NFT News

  • Jack Butcher announces his new set “030”. This new set is derived from Windows NT (New Technology)/95 icons and color constraints. He comments “We picked this aesthetic because it just turned 30 years old and is perhaps the most iconic and recognizable visual language ..”. Jack Butcher continues to amaze with his collections and this looks like another HIT by him. (source)

  • GMoney secures a 1.000.000$ loan for his signature Ape Cryptopunk. Cryptopunks are currently sitting on 59.5ETH (140.000$) floor though GMoney’s CryptoPunk is a rare Ape. It is impossible to imagine the opportunities that await us in the next bullrun. Thanks to improving lending protocols I expect ridiculous volume. The introduction of a solid credit system within web3 will greatly increase liquidity since investors will now be able to take out loans without selling their beloved bluechip NFTs. (source)

Crypto News

  • Bitcoin records its highest monthly trading volume since September 2022. The volume is picking up as we advance further into the accumulation phase. I expect this volume to continue as we’re closing in on the halving. Extremely bullish on cryptocurrencies throughout 2024. (source)

  • Solana overtakes Uniswap with 480.000.000$ daily trading volume. Solana continues on it’s bullish path. This price at the current market situation and this activity level is a positive signals. Seems like Solana ecosystem will grow further and definitely cross it’s old all-time-highs. (source)

Bitcoin Trading Volume In January Broke A Record

Macro News

  • Joe Rogan signs a 250.0000.000$ Spotify deal that allows him to post his podcasts on X. He averages around 11.000.000 listeners per episode. This is a positive news for X’s journey in adding long form video format. I don’t think it would help convert people who listen from Spotify or Youtube to X, but it will definitely decrease the amount of screentime X looses to their competitors due to long format videos. (source)
