The NFT market is becoming increasingly complicated, necessitating the use of analytic tools to thrive as an investor.
Do the Cool Cats still have Blue Chip status? The collection fell on hard times lately, but so has any other NFT project out there. We’re in a bear market, after all. A Hollywood agency manages the Cool Cats project, they had the coolest exhibit in NFT NYC, and collaborated with TIME magazine in a weird NFT drop. Still, the collection’s floor price is down to levels not seen since the project’s conception. Related Reading: Blue Chip NFTs 101 – What’s The Secret Behind CloneX? Built For The Metaverse The Cool Cats started spreading good vibes in July 2021. It’s a PFP collection consisting of 9.999 unique cats assembled from various traits that formed 300K possibilities total. The ecosystem expanded in two major ways lately. They launched their secondary collection, the Cool Pets, and their own token, $MILK. The new coin is the blood of the gamified experience that the collection’s creators have been releasing. pic.twitter.com/GcpXtb5Vt8 — Mike Tyson (@MikeTyson) July 9, 2021 Speaking about those, the core team are: the smart contract programmer Tom Williamson, web developer Rob Mehew, creative director Evan Luza, and illustrator Colin Egan AKA The Cartoonist. The unofficial fifth member of the band is Mike Tyson. The eternal heavyweight champion changed his Twitter profile picture to a Cool Cats and that propelled the collection when it needed it the most. The Relationship Between Cool Cats And CAA The Cool Cats went Hollywood on March 2021. In a move unprecedented at the time, the creators signed with leading talent agency CAA. In a press release from the time, the partners explained the deal in detail: “Leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) has signed Cool Cats, producers of the widely known Cool Cats and Cool Pets NFT collections. In collaboration with the gamified NFT company, the agency will identify and create opportunities for Cool Cats characters across an array of areas, including licensing and merchandising, animated content, brand partnerships, live events, publishing, and more.” So, there’s serious money and interests behind the cats. Why are they fading away into the background, then? Is it just an effect of the bear market? BTC price chart on Bitbay | Source: BTC/USD on TradingView.com Cool Cats ’ got utility First of all, Cool Cats holders get their NFT’s property rights. That means, they can produce commercial projects with their NFT’s images. Cool Cat owners also get access to the project’s Discord server, and priority for all of the exclusive Cool Cats events and mints. Holders can stack their NFTs and get yield in $MILK. Another benefit is access to Cooltopia, a project they define as “a gamified ecosystem built on interactivity and utility, community rewards and growth, collaboration with brands, and much more.” Another self-definition has Cooltopia as a “place where having a Cool Cats NFT grants you evolving access to games, tokens, community events, collaborations, and more.” Plus, there’s the Cool Pets side project. A reward to NFT holders and a way for newcomers to enter the ecosystem at a lower price point. The Cool Pets collection has 19,999 units. Every holder got a pet for free. The general public bought the other half. The Cool Pets first come as an egg image, that hatches and reveals the final NFT. The pets are divided into four elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Grass. The $MILK token The $MILK is an ERC20 token on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains. It’s the oil that greases Cooltopia’s gamified economy. According to the documentation: “$MILK is the key to all sorts of functionality and fun in the Cool Cats ecosystem, from buying Battle or Housing chests to going on quests.” “$MILK is also how you’ll enhance and evolve your Cool Pets.” This one describes the NFTs staking-like mechanism: “Your Cool Cat is earning $MILK just by being cool (the $MILK claiming clock begins as soon as the contract is deployed), and that $MILK will accumulate over time.” Controversy And Suspicion There’s something strange going on with this project. Recently, the newly-appointed CEO stepped down after just three months. There was never a credible explanation. The collection just tweeted, “Chris Hassett has stepped down as CEO. We thank him and wish him the best moving forward.” Is there something rotten in the Cool Cats headquarters? Related Reading: Blue Chip NFTs 101: The World Of Women Collection, Including And Conquering And then there’s the price. At its height, in October 2021, the Cool Cats floor price was around 26 ETH. Almost a year later, the floor Cool Cats are trading for 2.9 ETH. That’s not all, the Cool Pets’ floor price is 0.18 ETH. Are those Blue Chip numbers? Even though we’re basically in the middle of a crypto winter, the collection seems to be falling off a cliff… Will the Cool Cats land on their feet?

MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) has added to its massive holdings with yet another haul, according to financial documents filed with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 20 September 2022.
As far as cryptocurrency news go, this sums up a big thumbs up from one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin (BTC),
MicroStrategy buys Bitcoin worth $6 millionAs per the filing and as confirmed by MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, the publicly-traded business intelligence company has acquired an additional 301 BTC to bring its total holdings to approximately 130,000 bitcoins.
MicroStrategy has purchased an additional 301 bitcoins for ~$6.0 million at an average price of ~$19,851 per #bitcoin. As of 9/19/22 @MicroStrategy holds ~130,000 bitcoins acquired for ~$3.98 billion at an average price of ~$30,639 per bitcoin.https://t.co/5kYW98ij4I
— Michael Saylor?? (@saylor) September 20, 2022The company announced that the new purchases occurred between 2 August 2022 and 19 September 2022. The firm forked about $6 million for the 301 bitcoins, accounting for an average price of roughly $19,851 per bitcoin. The purchase was paid for in cash, according to the SEC filing.
As of 19 September, MicroStrategy had purchased bitcoins at an aggregate price of $3.98 billion, bringing the company’s average purchase price to around $30,639. These costs are inclusive of fees and other expenses.
Michael Saylor is one of Bitcoin’s most prominent supporters and has maintained his bullish stance for the asset class since the firm first purchased BTC in 2020. Recently, as reported by Invezz, he stepped down from the company’s CEO post in what he said was a move that would allow him to better focus on its Bitcoin strategy.
This weekend, as Bitcoin struggled with bearish pressure, he took to Twitter to highlight how the crypto asset has performed since 2020 compared to other asset classes. In his tweet, he shows that BTC has outperformed most other assets, including the S&P 500, gold and bonds.
Since @MicroStrategy adopted the #Bitcoin Standard:
MSTR +67%, BTC +65%, GOOG +39%, AAPL +34%, ORCL +25%, MSFT +18%, S&P 500 +15%, IBM +5%, NASDAQ +4%, GOLD -17%, BOND -18%, AMZN -22%, CRM -23%, SILVER -32%, META -44%, SAP -47%, NFLX -50%

Celsius (CEL/USD) price fell by as much as 17% on Monday amid an overall struggle across crypto assets.
The CEL token, which had pumped by more than 13% late Sunday amid a short squeeze, fell from highs of $1.68 to place at $1.43 at the time of writing.
The 82nd ranked crypto by market cap was also down significantly against the Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) pairs. As of 12:50 pm ET, the CEL/BTC pair was down 18% while CEL/ETH was nearly -14% off in the past 24 hours.
Celsius price falls sharplyCrypto news this week is largely going to be dominated by the Ethereum Merge, which is just two days away. But Monday finds cryptocurrencies struggling to hold onto weekend gains, with a lull for most of the tokens resulting in bulls giving up momentum.
For the CEL token, the dip to $1.43 looks to open it to further weakness as the downturn since a high of $3.86 on 14 August threatens a revisit of a local bottom formed around $0.86 on 28 August 27.
As can be seen on the CEL chart below, the token has made a series of higher lows and lower highs since the start of September.
CEL/USD price on the daily chart on FTX. Source: TradingViewActually, the token lacks any sustained upside since last month’s pump and faces main resistance around the 50-day moving average.
However, while the outlook is likely to favour bears, another short squeeze could ensue as speculative momentum builds, with buy pressure pushing the price higher again.
However, (and its generally), Celsius lacks any real fundamental strength for a sustained move upward, especially with uncertainty still lingering over the company’s future since the bankruptcy debacle earlier in the crypto winter.

Dynamic NFTs (dNFTs) extend the possibilities beyond the limitations of the original static NFTs while also gaining access to some of its untapped potential.
Bitcoin rose more than 10% on Friday afternoon as crypto rallied amid widespread gains for stocks. The flagship cryptocurrency hit an intraday high of $21,383 on major crypto exchanges according to CoinGecko data, up from its 24-hour low around $19,210.
Why Bitcoin price is upIn a CNBC report highlighting the gains, CNBC Business News’ Kate Rooney said the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap has broken higher following a rebound from 10-month lows hit earlier in the week.
Bitcoin’s rally comes as the US dollar eased up following an extended strengthening against a basket of major global currencies. But as the dollar index fell on Friday, Bitcoin (BTC/USD) took cue to add to Thursday’s upside from below $20,000.
On Bitcoin hitting forward gear as the dollar struggled, the CNBC anchor observed:
“It’s been particularly sensitive to the rising dollar in recent months. You can see that inverse correlation on the chart picking up in May or so,” she noted. The chart she was referring to shows bitcoin price falling below $30k and continuing lower even as the US dollar rose amid the crypto market crash.
Another factor at play as BTC picks some bear market rally has been the strong uptake in short liquidations. Just in the past 24 hours or so, nearly $343 million crypto shorts were liquidated – the largest short liquidations for over a month according to data from Coinglass.
As reported, Bitcoin’s price jump above $21k also comes as today’s biggest crypto news saw Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto exchange FTX reveal it had acquired a 30% stake in SkyBridge Capital. Anthony Scaramucci’s SkyBridge is to add $40 million worth of cryptocurrencies to its balance sheet.

Solana (SOL/USD) is a blockchain network that features its own native cryptocurrency known as the SOL token.
Throughout its ecosystem, there are a plethora of different decentralized applications (dApps) as well as smart contracts alongside non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
One of the key points of appeal for this cryptocurrency was its support for high throughput (transactions per second), where Solana can theoretically process 710,000 TPS.
Solana 13,000 TPS testnet checkpoint as a catalyst for growthThe Layer–1 blockchain project Solana can, at a later point in time, process around 13,000 transactions per second (TPS) throughout its future releases.
According to an image that was posted on Twitter by the Solana Labs co-founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, one of the more recent Solana releases on the testnet reached that specific milestone in terms of TPS.
stress tests on 1.11 pic.twitter.com/kWxiPvMqpb
— toly ???? (@aeyakovenko) August 29, 2022A stress test is essentially a procedure that determines the extent to which a computer program or network can remain effective throughout its peak usage.
In the case of Solana, this involved simulating transactions between addresses as a means of determining the number of transactions that the network can process without going offline.
The Solana Testnet in question was released in version 1.11, which is still under development.
As a point of reference, the Solana network, based on data from the Solana Explorer, can, on average, process around 3,000 to 4,000 TPS.
By reaching 13,000 TPS, we can expect the Solana network to see a lot more appeal from developers, increasing the utility and value of the SOL cryptocurrency.
Should you buy Solana (SOL)?On August 29, 2022, Solana (SOL) had a value of $30.51.
The all-time high point of value for the Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency was reached on November 6, 2021, at a value of $259.96.
When we go over the cryptocurrency’s performance throughout the previous month, Solana (SOL) had its lowest point of value on July 1 at $32.06.
Its highest point of value was on July 19 at $46.77. Here we can see that the cryptocurrency increased in value by $14.71 or by 46%.
With this in mind, investors might want to buy SOL as it can climb to $50 by the end of September 2022.

The CyberKongz don’t get the mainstream media headlines, but they’re one of the most solid NFT projects out there. If not the most. They have an active and heavily involved community behind them, and they keep working and innovating while the others sleep. In the NFT world, everyone respects the CyberKongz. Outside, in the real world, nobody has heard of them. And that might be the winning combination. On their website, they describe themselves as “CyberKongz are unique and randomly generated 2D/3D NFT Social Avatars for your online experiences.” On March 3rd, 2021, the CyberKongz hit Ethereum and Opensea without much fanfare. The brainchild of artist Myoo, the project originally consisted of 1000 randomly generated NFTs. Only 989 were available to the public. One became the collection’s official mascot and the 10 deemed “Legendary CyberKongz” were auctioned off. Related Reading: Blue Chip NFTs 101 – Let’s Travel To Space With The Doodles Collection Since the Genesis drop consisted of 34×34 pixel images, they quickly became the profile picture of choice for its not-so-many holders. At that time, PFP collections weren’t a thing. Since the CyberKongz and others revolutionized the space, they are THE thing. On April 17th, the collection migrated to a new smart contract that contained a few surprises. The team created a utility token, $BANANA, and the original CyberKongz Genesis began yielding 10 tokens a day. At one point in time, this was a modest salary, but the $BANANA token price took a heavy hit since the bear market arrived. In any case, the $BANANA token has actual use cases throughout the CyberKongz ecosystem. For example, to create a Baby Kong costs 600 $BANANA. Types Of CyberKongz So far, there are three types of CyberKongz. We already described the Genesis collection. Each of these 1000 NFTs will yield 10 $BANANA every day for the next 10 years. By burning $BANANA, holders can alter their NFTs and give them a name or include a biography. This is the type of innovation we were talking about in the intro. Surely, $BANANA is a nice way to reward the first investors in the project, but it’s not the only one. Two Genesis CyberKongz can breed. For the modest price of 600 $BANANA they can create one of the 4000 randomly generated Baby Kongz. A completely new and different NFT. It’s worth noting that the Baby Kongz don’t inherit the rarity traits of the Genesis CyberKongz, so everyone has the same chance of receiving a rare NFT after breeding. The CyberKongz VX are 3D Voxel monkeys that are ready for the metaverse. This time there are many more, CyberKongz VX consists of 15000 “voxel-based avatars built to be used in online metaverse environments such as The Sandbox.” Holders can download their 3D assets in the .OBJ, advanced .FBX, .VOX, and .GLTF file formats. They are licensed to use them in merch and create their own derivative artworks with them. ETH price chart for 08/23/2022 on Bitfinex | Source: ETH/USD on TradingView.com Quick Cool Facts About The Kongz The 10 “Legendary CyberKongz” auction was a roaring success. The NFTs went for an aggregated amount of over 200 ETH. The project’s charity contributions are unmatched. After the original mint, 60% of the proceeds went to the Cool Earth and Orangutan Outreach organizations. After the CyberKongz VX mint, 10% went to Virunga National Park and COTAP.org. CyberKongz VX is “the first-ever randomly generated NFT collection created using VoxEdit,” the 3D Voxel creation tool by The Sandbox. Inside The Sandbox, the CyberKongz won the auction for “The Shrine Of Thuth” and renamed the building “The Shrine Of Kongz.” Then, they bought a 12×12 estate and announced they were building Neo Kongz City there. After that, they bought a 24×24 estate and announced the construction of Kongz Island. Besides that, the Kongz own propriety in Axie Infinity’s Land of ‘Lunacia’, several plots of Ember Sword land, a Penthouse in Worldwide Webb, and will build a realm in the Gridcraft Network. Related Reading: Blue Chip NFTs 101 – What’s The Secret Behind CloneX? Built For The Metaverse Conclusion Maintaining the initial supply of only 1000 CyberKongz Genesis was essential for this project to survive. They found a way to increase it without devaluating the original drop, created a utility token that’s actually used, and invested their funds in the collection’s future: the metaverse. All of this underpinned by the hottest Discord in the game, one where CyberKongz holders can get the most precise alpha available about the NFT scene as a whole. Or so we’ve heard.

SBTs are non-transferable, publicly-verifiable digital tokens that can act as a type of CV for web3 users.
KuCoin, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, has announced integration of DEX aggregator 1inch Network to allow for native swaps that will benefit the exchange’s users across the globe.
The 1inch partnership and enabling of native swaps will bring low price and fast transfers to decentralised finance (DeFi), benefitting users across all decentralised exchange platforms, KuCoin noted in a press release shared with Invezz.
To achieve these benefits, the wallet will tap into the DEX aggregator’s Pathfinder algorithm and API to enable cross-chain swaps and give customers faster, cost-effective transfers.
Jeff Haul, Head of KuCoin Wallet said in a statement:
We are always striving to make our product cater to the needs of all investors. Swap is a high-frequency feature of the wallet and 1inch is one of the most popular DEXs in the Web3 industry, so we work together through native integration to provide a smooth and cost-effective trading experience for our users.”
As noted in the press release, KuCoin’s status as a gateway to Web3 will also benefit from this partnership, with the platform opened up to further growth within the broader blockchain ecosystem. Particularly, the exchange expects the 1inch integration will help it expand its presence in the DeFi space, the target being to boost the growth and adoption of Web3 applications among users.

Cross-chain exchange Fixed Float has frozen 112 ether ($200,000) stolen in a front-end attack on the decentralized exchange Curve Finance.
Curve Finance’s front end was compromised on Tuesday through a Domain Name Service (DNS) attack. The attackers had redirected users asking them to approve a malicious contract.
The DNS attack resulted in a loss of stablecoins worth $612,000, which according to security firm CertiK were swapped to ether (ETH).
Transferring the swapped ETH to Fixed FloatAfter swapping the stablecoins to ether, the attackers then tried transferring the ETH tokens to the Fixed Float exchange where the funds were seized.
Fixed Float is a decentralized Lightning Network-based exchange that allows users to swap between ether and bitcoin and it is believed the attacker wanted to launder the ether for bitcoin.
After freezing the funds, Fixed Float commented on Twitter saying:
“Our security department has frozen part of the funds in the amount of 112 ETH.”
The Curve Finance hack was unique in that the attackers avoided funneling all the stolen funds through Tornado Cash, a popular mixer on Ethereum that hackers use to obfuscate transfers of stolen tokens. Only a small amount was sent to Tornado Cash.
In recent days, Tornado Cash has been in the limelight after it was sanctioned by the US treasury.
According to Ryan Wegner, a lead security engineer at Polygon, the attacker transferred 242 ETH to Fixed Float, about 26 ETH to Tornado Cash, and 23 ETH to SideShift, a none-KYC crypto exchange.

What timeline are we living in? Well, we ain't so sure anymore. The latest iteration of the widely popular Windows operating system - Windows 11 was launched recently on Oct 05. Whilst it boosts many powerful and effective features - chief amongst them being improvements to the user interface, security, multi tasking, accessibility, input and display improvements. It was also displayed on Dubai's premier tourist attraction - the tallest building in the world Burj Khalifa itself. But that's not the most interesting part - that would be the bundled NFTs!
https://twitter.com/Windows/status/1445181962419904531Windows 11 launch event came bearing gifts and participants (well you can still participate!) came with NFTs included, but these NFTs aren't exactly on blockchains that you know of. They were launched on a relatively unknown Eluv.io blockchain. Surprised? We are too! This is the first time that most of us must have heard of it. But it's there and all the bundled NFTs rest on that little known chain!
Microsoft Windows 11 Launch EventAccording to Eluvio, it's "The world’s first blockchain-backed 4K premium streaming and ticketing platform". It appears to be a Proof of Authority (POA) based blockchain, much like the Binance Smart Chain, which offers Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility and therefore support for ERC 751 / ERC 1155 NFT standards. It's designed for interoperability and it's possible to transfer the NFTs back to other blockchains from the native "Content Fabric".
https://twitter.com/EluvioLIVE/status/1445861226131591172Maybe, it's not exactly the thing that we were all hoping for. But it's a very important and significant development. It means that NFTs are fast becoming integral to the digital world and every other launch is now expected to come with them. We were able to locate around 8 NFTs that are bundled with Windows 11 launch and you might want to zoom in to see what they are about!
Windows 11 NFTs are actually discount / reward coupons from major OEMS and resellers such as Dell, Microsoft itself, AntOnline, Micro Center, Staples, Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Walmart and Target. They can be redeemed in favor of the rewards and benefits on Eluvio. It's not very clear if they can be moved back to any other blockchain in their current form, but all of them seem to have a 10,000 cap per NFT. There's a possibility that you might be able to trade them on OpenSea in the future. So hurry up and grab one!
