Today’s top news:
Crypto majors fall Sunday after major recovery bounce; BTC at $69k
Japan’s crypto-friendly PM wins landslide election, Japan markets soar
White House to host next roundtable w/ banks & crypto firms on Tuesday
MegaETH revealed that TGE is dependent on 3 primary KPIs
BNKR leads weekend price action as fees level up
Japan’s Crypto-Friendly PM Wins Landslide, Sending Japanese Markets
Japan just gave crypto bulls a reason to look East.
📌 What Happened
Sanae Takaichi, leader of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democrat Party, secured a projected 274-326 seats out of 465 in Japan’s lower house on Sunday, crushing the opposition and cementing her status as Japan’s strongest leader in years.
The “Takaichi trade” immediately kicked in: USD/JPY climbed 0.2% to 157, while BTC/JPY jumped nearly 5%.
The victory gives her a mandate to push through sweeping reforms, including plans to slash crypto taxes from 55% to a flat 20%, allow loss carryforwards, reclassify major cryptocurrencies as financial products, and potentially launch crypto ETFs by 2028.
Japan has seen 120%+ year-on-year growth in on-chain value received, according to Chainalysis.
🗣️ What They’re Saying
“My sincerest congratulations to Prime Minister Takaichi on her historic victory, securing the biggest post-war electoral margin in Japanese history.
As [POTUS] has said, she will not let the people of Japan down.
When Japan is strong, the U.S. is strong in Asia, and the Prime Minister’s great relationship with President Trump demonstrates well the lasting bonds between our nations.” – Scott Bessent on X
🧠 Why It Matters
Japan is the world’s third-largest economy, and it’s about to become one of the most crypto-friendly major markets on the planet.
The current 55% tax on crypto gains has driven investors offshore for years. A 20% flat rate plus loss carry forwards would make Japan competitive with Hong Kong and Singapore overnight.
More importantly, Takaichi’s mandate removes political uncertainty. The LDP now has a supermajority that can actually pass legislation. That means faster tax reform, quicker reclassification, and stronger backing for stablecoin and tokenization infrastructure.
The Japanese stock market already responded, pumping 6% on its open Sunday night.
Crypto likely won’t pump overnight on the back of this news.
But we will take any positive tailwinds we can get in these times…

CoinShares said quantum computing poses a theoretical risk to Bitcoin, but not an imminent one.
Researchers estimate millions of qubits would be needed, far beyond today’s quantum machines.
The firm also said any future response should favor gradual upgrades over aggressive protocol changes.
Quantum computing may not be as much of an immediate threat to Bitcoin as some have warned, and any real risk might still be years away.
That’s according to a new research note from digital asset investment firm CoinShares, which argues that while Bitcoin’s cryptography is theoretically vulnerable to future quantum advances, current technology falls far short of posing a practical danger.
“Bitcoin’s quantum vulnerability is not an immediate crisis but a foreseeable engineering consideration, with ample time for adaptation,“ researchers at the firm wrote.
]]>
Quantum attacks involve powerful quantum computers breaking cryptographic keys that secure Bitcoin or other blockchains, enabling attackers to derive private keys from public information.
Such attacks that are aimed at Bitcoin are not imminent because breaking its core cryptography would require quantum machines far beyond anything that exists today, the researchers argue.
Estimates cited by CoinShares suggest an attacker would need millions of qubits, which are orders of magnitude more than current systems, to crack a key within hours or days.
Researchers estimate that even the most advanced quantum computers are 10 to 100,000 times too weak to pose a real-world threat, pushing meaningful risk into the 2030s or later.
Still, legacy addresses could be vulnerable over long timeframes, while attacking active transactions would require near-instant computations that remain far out of reach.
CoinShares said the theoretical quantum risk to Bitcoin stems from algorithms that could eventually expose cryptographic keys or weaken hashing, but stressed that these threats are distant and narrowly scoped.
The firm estimates that about 1.7 million BTC, or roughly 8% of supply, sit in legacy P2PK addresses with exposed public keys, while modern address types hide keys until coins are spent and cannot affect Bitcoin’s supply cap or proof-of-work.
Even in an extreme scenario, CoinShares argued the market impact would be limited, with at most around 10,000 BTC realistically able to be compromised and sold suddenly.
More aggressive fixes could secure the network earlier, but the firm warns they also carry risks, including software bugs, forced assumptions about dormant coins, and erosion of Bitcoin’s neutrality and trust, making gradual, voluntary migration the preferred path.
The takeaway appears to be all about process. CoinShares said in its note that Bitcoin has clear upgrade paths if quantum threats materialize, allowing the network to adapt without disruption, and that the risk should be weighed against fundamentals rather than speculative worst-case scenarios.

Released files related to convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein contain numerous crypto mentions.
New revelations show correspondence with notable early crypto builders and backers.
Other files point to Epstein’s early investments into notable crypto companies.
A search through the trove of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein provides thousands of results related to crypto and Bitcoin, highlighted by Epstein’s early involvement and awareness of notable crypto projects and protocols.
Over the course of the week, Decrypt has highlighted some of the largest stories that emerged from the millions of files released last week by the Department of Justice, including how Epstein invested in Coinbase and Bitcoin firm Blockstream, and had a very close relationship with Tether co-founder Brock Pierce.
But there’s plenty more in the files, including references to major crypto players like Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Strategy co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. Here’s a look at the most surprising crypto mentions from both batches of the Epstein files released by the Department of Justice.
]]>
Coinbase investment
Jeffrey Epstein was an early investor in publicly traded crypto exchange Coinbase, new emails show.
The convicted sex offender invested $3 million in 2014 and was introduced to the opportunity by Tether co-founder Brock Pierce and his investment firm, Blockchain Capital. However, Blockchain told Decrypt that Epstein ultimately invested independently, not through the firm.
Based on the emails, it’s apparent that Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam was personally aware of the investment, which came years after Epstein’s conviction. The investment was made when Coinbase was valued around $400 million; the publicly traded company is now worth $44 billion.
In 2018, Epstein sold around half of his investment back to Blockchain Capital, emails show.
Bitcoin, crypto taxes
Epstein was seeking clarification about Bitcoin regulation and taxes as early as 2018, emails from the first trove of files released by the Department of Justice revealed.
In conversation with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, Epstein suggested that the Treasury Department should create a voluntary disclosure form for crypto gains in an attempt to “fuck all the bad guys.”
Later that year, Epstein noted that crypto should be thought of similarly to the internet, and handled with “coordinated understandings” and international agreements.
Brock Pierce and Epstein
Tether co-founder Brock Pierce communicated with Epstein on multiple occasions about cryptocurrency and women, with all correspondence taking place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, according to the latest batch of files released by the Department of Justice.
At one point, Pierce told Epstein that “he had a great time with the girls,” and Epstein also instructed the crypto entrepreneur to “find him a present” when he was traveling abroad.
Furthermore, Epstein communicated to both sides of an alleged relationship that Pierce had with an individual that Epstein called “his assistant.”The individual allegedly declined a marriage proposal from Pierce.
Files also uncovered a meeting at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse between Tether co-founder Brock Pierce and former Harvard President Larry Summers.
The two apparently utilized the disgraced financier’s dwelling to chat about Bitcoin, with Summers noting that he saw “opportunities,” but was concerned about the potential damage to his reputation that Bitcoin losses could create.
Blockstream investment
Epstein was an investor in Bitcoin infrastructure firm Blockstream, according to newly revealed emails and a confirmation from early Bitcoin developer and Blockstream co-founder Adam Back.
“Blockstream met with Jeffrey Epstein, who was described at the time as a limited partner in [Joi] Ito’s fund,” wrote Back. “That fund later invested a minority stake in Blockstream.”
The longtime Bitcoiner and his Blockstream co-founder Austin Hill were also both invited to Epstein’s island in 2014, according to newly revealed files from the DOJ. But whether or not the trip ever happened is unclear from the emails, and Back did not respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.
In his confirmation of Epstein’s investment, the Blockstream co-founder added that the firm “has no direct nor indirect financial connection with Jeffrey Epstein, or his estate” at present time.
A Bitcoin core developer and former contributor to Blockstream urged Back to resign this week after the new files were released.
Epstein and Thiel talk Bitcoin narrative
A 2014 email from Jeffrey Epstein to famed tech investor Peter Thiel questioned Bitcoin’s narrative.
“There is little agreement on what Bitcoin is,” wrote Epstein. “Store of or intrinsic value, (if any) currency, property, architecture, payment system. Etc.”
The reply followed a question from Thiel about an increasing “anti-BTC pressure” that might be growing within the U.S. government.
At the time, Bitcoin was trading around $691 per coin. It’s since jumped dramatically, recently trading around $70,000 after peaking above $126,000 last October.
Michael Saylor slammed
Bitcoin bull and Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor was called a “creep” by Epstein’s publicist Peggy Siegal in an email to the convicted sex offender in 2010.
“He has no personality. Sort of like a zombie on a drug,” wrote Siegal of Saylor. “I walked him around and he was so weird that even I ran away from him.”
According to the email, Saylor provided $25,000 for a spring gala for the “opportunity to get his name on [the] invite and meet a hip group.”
The email was sent more than a decade before Saylor’s software firm would make its first BTC purchase, with the firm amassing nearly $50 billion worth of the asset and inspiring a wave of followers to adopt a crypto treasury model.
Questionable ethics
Despite his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute, a decade later, Epstein was concerned about the ethics of funding projects in the crypto space.
“I am more than happy to fund things but as I am high-profile, it can’t be questionable ethics,” Epstein wrote in an email to Bitcoin researcher Jeremy Rubin, who replied telling the financier that there’s a “grey area between pump and develop.”
“Their deal is to pump the currency,” said Epstein of investors in the space. “It is dangerous.”
A “better” Vitalik Buterin
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s name is found in the Epstein files, but not as a result of any direct connections or correspondence with the disgraced financier.
Instead, the latest batch of emails shows an email Epstein received from Masha Drokova that highlights that the Russian investor had found a “super smart and young blockchain enthusiast in Russia.”
“He can be better than Vitalik Buterin if he focuses on technology,” Drokova added.
Although she offered to connect Epstein to the Russian individual, it is not clear who the technologist was, or whether or not they were ultimately linked to Epstein.

South Korean exchange Bithumb mistakenly credited users with 2,000 BTC each instead of a tiny cash reward.
The error was corrected within five minutes, but not before users sold off some of the mistakenly awarded funds.
The sell-off, only on Bithumb’s internal ledger and not on-chain, still triggered a sharp Bitcoin price crash on the exchange.
A South Korean crypto exchange accidentally credited users with billions of dollars’ worth of Bitcoin this week, triggering a flash crash in the platform’s listed value of the token.
Instead of airdropping users 2,000 won (a sum worth $1.37 at writing), the exchange, Bithumb, reportedly sent 2,000 BTC apiece, users said. That massive sum was worth some $142 million at writing, with Bitcoin trading around $71,000 as of Friday when the issue was first disclosed.
According to local reports, the accidental transfers were made as part of a “Random Box” giveaway, where 96% of recipients were poised to receive the lowest-value prize (presumably, the 2,000 won).
]]>
Bithumb said on Saturday that 695 people were sent Bitcoin. While initial estimates from local media put the value at Bitcoin accidentally transferred to customers at over $95 billion, the company said Saturday that 620,000 BTC—about $43 billion worth at Saturday’s current price—was actually credited to users’ accounts.
The deposits were recorded only on Bithumb’s internal ledgers, though, and didn’t involve actual on-chain transfers of Bitcoin. The irregularity was detected and corrected within five minutes, the company said Friday in a blog post.
But that was plenty enough time for some amazed Bithumb users to attempt to sell off the funds and make millions off the company’s error. Korean financial authorities estimate that users managed to sell off over $2 billion worth of the phantom Bitcoin in that window, per local reports.
Such a rapid sell-off immediately plunged Bitcoin’s price on the exchange to $55,000—far below prices on other exchanges, despite the cryptocurrency’s recent downturn. The price of Bitcoin bottomed out around $60,000 on most exchanges Thursday before rebounding to a recent price of $71,047.
“The Bitcoin price temporarily fluctuated sharply as some accounts that received the Bitcoin sold it,” Bithumb said. “We want to make it clear that this incident is unrelated to any external hacking or security breach, and does not pose any issues with system security or customer asset management,” the company added.
Bithumb further insisted that the chain of events did not result in any customer’s loss of preexisting assets.
On Saturday, the exchange said that it quickly recovered 618,212 BTC of the credited funds, and that it has further clawed back 1,788 BTC from the sold assets (93% worth).
“We are also taking swift action to recover the remaining unrecovered assets,” the firm said. “The amount of BTC that was not recovered in this incorrect payment incident and already sold will be accurately adjusted using company assets.”
“Bithumb takes this incident very seriously and will do its utmost to prevent recurrence by redesigning the entire asset payment process and enhancing the internal control system,” it added. “We will do our best to ensure that our users can trust Bithumb’s services with peace of mind.”
Editor’s note: This story was first published on February 6, 2025 and updated on February 7 with new information disclosed by Bithumb.

NEW YORK, Feb. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New York CEO Dan Herbatschek of Ramsey Theory Capital today announced expanded AI governance capabilities designed to help enterprises respond to a rapidly evolving wave of U.S. state-level artificial intelligence safety and accountability laws, including New York’s newly enacted Responsible AI Safety and Evaluation (RAISE) Act. New York now aligns with California on Frontier AI Laws with the RAISE Act.
The RAISE Act represents one of the most comprehensive state frameworks to date, requiring organizations developing or deploying advanced AI systems to demonstrate transparency, risk awareness, and accountability throughout the AI lifecycle. With additional states advancing similar legislation, enterprises are now facing a fragmented and fast-moving regulatory environment that demands more than traditional, document-only compliance approaches.
Ramsey Theory Capital’s enhanced governance solutions address this challenge by embedding compliance, risk analytics, and documentation directly into how AI systems are designed, deployed, and operated—enabling organizations to meet new legal obligations without slowing innovation.
“State-level AI regulation is moving faster than most enterprises anticipated, and the compliance burden is no longer theoretical—it’s operational,” said Dan Herbatschek, CEO at Ramsey Theory Capital. “The RAISE Act signals a broader shift toward enforceable AI accountability. Enterprises need governance intelligence that operates in real time, not static reports created after the fact.”
From Policy to Practice: Operationalizing AI Compliance
Unlike traditional governance models that rely on manual documentation and periodic reviews, Ramsey Theory Capital enables organizations to operationalize AI compliance across the full lifecycle of their AI systems—from development and testing to deployment and ongoing monitoring.
Key capabilities include:
AI lifecycle visibility across models, data pipelines, and vendorsRisk classification and analytics aligned to emerging AI safety lawsAutomated documentation to support audits, disclosures, and regulatory inquiriesOngoing monitoring for performance drift, misuse, and unintended outcomes
This approach allows enterprises to demonstrate continuous oversight and accountability—a core requirement of laws like the RAISE Act—while maintaining flexibility as regulations evolve.
Built for Regulated, High-Impact Environments
Ramsey Theory Capital’s governance solutions are purpose-built for organizations operating in regulated and high-impact industries such as healthcare, logistics, automotive, and field services, where AI systems increasingly influence safety, access, and critical business decisions.
As AI safety laws continue to emerge at the state level, Ramsey Theory Group positions itself as a strategic partner for enterprises seeking to balance regulatory compliance, innovation velocity, and long-term trust in AI-driven operations.
“The era of ‘build now, govern later’ is over,” added Herbatschek. “Enterprises that succeed with AI in the next decade will be the ones that treat governance as a core operating capability—not a regulatory checkbox.”
About Ramsey Theory CapitalFounded by CEO Dan Herbatschek, New York-based Ramsey Theory Capital, operating as Ramsey Theory Group, is a diversified technology company focused on building and scaling AI-driven platforms that power mission-critical enterprise operations. It has additional offices in Los Angeles and New Jersey. The firm delivers advanced artificial intelligence, data engineering, automation, and digital transformation solutions across healthcare, field service, logistics, automotive, and digital commerce markets.
Its portfolio includes Erdos Technologies, Erdos Digital, Erdos Tracks, Erdos Logistics, Erdos Medical, and Eunifi—each designed to help organizations move beyond experimentation to deploy AI at scale with measurable operational, financial, and customer-experience impact.

India Gaming Market Poised for Explosive Growth, Expected to Reach USD 8.92 Billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 28.5%
The India Gaming Market is undergoing a transformational phase, emerging as one of the fastest-growing digital entertainment industries globally. Driven by rapid smartphone adoption, affordable internet connectivity, a young and tech-savvy population, and evolving digital payment ecosystems, the Indian gaming industry is witnessing unprecedented expansion. According to recent market research, the India Gaming Market was valued at USD 1.54 Billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.5% from 2024 to 2030, reaching nearly USD 8.92 Billion by 2030.
This rapid growth positions India as a key global gaming hub, not only as a consumer market but also as a significant contributor to game development, esports, and digital innovation.
♦Request a Free Sample Copy or View Report Summary:https://www.maximizemarketresearch.com/request-sample/44686/
India Gaming Market OverviewIndia’s gaming ecosystem has evolved from a niche entertainment segment into a mainstream digital industry with far-reaching economic, social, and technological implications. The widespread penetration of smartphones-now exceeding 600 million users-combined with some of the world’s lowest mobile data costs, has democratized access to gaming across urban and rural regions alike. This accessibility has transformed gaming into a mass-market activity, attracting users across age groups, income levels, and geographies.
The Indian gaming market contributes significantly to technological advancement, digital literacy, innovation, and entrepreneurship. It serves as a testing ground for new monetization models, real-time multiplayer technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). Beyond entertainment, gaming is increasingly used as a platform for brand engagement, advertising, tourism promotion, and community building, thereby contributing to broader economic growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a major inflection point for the industry. While initial disruptions included hardware shortages, supply chain interruptions, cancellation of physical gaming events, and temporary revenue losses, the prolonged lockdowns resulted in a surge in online engagement. Increased screen time, remote work, and digital socialization accelerated the adoption of mobile games, esports viewership, and online multiplayer platforms. The pandemic also catalyzed the emergence of new genres, innovative business models, and a surge in first-time gamers, creating long-term growth momentum for the India gaming market.
India Gaming Market DynamicsRapid Increase in Players and Game StudiosOne of the most defining trends in the India gaming market is the exponential rise in the number of players and game development studios. India has evolved into a prominent gaming hub, with the number of studios growing from just 15 in 2009 to over 275 by 2022. This growth has been fueled by venture capital investments, government-backed startup initiatives, and increasing global interest in India’s gaming talent pool.
Mobile gaming remains the dominant segment, accounting for the majority of users and revenues due to its accessibility and low entry barriers. Simultaneously, esports has emerged as a powerful growth engine, with rising tournament prize pools, professional teams, sponsorships, and a rapidly expanding audience base. This ecosystem generates employment, fosters digital skill development, and encourages innovation across animation, game design, sound engineering, and data analytics.
Despite strong growth, challenges such as limited rural infrastructure, intellectual property (IP) development, and sustainable monetization strategies remain. Addressing these challenges is essential for maintaining India’s competitive edge in the global gaming landscape.
The Metaverse: A Game-Changer for India’s Gaming IndustryThe advent of the metaverse is expected to fundamentally reshape the India gaming market. By integrating virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), blockchain, and cloud computing, the metaverse promises highly immersive, interactive, and persistent digital environments. Indian gamers are increasingly drawn to personalized avatars, virtual worlds, and social gaming experiences that extend beyond traditional gameplay.
New revenue models such as play-to-earn (P2E), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), in-game digital assets, and subscription-based access are gaining traction. Cloud gaming further enhances accessibility by reducing hardware dependency-an important factor in a mobile-first market like India. Vernacular content and regional language support are also improving inclusivity and expanding market reach.
While infrastructure gaps, regulatory clarity, and data privacy concerns pose challenges, the metaverse presents immense opportunities for Indian developers to collaborate globally, create original IPs, and pioneer new gaming genres.
RMG has driven substantial investments, fintech innovation, and user engagement. However, it also raises concerns related to addiction, cybersecurity, ethical gameplay, and regulatory ambiguity. A balanced approach emphasizing responsible gaming practices, clear regulations, and consumer awareness is essential to ensure long-term sustainability.
Smartphone Penetration and Affordable Internet as Growth CatalystsThe convergence of affordable smartphones and low-cost internet has propelled India into a global gaming powerhouse. Entry barriers have been significantly reduced, allowing users from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to participate. This has fueled the dominance of free-to-play and casual gaming models, while esports titles such as PUBG Mobile and Free Fire have gained massive popularity.
The economic impact is substantial, with gaming contributing to job creation, startup growth, digital payments adoption, and increased foreign investment. However, sustaining growth will require innovation in monetization, premium content development, and infrastructure expansion.
India Gaming Market Segment AnalysisBy category, the Action games segment dominated the market with a 25% share in 2023 and is expected to maintain its leadership through the forecast period. Popular titles such as PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, Free Fire, and Apex Legends Mobile drive engagement through fast-paced gameplay, multiplayer features, and in-app monetization.
By game type, Casual Games held the largest revenue share in 2022, while Real-Money Games are projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6%. The total gaming user base is expected to expand from 433 million to 657 million by 2030, driven by mobile accessibility and diversified content offerings.
Regional InsightsRegionally, the India gaming market is segmented into North, South, East, and West India. West India, particularly Mumbai, dominates the market due to high smartphone penetration, strong financial infrastructure, and a large urban population. States such as Maharashtra and Gujarat further support growth through thriving startup ecosystems and increasing disposable incomes.
Future OutlookThe future of the India Gaming Market is exceptionally promising. With continued digitalization, supportive policies, evolving technologies, and a growing user base, India is set to become a global leader in gaming and esports. By 2030, the industry is expected to play a critical role in India’s digital economy, fostering innovation, employment, and global competitiveness.

Pop music icon Justin Bieber paid $1.3 million worth of ETH for a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT in 2022.
The NFT now is worth less than 6 ETH, or around $12,000, as NFTs and Ethereum have fallen in value.
Even common Bored Apes at were trading for as much as $429,000 in 2022 before collapsing.
Pop music icon Justin Bieber became one of the most famous members of the Bored Ape Yacht Club when he spent 500 ETH—or around $1.3 million—in January 2022 for Ethereum-based NFT, Bored Ape #3001.
Bieber’s ape, among the most common in the collection in terms of its visual attributes, is now valued at around $12,000 just four years later as the shine from NFTs and the Yacht Club has largely faded.
The value of any artwork can be influenced by a variety of factors, including personal taste, provenance, and even previous ownership; Bieber’s history with the NFT could potentially help it command a higher price if he were to put it on the market. But comparable assets in the collection with similar attributes have seen a substantial value drop.
]]>
The trade, which would amount to a 99% loss if the singer were to part ways with his NFT at the current floor price, or the price of the cheapest NFT listed on the marketplace, seems bad now.
But even at the time of purchase, the NFT community was chiding the star for his decision to purchase a “floor” Ape, or one without any rare features or attributes, for such a sum. Typically, only the rarest NFTs from a collection have sold for a major premium to the floor price.
“Who the fuck is advising Justin Bieber’s NFT purchases and how can I get in touch to sell them floors NFTs for 500 ETH,” Farokh Sarmad, now president of Dastan—the parent company of an editorially independent Decrypt—posted following the buy.
Next time you think you’re down bad, just remember that .@justinbieber just bought a floor ape for 500 ETH.
— gmoney.eth (@gmoneyNFT) January 29, 2022
Even still, the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s floor price did rise substantially in the months following Bieber’s purchase, eventually reaching as high as $429,000 in April 2022. And the singer’s purchase was hardly the most jaw-dropping buy of the NFT frenzy, which also saw artist Beeple sell a digital art NFT for $69.3 million the year prior.
Since that time though Apes have been mired in a long drawn out NFT winter which has pulled down the floor prices of rival collections like CryptoPunks and Pudgy Penguins as well.
Punks also once traded above $400,000, while Pudgy Penguins nearly eclipsed $100,000 according to data from NFT Price Floor. The projects now trade at starting prices of about $60,000 and $8,850 worth of ETH, respectively.
Users on Myriad—a prediction market operated by Dastan—don’t believe that winter is going to thaw anytime soon, either. A market that collectively tracks the potential comeback of Apes, Punks, and Penguins gives the trio just 16% odds of reaching floor prices of 10 ETH, or 50 ETH in the case of Punks, by July.
Nevertheless, Yuga Labs, the parent company of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, continues to work on projects surrounding the collection. In October, Yuga announced that it would create a real-life Bored Ape clubhouse in Miami, Florida for its NFT holders to congregate.
Its other focus remains Otherside, a massive multiplayer metaverse game featuring avatars from the Bored Ape Yacht Club and other NFT projects.
