We know the overall sentiment is down. But listen to Scoop and you still get the Alpha.
On Friday we highlighted Winds of Yawanawa as a nice pickup at 6.9 ETH, Well it now sits at 12 ETH after a retrace from 14ETH. Well done to those who got in. We did say itās time to start paying attention.
The reason for the meteoric rise in this collection is infamous collector Machi Big Brother scooped up a load. He is probably a scoop reader. š¤£
ProTip* If you are still fading Scoop Premium. This Winds of Yawanawa project was shared pre-launch.
We are definitely starting to see PAMPs across the board.
Interestingly the Flooring Protocol launched with their token $FLC. The project enhances liquidity for NFTs, by further tokenizing them with Crypto, Pudgy Penguins has the $Ī¼PPG token via Flooring Protocol, allowing traders to speculate on Pudgys without needing to purchase a full NFT and simply buy say $100 of tokens.
Interesting for sure & could pave the wave for some interesting market movements in the near future.

Azukiās latest recruit - Is the project heading in a new direction?
At a glance š
The project has announced that they have hired a games production manager.
Jonathan Chao, previously of Riot Games and Ubisoft will be taking up the new role with Azuki.
It looks like they are still recruiting for the new division.
šµļø Scoops take:
The most important thing when youāve taken a bump and lost direction is to make the bold decision of branching into the up-and-coming sector within the space.
The gaming sector is not something you would have associated with Azuki but with this latest recruit, it seems like there is a plan in place.
Itās an exciting new direction and hopefully, one that will see the project get back to the highs of 31 ETH from the current 4.2 ETH.

Clothing brand, BAPE, is launching 1000 T-shirts in partnership with BAYC.
Details regarding the drop arenāt confirmed other than the date of 4th November 2023 at ApeFest Hong Kong.
1000 T-shirts are being made, each with its own number e.g. 0001/1000
šµļø Scoops take:
Clothing isnāt one that massively excites us, especially when BAYC holders have those IP rights which can let them create something that could look better than what these designs may be.
T-shirts with BAPE arenāt going to be the catapult to get this project back up the charts.
Our criticism of Yuga Labs generally has been too much diversification of projects too quickly. Hopefully, something a little more exciting will drop at the event.
Stay tuned.

Actual details of what the collaboration is have yet to be shared.
Memeland is dealing with āBusy Octoberā so it may be a while until we find out.
The Michelin 3xplorer club launch hasnāt got off to the best start with the floor price hovering at the mint price and threats of a supply cut.
šµļø Scoops take:
When a Web2 company is making that jump to Web3 it is important they get a stable partner from within the space.
Their launch is falling a bit flat just now despite the cool utilities that the project promises.
With a bit of air pumped in, they could soon find themselves heading in the right direction.

The Secret to Profiting & Winning Big in this market
This weekās premium scoop is not to be missed if you want to level up your trading game and gain actionable insights you can learn today.
Hello Degens, weāre in Web3 for one thingā¦ the tech.. right? Seriously though it can be a stressful enough space as it is, so it is massively important you learn how to profit, make money and ultimately win in the crypto space.
The majority of people in trading, lose money. this goes for most markets, but especially for crypto & NFTs, and as a member of the Scoop family, we donāt want you to become a statistic. So how can you profit & win? What is the number 1 thing that separates the winners from the losers today?
The answerā¦
š WEB3
At a glance š
Despite market challenges, Web3 gaming attracted a robust $600M in Q3 investments, pushing the year-to-date funding to a hefty $2.3B.
The a16z Speedrun accelerator stands out, earmarking up to $75M for cutting-edge gaming startups, highlighting significant VC confidence in blockchain gaming's potential.
While down 50% from 2022's Q3, blockchain gaming continues to lead dApp market sectors, underscoring its resilience amidst increasing regulatory scrutiny.
šµļø Scoops take:
Even with the market playing hard to get, investors threw $600M at it last quarter and that is one huge vote of confidence to their long term trajectory of the space. WIth major player such as a16z involved, this shouldnāt be overlooked. Sure, the stakes are high, especially with the refs (regulators) watching but if this game pays off, these early backers will be rewarded handsomelyā¦š°

Sega's Co-COO Shuji Utsumi expresses optimism about blockchain gaming, seeing NFTs as potential game-changers despite earlier skepticism about play-to-earn models.
The company licenses its Sangokushi Taisen game to blockchain firm Double Jump.Tokyo for a new NFT-based trading card game, primarily targeting the Asian market.
Acknowledging the challenges of crypto wallets, Utsumi views this move as part of Sega's broader strategy to adapt to advanced technologies and explore the "unknown world" of blockchain.
šµļø Scoops take:
Imagine if those Sonic the Hedgehog rings became real digital gold? Sega dipping its toes into blockchain gaming is like a classic 90s band embracing auto-tuneāit feels surprising but also inevitable. Sega's Co-COO, Utsumi, is both curious and cautious, seeing potential in a world where gamers truly own their in-game assets. But hurdles like crypto wallets, reminiscent of trying to explain Wi-Fi in the dial-up era, remain. Sega's move suggests the gaming big leagues are gearing up for a blockchain level-up.

MetaMask, a prominent crypto wallet, was temporarily deleted from the Apple App Store due to an "internal operational error," but was reinstated within hours.
The removal wasn't due to security issues or app functionality, and no user action was required; however, the MetaMask team urged vigilance against potential fake apps during the outage.
Despite this incident, other major crypto apps remained unaffected, and MetaMask's quick return indicated the issue was an anomaly rather than a policy-driven action by Apple.
šµļø Scoops take:
MetaMask's "blink-and-you-missed-it" vanishing act from Apple's stage wasn't a David Copperfield trick; it's a real-world snag in crypto's mainstream saga, minus the drama. Imagine it like a bar's top-shelf liquor briefly going missing ā annoying, yes, but the party goes on. The swift comeback calms the "Apple vs. Crypto" storm in a teacup, yet the false alarm should keep us street-smart about crypto's space in big tech's neighbourhood.

The SEC responded to the news, saying. āBe careful what you read about onlineā
Once the rumor was dispelled, the price dropped back down to the Mid $28K regions.
The rumor caused 100M in liquidations & generated $35 Billion in volume.
One thing that is certain. The reaction, even to a rumor, shows the clear appetite for a Bitcoin & the crypto bull run.

š” THE REKT SECTION š”
SBF
As many of you will know - the trial is underway and unfortunately SBF finds himself back in this section based on the latest testimony.
Former executive, Nishad Singh, took to the stand and testified that SBF used customer funds to buy real estate, make investments and purchase celebrity endorsements.
Legal commentators are saying this testimony could be massive in the aim of the guilty verdict.
With many of our readers losing out on their investments due to the collapse, the sooner this is all resolved the better.
