Published

on


X Empire, a popular tap-to-earn Telegram game, is set to be listed on major exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and Bitget. Over 4 million players have already linked their wallets, awaiting tokens.

Crypto analysts predict the initial price of X Empire’s token ($XEMP) to range between $0.47 and $0.55, comparing it to MemeFi, which has 11 million users. While X Empire has 9 million users, its YouTube channel has grown significantly with over 5 million subscribers.

Several factors will influence $XEMP’s price, such as trading volume, adoption rates, and market conditions. Given past issues like the Hamster Kombat airdrop, caution is advised. However, X Empire’s long-term success will depend on its fundamentals.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) says it will announce a new, lower petrol price on Monday, following the recent price slash by Dangote Refinery. Dangote Refinery had dropped its ex-depot price for petrol from N840 to N820 per litre on Thursday, prompting IPMAN to consider adjusting its rates in response.

Speaking on the development, IPMAN President, Abubakar Maigandi, said the association is aligning with the move and will meet to finalize a fresh price cut for petrol. “Our members will also reduce their prices,” Maigandi said. “We’ll make an official announcement on the new fuel price after our meeting on Monday.”

As of Friday, filling stations across Abuja were selling petrol at varying prices, between N905 and N945 per litre. While NNPC, NIPCO, AA Rano, and Shema outlets were dispensing around N910, Dangote-linked stations like AP and Ardova offered it slightly lower at N905. Others, including Ranoil, Empire Energy, and Total Emadeb, were selling at the higher end, up to N945.
