Aftermath Silver Ltd (TSX-V:AAG, OTCQX:AAGFF) told investors it was “honored” to be ranked 32nd in the 2024 TSX Venture 50, a list of the top-performing companies on the TSX Venture Exchange over the past year.
The TSX Venture 50 highlights the strongest performers among more than 1,600 TSXV-listed companies.
"The Aftermath team is honored to be included in the TSX Venture 50 for 2024," said CEO Ralph Rushton.
"In 2024, we delivered a 63% increase in our share price for our shareholders, and we hope to continue to deliver attractive shareholder returns in 2025 as we work toward transforming Aftermath into a critical metals producer."
The company is advancing its Berenguela project in southern Peru, a potentially open-pittable silver-copper-manganese deposit. Aftermath has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the project through an agreement with SSR Mining.
Metallurgical test work is ongoing to refine the extraction of silver and copper, as well as to develop a commercial battery-grade or fertilizer-grade manganese product. The site is located near key infrastructure, including road, rail, and power lines, and is about four hours from Arequipa by

XRP remains in the spotlight as on-chain activity surges, with major holders shifting their positions amid ongoing market consolidation.
But while XRP’s price action dominates headlines, another altcoin is attracting crypto whales at an unprecedented pace—JetBolt (JBOLT). With more than 300 million JBOLT tokens already sold during its presale, many crypto watchers are taking notice of JetBolt’s potential to reshape Web3 transactions.
With whale wallets offloading millions of XRP, is the market preparing for a breakout or a deeper correction? And as JetBolt’s presale surpasses 300 million tokens sold, what makes this new blockchain contender so appealing to crypto whales? Let’s explore the insights shaping XRP and JetBolt in 2025.
XRP News Today: On-Chain Activity Billows
Right now, XRP is hovering around $3.11, with traders keeping a close eye on whether it can push higher or if a cooldown is on the horizon. On-chain data shows that some whale wallets—those holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP—have offloaded around 60 million tokens in the past month. This big shift raises the question: are these large holders taking profits, or are they just making room for another move?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve left its benchmark interest rate unchanged Wednesday after cutting it three times in a row last year, a sign of a more cautious approach as the Fed seeks to gauge where inflation is headed and what policies President Donald Trump may pursue.
In a statement, the Fed said the job market is “solid,” and noted that the unemployment rate “has stabilized at a low level in recent months.” The Fed also appeared to toughen its assessment of inflation, saying that it “remains somewhat elevated.” Both a healthier job market and more stubborn inflation typically would imply fewer Fed rate cuts in the coming months.
In a news conference Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell largely deflected questions about recent comments from President Trump, including one from last week, when Trump said he would lower oil prices and then “demand” lower rates. He also said he would speak with Powell about it.

Last week, real estate tech company Fathom Holdings (NASDAQ: FTHM) announced that it has added Bitcoin to its list of assets to buy. Just like Nuvve, Fathom did not make this decision until it sought the approval of its Board of Directors. Moreover, the firm is allocating 50% of its excess cash to this cause.
Fathom wants to buy up to $500,000 worth of BTC or Bitcoin ETFs in the next two weeks, with plans to increase over time. The firm’s CFO Joanne Zach acknowledged that Bitcoin is becoming more accepted as a decentralized store of value, with growing interest in other digital currencies.
Similarly, Japanese financial firm Metaplanet Inc. recently announced a landmark capital raise in the Asian equity market to increase its Bitcoin holdings. It plans to acquire 10,000 BTC by the end of this year. A few others, like healthcare companies Semler Scientific and Cosmos Health, have equally announced their respective Bitcoin-buying strategies.

V2G technology firm Nuvve announces Board approval to invest in Bitcoin and accept it as payment, following MicroStrategy’s lead among Nasdaq-listed companies.
Nuvve Holding Corp. is the latest Nasdaq-listed firm to follow in the footsteps of the business intelligence and software company MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ: MSTR regarding its Bitcoin BTC $102 682 24h volatility: 0.0% Market cap: $2.04 T Vol. 24h: $42.11 B bets.
Earlier on January 28, the Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology firm, known for its green energy with electric vehicle charging tech, announced that its Board of Directors had approved its adoption of Bitcoin as part of its treasury reserve.
Nuvve Joins Nasdaq-Listed Firms with Bitcoin Agenda
The plan is to use up to 30% of its spare cash to purchase Bitcoin, while it also accepts the flagship cryptocurrency as a payment method.
Nuvve executives are certain that this move would help diversify its treasury holdings. Meanwhile, the plan to adopt Bitcoin may have brought some traction to the company, as its stock price suddenly witnessed a 3% increase.
For a stock that has faced volatility struggles in the last few weeks, analysts commend this noticeable rally for NVVE. However, it remains 13% down over the last month and 51% in six months. At the time of this writing, the stock has registered a 1.81% increase and was trading at $2.81.
By all means, the number of Nasdaq-listed companies copying MicroStrategy, which started buying BTC in August 2020, is increasing.
A couple of them perceive the strategy as a means to get better returns for their shareholders. MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holding, now valued at around $48 billion, spans five years of consistent acquisition and accumulation.

DeepSeek, a little-known Chinese startup, has sent shockwaves through the global tech sector with the release of an artificial intelligence (AI) model whose capabilities rival the creations of Google and OpenAI.
DeepSeek-R1’s creator says its model was developed using less advanced, and fewer, computer chips than employed by tech giants in the United States.
In a research paper released last week, the model’s development team said they had spent less than $6m on computing power to train the model – a fraction of the multibillion-dollar AI budgets enjoyed by US tech giants such as OpenAI and Google, the creators of ChatGPT and Gemini, respectively.

$ETH
Ethereum Foundation executed strategic sales of 300 ETH in 2025 while maintaining massive holdings of 269,175 ETH worth $800+ million
Technical patterns suggest potential price targets of $3,600-4,000 if $2,800 support holds
Historical data shows February and March typically deliver strong returns, with February 2024 seeing a 46.3% gain
Trump’s World Liberty Financial has entered the ETH market through buying/staking
The upcoming Pectra upgrade in March 2025 and potential ETF inflows could impact market dynamics
The Ethereum market continues to show resilience in early 2025, maintaining price levels above $3,100 despite recent sales by the Ethereum Foundation. Data from on-chain analytics platform Spot On Chain reveals that the Foundation has sold 300 ETH valued at $981,200 through three separate transactions this year, with the most recent sale converting 100 ETH to 307,893 DAI.
These sales, however, represent only a fraction of the Foundation’s holdings. According to Arkham Intelligence, the organization maintains a robust position of 269,175 ETH, currently valued at more than $800 million. This substantial holding suggests the recent sales are part of a measured strategy rather than a shift in the Foundation’s long-term outlook.
Technical analysts have identified several promising patterns in Ethereum’s price action. A notable flag and pole formation has emerged during the current downtrend from the $4,100 resistance level, with $2,800 establishing itself as a key support zone. Should this support hold, analysts project potential upside targets at $3,600, with some suggesting movement toward $4,000 is possible.
Historical data adds weight to the bullish case. Trader CoinMamba points out that February and March have historically delivered strong returns for ETH holders. In fact, February has only posted negative returns once, during the 2018 market cycle, following a 50% price surge in January of that year. The pattern showed consistency in 2024, with ETH gaining 46.3% during February.

Should this support hold, analysts project potential upside targets at $3,600, with some suggesting movement toward $4,000 is possible.
Historical data adds weight to the bullish case. Trader CoinMamba points out that February and March have historically delivered strong returns for ETH holders. In fact, February has only posted negative returns once, during the 2018 market cycle, following a 50% price surge in January of that year. The pattern showed consistency in 2024, with ETH gaining 46.3% during February.

Among 29 economies measured, nine countries show significant gains in consumer sentiment, while just three countries show a notable decline.
Based only on the “legacy 20 countries” tracked since March 2010, the Index would read at 46.4, up 0.6 point since December.
After declining in the previous two months, the Current and Investment indices both show significant gains this month. In contrast, the Expectations and Jobs indices both show stability this month.
Sentiment is up in Latin America. Colombia (+3.9 points), Argentina (+3.7 points) and Peru (+3.4 points) are all up significantly. No Latin American country shows a significant loss this month.
Consumer confidence is also largely up in Europe. Hungary (+4.0 points, Great Britain (+3.3 points), Germany (+3.3 points), Sweden (+2.7 points) and France (+2.0 points) all show significant gains. Similar to Latin America, no European country is down significantly.
In contrast, consumer confidence has declined in North America. The U.S. (-3.2 points) and Canada (-2.8 points) are both down significantly this month.
The Global Consumer Confidence Index is the average of all surveyed countries’ Overall or “National” indices.

Latest Press Release
Updated : 2024-12-23
Concerns about the future returned
The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index® declined by 8.1 points in December to 104.7 (1985=100). The Present Situation Index—based on consumers’ assessment of current business and labor market conditions—fell 1.2 points to 140.2. The Expectations Index—based on consumers’ short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions—tumbled 12.6 points to 81.1, just above the threshold of 80 that usually signals a recession ahead. The cutoff date for preliminary results was December 16, 2024.
“The recent rebound in consumer confidence was not sustained in December as the Index dropped back to the middle of the range that has prevailed over the past two years,” said Dana M. Peterson, Chief Economist at The Conference Board. “While weaker consumer assessments of the present situation and expectations contributed to the decline, the expectations component saw the sharpest drop. Consumer views of current labor market conditions continued to improve, consistent with recent jobs and unemployment data, but their assessment of business conditions weakened. Compared to last month, consumers in December were substantially less optimistic about future business conditions and incomes. Moreover, pessimism about future employment prospects returned after cautious optimism prevailed in October and November.”
Among age groups, December’s fall in confidence was led by consumers over 35 years old; consumers under 35 became more confident. Among income groups, the decline was concentrated in consumers with household earnings between $25K and $100K, while consumers at the bottom and top of the income range reported only limited changes in confidence. On a six-month moving average basis, consumers aged under 35 and those earning over $100K remained the most confident

The Index of Consumer Expectations focuses on three areas: how consumers view prospects for their own financial situation, how they view prospects for the general economy over the near term, and their view of prospects for the economy over the long term.

The samples for the Surveys of Consumers are statistically designed to be representative of all American households, excluding those in Alaska and Hawaii. Each month, a minimum of 500 interviews are conducted by telephone.
