What's Dropping ⚡️
Taiwanese singer Jay Chou had his BAYC stolen a few days ago. The artist claims he was hacked through a phishing website which BAYC devs quickly dealt with. To cope, he picked up an Azuki the next day.
Anime-themed art is pumping all across the board as trend-setter project Azuki continues to rise in popularity. The project's success has spawned several derivatives and spin-offs, slamming the metaverse with a slew of anime-themed projects. At one point over the weekend the floor of Azuki got up above 30 ETH.
Cool Cats pumped hard Monday afternoon with rumors spreading about an acquisition. Clon put a stop to the pump with one single tweet. Also, the Cooltopia Beetah Testing is going very well and seemingly will be available for holder soon.
Pudgy Penguins are under new ownership after a $2.5M USD sale of the collection. LA-based entrepreneur Luca Netz has purchased the project, along with a group of stakeholders. Current Penguin floor is now 3.2 ETH.
CatBlox will be airdropping Metaportals to holders today. Friday the portal properties will reveal one of three possible rewards. 50 will get a 1/1 Studio Collection cat, 1,000 will get guarenteed allowlist spots for Puma capsules and the rest will unlock a number of different Decentraland wearables.
Snoop Dogg has recently partnered with metaverse festival organizers and project Clay Nation. He plans on putting out unreleased tunes on the Cardano blockchain, which is growing rapidly.
The U.K government has decided to develop NFTs in the hopes of becoming cryptocurrency "world leaders". Nothing more is known about the project currently, but Royal Mint plans on having it ready for a summer drop.
United Kingdom NFTs 🇬🇧
Yesterday, the government of the United Kingdom (UK) announced that they are planning on releasing a NFT by the end of the summer. In a speech at the Innovative Finance Global Summit in London, John Glen, Economic Secretary of the Treasury, announced that the UK is working on rapidly expanding its cryptocurrency support.
Chancellor @RishiSunak has asked @RoyalMintUK to create an NFT to be issued by the summer.
This decision shows the the forward-looking approach we are determined to take towards cryptoassets in the UK.

That includes: “legislating for a ‘financial market infrastructure sandbox’ to help firms innovate, an FCA-led ‘CryptoSprint’, working with the Royal Mint on an NFT, and an engagement group to work more closely with industry.” Rishi Sunak, Chancellor of the Exchequer, also said, “It’s my ambition to make the UK a global hub for cryptoasset technology, and the measures we’ve outlined today will help to ensure firms can invest, innovate and scale up in this country.” Along with adoption will come regulation. But, Glen said, "We shouldn't be thinking of regulation as a static, rigid thing. Instead, we should be thinking in terms of regulatory 'code' — like computer code — which we refine and rewrite when we need to." Let’s just see how when that plan comes to fruition. UK, YGMI.
Cyber Brokers Quest Underway 🚀
Over 100 holders gathered in the voice chat section of Josie Bellini’s CyberBrokers Discord server in order to come together and solve the first quest. The floor spiked from 3 ETH to 7 ETH today and has settled closer to 5.2 ETH at the time of writing. The project has exemplified a new and unique approach to providing an immersive and engaging environment for its holders.

Days before they dropped the quest, j1mmy.eth provided discourse on Fast Company, where the highly regarded OG in the NFT space compared CyberBrokers to BAYC.
Great read of an interview with @j1mmyeth about BAYC. Look who also got some high praise. @CyberBrokers_ getting a lot of love by everyone these days for their uniqueness in the #nft space. Congrats @josiebellini@cybourgeoisie@m3mnoch on making it into @FastCompany

The team designed a website that led users to various error messages, and the quest developed into a puzzle of trying to break through the firewall. A recap on what it took to solve the puzzle can be found in the thread below. The future is looking bright for CyberBrokers, and many prominent voices are already regarding it as a bluechip in the making.
