2022-02-17 14:00:00 NYSE files trademark application with NFT

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has filed a trademark application for the NFT marketplace and virtual goods.

In April 2021, the platform released an NFT "in honor of the IPO of high-tech American companies." Each token contains Spotify (NYSE:SPOT), Snowflake, Unity, DoorDash (NYSE:DASH), Roblox and Coupang quote metadata and represents the exact moment the company went public.

“Providing a marketplace for downloadable digital goods authenticated with NFT; providing a marketplace of virtual and digital assets, works of art, collections and non-fungible tokens; development and design of virtual retail stores and showrooms,” follows from the application of the exchange.

The Block stressed that the announcement does not necessarily reflect a desire to launch an NFT marketplace. At the same time, it speaks of the site's interest in protecting intellectual property related to areas of interest. Open / Comment

2022-02-17 06:00:00 Tom Lee called the driver for the growth of bitcoin to $200,000

Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee, in an interview with CNBC, called $200,000 a target for bitcoin and explained what contributes to its achievement.

According to the analyst, the total net worth of US households exceeds $141 trillion. The Fed's monetary policy means that over the next decade, people are guaranteed to lose money on investing in bonds.

Consequently, Li expects an influx of speculative capital into crypto that could be “huge.”

He also noted that digital money is much easier to manage and move. Another feature is the transparency and traceability of transactions.

In his opinion, the high price of bitcoin is an obstacle to mass adoption of the asset. Therefore, he supported the idea of switching to Satoshi - a millionth of a coin. Open / Comment

Smith added that his company doesn't get hung up on public announcements of new products or investments. However, he especially noted the credit line for $525 million, opened in November 2021 by the mining company GRIID. Open / Comment
