Climate change wreaking havoc on world’s water cycle: UN | Climate Crisis News

Last year’s record heat led to prolonged droughts and extreme floods across the globe.

Climate change is making the Earth’s water cycle increasingly erratic, resulting in extreme swings between deluge and drought across the world, the United Nations has warned.

The UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in a report released on Thursday that the global water cycle was becoming ever more unpredictable, with shrinking glaciers, droughts, unbalanced river basins and severe floods wreaking havoc.

“The world’s water resources are under growing pressure and, at the same time, more extreme water-related hazards are having an increasing impact on lives and livelihoods,” WMO chief Celeste Saulo said in a statement accompanying the release of the annual State of Global Water Resources report.

The international group of scientists assessed freshwater availability and water storage across the world, including lakes, river flow, groundwater, soil moisture, snow cover and ice melt.

Last year was the hottest on record, leading to prolonged droughts in northern parts of South America, the Amazon Basin and Southern Africa.

Parts of Central Africa, Europe and Asia, meanwhile, were dealing with wetter weather than usual, being hit with devastating floods or deadly storms, said the report.

At a global level, WMO said, 2024 was the sixth consecutive year where there had been a “clear imbalance” in the world’s river basins.

“Two-thirds have too much or too little water – reflecting the increasingly erratic hydrological cycle,” it said.

While the world has natural cycles of climate variability from year to year, long-term trends outlined in the report indicate that the water cycle, at a global scale, is accelerating.

Stefan Uhlenbrook, WMO director of hydrology in the water and cryosphere division, said scientists feel it is “increasingly difficult to predict”.

“It’s more erratic, so either too much or too low on average flow per year,” he said.

As global warming drives higher global temperatures, the atmosphere can hold more water, leading either to longer dry periods or more intense rainfall.

Uhlenbrook said: “The climate changing is everything changing, and that has an impact on the water cycle dynamics.”

The WMO also flagged how the water quality in vital lakes was declining due to warmer weather, and glaciers shrank across all regions for the third year in a row.

The meltwater had added about 1.2mm to the global sea level in a single year, contributing to flooding risk for hundreds of millions of people living in coastal zones, the report warned.

The WMO called for more monitoring and data sharing across the board.

“Understanding and quantifying water resources and hydrological extremes … is critical for managing risks,” the report said, flagging the dangers of droughts, floods and glacier loss.

From farms to fork: a food-lover’s cycle tour of Herefordshire | Cycling holidays

It’s farm-to-fork dining at its freshest. I’m sitting at a vast outdoor table in Herefordshire looking out over rows of vines. On the horizon, the Malvern Hills ripple towards the Black Mountains; in front of me is a selection of local produce: cheeses from Monkland Dairy, 6 miles away, salad leaves from Lane Cottage (8 miles), charcuterie from Trealy Farm (39 miles), cherries from Moorcourt Farm (3 miles), broccoli quiche (2 miles) and glasses of sparkling wine, cassis and apple juice made just footsteps away. This off-grid feast is the final stop on White Heron Estate’s ebike farm tour – and I’m getting the lie of the land with every bite.

Before eating, our small group pedalled along a two-hour route so pastorally pretty it would make Old MacDonald sigh. Skirting purple-hued borage fields, we’ve zipped in and out of woodland, down rows of apple trees and over patches of camomile, and learned how poo from White Heron’s chickens is burnt in biomass boilers to generate heat. “Providing habitats for wildlife is important, but we need to produce food as well,” says our guide Jo Hilditch, who swapped a career in PR for farming when she inherited the family estate 30 years ago.

The tours offer an immersive way of seeing British agriculture in action. Pausing in the estate’s blackcurrant fields, Jo pulls bottles of chilled Ribena from a basket for us to drink (White Heron produces 5% of Ribena’s blackcurrant supply) and encourages us to taste the fruit: fat and sweet, the berries are a whole different entity to the wincingly sharp little beads growing in my own garden.

So lyrical do I wax about the blackcurrants that, after I arrive at my accommodation for the night, the estate’s homely Field Cottage, there’s a knock at the door: the delivery of a punnet to take home. I add it to the cottage’s guest hamper, which is brimming with tangy Worcester Hop cheese, local raspberries, some of the estate’s own apple juice and a miniature of its treacly, sharp-sweet cassis.

I don’t have to worry about working it off. The following day I’m back on the ebike on a new self-guided ride around north Herefordshire. One of a handful of routes the estate has curated around the region’s farm shops, cider-makers, cheese producers and farm-to-fork restaurants, the trails link up some delectable pit stops in different corners of the county, some of which feature on Visit Herefordshire’s new food safaris.

The estate’s ebikes come into their own on some of the rougher tracks

Setting out while the early morning mist is still loitering over the estate’s orchards, I swing over an old grass-covered railway line on to a quiet lane running between fields of hay, then wheel along to pretty Pembridge, with its rows of tipsy-angled black-and-white buildings. As if by arrangement, the bells start ringing from the church’s stand-alone belfry as I pass, giving the impression of a medieval rocket about to launch. I stop in the village stores to pick up a loaf from Peter Cooks Bread and a coffee at Bloom & Grind before pedalling on to Eardisland.

The mist lifts as I arrive, revealing a picturesque swirl of half-timbered buildings, a dainty 17th-century dovecote and an elegant bridge over the River Arrow. There’s no time to dawdle, though. I’m only partway into my 29-mile route and it’s mid-morning already.

I cycle down blissfully empty lanes to Monkland Dairy, set up three decades ago by ex-teacher Kaz Hindle and her husband, Mark. Having “bought a cheese shop because of a drunken dinner”, Kaz tells me the dairy came about when one of the shop’s employees mentioned her grandmother’s 1917 recipe for cheese. The grandmother turned out to be Ellen Yeld, one-time “chief dairy instructress” for Herefordshire, so the recipe was a good one. The Hindles refined it further to produce Little Hereford, a cheddar-like cheese that’s now the dairy’s flagship product.

With Kaz semi-retired, the cheesemaking side of things has been taken over by ex-chef and former customer Dean Storey. Showing me the cheese cave and the dairy’s vintage cast-iron presses, Storey tells that me he makes 30 to 40 Little Herefords a week and up to 300 of the dairy’s deliciously creamy blue monks, plus some “more controversial” cheeses such as ones featuring garlic and chive; “My kids love it in pasta,” he says.

Resisting the urge to order the cafe’s signature ploughman’s, I hop back on my bike. Lunch beckons a few fields further on. The Riverside at Aymestrey is a pretty black-and-white inn beside the River Lugg. The hillside above it operates as a semi-wild kitchen garden. Among a bounty of damsons, cobnuts, jerusalem artichokes, fennel, lovage, kale, gooseberries and apples are pigs and chickens. “The garden started as a lockdown project and now we have 2.5 acres (1 hectare),” says chef-patron Andy Link, as he shows me around. “It means we can work in food metres rather than food miles.”

Soup at the Riverside at Aymestrey, which is supplied by its own semi-wild kitchen garden

I’m transported back to the garden when I bite into an appetiser of summer veg croustade – a mouthful of crunchy peas, beans and mint enveloped with crushed seeds. It’s followed by trout cured in gin and lemon verbena, with gooseberries and tendrils of sea purslane, then fall-apart local beef fillet and cheek from a farm 11 miles away. But it’s the dainty, cloud-like savarin I have for dessert that keeps this hyper-Herefordshire meal on my mind as I wobble back on to my bike for the ride back to White Heron; it’s soaked in a delicate syrup flavoured with pine tips.

The following morning, I do some foraging of my own, driving south to Longtown to meet wild food expert Liz Knight, of Forage Fine Foods, on her local patch. As we walk out along an old drovers’ road to the fields past her converted barn, Liz teaches me to look at the landscape not just as a view but as a foodscape. There may be an extraordinary panorama of the Cat’s Back hill across the valley, but we try to keep our eyes down: beneath our feet is pineapple weed, whose fruity flowers can be used to top salads or spice up cordials, broadleaf plantain, which can be fried like kale chips, and docks, whose ground seeds can be baked in bread and crackers.

At one point, we come across an ancient linden tree, whose colossal gnarled trunk makes it a contender for the real-life Magic Faraway Tree, though Liz says that its real sorcery lies in its cucumber-scented flowers; delicious on salads, they are also said to help calm the nervous system. Nearby is a patch of yarrow. A forager’s cure-all, yarrow’s many medicinal properties include calming bites and stings, balancing hormones and soothing sore throats. Picking a few heads, we stroll back to Liz’s kitchen to steep the flowers with honeysuckle in vodka to use as a tincture.

Back home that evening, I make a salad using radishes, runner beans and soft dorstone cheese from the Oakchurch Farm Shop, another pin on Herefordshire’s food safari map. As I slice the veg, I think of everyone I’ve met over the last few days. Seeing such careful tending of food first-hand has left me not just with the lie of the land, I realise, but with the experience of truly savouring it too.

The trip was provided by White Heron; its two- to three-hour ebike farm tour and tasting is £50pp; full-day slow cycle rides £80pp; self-catering accommodation sleeps four, from £509 for three nights. Half-day foraging courses with Liz Knight from £55pp. For more information see visitherefordshire.co.uk

Gang Violence Traps Minna in a Cycle of Bloodshed

The day after Eid al-Fitr, a festive period for Muslims, is usually quiet; a time for rest, reflection, and recovery for most tailors who had had sleepless nights to ensure people looked colourful during the celebrations. For Abubakar Ibrahim, this March, it became a day etched in trauma.

It began as a brawl between two boys from neighbouring communities, Tunga Sabon Titi and Maje, divided only by a narrow stretch of road in Minna, the capital of Niger State in North Central Nigeria. The brawl quickly escalated into a full-blown gang clash, drawing in allies and sympathisers from both sides.

Ibrahim, a tailor and student in his early twenties, was at home when the commotion began. “I was heading somewhere when I heard the rants ‘karya ne wallahi, Ba sulhu [It’s a lie, no reconciliation]’,” he recalled. “While all this was happening, vigilantes were trying to disperse the crowd as we stood and watched.”

Moments later, gunfire shattered the air. He never saw it coming; six pellets from a Dane gun tore into him. Two lodged near his clavicle, the rest in his lap. “I didn’t realise I was hit until someone drew my attention while we were running,” he told HumAngle. “Then I felt dizzy, my leg went numb, and I collapsed.”

Residents told HumAngle that Mada, a local vigilante, had been aiming at the gang when his bullet missed and struck Ibrahim, who had no part in the clash or any gang activity. He was simply trying to earn a living, yet became another innocent casualty in a pattern of violence that has become disturbingly familiar in Minna.

Tracing the origins

Investigations by HumAngle trace the roots of Minna’s gang violence to long-standing turf rivalries between youths in neighbourhoods in the mid-2000s, when loosely organised gangs, locally called Yan Daba, engaged in sporadic confrontations, largely confined to street-level disputes.

Over time, the scale and lethality of these conflicts grew. Neighbourhood rivalries now pit entire communities such as Limawa, Unguwan Daji, Bosso, Soje, Kpakungu, Barikin Sale, against each other. Festive periods, school closures, and political transitions frequently trigger violent episodes, often leaving deaths, injuries, and property destruction in their wake. Some sources within these communities said the violence sometimes happens as weekend fights over petty theft, insults, or territory.

These confrontations have also spilt into schools, with rivals asserting dominance through violence. Schools such as Zarumai Model in Bosso, Government Day Secondary School in Unguwan Daji, Father O’Connell Science College (formerly Government Secondary School), and Hill Top Model Schools have all witnessed inter-school violent gang clashes, sometimes ending in serious injuries or deaths.

HumAngle has previously documented the activities of a gang with the same name in northwestern Nigeria’s Kano, where they terrorised neighbourhoods, showing that this style of youth-driven violence is not confined to one city.

These gangs are usually armed with daggers, cutlasses, and sharp weapons like scissors, animal horns, and screwdrivers. 

This violence is not confined to the past. In a pre-dawn sting operation in April, police officers in Niger State arrested 24 suspected criminals linked to thuggery and armed robbery in Maitumbi, a troubled suburb of Minna. The coordinated raid, led by the Anti-Thuggery Unit and backed by local police divisions and vigilantes, targeted crime hotspots like Angwan-Roka, Kwari-Berger, Flamingo, and Tudun Wada, following a surge in youth violence and gang activity, according to police spokesperson Wasiu Abiodun.

In March, the state Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education shut down Government Day Secondary School, Bosso Road, and Father O’Connell Science College in Minna, after assessing ongoing conflicts between students and local youths, some posing as students.

Although many incidents go unreported, they continue to claim lives and property.

In April last year, a violent clash between rival gangs in the Maitumbi area left two dead, with shops, vehicles, and tricycles damaged. The police confirmed the arrest of six suspects connected to the incident and stated that efforts were underway to apprehend others involved. 

Later in December, a 15-year-old boy, Saidu Ubu, was killed in another fight between rival groups from Gurgudu and Kwari-Berger. The altercation, which began as a minor dispute late at night, quickly escalated into a brutal fight that caused panic among residents. By the time police arrived, the attackers had fled.

More recently, police arrested 18-year-old Jamilu Abdullahi, known as Zabo, over alleged armed robbery, culpable homicide, and gang violence in several of the affected communities.

Caught in the fix

For residents like Ibrahim, these flare-ups are more than news headlines; they are life-altering. After he collapsed due to the gunshots, his brother rushed to the scene and took him to Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida Specialist Hospital, a nearby public medical facility.  

But the ordeal was far from over. 

When they arrived at the hospital, they were told that there were no doctors available to attend to him at the moment. “They only gave me some injections but didn’t attempt to remove the bullets,” Ibrahim recounted. 

Four days later, still in pain, his family turned to a local hunter in nearby Wushishi known for removing Dane gun pellets. The hunter succeeded where the hospital had failed.

“I was unconscious when I arrived at the hospital,” Ibrahim said. “I only woke up there. But the bullets stayed in me for four days until they were removed by the local hunter.”

The recovery was slow and painful. Ibrahim missed his exams, adding academic loss to physical trauma. “It took me a while [over a month] to recover,” he said quietly.

The vigilante accused of shooting him was reportedly arrested, but Ibrahim has heard nothing since; no justice, no closure. 

Residents who spoke to HumAngle expressed concerns over the lingering menace that has not only continued to affect their loved ones but has also left them worried about having to raise their children in such an environment.

“I do not want my child to grow up witnessing this violence and someday be influenced to partake in it. It will break my heart,” said Danlami Shittu, a designer whose shop is just metres away from where Ibrahim was shot. “Every festive period, we hold our breath. These boys do not just fight; they settle old scores. Yet those of us who are not involved still pay the price.”

Aminu Muhammad, a consultant in peace and conflict management, said the roots of this crisis lie deep within the decay of societal values and systemic neglect and a defect in the state’s justice and security frameworks.

He identified poor parenting as a primary driver of youth delinquency in the city, noting that many parents in the city are disengaged from their children’s lives, unaware of where they live or who they associate with.

This parental neglect has created a vacuum filled by peer influence and street culture, pushing many youths toward gang affiliation. “You must first take care of your children before they become more acceptable in society,” he told HumAngle.

Beyond the home, Dr. Aminu, who is also a lecturer at the Abdullahi Kure University, Minna, revealed that lack of access to education and vocational training has left many young people idle and vulnerable. Those who cannot enrol in formal schools are rarely offered alternatives to learn trades or acquire skills that could make them self-reliant. This absence of opportunity often translates into frustration and a turn toward violence.

Dr. Aminu also points to the failure of security agencies and the justice system. 

“When there are calls to security personnel during violent encounters, the response is often delayed. These delays allow attackers to escape and victims to retaliate, perpetuating a cycle of violence,” he added. “Even when arrests are made, the lack of stern punishment mechanisms undermines accountability. These guys are granted bail or discharged without much consequence. Influential persons and even government officials sometimes intervene to secure their release.”

To stem the tide of violence, the conflict management consultant suggested a multi-pronged approach: stronger parental involvement, public sensitisation through the National Orientation Agency, and a tougher security and judicial framework. Without this, he warns, Minna risks losing its identity as a peaceful city and its youth to the streets. 

Bello Abdullahi, the state’s Commissioner for Homeland Security, did not respond to multiple calls and messages requesting official comments on the issue.

For Ibrahim, the physical wounds have healed, and he has returned to his tailoring, but the emotional scars will outlast the headlines. And for other casualties of this violence, their stories never even make it that far.

“I want peace. Not just for me, but for all of us,” Ibrahim said.

Solana Could Hit $300 This Cycle, Snorter Emerges as Top SOL Ecosystem Play

With growing activity across decentralized apps, NFT platforms, and a fresh wave of meme coin launches, analysts say a Solana run to $300 isn’t out of the question. If the trends from six months ago are replicated, we could see a new all-time high for SOL, a record previously set at $294 in January this year.

Much of the momentum this cycle is again tied to meme coins, and with the launch of platforms like LetsBONK, Solana’s part in the meme coin economy is increasing rapidly. As over 40,000 new tokens launch each day on Solana, most are destined to fail, some are scams, but a few deliver big returns.

Snorter Bot (SNORT) is emerging as an indispensable automated trading bot aimed at sniping that 1% of meme coins that make it big. With sub-second speed, tools to block honeypots and rugpulls, and over $2 million raised, the Snorter Bot presale is grabbing attention as the top new utility project in Solana’s meme coin space.

Solana’s $300 Target a Reality as Meme Coins and DeFi Projects Multiply

Solana’s speed and low fees have made it a favorite for both developers and traders. Its rise has gone hand in hand with the success of platforms like Jupiter, a fully-fledged DeFi platform, and Huma Finance, a decentralized protocol for global payments, and the top-6 crypto still enjoys immense institutional and retail support.

In a game-changing development, tokenized stocks have recently gone live on Solana, enabling users to purchase their favorite stocks, such as Tesla, Nvidia, or Amazon, without requiring a traditional brokerage account. Users can buy these tokens on Jupiter or any other DeFi platform on Solana, using a variety of assets, including USDC and SOL, as well as meme coins like BONK and PENGU.

Even the technical charts point to further gains for SOL. A popular Solana analyst, jussy, predicted that Solana could push towards $263 if it breaks resistance at $180. Having just crossed $190, a continuation of its rise towards high $250s could give SOL further momentum to break the magical $300 mark.

The recent rise of ETFs paints SOL’s new climb towards an ATH in a completely different light. Now, with Solana ETFs attracting $78 million in inflows within a few days of their launch and new institutions filing for a Solana ETF, the door to boundless capital from traditional investors has been wide open.

But nothing moves the charts like meme coins. Tokens like BONK and PENGU recently overtook TRUMP as the two largest meme coins on Solana. Bonk’s launchpad LetsBONK is seeing a surge in revenue, too, and it consistently pushes past $400 million in 24-hour trading volume.

The meme meta is what drove Solana to its all-time highs at $294, and it appears that the meme meta will be instrumental in propelling Solana to $300 this time.

However, over 40,000 meme coins are being created daily on the Solana blockchain. It’s chaos where most of the coins have no future. A recent report from Solidus Labs flagged widespread rugpulls and pump-and-dump activity across more than 98% of the tokens launched via Pump.fun, another meme coin launchpad on Solana.

But within that chaos, there’s also an opportunity, as a small percentage of golden goose tokens can return life-changing upside. Around 300 of these elusive coins reach bonding within 24 hours and continue to the next phase, according to the Jup Pro analytics platform.

To survive the trenches and thrive, manual trading and gut feeling may no longer be enough. That’s where Snorter Bot comes in. This Telegram-native bot features automated tools designed to collect the best coins at launch and uses built-in protection against honeypots and rug pulls, providing retail traders with an edge that was long overdue.

Could Snorter Become the Next Big Solana Token?

As the name suggests, Snorter Bot is a trading bot built for Solana. It’s native to the Telegram app, meaning it transforms the chat app into a full crypto trading terminal where users can snipe meme coins and swap tokens with MEV protection.

The bot delivers sub-second execution speed thanks to its own RPC architecture, enabling its users to outspeed platforms like Jupiter. Additionally, the bot offers rugpull and honeypot detection mechanisms which have proven an 85% effectiveness in eliminating scams and malicious tokens.

Another useful feature is its portfolio tracker, where users can easily monitor their cost basis, PnL, and open positions without resorting to an external app or site. And that’s the beauty of its Telegram integration: there’s no need for complex wallet setups or a flood of browser tabs, it’s all within the chat app.

Initially, Snorter Bot will begin operation on Solana. However, the team plans to expand to EVM-compatible chains, such as Ethereum, BNB, Polygon, and Base. There it will be able to capture an even larger portion of the meme coin market and simplify cross-chain meme coin trading for its users.

SNORT Token Cranks the Features Up to Eleven

The SNORT token is a utlity token used to power and manage Snorter Bot’s wide array of features. It’s multi-chain token, available on both Solana and Ethereum, and gives its holders premium access to unlimited token snipes and advanced portfolio analytics.

For those looking for passive income opportunities, holding SNORT unlocks staking rewards, as well as copy trading capabilities, an extremely welcome feature that is rarely seen outside of centralized exchanges. With Snorter Bot, users can copy the traders of their favorite trader while keeping their assets in a non-custodial wallet.

Snorter Bot also leads the way in fees. With SNORT, users can enjoy fees as low as 85%, a considerable discount from the full 1.5%, whereas standard industry fees often go up to 2%.

The analysts at 99Bitcoins see fundamental value in the SNORT token and believe it can take a serious share of the meme coin market.

Snorter Token Next 10X Potential Crypto?! NEW Solana Meme Crypto Trading Bot!!

Why SNORT Could be the Top Solana Meme Coin

Most meme coins offer no tools, no product, and rarely any use beyond price speculation. Snorter Bot flips that model by building real trading infrastructure in a market where speed and protection matter more than ever.

With LetsBONK and Pump.fun showing that the Solana meme coin moment could experience its biggest charge yet, bots like Snorter could become the core tools for traders looking to discover the next big coins and turn a profit. And with over $2 million raised in its presale, this is one of the top Solana projects right now.

Interested investors can buy SNORT using SOL, ETH, BNB, USDT, USDC, or a bank card. Visit the Snorter Bot presale site and connect your wallet to make the purchase. Early investors can increase their holdings while the presale lasts by staking for a dynamic yield of 186%.

Alternatively, download Best Wallet and buy SNORT from the Upcoming Tokens tab.

Best Crypto to Buy Now: Why TOKEN6900 Could Outperform Dogecoin in This Cycle

Meme coin enthusiasts are celebrating Dogecoin’s (DOGE) rally toward its five-month high, as it gained about 90% from its June lows. All of the top 10 meme coins by market cap were up double-digits over the past week, pushing the entire sector’s valuation above $84 billion.

This bullish sentiment toward meme coins isn’t happening in isolation. Bitcoin dominance slipped to around 60% on July 21, while CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index shows a gradual trend shift in favor of altcoins.

Against this backdrop, investors are enthusiastically backing TOKEN6900 (T6900), a satirical meme coin that’s building on the success of the SPX6900 (SPX) token. While Dogecoin continues to enjoy global recognition and SPX is hitting all-time highs, TOKEN6900’s minimalist manifesto and rapidly growing crypto presale could allow it to outperform the veteran meme coin in the current leg of the bull cycle.

Analyst Eyes Bullish Dogecoin Target After This Breakout

Dogecoin’s price gained around 8% over the past day, showing sustained momentum following a dip in late June. From a technical standpoint, Dogecoin has broken out of a “double bottom” formation, piercing the $0.25 neckline that had formed since March.

Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade notes that DOGE confirmed the double bottom by closing a daily candle above $0.249 and retesting the neckline, now eyeing a technical price target around $0.476 in the coming weeks.

This breakout triggered a wave of buy orders, coinciding with a 24-hour volume spike of over 2 billion DOGE.

In the meantime, corporate interest in Dogecoin is further adding to the bullish expectations for the meme coin. Recently, US-listed entity Bit Origin Ltd’s stock experienced a double-digit gain after it acquired roughly 40.5 million DOGE for its treasury.

Another catalyst for DOGE is the growing optimism around a spot-based Dogecoin ETF. Prediction markets are now assigning an 80% probability to a DOGE ETF approval in 2025, especially following the recent successes of Ethereum and XRP products.

But opportunistic investors recognize that, despite these bullish catalysts, Dogecoin’s upside is still limited compared to that of a low-cap meme coin. This is why they’re now shifting their focus to TOKEN6900, a viral meme coin that’s about to reach the $1 million raise milestone in its presale.

TOKEN6900: The Anti‑Index Meme Coin With Viral Momentum

TOKEN6900 has secured more than $925,000 in its recently launched presale, while riding the broader optimism that has re-energized the meme coin market.

The meme coin openly embraces the absurdity of meme coins, branding itself as the anti-S&P 500 token that doesn’t track any index or pretend to solve real-world problems. This honest narrative has drawn comparisons to the recent sensation SPX6900, another viral meme coin which TOKEN6900 “one-ups” by having one extra token in total supply.

SPX6900 has skyrocketed by over 692% in just the past four months, hitting a brand-new ATH of $2.03 on July 20. Since its inception two years ago, SPX6900 has delivered a staggering 75,658,386% return, lifting its market cap to more than $1.8 billion. An early $100 investment in SPX would be worth over $75 million today.

What’s worth noting is that the term “spx6900” has seen an uptrend on Google search, and crypto analysts predict buying interest will spill over to T6900 next. With altcoin season already underway and retail traders on the hunt for the next big altcoin to explode, T6900 positions itself as a rare high-upside opportunity.

A micro-cap like TOKEN6900 could outperform Dogecoin by orders of magnitude if momentum and community fandom continue to build. To buy T6900 and enter at a position that could yield millions, visit the TOKEN6900 official presale page and connect a compatible Web3 wallet (like Best Wallet).

Buyers can also immediately stake their holdings for a high annual reward of up to 66% without waiting for the presale to end.
