Apple’s VR/MR brings the metaverse back into focus – Crypto News

Published

A portal to the metaverse has opened, and its point of origin was Apple’s official revealed of their new Vision Pro VR headset at WWDC 2023 yesterday. My thoughts? Apple’s new mixed reality headset is the most significant thing to happen to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) since CryptoPunks.

Digital property is still an unrelated concept to some. For those same people, the idea that digital items can have financial value seems artificial at best, and nefarious at worst. But when they get to experience these assets through augmented or mixed reality, a great awakening will occur, and they’ll finally understand how tangible digital assets really are.

CryptoPunks isn’t noteworthy because it’s the first NFT. CryptoPunks are important because their existence inspired most of what we see in the NFT space today, including the ERC-721 token standard, 10,000 collection sizes, and iconic traits. Just like CryptoPunks, Apple’s VR headset isn’t the first to market, but it is likely to inspire the future of NFTs and usher the masses into the metaverse.

Notable Happenings

  • The SEC has filed a lawsuit against Binance and Coinbase for alleged securities related to the sale of unregistered securities. These alleged securities include tokens that power many NFT projects like The Sandbox, Decentraland, Axie Infinity, and even blockchain’s main transacting tokens like Polygon’s $MATIC, Solana’s $SOL, Cardano’s $ADA, and Binance’s $BNB.
  • Azuki is rocking and Twitter is abuzz, talking about Azuki’s rise to a 1-year highpoint in floor price. We’ve seen some massive sales for rare Azukis including this Rank 420 that sold for over 161 ETH.
  • Frank DeGods announced a new Dust Labs product called De[id] that features wallet delegation for wallet security, and Twitter connectivity that allows holders to be auto-followed/unfollowed by official degods and Y00ts accounts.
  • Open Founder Jack Butcher celebrated Apple’s new product announcement with an announcement of his own, revealing his own entry into the OpenEn ecosystem. Openen holders can now opt-in to redeem their NFTs for the chance to win a new Openen designed by Butcher himself.

  • A Polygon collection called Weee Did It Palz blitzed its way to the top of the Polygon Collection Rankings. This feat was accomplished without using official Twitter and Discord accounts, and with no sales taking place on OpenSea or Magic Eden. Instead, these sales are ripping on the Elements marketplace.

  • DeGods has had a big week and landed at the 8 spot, possibly from speculation leading up to the De[id] reveal.
