Dawgz AI vs PlutoChain: A Comparison of Potential Investments
With a presale that raised over $2.6 million, early investors are showing confidence in the project's combination of machine learning and meme culture. While Dawgz AI gains momentum, PlutoChain ($PLUTO) is already live on Uniswap and attracting attention for its Layer-2 solution for Bitcoin, offering fast transactions, EVM compatibility, and DeFi infrastructure.

Investors Turn to Stablecoins and Tokenized Real-World Assets Amid Trump Tariff Announcement
Cryptocurrency investors are increasingly shifting their investments towards stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) to avoid volatility ahead of US President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement on April 2.
