NFT Review #6 - The Stars Keep Adopting
news.nft.review

NFT Review is a weekly newsletter covering NFTs in the Web3 ecosystem on Polkadot’s side of the woods. The newsletter is put together by Bruno Škvorc and Gilbert Bassey.

For a more general overview of the Web3 ecosystem, consider subscribing to Dot Leap.

Looking for a primer on NFTs? This should be the last introduction you’ll ever need.


Dear NFT enthusiast,

It’s a new week and NFTs are still on the up!

In a week that Jay Z decides to join in on the NFT fun, Beeple takes his fun to new heights with a new NFT platform. Then there’s the iconic car from Back to The Future whose makers announced that they will be launching an NFT series based on the car.

It seems every time you look there’s a new person or business launching an NFT project. At this rate, the whole world is going to be into NFTs before the crypto market recovers the $800 billion it has lost since its recent slump.

Thank you for reading and have a great week.
