NFT News, week 3. Anime announcement

News

The biggest news this week was the announcement of the launch of the Anime Network by Azuki, bringing the collection to the forefront of the marketplace.

Binance US set penguin to Twitter avatar and launched a Pengu token trade.

wale.moca shared the rumor on X, formerly Twitter, stating that several sources had informed him of the impending sale of CryptoPunks intellectual property (IP). In response, Greg Solano, Co-Founder of Yuga Labs addressed the rumors.

“A lot of people have approached us, especially in the last few months. Does not mean we are doing anything. We would only ever do a deal if we felt very confident it would be long-term extremely +EV for Punks. My biz and life are NFTs. Not going to take a deal for money if I feel like it hurts the legacy of this asset".

Despite Solano’s denial, the rumor alone was enough to drive a surge in CryptoPunks’ market activity. The collection’s floor price soared by over 15%, climbing from 34 ETH to a monthly high of 40.39 ETH. Trading activity also spiked.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin changed his Twitter profile picture to Milady 9286 and wrote that a large-scale change is currently being made to the leadership structure of the Ethereum Foundation.
