Rappers And Influencers Embrace NFTs At Tory Lanez BET After Party, Hosted By YAAAS
SINGAPORE, June 30, 2021 – Rapper Tory Lanez threw a BET after party presented by YAAAS, a brand new NFT marketplace for music artists and social influencers, at a private mansion in Bel Air last night. Lanez is a known innovator in the NFT space and is one of the first artists to have released tracks as NFTs.
Guests attending the after party included musician, Chris Brown, Jeremy Meeks, Chet Hanks, Kyle Massey and singer, Mario. Among others, iconic photographer Ellen von Unwerth, star designer Jeff Hamilton, and influencers Blake Grey and girlfriend Ameile Zilber, were also spotted together with fellow friends.
YAAAS is a brand new Non-Fungible Token (NFT) marketplace by WOM Protocol Pte. Ltd that connects social influencers and music artists with each other, as well as their communities, through the sale of experiences, collaborations and real-life meet and greets.
The YAAAS marketplace, which launched earlier this month, is currently in MVP and includes a variety of initial features to allow users to test and collectively shape its future development. Music artists, in particular, now have the opportunity to monetize their music by forming partnerships with social influencers in the community. Social influencers, meanwhile, will be able to trade TikTok Duet collaborations. By doing so, YAAAS allows them to monetize their skills, while helping other creators in the community make better videos.
In addition, the marketplace will also offer fans an avenue for engaging and building closer relationships with their favorite artists and influencers through the sale of meet and greets. Fans will also be able to organize in-person and online events.
YAAAS is designed to make NFTs accessible for creators and communities with limited crypto experience. For sellers, the process is fast and easy and simply requires users to set up an auction for their service, then set a minimum and buy now price. Buyers simply need to register with YAAAS and set up a payment method. Notably, the platform allows for fiat currencies as well as Ether, and ERC-20 tokens, including the WOM Token, which can be managed through a MetaMask wallet.
TikTok star, Swagboyq, said: “Every day I’m learning about crypto, about the stock market, when to take out, when to put in, I’m building knowledge. And you’re definitely going to see an NFT from me, 100%.”
Melanie Mohr, Founder & CEO of YAAAS, said: “We want to empower artists and influencers with a deeper knowledge of blockchain technology and NFTs. We want to show that there are new monetization models. And we want to bring their communities along on the journey.”

Qtum Ally Brings 12 AI Models and MCP Together in One Secure Desktop Application
The Qtum Foundation today announced the launch of Qtum Ally, a next-generation desktop AI agent designed to move beyond basic conversational tools toward true intelligent automation.
Unlike most cloud-based assistants, Ally runs directly on Windows and Mac, giving users greater privacy, performance, and control. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a universal interface standard that enables AI systems to interact with external data and tools, Ally provides seamless integration and coordination between multiple AI models.
With access to 12 leading large language models (LLMs) preloaded, Ally allows users to build advanced, multi-model workflows, host their own models, and connect MCP servers, all within a single, easy-to-install desktop app.
You can download Qtum Ally for Windows or Mac here: https://qtum.ai/download
“Qtum Ally makes productivity about orchestration, not overload,” said Miguel Palencia, Co-Founder of Qtum. “By bringing multiple LLMs into one refined workspace powered by MCP, we give users real control and simplicity. Ally eliminates clutter and turns AI into a genuine performance multiplier.”
Actionable AI Beyond Chat
Qtum Ally fully supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI models to do more than generate text – they can perform coordinated actions.
MCP functions like the “USB-C of AI,” a universal connector allowing models to share data and issue commands across software tools, APIs, and online services.
Using Ally’s built-in MCP hosts and servers, users can automate multi-step workflows, combine different AI models for reasoning, planning, and execution, and complete tasks with minimal input – for example, locate available rentals, generate a presentation, and automatically send it by email.
Ally comes pre-configured with several MCP hosts and lets users easily add more. Each host provides specific functions to connect local databases, APIs, or online data sources, turning Ally into a customizable automation hub.
Desktop Control and Data Privacy
Qtum Ally runs locally, not in the cloud, ensuring data privacy, transparency, and control. It operates natively on Windows and macOS, runs offline for secure and consistent performance, and collects no personal information beyond what is required by the models themselves.
This local-first design aligns with Qtum’s long-standing principles of user independence, decentralization, and open standards.
Access Premium AI for Free
Qtum Ally is free to download and use, and for a limited time, users can enjoy complimentary access to premium features from top models such as ChatGPT-5, Qwen, DeepSeek, Claude, and Gemini.
Download Qtum Ally directly from the official Qtum GitHub repository:
https://github.com/qtumproject/ai-agent/releases/tag/v0.0.6

BlockDAG Presale Nears $600M With Alpine F1® Sponsorship as Litecoin & Polygon Approach Critical Q4 Breakout Levels
Crypto markets are entering Q4 with volatility returning, and major altcoins are testing important resistance levels. Litecoin (LTC) has been consolidating strongly above $100, positioning for another push higher, while Polygon (POL) is compressing beneath the $0.28–$0.29 resistance zone.
Both projects carry credible catalysts: Litecoin benefits from a rising network hashrate, while Polygon has its Rio upgrade and token migration almost complete. Yet, the project commanding the most attention is BlockDAG (BDAG). Its presale has already raised more than $415M at a fixed $0.0013 price and secured a global sponsorship with the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team, placing it among the most impactful presales ever.
Polygon (POL) Price Forecast: Rio Upgrade & Token Migration
Polygon (POL) has traded between $0.24 and $0.29 for months, creating a setup where a breakout could be close. A weekly close above $0.29 would confirm a base breakout, opening initial upside toward the low $0.30s and extending toward $0.35–$0.39 if momentum continues. Failure to reclaim $0.29 keeps the price rotating within its established range.
Two catalysts stand out for Q4. The Rio upgrade, completed on testnet in September, is scheduled for mainnet deployment in October and aims to improve throughput and validator economics. In parallel, the MATIC → POL migration is now 99% complete, reducing supply risks and finalizing the new token economy.

Prediction for Q4: If Rio launches smoothly and POL breaks $0.29 with RSI above 50 and stronger volume, the breakout case strengthens. Otherwise, expect continued sideways trade within $0.24–$0.29.
Litecoin (LTC) Price Prediction: Network Growth Supports Breakout
Litecoin has spent the last several months consolidating between $103 and $125, building a stable base above $100. Key support remains between $103 and $106, with resistance at $125–$135, the level that capped its rallies in June. A weekly close above $125 would confirm bullish continuation, opening the path toward $150–$155, where prior 2024 supply remains.
Network security continues to improve. Hashrate has risen nearly 19% in the past 90 days, reaching multi-year highs. This growth in miner participation supports long-term chain health. Technical signals are constructive as well, with daily RSI neutral and price above the 50- and 100-day EMAs, leaving room for further upside.

Prediction for Q4: If LTC holds $103 and clears $125–$135 with volume support, a rally toward $150 is realistic. If support breaks, a pullback toward $95–$100 may occur before another move higher.
BlockDAG: The Presale Setting New Standards
BlockDAG (BDAG) is changing expectations for presale projects. With more than $415M raised, 26B+ coins sold, and 312,000 holders already onboarded, it is scaling at levels many Layer-1 networks only achieve years after launch. Adoption is visible across both retail and infrastructure: over 3M people mine through the X1 Mobile Miner app, and 20,000 hardware miners have shipped to 130+ countries.
The landmark sponsorship with the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team elevates BDAG beyond crypto circles, making it the first Layer-1 blockchain to secure a Formula 1® partnership. This places its brand before billions of fans each season, linking it with speed, global culture, and mainstream credibility.

At a fixed presale price of $0.0013, with less than $200M left before the $600M cap, the opportunity is becoming increasingly limited. Analysts highlight that presales often accelerate in final phases, and BDAG’s momentum suggests sellout could come sooner than expected. With long-term speculation pointing to $1, the ROI potential exceeds 62,000%, making BDAG stand out as the best crypto presale of 2025.
Summing Up
Litecoin and Polygon both offer strong Q4 setups. Litecoin’s improving hashrate and supportive structure suggest a path to $150+, while Polygon’s Rio upgrade and POL migration provide catalysts for a breakout above $0.29. Both carry potential, though gains may be measured.
BlockDAG, however, is showing a different trajectory. With over $415M raised, adoption proven through millions of miners, and cultural visibility secured through the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team partnership, it is positioning itself as the best crypto presale of 2025. At $0.0013, BDAG presents a rare asymmetric opportunity in a market that rewards both adoption and credibility.
