  • Nike’s +$1B web3 acquisition RTFKT is allegedly shutting down this year. These are just rumours at this point. RTFKT members even denied the allegations. Though it would be negative to see RTFKT shut down. I don’t think Nike has plans to exit web3 in the beginning of a bull cycle. (source)

  • A golden body NodeMonke (0.1% rarity) sells for 1.85 BTC ($125k). It is always bullish to see +2x floor sales in a collection. NodeMonkes seem to be well established at this point, 12th overall NFT collection with a market cap of ~$430m. (source)

  • Crypto investment products have set a new record with weekly inflows reaching $2.9 billion. The ETFs will become more and more established and bigger funds from other countries will decide to invest sooner or later. This means there’ll be a higher & stronger bottomline for especially Bitcoin prices. We might not see Bitcoin under $40k again. (source)
