Closing Thoughts
Jack Butcher steals the day and factors into both major headlines. Thus far Velocity Pass FUD (TL;DR - holders do not feel mechanics held up end of the “premium” bargain) has dominated both social conversation and price floor, but eventually conversation should shift to Butcher’s first generative collection itself. Significant.
Curated continues to work with Sotheby’s / Starry Night, following up their Meridian Prime acquisition with a Driftershoots Where My Vans Go.
Underneath the headlines, PROOF had a strong release, Chewy Stoll took over the SuperRare sales bot, Batz stayed hot, one buyer swept 15 Luke Shannon’s across two collections, an OSF Red Lite changed hands, and Botto’s The Memes by 6529 highlighted collection activity.
Big conversation incoming - don’t miss it…
