In another fascinating development, Bitwise introduces a groundbreaking Ethereum advertisement that can be minted as an NFT. This 39-second commercial, themed around Ethereum’s continuous operation versus traditional finance’s limitations, is a true piece of history. NFT enthusiasts can now mint this ad on Ethereum, with proceeds going to the actors and creating a collective funding mechanism by Ethereum core contributors.
Meanwhile, billionaire Marc Cuban’s crypto wallet, dormant for nearly two years, suddenly sprang to life on June 23, selling off various NFTs including EulerBeats Genesis, DeepBlack, Pudgy Penguins, and Wrapped MoonCats. This activity coincided with a security breach involving Cuban’s Gmail account, highlighting the importance of safeguarding digital assets.
On a different note, the digital collectibles market saw a significant decline of 45% in the second quarter of 2024, mirroring Bitcoin’s bearish trend. NFT sales plummeted to $2.24 billion, the lowest since Q3 of 2023. This sharp decrease contrasts sharply with the previous quarter’s $4.1 billion volume, indicating a market correction.
As we bid farewell to June, which witnessed a 59% drop in the average NFT sale value compared to March, it’s evident that the NFT market is experiencing a period of adjustment.
