Leading Art Auction Is Quiting The NFT Market

Leading Art Auction Is Quiting The NFT Market

The post Leading Art Auction Is Quiting The NFT Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Christie’s the world’s largest art auction house, its shuttering its digital art division, home to many NFTs. The institution hosted a $69 million NFT auction in 2021, helping kickstart the sector’s fame. Theoretically, the firm may continue selling NFTs in the “21st Century Art” category, but this seems unlikely. The Art World Ditches NFTs The NFT sector took the world by storm in 2022, but the broader Web3 sector has largely moved on. Although there was a brief revival earlier this year, and the space is still exploring use cases, this is unrelated to their purported use as an art form. Christie’s, the world’s largest art auction house, is shuttering all its NFT services: Sponsored Sponsored “Christie’s has made a strategic decision to reformat digital art sales. The company will continue to sell digital art within the larger 20th and 21st Century Art category,” the institution claimed in a statement. This may seem like a minor development, but the art auction house is very key to NFT history. In 2021, Christie’s made history by selling an NFT collection for $69 million. This largely helped trigger the technology’s rise to fame, powering the gains of 2022. Christie’s even launched an on-chain auction platform as a show of confidence. It may be difficult to see why that confidence is gone today. Objectively, NFTs aren’t performing much worse than they have been in 2023 or 2024. For one, the top NFT collections’ trading volume increased by nearly 90% in the last 24 hours. The sector’s most recent peak is smaller than in 2024, but it’s not a significant drop. NFT Market Caps. Source: CoinGecko More Than Volumes and Market Caps Unfortunately, though, stats like that are irrelevant to NFTs’ place in the art world. Years ago, serious artists heralded them as an important future for digital art,…

Analyst Cites Elliott Wave Pattern as XRP Enters Explosive Phase

Analyst Cites Elliott Wave Pattern as XRP Enters Explosive Phase

The post Analyst Cites Elliott Wave Pattern as XRP Enters Explosive Phase appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Technical analysis identifies XRP completing corrective phase in Elliott Wave cycle Rail acquisition and RLUSD launch position Ripple for increased transaction volume Multiple ETF filings await October approval decision with institutional backing Analyst Davie Satoshi has identified what he describes as a textbook Elliott Wave formation on XRP’s monthly logarithmic chart, suggesting the cryptocurrency has entered the most potentially explosive phase of its current cycle. The wave count analysis indicates XRP has finished its corrective sequence and is now beginning wave 3 of a major five-wave pattern. Rapid Fire Charts: $XRP I may not have the biggest $XRP following yet, but this setup is too clean to ignore. 📊 The monthly log chart is showing textbook Elliott Wave structure. If the count holds, we’re entering wave iii of major wave 5, historically, the most explosive move.… pic.twitter.com/vrgEiPHXuY — davie satoshi (@NFTdavie) September 7, 2025 Elliott Wave theory traditionally associates the third wave with the strongest price movements in any complete cycle. Satoshi’s analysis suggests that XRP’s recent price consolidation has established the foundation for this anticipated advance, with multiple fundamental catalysts aligning to support the technical pattern. Strategic Acquisitions Drive Utility Expansion Ripple’s acquisition of Rail Financial provides direct access to stablecoin transaction flows that currently represent approximately 10% of total market volume. Satoshi highlighted that routing these transactions through the XRP Ledger could increase both network utility and trading volume while advancing Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity scaling strategy. The RLUSD stablecoin launch complements this acquisition by reducing Ripple’s dependence on traditional banking partnerships for cross-border payment processing. This integration allows Ripple to expand its payment network reach while maintaining control over critical infrastructure components. November’s global implementation of the ISO 20022 payment messaging standard creates another adoption catalyst. RippleNet’s existing compliance with this protocol positions XRP as a bridge asset…

While a major crypto favorite was once again left out. 📌 What Happened S&P Dow Jones Indices said Robinhood (HOOD) will join the S&P 500 at the upcoming quarterly rebalance, replacing a departing constituent. HOOD shares immediately popped 7% on the news. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy (MSTR), despite checking all the requirement boxes, was not selected this cycle. Why HOOD fits: Size, liquidity, and a more diversified fintech model (brokerage, options, cash, card, crypto) make it a comfortable add for an operating-company index Why MSTR didn’t: Meeting basic requirements isn’t a guarantee; the committee uses discretion. MSTR still screens like a Bitcoin proxy more than a diversified operator and clearly has more to prove its merits as an actual company. MSTR’s recent price action certainly isn’t helping its case, down 16% this month while Bitcoin is only down 3%. 🗣️ What They’re Saying It’s an exciting milestone to have Robinhood join the storied S&P 500 Index.

OpenSea $1M NFT Fund Eclipsed by Major SEA Token Announcement

OpenSea $1M NFT Fund Eclipsed by Major SEA Token Announcement

NFT marketplace OpenSea has launched a $1 million initiative to acquire and curate digital art, unveiling what it calls the Flagship Collection. The move, announced Monday, comes as the company prepares for the rollout of its SEA token, a development that has quickly overshadowed the cultural reserve. The Flagship Collection marks OpenSea’s first formal reserve, intended to show NFTs not just as speculative assets but as cultural artifacts. The program will operate under a committee-driven process, with selections made by OpenSea employees alongside external advisors. OpenSea Pitches NFTs as “Building Blocks of Culture” in Flagship Archive According to the announcement, purchases will be announced publicly across the platform’s channels, framed as “acquisition moments” designed to educate and engage collectors. OpenSea says it has implemented strict safeguards to ensure fairness, including internal controls to prevent leaks or trading misuse. Committee members with financial interests in a project under review will be recused from decisions. While a handful of external advisors may provide input, final authority rests with the committee. The first acquisition in the collection is CryptoPunk #5273, part of the original Larva Labs series later acquired by Yuga Labs. The marketplace purchased the pixelated character for 65 ETH, worth roughly $285,000 at the time of the transaction two weeks ago. The company describes the piece, dubbed the “OpenSea Punk,” as emblematic of the outsider and creator ethos that defined the early NFT movement. Adam Hollander, OpenSea’s chief marketing officer, said the initiative seeks to place the work of emerging artists alongside historically important tokens. Over the coming months, the platform expects to purchase one new piece every few days, spanning from rising creators to rare and high-profile collections. The long-term goal is to build what OpenSea characterizes as a “living museum” of digital culture. In a blog post accompanying the announcement, OpenSea argued that NFTs should be viewed as cultural building blocks, comparable to artifacts that document the evolution of digital creativity. “Years from now, we believe people will look back at NFTs as the foundation of digital culture,” the post stated, positioning the Flagship Collection as a permanent archive. The company emphasized that it has no intention of flipping assets for profit. While sales may occur in rare cases, such as concerns about a project’s stability, OpenSea said its intent is to hold NFTs long-term. Knowledge of both acquisitions and potential sales is restricted to a small group of employees bound by strict compliance rules. Despite the initiative’s cultural framing, industry attention quickly shifted to OpenSea’s broader strategy and the anticipated SEA token launch. The Flagship Collection may serve as a symbolic backdrop, underscoring the company’s effort to reassert leadership in an increasingly competitive NFT market. OpenSea, once the undisputed leader in NFT trading, has faced rising pressure from rivals such as Blur and Magic Eden. OpenSea Acquires Rally to Drive Mobile NFT Push Amid Regulatory Win OpenSea previously acquired Rally, a mobile-first Web3 platform, in a move to expand digital asset trading on mobile devices. The deal, announced in July, signals OpenSea’s ambition to build what it calls an “onchain everything app,” integrating NFTs, tokens, and other assets into a single mobile-native experience. Rally’s co-founders, Chris Maddern and Christine Hall, joined OpenSea’s leadership team, with Maddern stepping in as chief technology officer. OpenSea said Rally’s expertise in mobile token trading will accelerate its roadmap. In a post on X, Maddern described the vision as growing the on-chain economy for creators, collectors, and traders, noting that tokens and NFTs should complement each other. The acquisition comes after OpenSea launched its revamped “OS2” platform in May. The update introduced full fungible token trading, support for 14 blockchains including Flow, ApeChain, Sony’s Soneium BSL, and Berachain, and cross-chain purchase functionality aimed at simplifying multi-chain transactions. In February, OpenSea confirmed plans for an SEA token airdrop tied to the OS2 rollout, though no launch date has been set. The company’s latest push follows a favorable regulatory outcome. In February, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission closed its investigation into OpenSea, which had begun in 2024 over allegations the marketplace operated as an unregistered securities exchange. OpenSea co-founder Devin Finzer called the decision a win for the NFT community. Industry figures, including Magic Eden’s Chris Akhavan, also welcomed the news as a boost for the sector. Notably, the NFT market has shown mixed signs of recovery. Data from CryptoSlam recorded sales ranging from $115.4 million to $170.5 million between July and August before cooling to $92 million in September
