Yesterday, the price of BTC fell sharply, once falling below $49,000. Altcoins were also affected, with most tokens falling by more than 30%. It is still unclear whether the market has bottomed out. At this time, it may be a good choice to wait and see, reduce transactions, pay attention to high-financing projects that have not issued coins, and participate in related interactions. Therefore, Odaily Planet Daily has sorted out two projects worth participating in this week based on financing conditions, project popularity, etc.: OKX Web3 Wallet No. 20 Activity Bitlayer Interaction, MapleStory Universe Season 4 New Tasks.
