TOP CRYPTO NEWS, WEEKLY WRAPUP: TOP UPCOMING METAVERSE PROJECTS & NFT NEWS
This week, the crypto space was buzzing with some amazing Metaverse and NFT news! From concerts to Twitch’s co-founder’s Fractal garnering $35million in funding, the crypto space went crazy this week! Snoop Dogg and Biley Ray Cyrus’s smash hit is backed by metaverse entertainment company Animal Concerts, who is also working on a 50,000-piece nonfungible token (NFT)!
Fractal, the platform for game-related non-fungible tokens (NFT), founded by Twitch’s co-founder Justin Kan, has raised $35 million in a seed round led by Paradigm and Multicoin Capital. Other investors include Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Solana Labs, Animoca Brands, Coinbase Ventures, and Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon, among others.
Ukraine sold out 1282 NFTs on the first day of its sale for a total of 190 Ether (ETH) which is equal to $650k at the time of writing. According to the reports, the country wants to use these funds to rebuild the lost cultural heritage sites such as theatres and museums destroyed during the conflict with Russia.
According to the latest reports the UK government wants to issue its non-fungible token (NFT) as a way to signal its commitment to a forward-looking approach toward the crypto industry at large. Not only that but also the CEO of Starbucks Howard Schultz announced on Monday that the coffeehouse chain is all decked up to enter the non-fungible token (NFT) business by the end of the year 2022.
