Bitcoin has halted declines near $19,700 and is holding above $20,000. Ethereum is again recovering faster than the 'king of cryptocurrencies' by limiting its dominance, the token is trading near $1,600:
- Meta Platforms (META.US), the erstwhile Facebook continues its efforts to implement the 'new Internet' known as Web 3.0 and meta-expression. The company has added synergistic Ethereum and Polygon as interoperable ecosystems in the exchange of NFT tokens between users of the company's apps, Instagram and Facebook;
- In the face of Mark Zuckerberg's declaration, part of the cryptocurrency market expected Meta to work on a proprietary blockchain ecosystem and not use existing infrastructure. However, the facts show that using existing blockchains is more profitable, and Meta Platforms' interest in Ethereum-Polygon interoperability may indicate its growing adoption;
- Cardano overtook Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies in a ranking built by the MBLM agency. The ranking was to verify users' identification with the products they use, as well as their relationship and commitment to the brand. Blockchain Cardano ranked 25th out of nearly 600 leading global brands from 19 industries. Bitcoin ranked 30th. Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson points out that Cardano was guided from the beginning by the idea of decentralization and co-creation of a fair financial system. Blockchain Cardano has overtaken the sentiment of investors and users of brands like Google and eBay. Cardano is preparing to implement the Vasil hard fork.

Polygon chart, W1 interval. The cryptocurrency, which is strongly correlated with the Ethereum blockchain, has been in a strong downtrend since the beginning of the year, but is still doing better than Cardano.
