THE CRYPTO EYE OF SAURON ISSUED A REPORT
One of the coolest companies that follows our every step in the blockchain, Chainalysis, published 109p. crypto report.
Here it is: https://go.chainalysis.com/rs/503-FAP-074/images/state-of-web3.pdf
I took the most important things from there. Don't thank.
GETTING STARTED WITH NFTs:
• NFT transactions stabilized in Q2 2022 after exploding in 2021 and early 2022.
• At the peak in September 2021 and February 2022, users contributed $3.9 billion to NFT marketplaces.
• In Q1 2022, the number of unique addresses buying or selling almost approached 1 million. In Q2 about 750k. A third has left.
• At the end of April, over 5000 unique active NFT collections were registered per week. (There were deals on OpenSea).
• NFT is not represented in any region by more than 30%. NFT is used globally. Central and South Asia lead, followed by North America and Western Europe.
• Retail (wallets <$10k) 90%+ made the vast majority of transactions BUT! NFT collectors ($10k-$100k) gave the market 50% of the volume and the institutional ones with $100k+ come on their heels and give 30%-40% in different periods. Retail by amount gives only 10% -20%. The point is that collections need to target NFT collectors.
• The number of retailers is growing, while NFT collectors have not increased since September.
• NFT according to Google Trends had a value of 100 in January-February 2022. At the moment it is about 15. A drop of more than 85%.
METAVERS AND GAMING
• From September 2019 to March 2022, prices for virtual real estate on the blockchain increased by 879%. Real estate grew by 39%. But the data is presented for March. In Q2, virtual land prices halved.
• In February 2022, Wash traders earned over $20 million on incentive programs, in March $40 million, in April $33 million, in May less than $3 million.
• And the last point for developers and why NFT is generally needed in a business model.
Let's simulate the situation based on some Electronic Arts data. Their Ultimate Team player spends about $65 on cards in primary sales, with 25 million players giving $1.62 billion 💸 One of web3's features is the ability to set resale royalties and change the monetization model. Sometimes a product can be given away for free and on the ressel market, for example, the resale price will increase by 10-11 times, and if NFT is resold at least 2 times, it will give much more and with the same 6% royalty (adidas and nike take 10%), you can : A) Earn more than with initial sales B) Give players a new experience and earning opportunities. They will still be grateful for this opportunity, but all you need to do is activate the liquidity of the secondary market! How to do it? Learn from Nike and I recommend looking into the RTFKT case and what powerful airdrops they gave out to their holders and how they created a narrative for their future metaverse. And that's not counting the other goodies that your satisfied user will receive.
Again! The introduction of NFT, with the right approach and the creation of a not empty hype, can allow developers to earn more and give players the opportunity to earn. Test new business models. It turns the game around.
STEPN ANNOUNCED MONKEY REALM
Stepn has written an open letter to the community with an intro about the new Ape Realm. As expected, the new realm will be on Ethereum in collaboration with BAYC.
From the interesting:
• BAYC holders will be able to freemint their own sneakers. Apparently they understand that it is important not to aim at retail, but a little higher and at OG to improve the economy. Because a large share of retail in the project is a flip. This is indirectly confirmed by the report (https://t.me/CryptoGamingPool_News/3853) by Chainalysis.
• Over the next 6 months, it is planned to release more products that will use GMT tokens.
• Old realms will be prioritized for partnerships (sports clubs, films, social networks). And NFTs will give real privileges to partners.

1. BAYC Metaverse Starts Testing This Week
The first user journey to the Otherside metaverse will take place on July 16th, so BAYC is starting testing. The first test will take place tomorrow.
The project called on its users from Europe and North America to join the testing, but it will be possible to watch its broadcast from any part of the world.
Very soon we will be able to see the metaverse and the game from the legendary Yuga Labs, but the beta test will help us build an idea of what Otherside will look like.
2.Lamborghini will start certifying parts with the help of NFT
The VSR racing team, with the support of Lamborghini Squadra Corse, is creating a new NFT certification program for racing car parts. This initiative will be carried out in partnership with the Go2NFT NFT platform and Skeu Network blockchain platform. NFT certification should solve the problem that most brands face when protecting their intellectual property.
3.The Crypto Mile is a new show about the metaverses.
In each episode, the authors talk about different virtual worlds, introduce viewers to their features, interview representatives, and describe popular cases.
In the second episode of the show:
Excursion to Decentraland: meeting with Brandon Johnson, CEO of TerraZero, who introduced one of the world's first metaverse mortgage lending models.
Somnium Space: Meeting with the founder - Artur Sychev, discussion of digital immortality, followed by an interview with Melissa McBride - CEO of Sophia High School about the benefits of VR education for children.
4. The web3 football club, which is run by crypto investors, has had another high-profile transfer.
Most recently, Adidas unveils Crawley Town kit in collaboration with ArtBlocks, and today the club announced the signing of 22-year-old Tottenham defender Toby Omole. Over the past 3 years he has played only for the youth squads of Londoners, he can be called a budding and promising player. Toby could definitely find a place in the middle of the league right now or go on loan to a weaker championship and wait for a chance to light up in the main team, which in recent years has reached the Champions League final and consistently got into the top 4. Prior to this, 18-year-old James Balagizi was taken on loan from Liverpool.
Recall that Crowley Town plays in the 4th strongest English division, usually young players with great prospects, like Omole and Balagizi, rarely go for such a reduction. The transfer value of both players does not exceed $50 thousand, which is equal to several NFTs from collections like Moonbirds or Artblocks, which were actively promoted by investors together.
According to Transfermarkt, the membership of the club is estimated at $2.43 million, which can be called a mere trifle for members of Wagmi, many of their NFT collections reach the price of $ tens of millions.
Such a step of the innovative owners, without exaggeration, the most technologically advanced club in the world, forced to draw attention to the project in anticipation of the release of PFP tokens, which are going to be sold today by 0.35 ETH. The site rolled out a full team of club managers, topped by Gary Vaynerchuk, Gfunk, gmoney and many other AAA-level influencers. Most of them have already posted updated avatars in the form of a football club.
The project is obviously going to play in the classic world of football according to the rules of the web3 marketing of the future. It is incredibly exciting to see where this leads and at what stage real successes begin to appear.

6. Reddit releases collectible avatars on Polygon but doesn't call them NFTs
The drop will take place in the coming weeks. reddit admittedthat they chose Polygon because of the environmental friendliness of the network and minimal transaction costs. The company said that the collection could not be bought with cryptocurrencies. Only fiat purchases are allowed. Avatars will be sold for a fixed price, without any auctions.
“We see blockchain as an opportunity to expand the independence of Reddit. We have always been a model of what decentralization can look like on the web, as our communities are self-created and self-managed. Collectible avatars on the blockchain are the first step to test the potential benefits of this concept,” summed up the representatives of the company.
