April 1 - 5: This week in NFTs, recapped in one letter

Gm,

What a ride it’s been! Markets are testing all limits now, and the memecoin shows no signs of slowing down.

And with Base going particularly strong (another volume record secured), this has been an mfer week at Rarible–in the best sense possible!

Got any mfercoins? You can now use them as payment currency on Rarible 💛 Not to mention, mfer NFTs volume has increased by +900% in the past 7 days (unlike what we’ve seen for ETH NFTs lately!)

Imagine how cool it would be if RaribleX built a custom mfer marketplace. Oh wait, we already did it!

Speaking of which, the RaribleX team is on fire! We just launched Celosphere, a new NFT marketplace on Celo, and we’re already seeing some great traction there. So if you want to get ahead of the curve, study the mobile-first blockchain. Lesson in there.

Go home, Kevin, NYC is too much for you! 

• Got any XCOPY MUTATIO NFTs? You can now wrap them for $FLIES tokens on Base.

• Doodles announces storytelling experience with Pharrell Williams, coming this summer.

Apes are dead. Long live bored apes! Bored Ape Yacht Club leads this week’s top NFT sale.

Grifters rise with the bulls, beware.
