1. Bitcoin and Ethereum have continued to be key focal points in the market. Bitcoin has seen a slight pullback after a strong rally, but it's still hovering around significant support levels. Meanwhile, Ethereum has been performing well, showing resilience with an 11% gain in the past week, even as other major cryptocurrencies like Solana and Bitcoin SV faced declines. This performance highlights Ethereum's strength, especially with its layer 2 networks continuing to gain traction​ (CoinDesk)​ (Cryptonews).
  2. Alephium has integrated oracles into its network, which could be a game-changer by providing real-time data feeds to smart contracts, enhancing the functionality of decentralized applications on its platform. This move is part of a broader trend where oracles are becoming increasingly critical in the DeFi ecosystem​ (Watcher Guru).
  3. Opulous is launching OVAULT V2 with new staking options, including a 20% staking bonus and the ability to unstake at any time. This is aimed at attracting more users to participate in their ecosystem by offering flexible and lucrative staking options​ (Watcher Guru).

These developments indicate ongoing innovation and resilience in the crypto space, despite recent market volatility.
