Jesse Jackson, the civil rights icon who helped lead the civil rights movement in the 1960s, died Tuesday aged 84, Politico reported.

A colleague of Martin Luther King Jr., Jackson was a key figure in the fight against racial inequality dating back to the 1950s and, until 2023, was the leader of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1971 that advocates for civil rights and social justice.

A member of the Democratic Party, Jackson was close to its progressive wing and had endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in his 2020 bid for the White House. After Sanders’ exit from the race, Jackson backed Joe Biden.

Jackson launched the Rainbow PUSH Coalition in honor of American activist Fred Hampton, a prominent leader of the Black Panther Party who was killed by law enforcement after extensive monitoring by the FBI, which viewed him as a threat.

Aster Price Surges After Airdrop and CZ Mention

Aster Price Surges After Airdrop and CZ Mention

The post Aster Price Surges After Airdrop and CZ Mention appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aster, previously referred to as APX, witnessed its token price soar on September 18, rising by over 360% in one day. The surge followed after the project started its airdrop program and from CZ. What’s Driving Aster Price Surge The token’s steep price action came after the token’s airdrop began, and it will run until October 17. Approximately 704 million tokens representing approximately 8.8% of the total supply are being sent to eligible users. These include members of Aster’s Spectra Stage 0 and 1 programs, owners of Aster Gems, and traders of Aster Pro. Adding fuel to the charge, CZ publicly congratulated the Aster team, further increasing visibility to the project. That validation, combined with the token distribution, driven the price surge. Fundamentals Behind the Rally Beyond the frenzy, Aster’s fundamentals have been improving. Based on statistics provided by DeFi Llama. Its perpetual futures platform has seen more than $12 billion worth of trading volume this month, an increase from $9.78 billion in August and $8.5 billion last July. Revenue has increased steeply as well. Fees earned this quarter total $8.82 million, up from only $1.8 million during the same time last year. In Q3 2024, Aster had only generated $11,660 in revenue, but today that number is up to $5.4 million. The total value locked (TVL) in the protocol has hit a record high of $1.85 billion, an astronomical increase from $141 million in January. What’s Next for Aster Analysts believe that the rally may prevail since Aster is now becoming available on additional exchanges, yet it is mainly traded on its own platform. Yet with recipients of the airdrop likely to take profits in place, there will be some pressure selling. Like other recently listed coins like WLFI, Spark, and Avantis, a good starting run will be followed…
