OpenSea Reveals ‘Flagship’ NFT Treasury Stockpile as SEA Token Drop Nears

OpenSea Reveals ‘Flagship’ NFT Treasury Stockpile as SEA Token Drop Nears

The post OpenSea Reveals ‘Flagship’ NFT Treasury Stockpile as SEA Token Drop Nears appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief OpenSea is creating an NFT reserve, starting with a CryptoPunk on Ethereum. The firm is preparing for the final phase of pre-token rewards, starting with a prize vault filled with $1 million in ARB and OP tokens. The OpenSea Foundation is expected to announce SEA tokenomics in early October. Prominent NFT marketplace OpenSea said Monday that it has committed more than $1 million to acquiring culturally relevant NFTs as it charges towards the launch of its native ecosystem token, SEA. The marketplace’s reserve, called the Flagship Collection, will begin with CryptoPunk #5273, which was last purchased for $282,000 on August 25 before being transferred to a new address on Monday. After acquiring “essential pieces,” the firm aims to acquire and elevate pieces from emerging artists.  “We’ve always said NFTs are culture. The Flagship Collection is about picking the pieces we believe will stand the test of time,” OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer told Decrypt. Today we’re introducing: – OS Mobile: a beautiful trading experience powered by AI– Flagship Collection: honoring web3’s cultural heritage– Final Rewards Phase: 50% of platform fees funding millions in token & NFT prizes– $SEA Update: details in early October Learn more ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/EfsjucUeSR — OpenSea (@opensea) September 8, 2025 The firm will choose pieces for the collection using a committee of OpenSea employees and a group of external advisors with strict internal procedures in place to prevent the leak of information prior to acquisitions.  In 2023, a former OpenSea employee was convicted in the first-ever NFT insider trading case, as the executive had purchased and profited from assets that were to be featured on the popular marketplace. The conviction was ultimately overturned this July.  “There are a variety of elements that factor into our buying criteria, ranging from cultural significance, impact on Web3 as a…

Leading Art Auction Is Quiting The NFT Market

Leading Art Auction Is Quiting The NFT Market

The post Leading Art Auction Is Quiting The NFT Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Christie’s the world’s largest art auction house, its shuttering its digital art division, home to many NFTs. The institution hosted a $69 million NFT auction in 2021, helping kickstart the sector’s fame. Theoretically, the firm may continue selling NFTs in the “21st Century Art” category, but this seems unlikely. The Art World Ditches NFTs The NFT sector took the world by storm in 2022, but the broader Web3 sector has largely moved on. Although there was a brief revival earlier this year, and the space is still exploring use cases, this is unrelated to their purported use as an art form. Christie’s, the world’s largest art auction house, is shuttering all its NFT services: Sponsored Sponsored “Christie’s has made a strategic decision to reformat digital art sales. The company will continue to sell digital art within the larger 20th and 21st Century Art category,” the institution claimed in a statement. This may seem like a minor development, but the art auction house is very key to NFT history. In 2021, Christie’s made history by selling an NFT collection for $69 million. This largely helped trigger the technology’s rise to fame, powering the gains of 2022. Christie’s even launched an on-chain auction platform as a show of confidence. It may be difficult to see why that confidence is gone today. Objectively, NFTs aren’t performing much worse than they have been in 2023 or 2024. For one, the top NFT collections’ trading volume increased by nearly 90% in the last 24 hours. The sector’s most recent peak is smaller than in 2024, but it’s not a significant drop. NFT Market Caps.

Analyst Cites Elliott Wave Pattern as XRP Enters Explosive Phase

Analyst Cites Elliott Wave Pattern as XRP Enters Explosive Phase

The post Analyst Cites Elliott Wave Pattern as XRP Enters Explosive Phase appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Technical analysis identifies XRP completing corrective phase in Elliott Wave cycle Rail acquisition and RLUSD launch position Ripple for increased transaction volume Multiple ETF filings await October approval decision with institutional backing Analyst Davie Satoshi has identified what he describes as a textbook Elliott Wave formation on XRP’s monthly logarithmic chart, suggesting the cryptocurrency has entered the most potentially explosive phase of its current cycle. The wave count analysis indicates XRP has finished its corrective sequence and is now beginning wave 3 of a major five-wave pattern. Rapid Fire Charts: $XRP I may not have the biggest $XRP following yet, but this setup is too clean to ignore. 📊 The monthly log chart is showing textbook Elliott Wave structure. If the count holds, we’re entering wave iii of major wave 5, historically, the most explosive move.… pic.twitter.com/vrgEiPHXuY — davie satoshi (@NFTdavie) September 7, 2025 Elliott Wave theory traditionally associates the third wave with the strongest price movements in any complete cycle. Satoshi’s analysis suggests that XRP’s recent price consolidation has established the foundation for this anticipated advance, with multiple fundamental catalysts aligning to support the technical pattern. Strategic Acquisitions Drive Utility Expansion Ripple’s acquisition of Rail Financial provides direct access to stablecoin transaction flows that currently represent approximately 10% of total market volume. Satoshi highlighted that routing these transactions through the XRP Ledger could increase both network utility and trading volume while advancing Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity scaling strategy. The RLUSD stablecoin launch complements this acquisition by reducing Ripple’s dependence on traditional banking partnerships for cross-border payment processing. This integration allows Ripple to expand its payment network reach while maintaining control over critical infrastructure components. November’s global implementation of the ISO 20022 payment messaging standard creates another adoption catalyst. RippleNet’s existing compliance with this protocol positions XRP as a bridge asset…

Morning Minute: 📈 Robinhood Makes the S&P 500 While MicroStrategy Gets Skipped

Morning Minute: 📈 Robinhood Makes the S&P 500 While MicroStrategy Gets Skipped

The post Morning Minute: 📈 Robinhood Makes the S&P 500 While MicroStrategy Gets Skipped appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Morning Minute is a daily newsletter written by Tyler Warner. The analysis and opinions expressed are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Decrypt. Subscribe to the Morning Minute on Substack. GM! Today’s top news: Crypto majors mostly green, SOL leads; BTC at $112,000 Forward Industries announces $1.65B SOL DAT led by Galaxy, Multicoin & Jump BMNR discloses 2.069M in ETH, first $20M ‘Moonshot’ investment in WLD DAT HOOD stock soars 9% pre-market after S&P 500 inclusion; MSTR left out Hyperliquid soars to ATH on back of USDH stablecoin announcement 📈 Robinhood Makes the S&P 500, MicroStrategy Gets Skipped Friday was a big day for those companies entering the S&P 500. While a major crypto favorite was once again left out. 📌 What Happened S&P Dow Jones Indices said Robinhood (HOOD) will join the S&P 500 at the upcoming quarterly rebalance, replacing a departing constituent. HOOD shares immediately popped 7% on the news. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy (MSTR), despite checking all the requirement boxes, was not selected this cycle. Why HOOD fits: Size, liquidity, and a more diversified fintech model (brokerage, options, cash, card, crypto) make it a comfortable add for an operating-company index Why MSTR didn’t: Meeting basic requirements isn’t a guarantee; the committee uses discretion. MSTR still screens like a Bitcoin proxy more than a diversified operator and clearly has more to prove its merits as an actual company. MSTR’s recent price action certainly isn’t helping its case, down 16% this month while Bitcoin is only down 3%. 🗣️ What They’re Saying It’s an exciting milestone to have Robinhood join the storied S&P 500 Index. I’ll share what I told the team today — we don’t stop to celebrate, our single focus remains building exceptional products for our customers. – Vlad Tenev, Robinhood CEO “Do you know which two companies didn’t make it into the S&P 500 last…

Years ago, serious artists heralded them as an important future for digital art, and famous creators have launched their own collections on many occasions. In 2025, though, this use case has apparently fallen out of favor. Simply put, the art world has moved on. Decisions like this are key “intangibles” in the market, and investors shouldn’t take them lightly. Would NFTs have ever taken off if major institutions like Christie’s didn’t think they were legitimate art? If the exact same organizations have lost their faith in NFTs, who will keep it alive? This development may serve as a canary in the coal mine. The NFT sector isn’t dead yet, but its oldest friends are abandoning it. Although it may linger on for quite some time, a full return to the limelight seems unlikely.
