March 25 - 29: This week in NFTs, recapped in one letter

Gm,

We’re wrapping up the week cautiously bullish today, as Bitcoin sits just above $70k and SBF sits in jail for the next 25 years. It looks like the momentum is building up?

In the meantime, the memecoin wave seems to be dragging retail onto our shores (no dad, it’s too late to buy >insert ticker here<), and the L2 season is going STRONG. 

By the way, you may have noticed we’re wearing blue this week. That’s because Rarible is officially based 💙

You want to mint some cool Base NFTs? Got Base memecoins to spare? Welcome home, based frens, we’re thrilled to have you on Rarible.

And what better way to celebrate Base season if not with a series of 1st class drops? We’re talking great artists, great artworks, really low prices (and fees)—only on Rarible.com.

Can’t decide which memecoin to shill today? Run and mint today’s Base drop by Ruslan Vyaltsev, it might help you figure things out… or not ;)

Going strong and base-pilled.

SBF meets memecoin season:

• Azuki is launching AnimeChain, an Arbitrum Orbit like RARI Chain. Onchain anime productions and games are coming to the Garden.

• Blast NFT game Munchables recovered $62 million in stolen funds after being hacked earlier this week.

• Mocaverse hit ATH at 5 ETH, Azuki bounced, MAYC still below mint price, Pudgy Penguins still above BAYC. Not a boring week for blue-chip drama!

Ethereum NFTs volume cooled down this week. But CryptoPunks remained (yet again) the top sale of the week.

Punk #5930 sold for 59.68 ETH on March 26, worth $212,566.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together—with frens
