The post Ethereum Millionaires’ Focus Turns Towards Ozak AI Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto wealth has long been tied to Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency via market cap and the inspiration of decentralized finance and smart contracts. Many early Ethereum traders became millionaires by means of buying in at only some bucks in keeping with the token and persevering through a couple of bull runs.  Now, as ETH trades around $4,500 and analysts venture a pass toward $10K in the next cycle, Ethereum millionaires are diversifying into new possibilities with higher upside ability. One mission catching their attention is Ozak AI (OZ)—a presale token priced at simply $0.01, which has already raised over $3.2 million and offered more than 900 million tokens. With forecasts of 100× returns, Ozak AI is fast becoming the next important recognition for high-net-worth crypto traders. Why Ethereum Millionaires Are Looking Beyond ETH Ethereum remains a cornerstone of the digital asset space, with unmatched adoption across DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 applications. However, its sheer size and established market cap limit its short-term explosive growth potential. From its current levels, Ethereum may deliver 2× to 3× gains by reaching $10K, but for those already holding millions in ETH, the real appeal lies in finding early-stage projects that can multiply their wealth even further. That’s where presales like Ozak AI come in—offering ground-floor opportunities at a fraction of the cost of established tokens, with the possibility of exponential returns. Ozak AI Presale Surpasses $3.2M Ozak AI’s presale momentum has been extraordinary, with the project raising more than $3.2 million and selling over 900 million tokens in Stage 6. At OZ presale price of $0.01, investors can secure large allocations before the token lists on exchanges, where valuations are expected to rise significantly. The project is designed to merge artificial intelligence with blockchain technology, creating smarter and more adaptive decentralized applications. This…

(Photo credit: WAKIL KOHSAR/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images On October 30, 2025, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan, Richard Bennett, in his report to the U.N. General Assembly, warned against normalizing Taliban de facto authorities. As he emphasized, “The severity of the situation cannot be overstated. Dismantling the Taliban’s institutionalized system of gender persecution, and addressing the country’s myriad human rights crises, demands urgent, principled and sustained international attention and action – not normalization of the de facto authorities.” The warning comes only a few months after Russia recognized the Taliban, and a few other countries are also exploring this option. The new report comments on the deteriorating human rights situation in Afghanistan, caused mainly by the Taliban’s discriminatory and repressive policies and practices. It reports on the issue of an increasingly entrenched, institutionalized system of gender-based discrimination, oppression and domination of women and girls in the country. As the Special Rapporteur noted, all the wide-ranging restrictions imposed on women and girls remain in effect. It further adds that in recent months, the Taliban has intensified the implementation of the 2024 Law on the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. Among others, in July 2025, the de facto authorities in Kabul arrested dozens of women and girls deemed to be wearing “improper” hijabs. The Taliban engage the general public in the implementation of the laws, with instructions being issued to “shopkeepers, drivers and others not to allow access or provide services to women without a mahram. In some instances, women deemed to be violating Taliban-imposed dress codes were prevented from gaining…
