Closing Thoughts
Shape closes the weekend with two of its strongest 1/1 headlines.
The sale of the day (my opinion) falls outside of the headlines. ‘Fly Juice’ is an official XCOPY collab edition of 10 alongside WizardX, and its 1.69 WETH acquisition looks like a steal.
After a super-charged T, W, and TR last week, the overall art market took a few days to breathe. Events across Bybit, Sotheby’s, and Shape have the potential to re-ignite it. Let’s see.
