Hollywood actors have joined the Writers Guild of America in striking against the major studios. This inter-union solidarity recalls the last great Hollywood strike of 1960, when actors and writers together brought studio production to a standstill for nearly six months.
One of the main reasons for the strike revolves around generative AI. Just recently, the studios have submitted a proposal that include scanning background actors using AI and paying them for one day’s work. The studios would then be able to use their likeness forever with no payment or consent.

🖼 Trump Reveals NFT Income, Crypto Holdings in New Disclosure
The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, has provided more information about his financial state, detailing income earned from speaking fees, the sale of his Washington, D.C. hotel and digital collectibles, Bloomberg reported. In a revised disclosure, filed with the Office of Government Ethics, he reveals the exact sums for more than $1 billion in income received from these and other sources that he had previously declared only in broad terms to the Federal Election Commission. In the earlier disclosure submitted in April, Trump, now running for a second, non-consecutive term in the 2024 election, was allowed to indicate broad ranges for some types of income like dividends, capital gains, interest, rent, and royalties. Other types of income, such as salaries and speaking fees, he is expected to disclose in exact amounts, the report noted. The presidential hopeful gave more details on the company that receives licensing fees for using Trump’s image on a collection of NFTs, CIC Digital LLC, in the latest disclosure. The latter owns a U.S. bank account with less than $1,000 but also an Ethereum wallet holding between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of crypto.

🖼 Google Plays Nice With NFTs, Starbucks Puts Ex-MLB Star’s NFT Project on Deck
Google is allowing NFTs in games in its play store, while Starbucks recruits Micah Johnson’s Aku character for its next at-bat with NFTs. This week, Google made a big shift in their policy towards NFTs, allowing apps in the Google Play store to include the ability to buy, sell or earn tokenized assets. Meanwhile, Starbucks Odyssey, the brand’s Web3 loyalty program, announced their next Stamp would be "designed by Aku," the NFT character launched by former LA Dodgers player-turned-artist Micah Johnson. In other news, Snoop Doog and a16z-backed decentralized music venture Sound announced a $20 million funding round and we got another “phygital” sneaker drop. Google made a big announcement this week, doing a 180 on in-game tokenized assets such as NFTs and allowing Play Store apps to include the ability to buy, sell and earn digital assets. Developers who incorporate blockchain-based elements are required make it clear on their Play Store page and make sure they don’t run afoul of Google’s gambling and contests policies. In June, tweets from Beats by Dre and AkuDreams teased a collab with Aku-themed headphones but no details have been revealed about when those Beats are dropping.

🖼 Blockchain gaming platform creates refundable NFT program
Blockchain gaming startup Spielworks has partnered with the Web3 platform Mycelium Network to launch a program that allows full refunds for nonfungible token (NFT) purchases. In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, the team explained that within the program, users who acquire NFTs called "reverties" are eligible to get a full USD Coin. The project also allows users to stake this new series of NFTs in Spielworks’ game Dungeon Master and purchase them using USDC via a separate minting mechanism. Through the partnership, Spielworks will leverage the Mycelium Network to support USDC purchases. Within the minting transaction, the USDC will be transferred to a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending pool at the Aave protocol. The team said that the interest earned in the lending pool will be used to buy back Spielworks’ token in an attempt to help its community. A portion of the earnings will also be allocated to help the Wombat Protection Society of Australia. According to Adrian Krion, the co-founder and CEO of Spielworks, the NFTs will also have utility within their Dungeon Worlds game. They will be providing mining power and material drops to their players.

However, the company recognizes the uncertainties and worries that the introduction of AI presents - but don’t fear, there’s no chance of a M3GAN-like doll-gone-wrong here. Will Weinraub, CEO and co-founder of OnChain Studio and Cryptoys told CoinDesk that kids born in the age of blockchain and AI should be able to interact with their favorite characters from intellectual property (IP) franchises, as opposed to “faceless robotic companions,” such as Google Home. Alfonso Martinez, Chief Experience Officer at Cryptoys said in a press release that the company’s priority.
