The past few weeks have been a dark time for NFT lovers and players in the cryptocurrency industry, but for startups and executives that are dug into the vision of a crypto future, it's also been an opportunity to double down. This week, Uniswap announced that it has made a new acquisition, buying up  NFT marketplace aggregator Genie for an undisclosed sum. The purchase was made by Uniswap -- the startup -- which has raised millions in funding from firms like Andreessen Horowitz and Paradigm to help build Uniswap -- the decentralized exchange protocol. Users know Uniswap as a decentralized way to swap a wide variety of tokens; this new acquisition will bring non-fungible tokens into the mix. Genie gives users the library of NFTs available across marketplaces and makes it so that they can see and trade NFTs across most of these platforms. Uniswap's team say they will be using the product to build a Uniswap NFT vertical into their platform, which will launch this fall. The compa

The sentence, “I can’t make this month’s mortgage payment, looks like I’m going to have to give up my collection of Charmin toilet paper themed digital art to the bank,” is one that seems preposterous.

To prevent the NFT market from crashing down as fast as it has rocketed up, there needs to be regulation that establishes legal protections for ownership, levies strict punishment against criminals manipulating asset prices and restricts the ability of  NFT owners to leverage their futures on assets that could become worthless in the blink of an eye. NFTs have already been used as collateral for mi

During this downed crypto and NFT market , there is a project that returns to all of its holders rewards one week after release. MadManga FOMO Stone NFT is a manga-community-driven project that has its unique core IP developed around popular manga derivatives as its accent. Manga-themed NFTs are a common meta during the beginning of 2022. Still, MadManga takes an entirely different approach by not focusing on PFP but providing utilities while creating a haven for manga creators and fans to gather to be nurtured. This unique twist to the project attracted the market, evidenced by the sell-out action and rewards its holders received. One incentive is MadManga's collaboration with Allizart, a web3 store selling officially licensed anime figures (a.k.a GK), to sell thousands of NARUTO anime figures during the week of their NFT Phase 1 sale. It reserved some for NFT holders to buy at a meager price (all sold out at writing). A significant accomplishment to put together and shed light o
