The cryptocurrency market started the week with a downturn as Bitcoin (BTC) slipped from $66,000 to below $64,000. Altcoins followed suit, though some are defying the trend. One such standout is EigenLayer (EIGEN), which saw a price surge after Binance announced it would be listing the token. Additionally, Binance released important updates for 10 other altcoins, sparking investor interest.
