    Ponke Meme Coin Brand Teams With RIPNDIP for Blind Box Collectible Drop

    For years, blind box drops in crypto have followed a familiar script: the digital component first, often through marketplaces, and the physical goods secondary. A new collaboration between Solana meme coin brand Ponke and streetwear label RIPNDIP is trying to flip that model by starting not on-chain, but on store shelves first.  The Ponke x RIPNDIP blind-box collectible is a physical product distributed through RIPNDIP’s existing retail and mainstream channels. The blockchain component, built on...

    Why This Billionaire Collector Continues to Buy NFTs in 2025

    The NFT market has fallen off sharply since the 2021-22 bull run, but at least one billionaire collector is still betting big on the tokenized assets. In one of the largest private NFT deals of the year, businessman and collector Adam Weitsman recently acquired 229 Meebits NFTs in a single over-the-counter transaction, marking the biggest-known purchase from the collection—which was launched by CryptoPunks creator Larva Labs in 2021. Weitsman continues to double down on digital art and culture,...

Just a camera, intuition, and an unspoken promise to document humanity across all seven continents. The result is “Moments of the Unknown,” a living archive of global intimacy, presented as both an exhibition at Glitch Gallery in Marfa, Texas for Art Blocks Marfa Weekend this month and a documentary screening at the Crowley Theater down the road.  Decrypt sat down with Ave...

    Moonbirds NFTs Are Soaring Again: What's Behind the Price Surge

    A little over a year ago, Moonbirds was a cautionary tale. The once-hyped Ethereum profile picture (PFP) project, launched in 2022 by Kevin Rose’s Proof to immense demand, had seen its reputation crater amid community backlash, ownership shakeups, and plummeting prices. Holders griped about broken promises, shifting roadmaps, and changing leadership. By mid-2023, the project’s floor price had fallen from double-digit ETH highs to well under 1 ETH, making it an enduring punchline in NFT circles....

    Bitcoin Is Getting Native, Dollar-Backed Stablecoin USDB

    Bitcoin is heralded as the world’s hardest money, but the network lacks one of the most foundational financial tools: a native, dollar-denominated stablecoin. While other native Bitcoin stablecoins already exist, they are backed by Bitcoin, not dollars. That’s changing today with the announcement of USDB, a new stablecoin that aims to bring a regulated, U.S. dollar-backed asset directly to Bitcoin's base layer. Created by decentralized exchange Flashnet, USDB will be issued on Bitcoin layer-2 ne...

    Bitcoin DeFi Is Taking Root on Sui—Here’s How It Works

    Bitcoin is widely considered the most secure and decentralized digital asset. But for all its strength as a store of value, it’s historically offered little financial utility due to network limitations, while its ballooning price has kept it from being seen as everyday spending money. Bitcoin DeFi, also known as BTCfi—a term referring to decentralized finance applications built on Bitcoin—is emerging to change that. Sui is one of several layer-1 blockchains now supporting Bitcoin-based functiona...
