Paradex’s DIME token launch is expected as early as next week, while the OPN token launch is rumored to be in early March. Additionally, S4 airdrop requests for RESOLV will open on March 5th, and Avantis’ second AVNT airdrop will also be available on March 5th.
On the macro front, the US jobless rate data will be released on February 6th.
