Closing Thoughts
Here comes Shape!
There have been few primary collection releases at both size and cost as of late. It is a chicken or the egg. Is it because the art market is having a hard time? Is it because the artists at the top of it haven’t chosen that path? Likely a bit of both.
We’re about to see some things happen here, largely in conjunction with the debut of Shape L2. Yes, there will be incentivized collecting and an initial infusion of capital. That is common practice for a launch like this. Once we get to the other side of it, there will be takeaways for those paying attention.
