Top of the Mornin'
Hey, and welcome back to another issue of NFToday!
Quick shoutout before proceeding with today's newsletter.
Yesterday, I had a fantastic call with Mo from the Raw DAO, and we ended up partnering up! My newsletter now has a dedicated channel in their discord, woohoo!
For anyone looking for a fantastic community with a ton of like-minded web3 enthusiasts, I recommend checking them out. Physical to Digital is their game, and I couldn't be more stoked to collaborate with them!
Shoutout aside, let's get on with the news!
In today's newsletter:
Who's Christie?
ETH is on fireeee
Hyundai's newest NFT
Who's Christie...

Christie's
…and why is she launching a web3 investment fund?
I'm actually referring to Christie's, a world-renowned art auction house.
For those unfamiliar with the auction house, it was actually founded in 1766 by James Christie. Christie's has established itself as a notable proponent within art culture and is most known for auctioning numerous Van Goghs! Over time, the auction house continued to grow/scale, all while staying true to its roots.
Yesterday, Christie's announced a new fund geared towards web3 venture funding.
With the cultural art focus that Christie's always had, this venture was created to embody just that. The action house claimed their first order of business would be to explore three avenues, two of which are art-focused:
Web3 Innovation
Art Related Financial Products/Solutions
Seemless Consumption of Art Technology
Despite the announcement hitting the public today, Christie's has already set funding aside for LayerZero Labs, a cross-chain interoperability company.
It really boggles my mind how a company founded nearly 300 years ago would today be investing in web3 tech. What a time to be alive!
ETH is flying!

ETH had no problem touching a high of $1,624.70 yesterday.
In just shy of a week, ETH is up a whopping 50% from its previous $1,000 support bounce.
Alongside the bullish price action:
Bitcoin is consolidating above $22,000
Solana hit a yesterday high $46
Polkadot is consolidating above $7.5
Does this mark the end of the bear market? All that praying might've paid off!
Hyundai new NFT membership?
Alongside the release of Hyundai's new IONIQ 6 Electric Car, the company also unveiled an NFT membership that provides its owners with premium content!
At the time of writing this, utility includes:
Exclusive Fashion Items
A Digital Metaverse Experience
Free Personalized Phone Case
The collection is limited to 5,000 NFTs featuring traits such as:
Backgrounds
Vehicle colors
Objects
Good luck, Hyundai, and thanks for doing your part in aiding adoption!
