Are NFTs alive?
Monthly NFT sales volumes on the Ethereum blockchain (the most popular network for art and collectible pictures) on the largest platform OpenSea.
It is important to understand that NFT is primarily a technology, not pictures. Tokens are used in games, management, sale of real estate and even for filing a lawsuit.

🤡 $1.7 million transferred from Alameda wallets overnight
All these funds “floated away” through crypto-mixers. Moreover, it is unlikely that judicial liquidators are behind the transfer - they carefully tried to hide the routes.
How did it all happen? 30 cryptocurrency wallets associated with Alameda Research were idle for 4 weeks, and on the night of December 28 they suddenly became active. They exchanged and mixed over $1.7 million worth of crypto assets using "mixers". The next day, it turned out that the initiator of the transfers used extensive planning to hide transaction routes.
According to Cointelegraph, all this is very suspicious: after all, it has only been a few days since Sam Bankman Freed was released on bail.

The laws of the metaverse: how the life of our avatars will be regulated
The South Korean government has announced the preparation of one of the world's first ethics manuals for the metaverse. Its principles are designed to ensure trust between the participants of the metaverse, for the creation of which the government of the country has promised to allocate $170 million.
Previously, it took decades to assess the legal risks associated with technological breakthroughs - for example, the appearance of cars or airplanes, but in the case of the development of metauniverses, we have much less time, Andrey Neznamov, managing director of the Sberbank AI Regulation Center, is sure.

📈🚀 Ethereum saves little brother?
Today, the price of #SOL has increased by almost 6%, and all because of one post on Twitter.
#ETH founder Vitalik Buterin supported Solana developers:
“Smart people have told me that Solana has a strong developer community. Since the opportunists with money are now washed out of the market, the project has a bright future. It’s hard for me to judge from the outside, but I wish them prosperity,” he concluded.
Recently, Solana has been under tremendous pressure - the departure of developers to other projects and the departure of the largest NFT teams to other blockchains put a lot of pressure on the price of the coin.

🇨🇳 China to launch state-owned NFT trading platform
NFT tokens are so popular that China will launch the world's first state market to work with them. The platform starts on January 1 during an offline event in Beijing. Its name translates as "Chinese digital asset trading platform".
What can the platform do? It will help Chinese traders buy NFTs as well as digital copyrights and property rights. Just like with digital works of art, they can be traded on closed and highly regulated platforms.
Is the NFT platform positive? Undoubtedly. Apparently, China is not going to ban the crypto industry. True, he does not use the term NFT, instead, "digital collectibles."
China easing regulation? It looks like they are going to create favorable conditions for the investor. For example, China recently allowed some companies to conduct audits for the American regulator.

⚡️ According to “Santiment” data, the Bitcoin price range is largely due to the decline in whale interest. This chart illustrates how closely correlated BTC and $1M+ whale trades are.
If prices continue to decline and there is a surge, this will historically be a bullish signal.
