Emerging and established altcoins have also caught their attention. New cryptos, in particular, are a favourite among strategic investors because of their large growth potential. They are capable of multifold surges, unlike high-cap cryptos. For example, BTC has gained just above 100% in a year. Dogwifhat––a brand-new meme coin in early 2024––has recorded more than 1000% returns in less than a year.

Maharashtra Assembly election, held on November 20, is shaping up to be a highly competitive contest, with the state’s two major alliances—the BJP-led Mahayuti coalition and the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA)—dominantly vying for power. However, smaller parties could play a crucial role in influencing the results, potentially altering the political landscape and emerging as key players in the formation of the next government in Maharashtra. Notably, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), led by Raj Thackeray, the Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi (VBA), headed by Prakash Ambedkar, and Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) could become significant forces in the state.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are go-to cryptos. However, that’s not where multifold gains are made; not at this point. Their large market caps limit their growth potential. New cryptos backed by substantial projects have a history of stealing the spotlight in bull markets. Which altcoins will take off in early 2025? Here are three top picks, based on presale activity.

cybersecurity professionals. However, the talent pool doesn’t seem that diverse in this sector. It is important to understand what kind of roles are in demand for women, the skills they must acquire and the challenges they face when trying to build a career in cybersecurity. Women continue to be significantly underrepresented in the cybersecurity sector, holding only 20-25% of roles at present, says Bhavesh Goswami, Founder and CEO of CloudThat. While this number is projected to reach 30% by 2025, he says achieving true gender parity is still a distant goal; and it’s likely that we’ll reach a 50% representation only by 2030. Pankit Desai, CEO & Co-Founder at Sequretek, says the representation of women in cybersecurity has seen significant growth from the single digits seen a few years ago, reflecting the industry's gradual progress toward greater diversity. About 23-24% of Sequretek’s workforce is made up of women. However, he says the challenge is in leadership roles, where female representation continues to stay in the single digits, indicating the need to foster a truly inclusive environment in cybersecurity.
