November 04 - 08: This week in NFTs, recapped in one letter

Gm friends,

What a week! Anyone who has managed to spend 10 minutes away from CT gets a gold medal.

The US election results caused quite a stir across the globe, with one definite upside being BTC reaching a brand new all time high. 

Rumor has it our good friend Gensler may be on his way out and ETH (finally) began creeping up, which begs the question: is this the start of something beautiful? 🥹

Completely unrelated to recent market action, reports came out stating that October actually saw an 18% increase in NFT sales volume. LFG.

Here at Rarible we’re gearing up for Marfa next weekend - check out our list of 5 must-see events at digital art’s hottest festival.

• Polymarket killed it during the recent US election, but is now facing regulation in France after one French bettor won around $48M.
  

• The head of digital art and NFTs at Sotheby’s was feeling the heat over allegations that he created and artificially pumped an art-related meme coin. Bonus points for pretending the whole thing was a conceptual art piece.

• Epic fail for a group of crypto scammers who accidentally targeted a police detective, resulting in 81 arrests.
