At that time, it was clear that our investors and other stakeholders were keen on understanding how our creator-first company would capture value in the new digital frontiers of blockchain, crypto, and their derivative technologies (i.e. NFTs, metaverse lands).

Why Bitcoin Has Suddenly Started Going Back Up
Bitcoin has made a striking comeback over the past several days, climbing back toward — and briefly above — the $80,000 level after a period of weakness. The move has caught the attention of both crypto investors and traditional markets, but it isn't being driven by one single event.

Trump’s Business & Crypto Controversy
I didn’t think I’d be writing about cryptocurrency and politics in the same article this year. But here we are. According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, a majority of Americans believe Donald Trump and his family made money in ways they shouldn’t have through crypto. 63% called it “inappropriate.” And the reason people are talking about it isn’t just the poll.
