Wallet merging in crypto represents a counterintuitive strategy—one that Adam Weitsman demonstrated on June 20, 2026, when he consolidated four separate cryptocurrency wallets into a single address. His decision occurred mere hours before the NormiesART community snapshot, a moment that would determine allocation for the Zombie NFT collection. In the NFT world, collectors usually do ...

The total sits more than 90% below the 2021 peak. NFT market capitalization stood near $1.42 billion in June 2026, according to CoinGecko. The ...
The rise and fall of Magic Eden from dominant NFT marketplace to target of massive class action litigation tells a complete story about crypto fraud, strategy changes driven by red numbers, and consumers trapped in unfulfilled promises.

Breaking high-value NFTs into ERC-20 tokens created a new market segment. In 2025, it reached $187.5 million USD. Projections suggest $1.67 billion USD by 2034, with 28.1% annual growth.

Security in the NFT ecosystem returns to center of Smart contract audit. On June 8, 2026, Yuga Labs executed a white-hat rescue operation, recovering 68 NFTs from Flooring Protocol’s liquidity pools. Among the rescued assets were 29 Bored Apes and 2 CryptoPunks. The total value exceeded $500,000. This incident demonstrates why a smart contract audit ...
Traditional “soulbound” NFTs (non-transferable) were implemented by blocking the transferFrom function or reverting any movement. But this approach has a fundamental flaw: the token stays trapped forever in the same wallet, even if the user violates the terms of a service or the credential expires. EIP-5484 introduces a much more flexible standard: conditional burning. Instead ...
When traders and collectors ask which platform dominates the NFT space right now, the answer is no longer as simple as “Blur or OpenSea.” The latest NFT marketplace volume & market share data for June 2026 reveals a clear three-tier hierarchy: Magic Eden at the top, OpenSea climbing back from the brink, and Blur losing ...
