Gary Vee recently partnered with Zerocool, a Fanatics brand, to bring the VeeFriends NFT ecosystem physical collectible trading cards.

If anyone’s followed Gary Vee’s content in the past, you may know that he’s massively into pop culture, vintage memorabilia, and perhaps most significant, sports cards. He believed that it was only a matter of time before he’d get into the industry, and what better way to do than with his treasured NFT IP VeeFriends.

Zerocool is a relatively new brand that intends to create a trading card brand established around highly influential people and notable IPs. Aside from innovating the collectible card industry, Zerocool has adopted a unique selling style known as a blind dutch auction.

"Unlike a traditional auction where only the highest bidder wins, a blind Dutch auction works by matching the highest bids to the quantity of product available. For example, if we are selling 100 units and each user can only purchase one unit, then the top 100 bids will win, and the lowest bid within the top 100 bids will become the “clearing price” that all 100 bidders would then pay for each of the 100 units sold." - Zerocool.

The VeeFriends NFT trading cards are currently available to bidders until Today at 6 PM PST. You do not need to own a VeeFriend to bid.

For our millennial readers, there's a good chance you've used Limewire in the past.

Limewire was a prominent and widely used file-sharing software that emerged when web2 began picking up steam. While the software had numerous features and tools, its popularity skyrocketed when people figured out how to use the software to download music illegally. Repeated use of this tactic eventually led to the product's downfall, as Limewire was forced to shut down in 2010.

After sleeping dormant for twelve years, Limewire awoke to announce that they'd be reworking their business model in hopes of becoming the next big NFT marketplace. Ironically, Limewire will focus on music-based NFTs, allowing artists to release demos, collectibles, tickets, digital goods, and more.

Limewire also announced that a big focus of their shift would be to make the platform and NFT buying process more accessible to newcomers. The platform intends to allow its customers to mint NFTs with credit cards via Wyre. Furthermore, prices on their marketplace will be displayed in USD rather than ETH.

Talk about a comeback.

The recent rally up to $42,500 has completely dissipated as it seems to have fallen just as fast as it rallied.

On the way up: The price climb was likely to be a result of positive news stemming from Biden's crypto executive order stating that the government would welcome and study crypto in the coming future.

On the way down: The price of bitcoin fell back to its pre-rally level, following what every micro rally has done since the beginning of the year.

This rise and fall in price is by no means a bad thing. The executive order contained some great news for bitcoin and other cryptos, but the market is by no means suited for a rally at this point.

World of Women is a project making waves in the web3 ecosystem since its launch last December. On International Women's Day (March 8th), World of Women and The Sandbox announced an extensive collaboration to launch the WoW foundation, with the sole purpose "to bring more women and diversity of thought into the NFT and metaverse space." The Sandbox was generous enough to kick off the foundation's fund with a 25M dollar grant. Furthermore, the two web3 giants intend to create:

• Ten thousand unique 3D voxel asset avatars to be used in The Sandbox's alpha two launch.

• WoW metaverse museum set to showcase all that WoW intends to do with the new foundation

• WoW university that's set to be a free service providing value and education to anyone looking to learn about web3 assembled in The Sandbox.

• WoW academy that's set to act as a value-driven home for NFT/web3 artists that provides advice, funding, and mentoring. 

WoW and The Sandbox are two of the most prevalent giants in the web3 space. Utility and contributions like this are precisely why.
