Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency based on the popular "Doge" Internet meme and features a Shiba Inu on its logo. Dogecoin is a Litecoin fork. Introduced as a "joke currency" on 6 December 2013, Dogecoin quickly developed its own online community and reached a capitalization of US$60 million in January 2014. Compared with other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin had a fast initial coin production schedule: 100 billion coins were in circulation by mid-2015, with an additional 5.256 billion coins every year thereafter. As of 30 June 2015, the 100 billionth Dogecoin had been mined.   Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon and  Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia. Both wanted to create a fun cryptocurrency that will appeal beyond the core Bitcoin audience. Dogecoin is primarily used as a tipping system on Reddit and Twitter where users tip each other for creating or sharing good content. The community is very active in organising fundraising activities for deserving causes.  The developers of Dogecoin haven’t made any major changes to the coin since 2015. This means that Dogecoin could get left behind and is why Shibas are leaving Dogecoin to join more advanced platforms like Ethereum. One of Dogecoin strengths is its relaxed and fun-loving community. However, this is also a weakness because other currencies are way more professional.  To purchase Dogecoin, it involves downloading a crypto wallet, setting up a crypto exchange account and then trading away for your desired crypto currency. Once we have set up an account with a DOGE currency exchange and deposited some funds, you are ready to start trading.

What Is Tezos (XTZ)?   Tezos is a high-performing blockchain and open-source platform for assets and applications, with a strong focus on code security, on-chain governance, and decentralization. Tezos 2.0, the upcoming step in the evolution of Tezos, aims to improve scalability (via layer 2s), composability, and to implement support to mainstream programming languages (like Javascript, Typescript, Python, and many others).   Initially built with formal verification in mind, the Tezos protocol enables builders to avoid bugs when developing smart contracts, making it particularly suited to applications that require a high degree of security and certainty.   Tezos’ LPoS (Liquid Proof-of-Stake) consensus mechanism enables any stakeholder to take part, directly or by delegation, in the consensus process, and to be rewarded for securing the network. Rather uniquely, Tezos’ on-chain governance system also enables stakeholders to create and vote on protocol upgrade proposals. This pioneering system allows the protocol to self-amend and upgrade itself without leading to a split (or fork) in the blockchain, empowering the community without slowing down innovation.   First proposed in 2014 and launched in 2018, the Tezos Mainnet has a proven track record of running uninterrupted ever since, having earned a strong reputation for technical excellence and a supportive community.    Who Are the Founders of Tezos? Tezos was conceived by Arthur and Kathleen Breitman in a 2014 white paper under the pseudonym L.M. Goodman in a nod to Satoshi Nakamoto, referencing a journalist who had misidentified the creator of Bitcoin.   In a previous paper, the Breitmans had argued that Bitcoin's biggest shortcomings were the lack of a governance process that invited contributions from its community of users, cost and centralization issues raised by its proof-of-work system, the limited expressiveness of its programming language which didn’t allow for smart contracts, and security

Altimmune Gears Up to Report Q2 Earnings: Here's What to Expect

ALT readies Q2 report as investors await fresh updates on pemvidutide program in obesity and liver disease studies.

Altimmune, Inc. (ALT) on Thursday said that its mid-stage study of Pemvidutide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) yielded mixed results, sending shares down 57% in morning trade.Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a serious liver disease characterized by fat accumulation in the liver accompanied by inflammation and cell damage.The trial enrolled 212 participants with biopsy-confirmed MASH and fibrosis stages F2/F3 with and without diabetes. F2 and F3 fibrosis refer to stages of liver fibrosis, with F2 indicating moderate scarring and F3 indicating severe scarring.Up to 59.1% patients enrolled in the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ir.altimmune.com/news-releases/news-release-details/altimmune-announces-positive-topline-results-impact-phase-2b">study</a> achieved MASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis at 24 weeks, as compared to merely 19.1% for placebo.However, the percentage of participants in the trial who achieved fibrosis improvement without worsening of MASH in an intent-to-treat analysis as compared to placebo was not statistically significant.Furthermore, only a total of 25.8% and 24.1% of participants receiving pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg, respectively, achieved the endpoint of both MASH resolution and fibrosis improvement, versus 13.5% in participants receiving placebo.Treatment with the drug, however, resulted in weight loss, with a mean weight loss of up to 6.2% in Pemvidutide-treated participants, compared to 1.0% in the placebo arm.Pemvidutide also demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability, with 0.0% and 1.2% adverse events (AE) related discontinuations in the pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg groups versus 2.4% in the placebo group, and there were no serious adverse events (SAEs) related to study medication, the company said.Scott Harris, Chief Medical Officer of Altimmune, expressed optimism about the company holding an end-of-mid-stage trial meeting with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2025 and rapid progression to late-stage trials following the data.Pemvidutide is an investigational drug in development for the treatment of MASH, obesity, Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), and Alcohol-associated Liver Disease (ALD).On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ALT">Altimmune</a> jumped from ‘bullish’ to ‘extremely bullish’ over the past 24 hours while message volume rose from ‘high’ to ‘extremely high’ levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:626/66;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_06_26_at_8_59_53_AM_png_cf1065258b.webp" alt="ALT's Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 9:00 a.m. ET on June 26, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="626" height="66"><figcaption>ALT's Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 9:00 a.m. ET on June 26, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure> A Stocktwits user, however, opined that the fibrosis improvement data, which was the only thing “worth looking forward to”, was poor, and they see no ground to start a position.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Ag035/message/619068912</stembedurl>ALT stock is down by 54% this year and by 47% over the past 12 months.Read Next: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/general-motors-recalls-over-62000-silverado-trucks-in-us-over-fire-concerns/chmOVMWRR4j">General Motors Recalls Over 62,000 Silverado Trucks In US Over Fire Concerns</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Altimmune Stock Plummets After Mixed Results In Liver Disease Trial: Retail Sees ‘Nothing Of Substance’ To Start A Position

Altimmune, Inc. (ALT) on Thursday said that its mid-stage study of Pemvidutide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) yielded mixed results, sending shares down 57% in morning trade.

Equity

Up to 59.1% patients enrolled in the study achieved metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis resolution without worsening of fibrosis at 24 weeks, as compared to merely 19.1% for placebo.

Altimmune shares jumped during after-hours trading on Wednesday after the biotech firm said it would disclose top-line results from its 24-week Phase 2b IMPACT trial of pemvidutide for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) on Thursday.The stock climbed 7.2% on Tuesday to close at $7.71&nbsp;and extended its rally after hours with a 5.7% gain to $8.15.The upcoming readout is seen as a key milestone for the company’s lead asset, pemvidutide, a GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist being evaluated across multiple liver and metabolic indications, including obesity, alcohol use disorder (AUD), and alcohol-related liver disease (ALD).<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ALT">Altimmune</a> launched the RECLAIM Phase 2 trial of pemvidutide in AUD in May, aiming to reduce alcohol consumption in a population underserved by current treatment options.&nbsp;The company also plans to begin a Phase 2 study in ALD later this year.Altimmune’s Chief Medical Officer, Scott Harris, previously noted that pemvidutide showed promising reductions in alcohol preference in preclinical models, suggesting potential crossover benefits for metabolic and addictive disorders.Investors will be watching closely on Thursday for signs of efficacy in liver fat reduction, inflammation, and fibrosis, which are endpoints that could position pemvidutide as a competitive candidate in the growing MASH treatment landscape.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘extremely bullish’ amid ‘extremely high’ message volume.One user said if the data were negative, the company might have quietly published the topline results and followed up later with a management call to explain next steps.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Micabella/message/619038659</stembedurl>They suggested the only potential delay could be around fibrosis data, which may require the full 48-week readout.Another trader pointed out that if the data were negative, the company might have pushed the announcement into next week’s July 4th holiday lull, when market activity is typically lower.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Calvary316/message/619038510</stembedurl>Releasing it this Thursday instead, they argued, gives the stock another day to run, a move they believe hints at strong results.The stock has risen 8.4% so far in 2025.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Will Healthy Y/Y Revenue Growth Boost Keysight's Q2 Earnings? 

Shares of Altimmune Inc. are down more than 23% this year, but that has not deterred retail investors from losing&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/alt-stock-rises-after-q4-2024-earnings/chdgfF2RyA">hope</a> in the clinical-stage biotech company.The company has gained traction for its lead candidate,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/alt-stock-rises-on-phase-2-obesity-drug-trial-data/c7zs1ZqRP8">pemvidutide</a>, a GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist being developed for obesity and MASH. In a mid-stage trial, the drug showed that it helped patients reduce their weight by more than 15%.&nbsp;At its R&amp;D Day last week, Altimmune provided more cheer as it unveiled plans to test pemvidutide for treating alcohol use disorder and alcohol-associated liver disease in the second and third quarters of this year.According to The Fly, Evercore ISI said it likes Altimmune's latest expansion and suggested that pemvidutide could rake in more revenue for the new goals than MASH, as 35 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from alcohol use disorder and alcohol-associated liver disease.The research firm added that there is some preclinical and anecdotal evidence to support its thesis.Assuming all goes well, Altimmune will need to fund a Phase 3 program later this year in addition to the AUD/ALD studies, said Evercore, which has an Outperform rating on the shares and a price target of $25.Retail investors on Stocktwits — where Altimmune has over 36,000 followers — have long speculated that the company could be a takeover target.
