🪙 Magnificent Century enters The Sandbox Metaverse
Magnificent Century has announced that it is soon joining the digital space of The Sandbox, also referred to as Sandbox, in this article. The plan looks airtight, and if the team proceeds to join the Metaverse, then it will be the second television series to do so. The first is The Walking Dead. Magnificent Century is a Turkish television series that has been viewed by over 500 million people across the world. It has been termed one of the major milestones in the industry. Magnificent Century will go live for game players, allowing them to create their experiences through NFTs and live interactive events. The global launch of the theme was hosted by Sandbox in Paris. Sebastien Borget, the Chief Operating Officer of Sandbox, expressed their excitement over the collaboration, saying that they were looking forward to having a globally renowned Turkish series on the Metaverse. Sebastien, also the Co-Founder of the platform, believes that having the series on their platform will strengthen their presence in the international market. Making a debut on Metaverse alternatively opens the doors to planning a massive presence on Web3 – the decentralized internet. While it is not exactly out in the open, Web3 is aiming to gain traction in all the important regions via a play-to-earn gaming model. The model basically enables players to leverage their digital holdings for a game.

🖼 Patrick Mahomes To Launch Museum Of Mahomes NFT Brand With New Collection
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, already a two-time Super Bowl champion and MVP, is once again making waves in the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with the upcoming launch of his Museum of Mahomes NFT brand. The "Museum of Mahomes II" collection is expected to include 15,000 NFTs, featuring artwork inspired by Mahomes' impressive NFL career to date. The brand has not yet disclosed which network it will use to mint the NFTs or the price range for the collectables. During his first NFT drop, Mahomes utilized the "Museum of Mahomes" branding and conducted the sale on MakersPlace, a prominent Ethereum NFT marketplace and platform. The Museum of Mahomes NFT brand is spearheaded by digital agency D-O-M, which also played a role in the earlier drop. A portion of the proceeds from the Museum of Mahomes NFT sales will be directed towards Mahomes' charitable foundation, 15 and the Mahomies Foundation. The foundation focuses on empowering children in underserved communities through various initiatives. While venturing into his own NFT endeavours, Mahomes has also been associated with Dapper Labs' NFL All Day.

Lens Protocol Profiles NFT Drops Over 60% By Concerns Of Users
Lens Protocol, a composable and decentralized social graph built on the Polygon PoS network, is empowering users to create and control their own social media content. Lens Protocol is currently testing an invitation system within its ecosystem. Early joiners have been granted the right to invite new users, and if the test results are positive, the invitation system will be expanded to allow more community members to invite friends to join. This approach aims to foster community growth and engagement within the Lens social ecology.
In the past seven days, the floor price of Lens Protocol Profiles NFT has experienced a significant drop of over 60%, possibly due to the recent launch of the test invitation system. Some users may have sold their NFTs out of concern or anticipation of changes within the ecosystem.

Launched in January 2023 as a follow-up to Checks, Opepen, which ultimately was released over a series of drops, became a staple in the rise of open editions.
After only a few days of back and forth, Butcher, the creator of the NFTs at the center of the conversation, blew the whole thing apart by creating a custom Opepen image for ThreadGuy.
As the custom Opepen craze was reaching a head, Butcher sent it over the edge on July 16 by launching an open edition collection called the Opepen Threadition, which featured a tokenized version of the custom PFP he made for ThreadGuy.
Priced at 0.001 ETH each, the mint had a generous aspect to it as well; all proceeds from the sale of Opepen Threaditions were to be allocated back to ThreadGuy.
At the time of writing, the open edition has amassed upwards of 34,000 mints, generating more than 34 ETH (around $65,000).

🖼 Trump Reveals NFT Income, Crypto Holdings in New Disclosure
The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, has provided more information about his financial state, detailing income earned from speaking fees, the sale of his Washington, D.C. hotel and digital collectibles, Bloomberg reported. In a revised disclosure, filed with the Office of Government Ethics, he reveals the exact sums for more than $1 billion in income received from these and other sources that he had previously declared only in broad terms to the Federal Election Commission. In the earlier disclosure submitted in April, Trump, now running for a second, non-consecutive term in the 2024 election, was allowed to indicate broad ranges for some types of income like dividends, capital gains, interest, rent, and royalties. Other types of income, such as salaries and speaking fees, he is expected to disclose in exact amounts, the report noted. The presidential hopeful gave more details on the company that receives licensing fees for using Trump’s image on a collection of NFTs, CIC Digital LLC, in the latest disclosure. The latter owns a U.S. bank account with less than $1,000 but also an Ethereum wallet holding between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of crypto.

🖼 Google Plays Nice With NFTs, Starbucks Puts Ex-MLB Star’s NFT Project on Deck
Google is allowing NFTs in games in its play store, while Starbucks recruits Micah Johnson’s Aku character for its next at-bat with NFTs. This week, Google made a big shift in their policy towards NFTs, allowing apps in the Google Play store to include the ability to buy, sell or earn tokenized assets. Meanwhile, Starbucks Odyssey, the brand’s Web3 loyalty program, announced their next Stamp would be "designed by Aku," the NFT character launched by former LA Dodgers player-turned-artist Micah Johnson. In other news, Snoop Doog and a16z-backed decentralized music venture Sound announced a $20 million funding round and we got another “phygital” sneaker drop. Google made a big announcement this week, doing a 180 on in-game tokenized assets such as NFTs and allowing Play Store apps to include the ability to buy, sell and earn digital assets. Developers who incorporate blockchain-based elements are required make it clear on their Play Store page and make sure they don’t run afoul of Google’s gambling and contests policies. In June, tweets from Beats by Dre and AkuDreams teased a collab with Aku-themed headphones but no details have been revealed about when those Beats are dropping.
