- Magic Eden launches Bitcoin marketplace as Ordinal inscriptions continue to grow 🧤 🔑
“We are already a multichain platform and believe that adding Bitcoin will connect us to a deep community of people and a rapidly growing collectibles market thanks to Ordinals,” Zhuoxun Yin, COO and co-founder of Magic Eden, said to TechCrunch. “Adding a Bitcoin marketplace allows us to continue our multichain vision.” 🗣️
Ordinals, an NFT-like project on Bitcoin’s blockchain, has grown significantly since the first one was inscribed in December. By mid-February, over 90,000 Ordinals were inscribed — which is jargon for created (or minted) — on the Bitcoin blockchain. About a month later, there are more than 400,000 inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain, up 344% during that time frame, Magic Eden shared.

Unless it can find another service provider, crypto exchange Binance will suspend British pound sterling deposits and withdrawals starting on May 22, according to an email shared with Decrypt. 🫥👾
The email, which was sent to customers on Monday, explained that customers won’t be able to use GBP as their account on- or off-ramps because Skrill Limited, the U.K.-based partner Binance uses for Faster Payments Service transactions, will no longer support it.

- From "wet painting" to NFTs: the art market is moving on faster and faster 🧤
The art market has always known cycles: forms of art have come in and gone out of fashion, collectors have arrived in the market or dropped out, economies have strengthened and weakened and—crucially—supply has increased or decreased. 🐵
But contemporary art, which has become the dominant sector of the art market, has had a major impact on this. In theory supply isn’t a problem, although dealers try to manage it for the hottest artists. But there are two new elements in the mix today. One is the need to stay constantly “in the moment”, always moving on to something new. The second is the continuing convergence of the financial and art markets. The result seems to be that cycles in the art market are becoming shorter, as investors move quickly on to the next hot thing.

- Crypto bank Silvergate plunges after warning on ability to survive 📉📉
Shares of California-based lender more than halve after it revealed deterioration in capital position ⛑️⛑️
In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, Silvergate said it would not be able to file its annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission on time. It said it would miss the March 16 deadline because of a further weakening in its capital position since last month, when it reported dismal fourth-quarter earnings.
Silvergate said it was “evaluating the impact that these subsequent events have on its ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months following the issuance of its financial statements”.
US-listed crypto exchange Coinbase said on Thursday it was no longer accepting or initiating payments to or from Silvergate “in light of recent developments and out of an abundance of caution”. The exchange added it had “di minimis corporate exposure” to the bank, and institutional client cash transactions would be facilitated through other banking partners.
- NFT Projects Beware: Top Shots Class Action Could Set Precedent 🎯🏀
A judge says it is plausible Top Shot Moments are securities, and the decision could change the entire NFT industry 🫣
Dapper Labs may not get its way in the class action lawsuit against its Top Shot NFTs, and other projects should be on notice, attorneys say.
Counsel from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom LLP said that the court’s decision last week to allow the class action, alleging Top Shot moments are securities, to move forward foreshadows how NFTs may be treated in the future.
- Ethereum Gas Fees Are Slowly Climbing as NFT Market Rebounds ⛑️
Ethereum’s fee market is slowly returning to form amid a recent resurgence in NFT trading activity across the network. 🤝
According to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, the median price for gas powering Ethereum transactions cost roughly 10 to 20 gwei over the past 9 months. This month, that cost had risen to 38 gwei—higher than during key bear market events including FTX’s collapse in November (36 gwei) and Binance’s “bank run” in December (24 gwei). 👥

[Don’t Call It ‘Crypto’: How Some Blockchain and NFT Projects are Rebranding - Decrypt](https://decrypt.co/121597/dont-call-it-crypto-how-some-blockchain-and-nft-projects-are-rebranding)
Amid the bear market, crypto projects are ditching terms like NFTs and Web3. Here's how branding experts think they should weather the storm.
- Bitcoin Dips After Key Inflation Indicator Rattles Market 📉
Bitcoin dropped sharply on Friday—dragging the rest of the digital asset market with it—after key inflation data came in and seemingly rattled investors. 👥
The biggest cryptocurrency is currently down 3% in 24 hours, trading for $23,070, CoinGecko data shows. Just last week, it broke above $25,000 per coin for the first time in eight months. 🧑🏼💻
Most other cryptocurrencies have also taken a hit: Ethereum has shed 3.1% in the past day, trading hands for $null,593; Dogecoin is now priced at $0.082—a 3.3% 24-hour drop. ⛑️
- DeGods and y00ts Are Leaving Solana—Here’s How It’s Going to Work👇
DeGods, the most valuable NFT project on Solana, has a history of announcing unexpected twists—from upgrading its artwork to buying majority control of a BIG3 basketball team🏀, and even recently putting some of its previously-burned NFTs on Bitcoin. 🔥
But the project’s creators delivered one hell of a Christmas surprise: DeGods will leave Solana. 🫢
Currently, a DeGods NFT on Solana starts at about $11,500 worth of SOL on the Magic Eden marketplace, but Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape Yacht Club PFPs on Ethereum start at 10 times that amount. It’ll be a new challenge to try and outshine ETH’s heavyweights, but that’s a big part of the appeal for DeLabs.
- Ubisoft Continues Web3 Push With Rabbids NFTs in The Sandbox 🐇

The drop is themed after the Lunar New Year, given that 2023 is the year of the rabbit, and the Rabbids will feature various designs that will be unveiled to buyers this Friday. 💯📈

In other words, buyers are now free to decide whether or not they want to honor a creator’s royalty preferences. This is a serious problem for many project creators, as royalties from sales are how most generate revenue following their initial token sale.
Ultimately, the announcement comes just days after the NFT marketplace Blur, one of OpenSea’s top competitors in the space, published a blog post that told users to block OpenSea.
cknowledged the role that Blur played in their decision. “There’s been a massive shift in the NFT ecosystem. In October, we started to see meaningful volume and users move to NFT marketplaces that don’t fully enforce creator earnings. Today, that shift has accelerated dramatically despite our best efforts….Recent events – including Blur’s decision to roll back creator earnings (even on filtered collections) and the false choice they’re forcing creators to make between liquidity on Blur or OpenSea – prove that our attempts are not working” they wrote.
