Unique Network, an established parachain in the Polkadot Network, has launched its advanced NFT marketplace: Unique NFT Marketplace. The decentralised NFT marketplace was developed to support self-custody, permissionless, and curated content while offering next-generation NFT utility tools to creators. The marketplace provides an immersive experience by enabling users to trade NFTs on Unique Network and Quartz Network seamlessly. This is the next step in the NFT movement where a marketplace allows creators to add their own utility.

The Unique NFT marketplace offers advanced NFT integrations, NFT customisation, and creator royalties. Anyone can create interconnected tokens of collections, while nesting functions deliver parent-child relationships between NFTs, ideal for games. Creators can personalise tokens using customizable NFTs opening doors to unique collections, customizable in-game items and immersive digital fashion experiences. Alex Mitrovitch, founder and CEO of Unique, also stresses the robust royalty system. "We believe it is important to support creator income across their NFT lifecycle in a fair and transparent process, regardless of where the NFTs reside."

2023-06-26 09:29:18 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT Prices Are Plunging

The minimum trading price of top Ethereum NFT collections, including the Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks, have plunged over the last 24 hours, continuing a trend of sharply falling prices for so-called “blue chip” NFTs. The floor prices of CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club dropped by nearly 8% and 7% respectively over the last 24 hours, per CoinGecko data. Nansen’s Blue Chip 10 index of the top 10 NFT collections has dropped 31% year-to-date.

In recent weeks, the Bored Ape Yacht Club has sustained sharper losses, with the “floor price”—or the cheapest listed NFT on a secondary marketplace—falling nearly 19% over the last 30 days when measured in ETH. A Bored Ape starts at 36.4 ETH, or about $68,200. That’s the lowest Bored Ape floor price, in ETH terms, measured by NFT Price Floor since November 2021, when the project was just taking flight. Meanwhile, Mutant Ape Yacht Club prices are down 26% in ETH terms over the past 30 days, now starting at 7 ETH or $13,150. CryptoPunks prices have fallen less than 3% in the same timeframe. The Bored Ape price floor peaked at 152 ETH in April 2022.

2023-06-25 11:34:30 FC Barcelona and World of Women Spotlight Soccer Star With NFT Release

Barcelona Football Club has partnered with World of Women on the next installment of its Masterpiece NFT collection. This second release pays homage to a pivotal moment in the club’s history and an extraordinary athlete, Alexia Putellas, who has had a transformative impact on the game. The NFT, entitled Empowerment, is an artistic embodiment of the Women’s Champions League semi-final match that took place on April 22, 2022, between Barcelona and Wolfsburg.

On that historic day, 91,648 spectators were privileged to witness Barcelona’s triumphant win, setting a record for the highest attendance at a women’s football match. Renowned for her exceptional skills, Putellas delivered an outstanding performance during the game, scoring two goals that further elevated her stature in the sport. Aside from boosting fan engagement, this initiative aims to transform these digital assets into experiential, premium products. The future owner of the NFT will not only possess a digital artwork that signifies support for gender equality in sports but will also receive an array of benefits. These include a personal meeting with Putellas and a pair of signed soccer boots. The NFT owner will also receive a physical seat from Spotify Camp Nou adorned with a portrait of Putellas by renowned Catalan artist Oscar Tusquets.

2023-06-24 15:56:02 Unofficial BlackRock 'EtherRock' NFTs net $750,000 in trading volume

A meme NFT collection that combines the idea behind the popular NFT collection EtherRock with the unofficial branding of the investment giant BlackRock has already seen 398 ETH, or $749,000, in total trading volume. The collection, also called BlackRock, comes on the heels of BlackRock's filing for a Bitcoin ETF. The investment firm has no affiliation with the NFT project, according to the collection's OpenSea profile. EtherRock is a collection of 100 rocks launched in 2017. It grew to prominence during the NFT craze, when its NFTs were selling for as high as $1.8 million.

The BlackRock meme collection has 999 individual NFTs that are selling at a floor price of 0.245 ETH, which is worth about $462 as of publication time. The collection sold out on June 21, 2023. This recent activity caused it to be trending on OpenSea. The creator of the BlackRock NFT collection appears to have kept ownership of 100 of the NFTs, or 10% of the collection. So far they have not put these NFTs for sale or accepted any offers on them. BlackRock filing a Bitcoin ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 15 has an immediate impact on the crypto market. The Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust spiked 400% in the days after, and bitcoin's price rallied above $30,000 — surpassing this threshold for the first time since April.

2023-06-22 20:38:51 Fortnite's Collab With Nike's NFT Platform Doesn't Include In-Game NFTs

Unveiled today, “Airphoria” is a Nike-branded experience within Fortnite’s Creative Mode, letting users go on the “ultimate Nike sneakerhunt” within a Fortnite game world. The experience, which will be live in the game until June 27, can earn players a free in-game “back bling” or avatar accessory styled like a classic pair of Nike Air Max sneakers. But the free item isn’t tokenized as an NFT, nor are there any apparel or accessory NFTs included in this collaboration. While the .Swoosh connection suggested a potential move into tokenized digital items for Fortnite.

“The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,” an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. “Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the enjoyment of the purchaser, and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.” Even so, the promotion ties into Nike’s NFT-driven .Swoosh platform, which is built on Polygon, an Ethereum scaling network. Each .Swoosh user is granted a .Swoosh ID for signing up, and it's represented by an NFT minted on Polygon. As an official Fortnite disclaimer mentions, users must connect both .Swoosh and BitGo accounts to earn the achievement.
