden price explosion clearly indicates the growing interest in the AI agent crypto sector. Projects like Cookie DAOo and Mind of Pepe offer huge benefits and are designed to improve your crypto trading skills. They often provide better results than even the most experienced investors. While both projects belong to the AI crypto sector, they offer very different features. Cookie DAO is a project that indexes all AI agents on the market, making it easier for investors to find crypto that is gaining serious traction. On the other hand, Mind of Pepe is an AI trading agent that is a real-world trader on social media. Its goal is to find and execute the ideal investments on your behalf. Once it goes live, it will become visible on Cookie DAO as the newest AI crypto trading bot. Everything surrounding the launch of Mind of Pepe points toward significant gains, which is why the project is set for liftoff before June. Let’s explore the details to see why you should consider investing in $MIND before the presale closes in the next five days. As mentioned earlier, Mind of Pepe is the newest AI-powered crypto project projected to explode after its launch in just five days. It is primarily an AI crypto trading agent designed to interact with real-world investors across social media networks. Its goal is to find the perfect investment options before they go viral, allowing you to invest early to earn the highest returns. The AI, at its core, is self-evolving, which means that it will learn how the market works over time, becoming more accurate as it completes trades. That will not only ensure that you get the highest ROI, but it will also launch and manage your own meme coins autonomously, providing you with complete control over the entire process. All of the available features are powered by the native $MIND tokens, which will keep gaining value over time as the platform becomes better at what it does. The official $MIND token presale has reached $10 million and is likely to surpass $11 million before the launch is planned in only 5 days. These impressive numbers show that investors are still lining up to grab their tokens early and earn the highest returns following the DEX listings. If you join them by investing in $MIND tokens before June, you can stake them for an APY of 222%. Over the next 3 years, you will earn rewards by staking your tokens until all 100 billion tokens become available for trade. All you have to do to become a part of the next crypto moonshot early is visit the official Mind of Pepe website, connect your crypto wallet, and exchange ETH, USDT, or BNB for $MIND. You can also make purchases using your Visa card, and once you get your supply of $MIND, you can either stake them or wait for the launch to claim your tokens and start trading on day one. It’s important to say that the project has passed smart contract audits by Coinsult and SolidProof, the two most trusted audits in the industry. Mind of Pepe is safe and trusted and is about to dominate the AI market following its launch, so don’t miss your chance to invest early to earn the highest returns in the following months and years. Mind of Pepe is the next big player in the AI agent market and is likely to result in significant gains following the first listing, which will take place in just five days. It is the fast-rising cryptocurrency to watch before June, and considering that the entire crypto market has been massively expanding in the past weeks, it could result in explosive gains for all early investors. Visit the official site, join the growing Mind of Pepe community on X and Telegram, and ensure you never miss an important announcement as the project goes live.

The token traded between $2.82 and $2.98 throughout the period. This $0.16 range reflected 5.6% volatility. Buyers defended the $2.93 level multiple times during consolidation. Seven spot XRP ETF applications currently sit before the SEC. The decision window opens on October 18, 2025. Market participants are positioning ahead of the regulatory deadline. Traders are watching for approval signals that could impact price direction. The $3.00 level remains a key psychological barrier. A break above could trigger additional buying pressure. Support established at $2.93 after repeated defenses. Resistance formed between $2.96 and $2.98. XRP touched $2.98 before sellers capped the advance. The hourly chart displayed an ascending structure with higher lows. A 4.8 million token volume spike occurred during late-session trading. This activity signals institutional demand. Analyst Ali Martinez identifies $2.94 as a critical breakout level. His analysis suggests a move through this resistance could push XRP to $3.00-$3.15.

Peer tokens in the CD20 index rallied 4-5% with elevated volume. Current support sits at $2.84. A break below could lead to tests of $2.80. The next resistance level above current prices remains at $2.98. Bulls need a decisive close above $2.98 to confirm momentum toward $3.00.

At press time, XRP trades at $2.94, up 4.1% over 24 hours. The token continues testing resistance near the $2.89-$2.93 range.

(KMDL-FM) The multi-state lottery game Powerball held its Wednesday drawing last night. Officials with the Louisiana Lottery have confirmed that Wednesday's Powerball did produce a big money winner in the state. According to our sources at the Louisiana Lottery, one ticket sold for Wednesday's drawing earned a prize of $150,000. Last night's Powerball was the 11th drawing since that multi-state lottery game had a jackpot win for a prize of $1.787 billion on September 6th. Since that big win, which was shared by two winning tickets, the Powerball jackpot has been climbing. When the ping pong balls dropped last night, the estimated top prize in the game was $175 million. READ MORE: Louisiana Lottery Reveals Details on Saturday's Jackpot Winner READ MORE: These are the Most Common Winning Lottery Numbers in Louisiana To win that jackpot prize, a Powerball player must match five of the white ball numbers. The numbers range from 01 to 69. The player will also select a number for the Powerball; those numbers range from 01 to 26. If a player matches all five of the white ball numbers and the Powerball, they win the jackpot. Speaking of those numbers and last night's drawing. Here is how that played out for October 1, 2025. Our sources at Powerball confirmed that no tickets sold across the game's footprint matched the numbers needed to claim the jackpot prize. There was a ticket that was sold in Georgia that matched all five of the white ball numbers. That prize is called a Match 5 Million because the player earns $1 million on a ticket with that combination. In Louisiana, it wasn't a huge Powerball night in the state. Sure, we had a big winner, but based on the statistics from Wednesday, only about 3,000 tickets sold in Louisiana were Powerball winners last night. Let me clarify, non-Power Play Powerball winners is a more accurate description. The Louisiana Lottery said that of those who spent the extra dollar to add Power Play to their ticket, there were about 2,000 winners. And in the case of Wednesday's numbers, that Power Play meant any prize that was earned was tripled in value. Here are the numbers from the Powerball drawing for Wednesday, October 1, 2025. 08 17 22 28 55 Powerball 14 Power Play x3 The Louisiana Lottery stat sheet shows that 1,979 tickets earned four dollars, and another 1,290 tickets earned $12 just for matching the red Powerball. If you want to verify your tickets and winnings and make arrangements to collect a prize, you should visit the Official Louisiana Lottery website and the winners' portal. As we mentioned earlier in the story, there was a single ticket sold in Louisiana that matched four of five white balls and the Powerball with the Power Play to claim a prize of $150,000 this morning. We have not been given the point of purchase details on where that winner was sold, but the lottery should release those details later today. There was no jackpot win in Lotto last night. That Louisiana Lottery game will continue to grow its jackpot prize. When they draw in Lotto on Saturday, the estimated top prize will be $2.725 million. While that jackpot amount seems high, it's been higher in the Lotto game. Back in 2015, two winning tickets, one sold in Dequincy and the other in Opelousas, split a Lotto jackpot of over $3.225 million. No jackpot winner in Easy 5, another Louisiana Lottery game, which also held a drawing on Wednesday night. That game did get a jackpot winner this past Saturday when a ticket sold in Slidell earned a prize of over $200,000. Here's where we stand after last night's games. Friday's Mega Millions will feature a jackpot of $520 million. Powerball on Saturday will draw for an estimated $195 million. Lotto will draw for $2.75 million, and Easy 5 will draw for $60,000. Please remember that lottery games involve a risk of losing money. If you play, please play responsibly. If you need help with a gambling problem, call 1-877-770-STOP (7867).

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) formally launched the Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) standard on Wednesday, a new framework designed to simplify the issuance of real-world assets on the blockchain by institutions and developers. According to Ripple developers, the MPTokensV1 amendment was activated on October 1, at around 01:12 PM UTC, after receiving 28 approvals out of 38 validators. The upgrade embeds the new token standard directly into the XRP Ledger, which means developers no longer have to hard-code custom smart contracts for tokenization projects. The new token standard, Multi Purpose Tokens, just got activated on the XRP Ledger ✅. Let the tokenization of everything enter the next stage! pic.twitter.com/75YaXwjzql — Vet 🏴☠️ (@Vet_X0) October 1, 2025
“MPTs are a new token standard on XRP Ledger built to meet the practical needs of developers and institutions… No custom contracts. No wasted cycles,” the RippleX developers account stated on X, announcing the launch of the MPT whitepaper. Ripple said the new token standard will help financial institutions eliminate several problems in RWA tokenization, including the need for extensive security audits, complex bespoke contract logic, and meeting regulatory rules. According to an insight by Cryptopolitan in September, MPT tokens have introduced a set of core features that could improve security, transparency, and interoperability in the tokenization market. Ripple developers have listed metadata integration as one of the provisions, which allows issuers to embed information directly into a token’s definition or link external resources through a URI field. The metadata helps assets to carry legal documentation, identifiers, or terms of use directly on the ledger as a clear and verifiable record. MPTs also allow issuers to delegate day-to-day operations by authorizing a secondary key, known as a “Regular Key,” in activities such as freezing balances. The issuer’s Master Key, meanwhile, can be held securely offline to significantly reduce its exposure to security risks. The new standard will use XRPL’s native multi-signature functionality through Signer Lists, where issuers can set requirements like approvals for altering token settings or executing token clawbacks. An explainer shared by Ripple engineer Kenny Lei on X stated that any MPT account can issue tokens, allowing issuers to create large quantities and varieties from a single address. However, they cannot hold their own tokens, and sending coins back to the issuer results in their automatic burn. Operational management encourages issuers to use separate hot wallets for holding their own assets. Burned tokens are treated as having been returned to the issuer for accountability. More importantly, holders cannot be forced to accept tokens, and they must first establish a transaction that signals their willingness to hold them. Each MPT issuance is uniquely identified by a 192-bit Issuance ID, a distinct identifier for every issuance. Currency codes on MPTs can be displayed through metadata, but the system does not guarantee uniqueness of those codes. Issuers also have the option to configure a supply cap to ensure that the number of tokens in circulation never exceeds a set limit. Tokens can be burned and reissued, although their circulation will always come below the established cap. As XRPL launches MPT tokens, Ripple’s chief technology officer, David Schwartz, is saying goodbye to the development team after 13 years of service. He was one of the original architects of the XRP Ledger in June 2012, alongside Jed McCaleb and Arthur Britt, in June 2012. In a post on X, Schwartz revealed that he will retire from day-to-day responsibilities by the end of the year. The CTO said he had been “taking stock of my last 40 years” and called his time at Ripple a “wild ride.” Get $50 free to trade crypto when you sign up to Bybit now Disclaimer.
