An undercurrent of optimism seems to be pervading the crypto market, despite price targets for leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin moving lower. Notably, a Dogecoin whale recently accumulated 90M DOGE amid a market collapse, causing a surge of positivity about the coin's future prospects. Optimism, an Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, has been gaining attention, with developments such as the implementation of 'fault proofs' and the token's listing on OKX. Several traders and investors are also expressing bullish sentiment towards Bitcoin, likely buoyed by a 75% majority betting on a price increase. Furthermore, the Celo community has ratified a plan to use the OP Stack by Optimism for a new layer-2 chain, signaling confidence in the Optimism's scaling solution. Despite this, the cryptocurrency has not been without its turbulence, as it saw a 33% crash following token unlocks. Looking forward, with new Superchain features for layer-3 developers being rolled out, and the setting aside of $3B for grants to blockchain builders, the future seems promising for Optimism.
