The NFT market has experienced a dramatic 28% surge in market cap within 24 hours, breaking past $6.7 billion, according to CoinGecko. A major catalyst was a whale scooping up 45 CryptoPunks for $5.9 million, pushing the floor price up 16%. Other top collections like Pudgy Penguins also saw gains, while daily trading volumes spiked to $47 million. High-profile activity, including Snoop Dogg’s $12 million NFT sale on Telegram and Ubisoft’s renewed focus on blockchain gaming, suggests a broader resurgence. Analysts speculate this could mark a capital rotation from Bitcoin into NFTs, though sustainability remains uncertain.

Coinbase has unveiled its ‘Base App,’ a comprehensive mobile wallet that merges trading, decentralized social media (via Farcaster), contactless payments (using USDC), and AI-powered agents. The app, built on Coinbase’s layer-2 network Base, seeks to transform the crypto experience by enabling creators to monetize content and merchants to accept low-fee USDC payments. With partnerships like Shopify and a new Payments API, Coinbase aims to drive daily utility beyond speculative trading. However, challenges remain, including regulatory scrutiny, platform gatekeepers (Apple/Google), and user adoption. If successful, Base App could establish blockchain as an invisible yet essential infrastructure for everyday transactions.

These firms span sectors like e-commerce, EVs, gaming, and pharmaceuticals, reflecting China’s push for self-sufficiency and global expansion.
