During the past day, there have been innovations in 2 metaverse coin projects. After these developments, an increase in crypto money prices was observed. Here are the details…
Playboy partners with metaverse coin SAND
According to an announcement Monday, the virtual version of the Playboy mansion will feature NFTs, along with a host of gaming, social and scheduled events. Iconic “lifestyle brand” Playboy has teamed up with NFT-based Metaverse gaming platform The Sandbox to launch MetaMansion. MetaMansion is also based on Playboy’s Rabbitars NFT project in October 2021, which consists of 11,953 tokenized rabbit avatars selling for around $800 each. Hodlers of these NFTs will soon be able to access exclusive experiences in the virtual host. However, the details and launch date are yet to be disclosed.
At the time of writing, Rabbitar NFTs on OpenSea have a base price of 0.19 Ether (ETH), roughly $206. This marks a 74.25 percent drop since its launch in October. The Sandbox also stated that users will be able to connect their neighboring NFT lands to MetaMansion later this quarter. There could be strong demand for the land, given that someone on The Sandbox-based Snoopverse in December paid $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg’s neighbor.
Sebastien Borget, director of operations and co-founder of The Sandbox, said, “Playboy has spanned generations and attracted Web3 with early success. It is symbolic with its lifestyle and entertainment content.” Playboy entered the NFT space in April last year after a series of tokenized center pages came out through Nifty Gateway. The Sandbox has managed to pull a long list of mainstream partnerships from popular personalities and brands. As Cryptokoin.com reported, this increased the interest in the project. For example, it is home to Care Bears, Warner Music, The Walking Dead, Snoop Dogg, Deadmau5, Atari, The Smurfs, and Adidas.
GameStop launches NFT marketplace
Meanwhile, GameStop opened up the NFT market. GameStop has launched open beta access to the NFT marketplace with initial support for digital art collections. The company describes the market as a “non-custodial, Ethereum Layer 2 based marketplace.” This marketplace is built on Loopring (LRC). GameStop promotes this marketplace as a way to truly own digital assets that are “represented and secured on the blockchain.” Users can link various crypto wallets to the site, including the company’s own GameStop Wallet.
The site currently lists 53,300 NFT and 236 NFT collections. While GameStop currently only supports NFTs printed on its platform, it has collections available in other markets as well, such as OpenSea. GameStop has released two NFTs currently not for sale for market launch. While initial reports are waiting for GameStop to integrate NFTs with video games, this feature is currently not available. Instead, the company will expand the platform to Web3 games and other Ethereum layers in the future.
In particular, an upcoming Immutable X integration; Illuvium will provide access to NFTs associated with games like Gods Unchained, Guild of Guardians, Ember Sword, and Planet Quest. With GameStop’s announcement, the price of Loopring’s LRC token jumped slightly. LRC rose from $0.37 to as high as $0.412 over the past day.
