🔦 PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

You've heard the phrase before. Content is King.

Youtube has taken the world by storm since its inception and some of the content platform's hottest creators are now more famous than Hollywood's biggest stars.

But what if you could invest in Youtube's biggest stars before they blew up, like supporting Mr. Beast when he had less than 10,000 followers?

Introducing Everbloom: The new-to-market project that enables anyone to invest in YouTubers in exchange for a share of their revenue. The platform is brought to you by an impressive team, including Lukas Runte 3x eCommerce Entrepreneur, and Brendan Alper - Ex Goldman Sachs who landed a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank for his dating app ‘Hater’

You're probably wondering. Why the hell would I invest in a Youtuber?

In the words of Jay Z, "Im not a businessman. Imma 'Business'... MAN!"

Thats right. creators themselves are businesses in their own right. So investing in YouTubers holds many similarities to investing in the next big start-up.

1. In 2022, YouTube reached over 2.6 billion monthly active users! Astonishing!

2. YouTube's ad revenue in 2022 was 29 BILLION USD!

3. YouTube shared 55% of its revenue with creators, equaling approximately 17 BILLION USD! Mr. Beast is on track to become YouTube's first BILLIONAIRE, with many more to follow.

On top of allowing users to invest in creators, Everbloom also actively invest in YouTubers, helping them grow not only with funding but also by providing operational support, sourcing brand deals, and connecting with top YouTube strategists and editors.

Now, you can invest directly alongside Everbloom.

By purchasing a creator's token, you can invest in your favorite YouTuber & then become entitled to receive a portion of their future earnings and additional exclusive perks!

Everbloom is made possible through the use of smart contracts, enabling a seamless & transparent user experience.

The best part? creator's revenue shares can be bought and sold on secondary markets, with a portion of those sales going back to the creator.

So how can you get involved?

Everbloom launches on Tuesday, April 11th at 4 pm UTC, and is exclusively available for people with early access. Early access gives you the chance to invest in creators at the ground level at the same valuation as Everbloom, prior to the Everbloom Accelerator Program. ‘Read more here’.

Lucky for you, The Scoops got you. We have been lucky enough to have been allocated exclusive early access spots while they last. To claim early access. Go ahead & join Everbloom Discord & say ‘The Triple Scoop' in the chat.

⛓️ NFT’s

• NFT Total Market Cap - $22.35B - 7 day change  +0.52%

• Volume Traded Prev 7 Days - $307.4M -1.11%

• Nakamigos rally back up to 0.8ETH showing strength following their drop prior to the week.

• The NFT market has been ramping up slightly as investors show increased signs of activity.

• Over the past 3 months, we have seen a whopping +157% increase in NFT trading volume & +4.8% increase in total market cap - not so shabby.

• We will have a better indicator of market health once volume flows into the Blue chips

• The above indications still suggest a market bottom forming before a leg up.

• Crypto markets have certainly had a positive few months, therefore we would expect inflows from the crypto market to cycle into NFTs should history repeat '2021'

UPCOMING DROP 💧

It looks like Garbage friends are hitting us on April 10th. From what we gather, owning a famous 'Invisible Friend NFT' will give you eligibility to mint a Garbage Friend.

Invisible Friends had roaring success when they launched, it was one of the hyped-up projects of all time. But it can't be ignored that the landscape was different back then and the market was far more frothy.

Garbage Friends is witnessing high amounts of engagement on Twitter, and by the looks of it, they have a strong community rallying behind them. But time will tell if this Mint will be a hit! Or, simply Garbage...

Whilst the NFT market is showing signs of recovery, we remain very cautious about minting new & speculative plays at this point in time.

🧵 THREAD OF THE WEEK

You may not be starting your own NFT Project, but this gives you clear insights into what makes a project successful. Super helpful when evaluating which project you want to dive into.

Opensea Pro Launches For Professional Traders

 🔎 At a glance:

• Previously known as Gem v2, OpenSea Pro has launched to target professional NFT traders.

• It will operate with 0% fees and pull listings across 170 marketplaces.

• Key features include advanced floor sweeping, instant sales, inventory management, optimizing gas fees, a watchlist feature, and it will be available on mobile devices.

🕵️ Scoops take:

The latest blow in the marketplace war has been a vicious overhand left from OpenSea. They were clearly threatened by the emergence of Blur which you can tell from the 0% fee decision but they are coming back hard for that top spot. A huge advantage for OpenSea is the stats surrounding active users and this is despite Blur taking the top spot in terms of trading volume. Over the last week, OpenSea registered 91,000 unique Ethereum wallet users compared to Blurs' 41,000. The battle seems fair for now but we wouldn't be surprised to see an under-the-belt brawl emerge especially given how inflated Blurs' trading volume statistics are skewed by wash-trading.

Bugatti Unveil Most Expensive NFT

🔎 At a glance:

• The luxury car company has teamed up with Asprey Studio.

• The upcoming NFT drop will be called The Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection

• The collection launches as both a physical and generative artwork with 111 items.

• Eggs numbered 1-100 will be between $20k - $50k and numbers 100-111 $200k+

🕵️ Scoops take:

"What color's your Buggati"?

The interesting point to take from this upcoming collection is the decision to launch in Bitcoin. Perhaps a smart move, it's a new playing field witnessing its own Bull Run, punters love the latest shiny object, and Ordinal NFTs are exactly that. It could very well be the new way for blue-chip / high-value projects to assert some market dominance whilst it is a fresh medium in the space. So far we have seen Yuga Labs and DeGods enter the Ordinals market and we expect some more big players to cement their place within the Ordinals market.

We have no doubt that this collection sells out. Frankly, the above prices are chump change for Buggati owners, and with Buggati being such a prestigious automotive brand we only see this going in one direction.

Metamask Steps Up User Functionality With Browser Extension

🔎 At a glance:

• Huges changes to arguably Web3's most used wallet.

• Users can now enjoy a dedicated NFT tab and transfer NFTs without the need for a 3rd party.

• The extension will be mobile friendly.

🕵️ Scoops take:

What companies are now finding is that as the space continues to grow and we are seeing many more join, adaptations, and improvements are needed to maintain market share. The real winners from the constant upgrades are us, the users. We can sit back and watch the Web3 giants battle it out and have the freedom to decide what platforms are most convenient for us. Tools, exchanges & platforms are working endlessly to stay one step ahead of the competition. Keep up the good work guys and girls.

KODA DECOUPLING & VESSEL CLAIM GOES LIVE

🔎 At a glance:

• Check out our Newsletter on the 28th of March explaining Legends of Mara in detail

• It went live on the 6th of April.

• Current Floor prices are: Otherdeed 1.62 ETH , Vessels 0.38 ETH , Expanded 1.12 ETH and Otherside Koda 10.5 ETH

🕵️ Scoops take:

If you had any doubts about the top dogs in this space then this should dispel them. Following the latest launch, there are roughly 350,000 NFTs in the space that come under the Yuga Labs brand.

OtherDeeds 100k, Vessels & Kodas 100k, MAYC & Meebits 40k, BAYC & Punks 20k, 10KTF 40k, HVs & BAKC 40k.

We've said it a hundred times and we will say it again... DO NOT FADE YUGA.

🌐 WEB3

Japan Green Lights National Web3 Growth

At a glance 🔎

• Japan's Liberal Democratic Party has established a white paper set to boost the country's Web3 & Crypto industry

• The document proposes more tax reforms, clearer accounting standards, and a DAO law.

• Japan, already seen as a web3 leader on the international stage is set to widen the gap even further.

🕵️ Scoops take:

The fact that this has been passed as part of the officially named ‘Cool Japan’ project is incredible in its own right, however, this move really does carry weight. We saw Hong Kong turning to Japan this week for Web3 advice and they’re certainly shaping up to be a true pioneer in the space. This isn’t just some whacky uninformed government incentive (thank god, we have enough of those already…) Japanese companies are putting their money where their mouth is and putting serious $$$ into the space. Mobile operator NTT Docomo has pledged to invest up to $4 BILLION into web3 infrastructure and many financial players are issuing stablecoins. We’re delighted to see Japan taking this opportunity to carve the path in terms of National frameworks and regulation - something we clearly need to be established for a Web3 future. 🇯🇵🚀

Web3 Gaming Receives $16M Vote Of Confidence

At a glance 🔎

• Market maker and investment firm DWF Labs has invested $16 million in Web3 company RACA

• The funding will help RACA continue its goal of becoming an expansive Web3 gaming ecosystem.

• DWF Labs has emerged as one of the most active investors during the crypto bear market placing $20m in Synthetix last month + $40m into fetch.ai

🕵️ Scoops take:

Nothing says BULLISH more than throwing down $16m in a bear. RACA, a community-driven DAO, have come a long way since their early days of being the manager of the NFTs for Maya Musk (Yup, Mama Elon…) and their ambitions within the gaming space are legit - RACA's aiming to bring together NFTs, DeFi, and gaming, creating a mouthwatering combo for gamers and crypto enthusiasts alike. With their unique non-custodial, multi-chain approach to asset management, they're set to break barriers and reshape the way we interact with our digital assets. Certainly one to watch... 👀

Google Partners With Celo to Support Sustainable Web3 Innovation

At a glance 🔎

• Celo the mobile-first proof-of-stake layer 1 blockchain protocol, has announced a collaboration with Google Cloud

• Partnership aims to support sustainability-focused startups within the Celo network by providing resources and support they need to build and scale Web3 applications that prioritise environmental sustainability.

• Google to leverage its expertise in cloud computing and sustainable technology, whilst Celo will utilise experience in blockchain and DeFi.

🕵️ Scoops take:

Well hello there cloud collaboration! Now, this isn’t Google’s first foray into the space and it sure as hell won’t be their last. Web3’s taken a lot of heat over its sustainability challenges and with valid reason. Despite Ethereum’s move to proof of stake, which boasted a massive eco benefit via a reduction in energy consumption, there’s still a long way to go to map out a carbon-neutral future. Google’s interest and support of the space despite recent challenging times just goes to show they haven't dropped the ball and understand the long-term value. Here’s to some new green shoots of innovation! 💻🌱🚀 #googlegang

😡 THE REKT SECTION 😡

With self custody, comes great responsibility.

In moments of FOMO & Frenzy buyers can become impartially sighted literally... and will end up fat-fingering on an item.

We have just witnessed one of the worst to date.

A user wanted to bulk bid 2500x at 0.04 ETH to farm $blur points. However, instead of changing the quantity it sent 1 collection bid at 100 ETH for the item.

A huge win for the seller but what a shocker for the buyer.

🏆 WEEKLY WINNER 🏆

We love new innovations and ways to improve the space. It ensures that we as users can get access to the best possible services.
