Crypto Market Highlights: NFT News
- An unusually low-priced sale of a Bored Ape NFT for just $114.74 has NFT enthusiasts slobbering, given that the cheapest available BAYC NFT sells for 106.8 ETH, or approximately $363,654.34. According to Etherscan data, a seller is known as ‘cchan.eth’ sold Bored Ape #835 on OpenSea for 115 DAI on Monday. DAI is a stablecoin with a dollar peg, so the entity received only $114.74 while ($5.74) went to OpenSea fees. Some theorize that the seller may have mistakenly believed that the NFTs were being sold for the stated amounts in ETH rather than DAI for a variety of reasons.
- MAC Cosmetics is partnering with ConsenSys to release its first NFTs on the Polygon to support America’s National Youth HIV/Aids Awareness Day on 10 April.

Crypto Market Highlights: General News
- The gaming-focused Ronin Network reported a loss of more than $625 million in USDC and ETH on Tuesday. The exploit affected Ronin Network validator nodes for Sky Mavis, the publishers of the popular Axie Infinity game, and the Axie DAO. An attacker “created fake withdrawals” from the Ronin bridge across two transactions using “hacked private keys.” While the Ronin sidechain has nine validators that require five signatures for withdrawals to protect against these types of attacks, the blog post mentions that “the attacker discovered a backdoor through our gas-free RPC node, which they abused to obtain the signature for the Axie DAO validator.” The losses totalled 173,600 ETH and 25.5 million USDC, which is currently worth more than $625 million.
- Polygon has revealed that it is developing a new zero-knowledge-proof-based identity solution to assist users in verifying their identities without disclosing sensitive personal information. The new Polygon ID service will use Zero-Knowledge-proofs to cryptographically confirm a user’s identity without requiring the user to share documents like a passport or driver’s license with a third party. Polygon ID is currently in development, with a full release scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2022.
- WAVES token is gaining over 50% price increase as the Waves Labs has been announced to launch in the U.S. over 11 hours ago. The token’s price is pumping from $31 to $59.88, following the data at the time of writing. Waves protocol’s TVL has also boosted to approximately $4.34 billion. Corbital LLC has announced the launch of Waves Labs, its intention to headquarters in Miami, and several key hires in their U.S. senior leadership team. The move comes hot on the heels of the Waves Transformation plan announced in February 2022. Waves protocol has witnessed substantial growth in terms of TVL since the beginning of March 2022.
- Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen is starting a “Change the Code, Not the Climate” campaign alongside climate activist group Greenpeace and others. This crusade aims to persuade the Bitcoin community to change the energy-intensive means by which transactions are carried out, which already consumes as much energy as Sweden. Larsen claims that in five years, Bitcoin’s energy use will be comparable to Japan’s. He alongside Greenpeace and others was reaching out to key people and corporations in hopes of compelling the leadership to agree to change the PoW.
- Binance Labs made a strategic investment in Aptos Labs, a Layer 1 blockchain built by some of the original creators, researchers, designers, and builders of the Diem blockchain, to accelerate the adoption of the decentralized ecosystem. Aptos and Binance will work closely together in growing the Aptos ecosystem through development, code review, infrastructure building, hackathons and much more – all to come soon.
