Thursday 10/27

Mints were firing left and right as an action packed day engaged the space. The morning began with several mints popping off concurrently with DC Comics Superman NFT, RTFKT, and Dapper’s newest product La Liga Golzaos all keeping voice chat abuzz. After the mints calmed down we saw significant news from Dmitri Cherniak and the Apecoin account as they await the results of their bug bounty proposal. Opensea continued its slow sojourn upwards to break the $10 million mark. ETH also saw a bit of a retracement all the way down to $1500.

Notable Mints:

  • RTFKT dropped their RTFKT x RIMOWA Meta-Artisan Collection. The drop was marred by exploits in the contract and a poor user experience but saw respectable volume after sellout nonetheless. The collection is comprised of workerbots (.26E) and luxury high-end luggage made by Rimowa (2.37E) of differing tiers. https://www.gem.xyz/collection/rtfkt-x-rimowa/
