NFT News

• OpenSea announces the launch of ERC721-C. Creators will now be able to use ERC721-C to set and enforce creator earnings. Thanks to the newly launched Seaport Hooks, creators will be able to set conditions that need to be fulfilled before NFTs in their collections are transferred. OpenSea is a bit late on “enforcing royalties” train but it’s great to see it regardless. Though they’ve sadly become the platform that has to adapt rather than the one in lead.  (source)

• Blast announces new multipliers. Farmers must use featured Spot DEX’s or Perp DEX’s to boost Blast Points. A total of 12 multipliers will be released and you can stack them. Make sure to collect all multipliers before the points redemption that will happen in May. You can visit blast.io to see all featured dApps to earn multipliers, gold and points. (source)

Crypto News

• The U.S. government moved 31K Bitcoins that was seized from SilkRoad to a Coinbase wallet. The last confirmed sale by the government was in late 2022. They sold roughly 10K Bitcoins seized from SilkRoad for a total of $216M.  (source)

• Binance Smart Chain ($BNB) launches $1M prize pool campaign to attract memecoins to the chain. BNB was the first chain I traded shitcoins on and Safemoon made a lot of noise back then. I believe they can attract shitcoins again. They have the strength and visibility to forcefully attract DEVs and degens. Brace yourselves for another shitcoin wave but now on BNB. (source)

Macro News

• Elon Musk says all nations “above a certain per capita income” are committing demographic suicide. (source)
