Husky Inu AI (HINU) has completed its latest scheduled price increase within its ongoing pre-launch phase, moving from $0.00024028 to $0.00024300. This incremental rise is part of a structured fundraising strategy that began on April 1, 2025, following a successful presale. The pre-launch phase is designed to continue capital raising while engaging the community and funding platform development, market initiatives, and ecosystem expansion.
To date, the project has raised $907,935, with fundraising described as sluggish but showing recent positive momentum. Key milestones include crossing $750,000 on May 16, $800,000 on June 15, reaching $850,000 in July, and surpassing $900,000 in October. The official launch is tentatively set for March 27, 2026, though the team has indicated flexibility on the date. A series of review meetings are guiding the timeline, with the third scheduled for January 1, 2026.
Meanwhile, the broader cryptocurrency market experienced significant volatility around the Christmas holiday. On Christmas Day, Bitcoin (BTC) traded above $88,000 but fell sharply on Boxing Day to a low of $86,897 before rebounding strongly to reclaim levels above $89,000. Ethereum (ETH) followed a similar pattern, dipping to around $2,900 before recovering to near $2,983. The market recovery saw several major altcoins, including Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and Chainlink (LINK), trading in positive territory, though others like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA) remained in the red. Overall market sentiment, however, remains rooted in "extreme fear," according to data sources.
