Best Case Scenario
$FLIES hits Uniswap and allow MUTATIO NFTs to be wrapped into ERC20 tokens, collection responds to the news with 58 ETH in volume and a brief 10x before settling at 0.0023 ETH floor (~3x).
Via XCOPY:
“Community-run Mutatio wrapper, enabling you to trade liquid flies on the global computer!
Fine print: use at your own risk! I own zero Mutatio, zero flies. No utility. No roadmap. No ‘your other idea goes here’.”
Meanwhile, Punk4945 continues building a monumental XCOPY collection, this time acquiring Best-Case Scenario for 19.5 ETH.
The artwork - with a description of “Only the best” was originally minted December 28, 2019 via KnownOrigin.

Closing Thoughts
Overall volume stays slow as NFT NYC is in full swing.
Memecoin season continues its periodic crossover into art, this time briefly rocketing the XCOPY MUTATIO collection. The key is artist buy-in and after initially resisting, XCOPY puts a stamp of approval (with a caveat) on this one.
1/1 art is set to pick up with the Foundation x Base GENESIS collection closing tomorrow (Friday) at 1:00pm EST and many other 1+ ETH auctions underway.
