Yuga Labs Explores the Idea of an Existing NFT Collection From Fold 12

Yuga Labs, the company behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club, is exploring the idea of an already inscribed NFT collection fully hosted on the Bitcoin network and in the Ordinals protocol registry by Fold12.

According to the announcement, Fold 12 had released its first auction, which saw it offering a 300-piece NFT collection on the Bitcoin blockchain and via the Ordinals protocol this week. Hence, Fold 12 has gained an edge in the confirmation of their NFT release priority against the Yuga Labs both on the Bitcoin network and in the Ordinals protocol registry.

It appears that this is not the first event of replication that has occurred among the companies, as the announcement noted that Yuga Labs had also previously copycatted their logo, BAYC.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.

    Despite hopes from industry participants, the topic of crypto was not discussed during the first general debate of the 2024 U.S. presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The debate, hosted by CNN, primarily focused on the economy, with brief mentions of other issues such as abortion, immigration, and foreign policy. While crypto has been a talking point throughout the election cycle, neither candidate made any significant statements about it during the debate. The crypto industry is hoping for a Congress and administration that will pass legislation friendly to digital asset businesses, and is looking to repeat the massive spending on elections from 2022.

  • Development company Yuga Labs sells one of its gaming companies for about $97.1 million

    According to CNBC, Improbable, the development company behind Yuga Labs' metaverse Otherside, which acquired multiplayer game service company The Multiplayer Group (MPG) in 2019, has sold it to Keywords Studios for £76.5 million (approximately $97.1 million).Improbable co-founder and CEO Herman Narula said the deal is part of its "venture investment" strategy, which involves investing in or acquiring teams related to gaming and metaverse, and choosing to expand or split these teams later. While this move suggests that Improbable may reduce its investment in gaming, Narula does not believe that selling MPG means it is reducing its business in this area. Narula said: "We will not sell any technology, nor will we stop working with gaming companies."Keywords, headquartered in Ireland, has more than 70 studios in Los Angeles, France, Brazil, Mexico, and Spain, mainly developing games for third-party developers. MPG was founded in 2018 and is known for its work on games such as "Fallout 76" and "Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond".
