Asuene Inc. is excited to announce its strategic acquisition of E4G, Inc., an innovative startup that emerged from the Tanaka Kenji Laboratory at the University of Tokyo. E4G specializes in AI-driven data collection and analysis for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics, as well as developing software for decarbonization roadmaps.
Background of the Acquisition
Asuene offers a diverse range of products, including “ASUENE,” a carbon accounting platform, “ASUENE ESG,” an evaluation cloud service, and “ASUENE CAREER,” which provides talent recruiting support for your decarbonization and ESG initiatives. By providing a one-stop solution for sustainability, “ASUENE” has supported the decarbonization and ESG management efforts of over 9,000 companies. Meanwhile, “ASUENE ESG” has exceeded 14,000 companies and holds the top position in the industry.
In recent years, the importance of ESG metrics as a basis for corporate evaluation has significantly increased, leading to a rapid rise in demand among businesses and financial institutions for efficient collection, analysis, management, and disclosure of ESG data. However, the lack of standardization and normalization in ESG data collection makes this process extremely challenging. Many companies face considerable time and cost burdens as they must manually gather vast amounts of information for competitor comparisons and industry analyses, all while requiring ongoing data collection and analysis.
Furthermore, in the context of decarbonization, visualizing CO2 emissions and developing as well as implementing emission reduction roadmaps have become increasingly crucial for companies. The complexity of formulating these reduction plans has led to rising challenges, as organizations often lack the necessary expertise to proceed effectively.
In light of these social trends and customer challenges, we have determined that integrating E4G— which possesses strong services and technological foundations in ESG data and CO2 emissions reduction—will significantly enhance the value we provide to our customers and further expand our platform. This realization has driven us to pursue the acquisition of E4G.
Objectives Achieved Through the Acquisition
Enhanced ESG Data Solutions
The acquisition enables Asuene to incorporate E4G’s ESG data capabilities into its current platform, creating a more comprehensive solution for businesses. This integration will allow organizations to efficiently gather and analyze non-financial indicators, assess competitors, and simplify evaluations of corporate value.
Strengthening Decarbonization Support
The combined expertise of Asuene and E4G will offer a comprehensive solution for managing decarbonization, addressing everything from visualizing CO2 emissions to developing and executing reduction strategies.
Fostering University-Industry Collaboration
The collaboration with E4G, supported by advanced technology and a strong data foundation, will expedite the development and societal implementation of decarbonization and ESG solutions.
Comments from E4G and Asuene Representatives
I am truly delighted to join the Asuene Group. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all stakeholders, including our customers, partner companies, team members, and shareholders.
In light of the global ESG movement, companies are being called upon to undergo further transformation. By collaborating with Asuene, which is rapidly expanding its operations on the global stage and driving societal GX initiatives, E4G will continue to advance our vision of ‘DATA DRIVEN GX.
Representative, E4G, Inc.
I am honored that E4G has chosen to join the Asuene Group. As the significance of ESG data and GHG reduction continues to grow both in Japan and worldwide, E4G’s expertise in analyzing ESG data disclosure and developing reduction roadmaps will be essential for a comprehensive assessment of corporate sustainability. This expertise will also play a key role in evaluating corporate value, risks, and investment potential.
Alongside Daichi Obara, the CEO of E4G, we look forward to creating new value in the areas of decarbonization and ESG data.
Founder & CEO, Asuene, Inc.

Today, Ethereum price is increasing while the crypto market is in the red zone. Is this condition proof that Ethereum can reach the level of $ 2,600?
Since Iran’s attack on Israel, Ethereum price has been affected and experienced a decline as the crypto market has been very volatile this week. However, surprisingly today the price of Ethereum has increased, even leaving Bitcoin which has fallen in price.
Will Ethereum break through $2,600 as holders of this token hope? Read the complete analysis in this article until the end.
Will Ethereum (ETH) Price Break $2,600
Long-term holders (LTHs) of Ethereum often determine how the ETH token will be priced in the future. There are indicators of LTH behavior. Currently, Ethereum LTH is showing an accumulation mode which is providing a positive signal to the Ethereum price.
The more long-term holders who HODL will also make the price of ETH increase because it means there is long-term trust in this token.
However, investor sentiment towards Ethereum also varies. Although many investors HODL, there is a negative sentiment from investors regarding Ethereum’s ability to reach $2,600. This is because the price of Ethereum decreased by 7.3% from October 1 to 8.
The Impact of an HBO Documentary and the Price of Ethereum
This article was written on October 9, 2024, just when HBO scheduled its newest documentary entitled “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery” to be broadcast.
The film is said to reveal who Satoshi Nakamoto is. The figures believed to be Satoshi Nakamoto are Len Sassaman, Hal Finney, and Adam Back.
This HBO film created a riot among crypto fans. It was stated that the documentary could influence Bitcoin price to Ethereum. Will the prices of BTC, ETH, and other crypto tokens drop when the film is finally shown by HBO?
Ethereum Price Chart Today
When this article was written, Ethereum experienced a price increase of +0.42% so that it was trading at $2,434. Even though the increase did not reach 1%, this can be said to be good news because the majority of crypto tokens today experienced a price decline, including BTC, SOL, and USDT.
However, the increase in Ethereum prices has not been calm. Because, if you look at the ETH price chart above, the RSI and MACD indicators actually show unpleasant signs.
Ethereum’s RSI is 41.9 points lower than 50, which means there is a large selling trend, more dominant than the buying trend. The MACD line is also declining. If this continues to happen, Ethereum will face a bearish trend.
Ethereum Versus Bitcoin
Ethereum has become the leading altcoin and is predicted to be an alternative coin that can beat Bitcoin. And as expected, the two tokens are always compared regarding their price ups and downs.
In terms of average price increases, the price of Bitcoin has increased by 128% from year to year, while Ethereum is only 53%.
Since it was first launched in July 2015, Ethereum has been able to reach the $1,300 level in 2.5 years since it was first launched. Ethereum reached the level of $4,891 in November 2021 but had to be willing to drop drastically to $900 in 2022 due to unstable world economic conditions.
Conclusion
That is an explanation of the price of Ethereum which has increased today and predictions of reaching the $2,600 level. You can do more in-depth research about Ethereum, from checking prices in real time to finding out about the latest ETH projects only on the Bitrue website.
Bitrue also provides a price conversion feature ETH to USD so you don’t need to change websites to check it. Understand more details about how to buy Ethereum before investing in this token.

CATS token is officially listed on Bitrue and other global crypto exchanges. How is the current CATS price? Is it still experiencing a fantastic increase like during the pre-market? Here is the explanation.
CATS was officially listed on October 8th on a number of global crypto exchanges, including Bitrue. Just before the listing, CATS price shocked crypto users with a fantastic price increase of up to 691%.
This increase coincided with an increase in trading in the crypto ecosystem which increased by 13 times.
So, what is the current price of CATS? How do CATS users react to the current token price conditions?
Check out the explanation in this article. It will also explain how to maximize profits by depositing CATS tokens.
What is CATS?
What is CATS? CATS Telegram is a Telegram-based mini-application designed specifically for cat lovers and crypto fans.
The app offers a fun and interactive way to earn CATS tokens, a cryptocurrency built on The Open Network (TON) blockchain network.
Having a simple interface, CATS can be played by anyone, even those who are not familiar with Telegram games. CATS combines the fun of keeping a cat with the profit potential of the crypto world.
The CATS Telegram workflow is very simple, namely:
1. Earn CATS Points: When you first join, you will get several CATS points based on your previous activity on Telegram.
2. Interesting Tasks: You can earn more CATS points by completing various simple and fun tasks, such as inviting friends, participating in quizzes, or uploading photos of your cat.
3. Redeem Points: The CATS points you collect can be exchanged for real CATS tokens.
4. Active Community: CATS has a very active and growing community, so you can interact with other users, share experiences, and take part in various interesting events.
What is the Price of CATS Today?
CATS fans were disappointed because the price of CATS did not match expectations as was the excitement during the pre-market with an increase of almost 700%.
However, CATS USDT recorded an increase today and was traded at $0.00012797 with an increase of 27.97%.
Even though the price of this token is rising, you have to be quite alert. The reason is, as seen from the CATS price graph above the CATS RSI indicator is actually below 50, which means the selling trend is more dominant than the buying trend.
The CATS MACD line also looks like it is about to cross the border line in a descending manner. If it continues like this, a bearish CATS trend could occur in the future rather than a bullish trend.
About Airdrop CATS Season 2
Airdrop CATS season 1 has ended and all prizes have been distributed to winners along with CATS listing on crypto exchange. Now, CATS is preparing Season 2, which of course will also have an airdrop event.

The crypto market is currently not doing well. However, the price of SUI has been steadily increasing in the past month. What is the reason for this increase in the price of the token?
Amid the crypto market, which is currently red, a piece of good news came from SUI. SUI Price experienced a significant increase of up to 20% in the last 24 hours when BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, and USDT experienced a price decline.
What is the reason behind this spike in token prices? Read the explanation in this article until the end.
Why are SUI prices increasing?
In terms of market capitalization, SUI is ranked 18th. Even though it has not yet entered the top ten, in the last month, SUI’s performance is considered very good. This is because SUI experienced an increase of up to 124% during that time.
There are several reasons why SUI prices have increased, one of which is the news that the USDC Circle stablecoin will be launched on the Sui Network. The announcement of this launch was made on September 17 and since then, the price of SUI tokens has experienced a steady increase until now.
The launch of USDC is considered important because it is classified as the second largest token in the world as a currency that is used significantly in on-chain transactions besides USDT. SUI, which has experienced a smart contract network, makes investors optimistic about the innovations that will occur in the future.
Apart from the news of the launch of USDC on the SUI network, support from one of the global crypto exchanges also makes SUI even more prominent among investors.
Current SUI Price Chart
At the time of writing, SUI was trading at $2.0134 with an increase of +3.79%. The highest price was $2.1646 in the last 24 hours.
It can be seen from the capture above taken from Market Bitrue, SUI currently has a positive outlook price chart. The RSI indicator is at 59, which means the buying trend dominates positively compared to the selling trend.
The MACD SUI indicator also appears to be climbing upwards. SUI token holders must get ready because a bullish SUI trend will occur.
Current Crypto Market Conditions
As mentioned at the beginning, currently the crypto market is red. Large tokens, such as BTC, ETH, and SOL experienced significant price declines.
Bitcoin Price currently is $62,213 with a decline of -2.22%, Ethereum price was $2,422 with a decline of -2.54%. The decline in SOL is higher, namely -4.06%, and currently Solana is trading at $142.86.
This condition occurs due to several factors, one of which is because the conflict between Iran and Israel has continued to heat up since October 1. October is much awaited as a happy month with its #Uptober.
However, given the nature of the crypto ecosystem’s reaction to conflict between countries, will #Uptober still happen? You can follow the latest conditions in the crypto ecosystem by reading Bitrue articles.
