2023-11-26 19:34:02 Square Enix announces auction dates for Symbiogenesis NFTs

Final Fantasy game developer Square Enix has announced auction dates for its upcoming Symbiogenesis nonfungible tokens (NFTs). In a Nov. 24 social media post, the team said it would sell the NFTs in three batches. The first batch will be auctioned from Nov. 27 to 28, the second from Nov. 30 to Dec. 4, and the third from Dec. 2 to 3. Symbiogenesis is Square Enix’s upcoming blockchain game that features Ethereum-based NFTs.

According to the game’s documents, the first phase will include facet and mesh characters and will only allow “stakeholders” to participate. This seems to imply that only early investors will be able to participate in the Nov. 27–28 phase. The second and third phases will be available to participants in an “allowlist entry campaign,” the documents state. The game’s team ran the allowlist entry campaign from Nov. 7 to 21. Collectors were asked to participate in a series of quizzes, as well as a “treasure hunt” that took place within a prototype version of the Symbiogenesis game world. The participants earned NFT “relics” as a result of these activities, and they scored points toward participating in phase 2.

2023-11-19 18:34:02 Microsoft Teams adds AI backgrounds as it moves to the metaverse

Microsoft’s metaverse will finally arrive in January, along with new Teams features that will allow users to decorate their backgrounds with AI. Over 320 million users use Microsoft Teams monthly, and Microsoft has identified two new features that it thinks they will care about: using AI to filter your voice (and just your voice) in Teams calls, and the rather wild ability to use AI to clean up your background.

Remember that in March 2021, Microsoft debuted Mesh as the VR metaverse of the future. Technical fellow Alex Kipman (who left in 2022 after allegations of abuse) disclosed that the whole Ignite conference was being held within Mesh. Now, at Ignite 2023, things have changed. Kipman’s gone. Microsoft’s HoloLens floats somewhere in the Schrodinger duality of product and non-product with the U.S. Army, and many of the development teams have been laid off. Meta (nee Facebook), of course, bet its future on the metaverse and then backpedaled in favor of AI. Consumers largely shook their heads and walked away from the concept of a metaverse as a whole.

2023-11-17 10:33:40 ORDI price nears a record high as Bitcoin Ordinals NFT volume soars

ORDI token price continued this week as it surged to the highest level since May this year. The coin surged to a high of $28.37, which was about 845% above the lowest point this year. Its total market cap has surged to over $524 million, making it one of the fastest-growing tokens in the world. ORDI coin has soared, helped by the rising demand for Bitcoin Ordinals. According to CryptoSlam, the total volume of these NFTs soared to over $20 million in the past 24 hours.

For starters, Bitcoin Ordinals are NFTs that use unique ways that people use to store text, images, and other data on the Bitcoin ecosystem. They have become large players in the NFT industry in the past few months. Further data shows that the total futures open interest for ORDI tokens jumped to a record high. Interest soared to a high of $124 million in the past 24 hours. Most of this open interest was from OKX, Binance, and Bybit. Futures open interest is an important part in the cryptocurrency industry. It refers to the unfilled positions in the futures market. In most periods, higher open interest is a sign that there is higher demand.

2023-11-15 20:56:02 Mad Lads NFTs Hit All-Time High as Backpack Taps FTX Lawyer for Exchange Launch

Solana-based NFT wallet app Backpack will launch a cryptocurrency exchange based in Dubai, the company has added former FTX general counsel Can Sun to lead the exchange. And now Backpack’s associated NFT project, Solana’s Mad Lads, has soared to an all-time high price. The news comes just weeks after Sun testified against ex-boss Sam Bankman-Fried in the U.S. government’s fraud trial against the FTX co-founder and former CEO.

According to the report, Trek Labs aims to sell a 10% stake of the company to investors at a valuation above $100 million. Coral co-founder and CEO Armani Ferrante is listed as a minority shareholder in Trek Labs, per the report, while his wife Claire Zhang also holds a stake. Zhang was previously Sun’s deputy at FTX, while Ferrante himself worked at both Alameda and FTX before founding Coral. Trek Labs announced in October that it obtained a Virtual Asset Service Provider license from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to launch a regulated exchange in the country. Sun disclosed his history with FTX during the regulatory application process, according to the Wall Street Journal.
