From Tennis Ball Launchers to Tokenized Equities: What Connexa Sports (YYAI) – Now AiRWA – Means for Investors in 2025

From Tennis Ball Launchers to Tokenized Equities: What Connexa Sports (YYAI) – Now AiRWA – Means for Investors in 2025

Stock Price & Recent Performance A micro‑cap stock in free‑fall After trading between $1 and $3 for much of August 2025, Connexa Sports’ share price crashed when it announced a $500 million joint‑venture with crypto exchange JuCoin to build the AiRWA real‑world‑asset (RWA) platform. The combination of extreme volatility, negligible support levels and negative technical indicators means YYAI is behaving like a speculative penny stock rather than an established sports‑technology player.

Dogecoin Whales Rock the Price – Is a $0.30 Breakout Next?

Roller-Coaster Week for DOGE Prices Early October 2025 has been a roller-coaster ride for Dogecoin. After steadily rising into the first week of “Uptober” – even briefly peaking around $0.2701 – the meme-inspired cryptocurrency was met with intense selling pressure at that level coindesk.com. On October 7, large holders (“whales”) apparently took profits en masse near the $0.27 resistance, triggering a sharp intraday drop of about 8% coindesk.com.
