The Rise of NFTs on Bitcoin
Bitcoin has recently been making waves in the NFT market, taking the crown as the second-largest NFT chain, according to the latest figures from CryptoSlam. With $167.47 million in NFT sales over the last 30 days, it’s clear that this digital gold is stepping up its game. It’s still playing catch-up to Ethereum’s hefty $395.95 million, but hey, it’s a solid second place—just like when you ace a huge test and your best friend follows close behind, but you both still didn’t study for it.
What Sets Bitcoin Apart?
In the grand arena of NFT sales, Bitcoin isn’t just stumbling ahead; it leads the pack against competitors like Solana and Mythos Chain. With Solana racking up about $55.8 million and Mythos trailing with a mere $35.4 million, Bitcoin’s edge is almost laughable if it weren’t so impressive. It’s like being the classy kid in school who somehow manages to get an A while everyone else is still checking the class schedule.
Top NFT Collections: Bitcoin’s All-Stars
So, what’s snagging the attention and dollars from eager collectors? The clear champ here is Bitcoin Ordinals, boasting $26.3 million in sales recently. Behind it, we have Space Pepes and Bitcoin Frogs, bringing in $12.24 million and $9.43 million respectively. They’re not just enthusiasts; they’re practically celebrities in their own right! Who knew cartoon frogs and collectible ordinal numbers would become cultural icons?
StepN’s Bold Move into Apple Pay
Meanwhile, the Web3 lifestyle platform StepN has jumped on the tech trend by integrating with Apple Pay, becoming the first of its kind to do so. This is a big deal because it eliminates the daunting task of setting up crypto wallets for newbies—no more fumbling with seed phrases or wondering if you just lost your entire life savings in a cyber black hole. Yawn Rong, co-founder of Find Satoshi Labs, said it best: “This integration opens us up to a whole new audience.” Who doesn’t love a little convenience, right?
A Culinary Adventure in The Sandbox
And if you’re hungry for something more flavorful, The Sandbox has teamed up with chef Gordon Ramsay to bring an interactive cooking competition to its metaverse. Participants can challenge themselves in a virtual version of Ramsay’s famed kitchen for prizes like HexClad frying pans and 20,000 SAND tokens. Just imagine the delightful chaos: contestants can earn virtual high-fives or Ramsay’s famous tongue-lashing, all from the comfort of their own couch. Spoiler alert: you might just end up being called an ‘idiot sandwich.’
Funding the Future of Web3 Gaming
In another exciting development, blockchain gaming startup Openfort successfully snagged $3 million in seed funding. This will help it roll out its wallet-as-a-service product, making the blockchain experience as seamless as your grandmother’s favorite recipe. Imagine supporting your favorite game while effortlessly managing your crypto—goodbye to the days of needing a PhD to navigate your digital life!
