🚀🌠 New NFT communities start and fail (and are sometimes sued by regulators just before they fail). At least big brands doing NFT loyalty programs explicitly say the programs are NFT-based, unlike some influencer-promoted ventures. In our opinion, it’s the big brands that will push the NFT adoption in the next market cycle. Read on, it’s all NFT this week!

🌏🪙 Asia continues to be the place bustling with web3 activity: following the Korea Blockchain Week last week in Seoul, TOKEN2049 was held on September 13–14 in Singapore. It was an upbeat industry gathering regardless of the market uncertainty.

🚬🐱 This week the US SEC has charged the Hollywood power couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s NFT-based web series “Stoner Cats,” calling the NFTs unregistered securities. Stoner Cats settled with the SEC and will pay a USD 1 million fine. The NFTs were minted for 0.35 ETH (USD 800) and traded at around 0.02 ETH during the last 3 months. The news drew attention to it, pushing the floor price to 0.084 ETH on September 14, before collection trading was halted by OpenSea. It seems, the investors who are down 94% are not getting any refunds.

🟪🚫 Binance NFT marketplace ends support for Polygon NFTs 6 months after adding it. On a separate note, Binance will discontinue support for its BUSD stablecoin in February 2024 — following a SEC lawsuit and the order to its issuer Paxos to stop minting BUSD in February 2023. On another separate note, more than 10 high-level employees left Binance / Binance US since July 2023.

🎤🎮 The influencer esports league Creator League promoted by the YouTuber Mr. Beast misinformed the involved influencers with a combined audience of over 226 million followers that the League passed are essentially NFTs, which caused backlash among the influencers who do not want to be associated with blockchain/NFT. Its launch has since been postponed. This shows us that the masses perceive the blockchain tech as scam/fraud, because frequently big names are used to lure investors in and take their money — and our opinion is that this HAS to be changed.

⌚🧩 The Japanese watchmaker Casio launches the Virtual G-Shock line on the Polygon blockchain later this year. G-Shock is a hugely popular digital watch with over 130 million pieces sold worldwide since 1983. Casio opened a Discord community that will co-design the NFTs with the help from G-SHOCK CREATOR PASS holders. Distribution of 15,000 G-SHOCK CREATOR PASS’es starts on September 23 for community members from 16 countries. Polygon seems to be the go-to provider for NFT loyalty/community programs for big brands.

🏖🍹 For 9 weeks during the past summer starting late June, we held CRIPCO entertainment games within our regular weekly calendar to provide a sense of belonging, familyship and joy when you are here with the CRIPCO fam. You and us 💯 engaged, enjoyed it, and built deeper bonds.

🎮 We played Smash Karts, LOLBeans, and Shell Shockers with Tidal, Wavygang, OOZed and other mates and had a great time.

😜 We hope you didn’t fall for the trick we played: there is a big prize for #1, and we’ve been keeping it a surprise.

Congratulations to all who made it to the leader board, but the winner DCDC takes all! 🏆

💪 We’ll continue to make sure the CRIPCO community is a cool place to hang. See you at our next events 🔜!

Termination of Solana Discord Role

After careful consideration, we have concluded that the migration has been processed in accordance with our internal standards without any setbacks. For that reason, Solana Role will no longer be supported as of October 15, 2023, 00:00.

The progress of migration thus far is as follows:

• WADE F&F: 94.81%
• OOZ & mates: 86.88%
• OOZ Spaceships: 74.1%

Migration Deadline and Important Notes

We have announced that migration support will be provided until December 31, 2023, 23:59. After this date, assets on the Solana chain will not be supported by our project. Moreover, participation in the project will not be possible after this point. Please be advised accordingly.

Gas fees for the migration are covered by our project. Users who have not yet completed the migration should proceed with it on the following web page.

We plan to continue the project with Ethereum as the primary chain. Users who have not yet completed the migration are strongly urged to do so as soon as possible.
