🗽 Brands / Celebrities
-
Amazon is working on an initiative around NFTs & gaming. What could this mean for all of us? Well, imagine that OpenSea has about 2.5 million users. For Amazon, we're talking about 310 million. The company's Web3 ambitions would have an estimated launch sometime in the spring. According to 4 different sources, the folks at Amazon are calling the initiative "NFT enterprise". You know how it is, when you hear from 4 sources, it sounds more like a pre-press release. On sources!? CEO Andy Jassy had previously stated that Amazon is willing to sell NFTs and generally doesn't close the door to crypto.

Porsche went from being seen as a “rug pull” to a “blue chip” in less than 24 hours. After receiving live feedback from the community, the Porsche team decided to stop minting, and instead of the original 7500 NFTs announced, the collection stopped at 2363 and the giant's announcements brought more clarity in terms of usefulness. It seems that the on-chain data shows an artificial increase in floor price. At least initially. A wallet on which 110 ETH were deposited did sweep the floor for 50 NFTs. Already becoming a case study!

The NFTs-funded film Calladita won the top prize at the Sundance Film Festival in the Film3 category. The category was established last April when the Decentralized Pictures platform was funded with a $300k grant from Ocean's Eleven director Steven Soderbergh. The grant was split into 3 awards of $100k each. The film "Calladita" has been funded from sales of NFTs of approximately $750k to date, plus the newly awarded $100k.
🎵 Music NFTs
-
Showtime launches Pre-Save collectibles, a new way to earn NFTs for pre-saving a song on Spotify. Collectors will be entered into a raffle to win an edition of the album in question. As a main benefit, besides promotion, not needing a wallet, dropping can be done to all the fans, not just those familiar with web3; in addition, pre-save increases reach on Spotify.
-
Sound unlocks open editions for all artists on the platform. The option had been active in beta for a week.
⚽ Sport NFTs
- Sorare has signed a multi-year partnership with the Premier League, believed to be worth £30 million a year. We're talking about the most-watched sports league in the world, broadcasted to 643 million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people, according to Wikipedia. The PL adds LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A and over 300 other football clubs, in addition to the NBA or MLB.
🤖 AI Art
Using AI, we type in a few words and it generates an image. For today's one, we used Midjourney and the following words: "future of social networks, particles, people"
