Uniswap V3 Eyes Polygon zkEVM Deployment

Polygon Labs made a tempting offer to Uniswap V3, suggesting a deployment on its recently developed zkEVM Ethereum rollup. Judging by the enthusiastic response from $UNI voters, the feeling seems mutual. Stay tuned for more updates on this collaboration!


Ethereum Turns Bullish After Shapella Upgrade, But Future Remains Uncertain

Post-Shapella, Ethereum enjoyed a brief bull run, with $ETH surging by over 5% and crossing the $2,000 mark. However, the current price sits around $1,846, leaving the future somewhat unclear.



Market Cools Off After Weeks of Gains

Following an eventful week with declining US inflation rates and Ethereum's Shapella upgrade, both BTC and ETH experienced significant drops. BTC slumped to below $28,000, while ETH dipped below $1,900. Many altcoins have faced similar or more significant losses. Stay safe out there!

That's a wrap for this week's DeFi and crypto highlights! We hope you found these updates insightful and enjoyable. Keep an eye on your inbox for more weekly updates, and as always, stay informed and stay connected!
