POAP or It Didn't Happen x Spotify Welcomes NFTs
1. More Utility Coming to NFTs
“Pics or it didn’t happen.” How about POAP or it didn’t happen? Proof of attendance protocols are becoming one of the most exciting uses for NFTs and blockchain technology. These digital badges can function as mementos for events like concerts or fashion shows and can even open up possibilities for blockchain-secured digital autographs and VIP-level personalized unlocks. POAPs showcase NFTs’ potential to show off exclusive experiences within an inclusive community.
2. NFTs Migrate to Spotify
Artists on Spotify can already showcase their merchandise and tickets, but now they’ll be able to promote their NFTs on the platform. Spotify isn’t selling NFTs though. Listeners will visit external sites to trade digital collectibles. This is another way that large platforms are trying to empower creators with decentralized technology.
3. Guccighost’s Final Creative Chapter
Guccighost (aka Trevor Andrew) is turning his physical Gucci graffiti art collection into a series of NFTs. There’s been a long IP journey with Andrew using Gucci logos in his graffiti work, which the fashion house eventually signed off on. Now, he’s using an NFT auction as a way to retire the project. Think of the auction as a digital capstone. So where should we start the bidding?
4. Charli XCX Gamifies in Roblox
There’s a consistent sentiment from music artists when doing metaverse experiences that they want to engage more deeply with their fans. Charli XCX is doing this by focusing on gamification and fan participation leading up to her virtual concert in Roblox. If you win enough Star Power points, then your avatar can perform alongside Charli on June 17th. Let the games begin!
5. Robinhood Brokers Crypto Wallets
The crypto trading community will have an opportunity to hold digital assets (including NFTs) through Robinhood’s new self-custody wallet app. Robinhood is making a lateral move from the traditional stock trading world into the crypto/NFT space with the aim being to empower its users with DeFi. The brokerage app is building off of a rich community of young traders who want more freedom and control over their assets.
