Punks and Apes are now luvvvv

Hello, my young OG! 🖼

The NFT market is slumping; I think you can see why. Or are the jpegs about to take another round? The news is as juicy as peaches from your grandmother's garden! Or yours... okay, gibberish aside.

Jpeg is coursing through your veins!

WHAT WHAT

Market this week

ONE FAM ONE LUV

BAYC has bought the rights to CryptoPunks and Meebits

Bored Ape Yacht Club (Yuga Labs) bought the rights to CryptoPunks and Meebits from Larva Labs. Terms were not disclosed. It is known that Yuga Labs got the copyright of all the jpegs of these collections and 423 CryptoPunks, and 1711 Meebits. Bluechip you can't afford, haha.

Some big news to share today: Yuga has acquired the CryptoPunks and Meebits collections from @LarvaLabs, and the first thing we’re doing is giving full commercial rights to the NFT holders. Just like we did for BAYC and MAYC owners. pic.twitter.com/lAIKKvoEDj

RICH TALK

Stripes and NFTs

Stripe, a not insignificant financial company, has flirted with crypto in the past and then changed its mind, has decided to change its mind again.

Stripe has launched crypto services, offering businesses the ability to use Stripe as a payment method for cryptocurrency and NFT transactions and offering payment services for Web3, KYC, and fraud protection.

To facilitate its Web3 services, Stripe has announced deals with FTX, FTX US, Nifty Gateway, Just Mining and Blockchain.com. If this is not a severe bid to mass adoption, what is?

GABE, GO AWAY!

FTX is the future of crypto Steam?

The FTX exchange launched a dedicated gaming division in February, and today they announced that they had managed to lure Steve Sadin to join them. Well, he previously worked as an executive at WB Games.

The new head is already making high-profile statements: "We're allowing developers to create in-game assets that players will pass on to their future grandchildren."

NFT in PC games is not new and is being actively explored by Ubisoft, for example.

Wen is the NFT collection with Sam's hair?

WHAT WE HAVE?
