NFT Adoption Happening: Brands, Celebs and Solutions — Play to Earn #61
This week: Beeple, NBA Top Shot, Axie Infinity, Euler Beats, MotoGP, Mirandus & more
Even though Optimism just said that their scaling solution for Ethereum is coming in March, many development teams have been looking around for other solutions. This week we’ve seen many projects announce their moves to either Polygon or Immutable X, while even Binance Smart Chain popped up as a solution. At the same time general interest in NFTs is still increasing according to Google Trends, driven by NBA Top Shot, Celebrity interest, Beeple and major sales in the art scene. I’m not worried about the price of crypto, because adoption is happening right now! — Robert Hoogendoorn

💜 Fair Crypto Art NFT Distribution with Drops
SPONSORED — As the hype surrounding NFTs is increasing, it becomes more difficult to obtain the things you actually want. Thousands of people wait in line, and in the end it comes down to who’s the fastest, lives in the right time zone or has the deepest pockets. Drops wants to change that by building their NFT drops around a raffle system, in addition they will allow users to stake their NFT or use them as collateral for loans. — Learn about NFT lending with Drops

🎧 Euler Beats Music NFT Sold for $458.000
This project got me totally hyped, even though I’m not invested. Euler Beats are on-chain generated music tracks with full commercial ownership through NFTs. From these NFTs other users can generate a maximum of 120 copies. The price increases with each copy, and those who hold one can burn it to get some money back. It’s really an interesting and intelligent concept. — Learn more
