Ticketmaster
announced today that the Ethereum NFT token-gating feature is live for artists, and it was developed in partnership with popular metal band Avenged Sevenfold, which has its own Deathbats Club NFT collection and tested the token-gating feature ahead of the full rollout. Within Web3 communities, NFTs have been used as access passes for digital spaces and live events alike, serving up perks for holders. Now ticketing giant Ticketmaster may bring token-gating to a much larger audience with the launch of a feature that lets artists offer up special access to concert and event tickets for eligible NFT owners. In Avenged Sevenfold’s case, owners of the 10,000 Deathbats Club Ethereum NFTs were offered early access to buy tickets to the band’s upcoming New York City and Los Angeles arena shows in June.

🖼 ApeCoin Community Revolts Against Proposed NFT Collections

ApeCoin
Community has voted on a proposal regarding the creation of a new NFT series, with the proposal ultimately being rejected. The proposed NFT collections, ApeCoin Armory Club and ApeCoin Pet Club, were designed to have 20,000 NFTs each. The NFTs would have been distributed for free to the crypto community, with the estimated cost of $168,000. Despite the rejection, the proposal showed great potential for the NFT collections. The multi-link nature of the collections could have created opportunities for them to be linked with other NFT and metaverse projects such as Otherside, Decentraland, and The Sandbox. This would have allowed the collections to appear in the 3D worlds of other metaverse projects. The full proposal showcased images of the NFTs, with the ape logo appearing on a shield. The proposal also included images of the pets that would have formed the ApeCoin Pet Club. The proposal suggested that all NFTs from both collections would have been unique in their own way, some with more rare features.

🇮🇩 Indonesian government looks to NFTs to preserve cultural heritage

The
Deputy of Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy explains how NFTs and cryptocurrency can help solve social and economic challenges within Indonesia. One of the primary benefits of blockchain technology is the ability to record and capture information in a permanent, tamper-proof record. Once data is on a blockchain network, it cannot be altered, making it an ideal solution for record-keeping. Tokenized assets, such as nonfungible tokens (NFTs), can also be placed on a blockchain. This can verify ownership while demonstrating that certain events occurred at particular times. For example, the Meta History Museum tokenized data from the war in Ukraine in May 2022, placing the information on a blockchain network to preserve records of the war.

🤟 Bored Ape metaverse land sales dominance threatened by (what appears to be) wash trading

Sales
for Bored Ape’s Otherdeed metaverse land NFTs — easily the hottest virtual property brand around — have been booming during the first quarter of this year, closing in on $120 million in volume. The rise in the collection's trading volume means Otherdeed tokens rank as the second-best-selling NFT collection during the first quarter of this year. Bored Ape Yacht Club , also tied to Otherdeeds. Wash trading is when assets are traded between wallets owned by the same individual or company. It can create not only artificial volume but also manipulate the price. This month, however, sales volumes for a lesser-known collection, also tied to a nascent metaverse platform called MG Lands, have been holding their own; even outpacing Otherdeeds’ sales at one point. However, it appears MG Lands’ rapid ascendance from relative obscurity might be, instead of a feel-good business story, another case of artificial “wash” trading.

📊 NFT Trading Volumes Hit $2B in February, Highest Since LUNA Crash, Thanks to Blur

According
to Web3 data platform DappRadar’s latest industry report, NFT trading volumes reached $2 billion in February – the highest number since before the meteoric crash of Terra and its UST and LUNA tokens in May 2022. The war for market share in the non-fungible token (NFT) space may be having positive impacts after all. Much of the surge is attributable to the rising popularity of zero-fee marketplace Blur. While NFT sales, the number of tokens traded, decreased about 32% from January, trading volume, the amount of cryptocurrency transacted across those trades, increased about 120%. Much of this has to do with incentivized trades ahead of Blur’s native token airdrop in mid-February. Since Blur launched in October, it's been focusing on targeting floor-sweeping NFT traders looking to make large-scale purchases with zero fees.
