• The mints will highlight Art, Music, Gaming + more

DeGods 3

At a glance 🔎 

• The project took to Twitter to announce that Season 3 is coming on the 9^th of August.

• Frank and the team are keeping the details pretty close to their chest with not much slipping out.

• What was shared is that Season 3 DeGods will have the same traits as the current DeGods but in a reimagined style.

  🕵️ Scoops take:

If there was anyone who would not let the state of the market dictate how they want to do things, it's Frank.

He understands the need to continually drive attention to his project in this market, and as a master marketer, the guy certainly knows how to stir the pot.

He will no doubt be aware of the current cool sentiment amongst the space, but once again, when it comes to DeGods out comes the ETH.

Following the news of the new season, the floor shot up over 2 ETH and doesn't look like retracing anytime soon as the hype will just continue to ramp up ahead of the launch.

Whales have continually scooped up DeGods as their conversion rate is extremely high, for those that have been bullish from the start, that sentiment isn't going to die down anytime soon.

Just like the rest of the space...we wait in anticipation.

Captainz x One Piece

At a glance 🔎

• Karen, a member of the Memeland team has announced on Discord that the collaboration between Captainz and One Piece (Manga Series) is happening.

• Unfortunately, all the details haven't been released yet but it has been assumed that One Piece will launch with the support of Casetify (the phone case company)

• It has also been suggested that One Piece will be launching an NFT which will contain personal unique experiences, art and benefits. 

• The rumours don't stop there, it is being whispered that the NFT can be morphed into a trait for Captainz.

  🕵️ Scoops take:

Another project that continues to innovate, entertain & push Web3 forward despite market conditions is Memeland.

The confirmation that they are building their own trait store which will be powered by $MEME shows they have thought out their plans well and are on course to execute a masterpiece.

With the upcoming $MEME Fire Sale, we remain bullish on the success. A measured expectation will see a $200m market cap which will deliver a 20x which has the investor's mouths salivating.

Don't let the market sentiment put you off, the right projects are moving in the right direction.

Starbucks Seeing Huge Success 

At a glance 🔎

• Following the launch of their latest collection, stats have been released to show the true measure of how well they are doing and where they can go.

• Every single Investor who purchased a Starbucks Odyssey NFT is in profit.

• With only 0.42% of the 100m worldwide customers holding an NFT currently, they have a chance to dominate their sector.

  🕵️ Scoops take: 

We don't want to repeat ourselves, but we all repeat the same coffee order anyway, the objective of the Odyssey program is remarkable. By showcasing all elements of the company through digital assets, they are taking customers on a Web3 journey that will accelerate adoption in the space.

For Web2 companies making the Web3 move, they have to ensure they maintain their core community values to retain customers.

This is exactly what Starbucks is doing. Who would have thought a year ago..Starbucks?!?

Again, despite the market sentiment we are seeing huge moves from Web2 companies making the jump across, with recent successes of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and now with Starbucks, a strong benchmark has been set.

New BAYC Mech Fighter Game from Yuga, Animoca & nWay unite to create ‘Wreck League’

At a glance 🔎

• Game developer nWay is creating a 3D mech-fighting game, 'Wreck League', incorporating Bored Ape Yacht Club and other Yuga Labs-created Ethereum NFT collections. It will launch in September.

• 'Wreck League' will be available as both an NFT-driven and a free-to-play, non-crypto game, and will feature 1v1 battles initially, expanding to larger team battles later without becoming a MOBA game.

• The game will offer in-game mechs and parts as Ethereum NFTs, which can be assembled and disassembled. NFT creators can sell their creations as playable characters in the game's non-crypto store.

🕵️ Scoops take:

Crazy exciting developments we’re seeing here folks! By merging the fervour of the Bored Ape Yacht Club with the thrills of 3D mech battles, and accommodating both crypto-savvy and traditional gamers, nWay demonstrates how digital ownership can reshape gaming narratives. The decision to avoid a 'pay-to-win' model is commendable, ensuring a balance between strategy, chance, and quality of assets. Yet, the intriguing aspect lies in enabling NFT creators to monetise their creations in a non-crypto context, signifying a potential revenue model for user-generated content creators in the metaverse.

Web3 Game Launching On Amazon Prime

At a glance 🔎

• Mystic Moose has partnered with Amazon Prime Gaming to bring the Web3 game Mojo Melee to Prime members, with monthly in-game items and digital collectibles drops for six months.

• Mojo Melee, designed by industry veterans, is a hybrid game with a unique deck-building component. It also introduces "Mod-able" Mojos and customizable 3D digital collectibles.

• Mojo Melee is part of the Planet Mojo ecosystem, a series of interconnected Web3 games allowing players to own in-game assets and influence the project's future direction. It's available now on desktop browsers.

  🕵️ Scoops take:

We’re looking at a pretty darn significant shift in the mainstream adoption of web3 games. By leveraging Amazon's vast user base and adding monthly in-game rewards, Mojo Melee is not only set to attract a larger audience, but also incentivise consistent engagement. What makes this development particularly exciting is the introduction of "Mod-able" Mojos, which could revolutionise player interaction and customisation in the web3 space. As the boundaries between digital and physical ownership continue to blur, this partnership is a glimpse into a future where gamers exercise tangible control over their in-game assets, thereby democratising the virtual space. 🦧

Crypto Winter Can't Chill Puma's Web3 Ambitions

At a glance 🔎

• Puma is embracing Web3 and blockchain to reach a new virtual consumer base, seeing the metaverse as a significant commerce opportunity beyond virtual merchandise and collectibles.

• The sports brand is testing and releasing its products, especially innovative shoes, as NFTs, reducing excess inventory, and gauging popularity in the metaverse before producing physical versions.

• Despite skepticism around NFTs and Web3, Puma's head of emerging marketing tech and Web3, Ivan Dashkov, believes these technologies will eventually integrate into everyday life, much like the ".com" era.

🕵️ Scoops take:

Puma's venture into Web3, despite the broadly chilly sentiment surrounding the space, signifies a wider shift in the business world - realizing the potential of the metaverse for brand visibility and consumer engagement. By continuing to launch products as NFTs, Puma is tapping into the unique dynamics of the digital economy, offering innovative and sustainable ways to control production and appeal to collectors. As businesses like Puma blend real-world goods with virtual offerings, they also bridge the understanding gap for the masses, potentially accelerating Web3's assimilation into our everyday lives. This shift illustrates a future where digital and physical commerce converges seamlessly. 🐈

🪙 CRYPTO CRUNCH

Interested in learning to trade? Click below to join our affiliated Crypto & Forex trading Discord group - The Take Prophet Collective

• Crypto Total Market Cap $1.16T - 24/hour change -1.14%

• Volume Traded 24/hours - $34.8B 17.5%

• More of the same but it’s crunch-time soon.

• News broke that Binance could face US fraud charges which shook the market and took us back below $29K before climbing back above.

• It is only a matter of time before we fully reclaim the liquidity below and charge upwards to $32K beyond. Which will undoubtedly cause Alts to skyrocket, especially with falling Bitcoin dominance.

• Unless you are a full-time chartist, it’s going to be extremely hard to time the local bottom.

• Accumulation of Bitcoin, ETH, or your favorite ALT coins at these prices for the mid to long-term is likely a safe bet. Of course, there will always be fluctuations, but it is better to buy & hold than to miss the bottom & the token leaves you in the dust.

  Crypto narratives to focus on this summer

• - AI Tokens

• - Telegram trading Bot tokens

• - Decentralised Exchange Tokens

😡 THE REKT SECTION 😡

GameStop

Once again, the lawmakers are creating such chaos it is we who are having to deal with the burden.

The latest to be scared off is GameStop, who have announced they are going to remove crypto wallets due to regulatory uncertainty.

Their wallet programme launched last May and it has already had to set a day for execution which will be the 1^st of November.

Both iOS and Chrome wallet extensions will be removed and investors have been informed that it will be winding down the company's crypto activities.

The sooner we get clarity over securities the better and we hope all outcomes are like the XRP finding.

🏆 WEEKLY WINNER 🏆

Deekay Motion

What the Front was the latest collection launched by the "ordinary animator" and what a launch it has been.

Despite the collection only being 50 items, the floor pricings can be hard to determine but when the numbers do what they did, it can only be deemed a success.

The project minted for quite an expensive 0.35 ETH but when there are so few in supply, demand plays a huge part.

It didn't take long for the collection to mint out and now the floor is sitting at 2.25 ETH.

A very worthy mint for those who were able to get involved.

And that's a wrap for today gang!
