August 12 - 16: This week in NFTs, recapped in one letter

Gm, 

WE’RE SO (ready to be) BACK. Top ETH NFTs are pumping, DeGods is leading wins after some major community love, and names like Atari are back in web3.

Not to mention Ethereum gas prices haven’t been this cheap in 4 years. If that doesn’t make you bullish, what will?–NFA, DYOR.

Sure, your portfolio might not be as green as it once was, and BTC is still around $60K (surprise surprise), but we’re taking really big steps to make decentralization mainstream, and isn’t that kind of the point?

Either way, we might as well enjoy the ride!

In short, this week has been fun. Did you see that MetaMask launched the world’s first Mastercard debit card that lets you spend directly from your self-custody wallet?

I don’t know about you, but the Rarible team is PUMPED for what’s coming this year–and it has nothing to do with the fact we’re all at an offsite in sunny Morocco 💛

Looking for your next ride? 60 variations of your beloved Hot Wheels virtual collectibles are launching this Monday on the Mattel Creations marketplace. Don’t miss out: some are even redeemable for physical die-cast cars.

• Put your headphones on. Doodles new single “Not In The Store” debuted on Spotify.

• The UEFA Super Cup is getting sponsored by Crypto.com once again.

• And the political campaign continues! Trump family is said to be working on a digital real estate crypto project.

• 10 Opepens are being auctioned at Sotheby's. Biddings starts at $1, let’s try to keep it competitive, frens.

This Rarepepe Nakamoto Card traded hands early this week for 38 ETH ($97.9K). Isn’t web3 culture just the most unique thing you’ve ever seen?
