NFT Market Bytes

Clown Skateboards launched this week, marking the first collaborative artwork approved by the Flower Power DAO. The collection combines Ludo’s artistic trademarks, such as flowers and butterflies, with Clown Skateboard’s infamous Banksy-created logo as well as a color palette with deep meaning for the team. Not surprisingly, the 2,000 NFT collection sold out rapidly and has already achieved over 10k ICP in volume on the secondary market. You can shop for Clown Skateboard NFTs using both dgdg.app as well as Entrepot, and the team announced that the NFTs would also eventually be available on Yumi.

· School is in session for anime fans as Shinjuku High’s Freshmen collection has launched on Yumi. The collection is selling consistently, with more than two-thirds sold at the time of writing. The sale launched on Wednesday, and the NFTs became available for the reveal on Friday. The team is committed to these NFTs being dynamic digital collectibles that change over time. The project is also working on bringing the first of their characters – Val – to life in the IC1101 metaverse.

· The Grounded collection has launched on Entrepot. While a week of unexpected marketplace delays landed the launch on the same days as the first non-practice SNS launch, the collection is still performing well. More than one-third of the NFTs were sold during the first 24 hours. The collection once again pairs photographer Oliver Savage with the model and dancer Wing from two of his previous collections on the IC. It’s nice to see the community coming out to support one of the first artists on the Internet Computer. Oli’s first collection, Wing, was one of the first five NFT collections on the IC and the first photography collection.

Around the Web

🌐 Metaverse OG: Neal Stephenson, a writer who originally coined the word "metaverse" in his 1992 sci-fi novel Snow Crash, is working on a new L1. The Lamina1 blockchain's mission is to build an "open metaverse", which is first and foremost interoperable.

Untethered: Tether, the company behind $USDT (one of the most widely used stablecoin), has been the subject of speculation almost from Day One. Some CT users like BitFinexed have been calling out the secretive company for their lack of transparency for years. It seems Tether's shady practices are finally coming to light; The WSJ published an extensive report this Friday about how Tether used fake documents to open bank accounts.

BritBan: UK banks have become increasingly strict about their policies on crypto since the FTX collapse last November. Two of the biggest banks in the UK, Nationwide and HSBC, have begun to apply daily limits for crypto buyers, and in some cases restrict credit card purchases of cryptocurrency.

Shanghai Waiting Room: Ethereum's Shanghai upgrade is being pushed back to April, according to Ethereum core developers on a call this Thursday. The upgrade has been the focus of narrative traders in recent months and it will allow the withdrawal of staked $ETH. Currently, 14.5% of all circulating supply is being staked.

A Matter of Opinion: Stoll, Inside Dark Studios CEO

Here, Stoll outlines the further collaboration between Inside Dark Studios, one of the most promising GameFi projects on the IC, and InfinitySwap. Inside Dark Studios are a platinum-level NFT partner, and we will be unveiling the new InfinitySwap NFT Partnership initiative later this week.

Inside Dark Studio is a game development studio that values collaboration with the community. Working towards building a metaverse where different universes and dimensions mix into one reality of madness, the studio relies heavily on community support.

InfinitySwap, a significant partner of the studio, has been instrumental in providing marketing support and partnering with projects outside of the studio. Daniel James, the Head of Marketing at InfinitySwap, has particularly played a critical role in the collaboration. Both Inside Dark Studio and InfinitySwap are developing on the Internet Computer, a decentralized blockchain platform.

The PurpleHead Infinite Soldier Skin:

Inspired by the popular Redhead soldiers, the PurpleHead soldier skin will be accessible to holders of Infinity Canisters and Genesis. The skin will come in two versions: the "Elite" version, inspired by the Golden Redhead, and the regular version, inspired by the Regular Redhead. The addition of this new soldier skin is just one of the ways in which Inside Dark Studio is working to create an immersive gaming experience for players. This drop will be to ALL Canister holders in April.

With a commitment to community collaboration and innovative gameplay experiences on the Internet Computer, Inside Dark Studio, and InfinitySwap are poised to become leaders in the decentralized gaming and DeFi industries.

Head of Marketing, Daniel (ICPfan8)

After being approached by countless NFT projects asking for marketing support, it became apparent that we have a valuable platform that NFT projects are looking to leverage for exposure to the wider community.

While some projects want to do basic giveaways or for us to run more sophisticated campaigns via Genki (bronze tier) other projects require more consistent support via our extensive range of channels, including videos, social media, articles, newsletters, interviews, AMAs, and so on.

InfinitySwap has some of the most outreach on $ICP and according to Lunarcrush the most engagement of ANY ICP account in the last 3 months. This is just on Twitter, but with over 7000 blog newsletter subscribers and tens of thousands of followers on other platforms, it is easy to see why NFT projects recognize the need to partner with us.

We will be sharing an article next week outlining the new partner initiative which aims to add value to Canister holders, help promote good NFT projects in the ecosystem and help projects to grow via our infrastructure including the Bitfinity Wallet and soon-to-be-released EVM.

This week, we already announced a partnership with Inside Dark Studios and Pepe Frog which are both dropping to Canister holders. We are very excited about working with the community and adding value to INFINISWAPPERS with an increasing number of projects in the foreseeable future.

Have a great Sunday and week ahead!
