BRIEF NEWS UPDATE

• Welcome, fam! 🔥 We're glad you're tuning in again 💗 Today, we have some exciting topics to discuss. As always, we'll start with the macro news.

• Unfortunately, the situation remains tense due to regional conflicts. This is reflected in the price of gold. It's interesting to note that the Yuan has surpassed the Euro in the trade finance markets. In the USA, the search query "housing crisis" has reached a new all-time high on Google.

• Also, a very strong week for Bitcoin, which crossed the 30k mark. First, the fake news regarding the ETF, shared by Cointelegraph, initially caused a price drop, but then a pump followed as hopes for ETF approval grew stronger. 📈

• This is evident in Google Trends, where "ETF" in connection with Bitcoin is trending more and more. $Link broke out after a year and a half of consolidation, and altcoins, especially memecoins, are on the rise. It feels like an upturn, but be cautious, as a macro news event could change the sentiment once again. ⚡

• The positive sentiment surrounding Bitcoin and crypto has spilled over into NFTs. Are we back? You'll definitely read this after every pump on Twitter 😀. The fact is, the NFT run in 2021 occurred during the peak of a bull market, and this time it might be the same, but it's not guaranteed. Just like with cryptocurrencies, the modest uptick should be approached with caution, given our challenging macroeconomic environment. Nevertheless, it's nice to see floor prices moving upward. Many projects have seen increases of 10-30%. It's been a successful week! 🚀

Let's take a look at some NFT news….. 🤔

• Unbroken Chain, the world's inaugural Ordinals trading fund, is now operational, actively engaging in trading and investing in Ordinals-related assets. This fund is under the guidance of portfolio manager L. Asher Corson, who hails from Consolidated Trading. Initial investments for the fund encompass a substantial acquisition of Bitcoin Rock. Unbroken Chain's goal is to secure $5 million from limited partners. Notable collaborations include working with Domo, the creator of the BRC-20 token standard, and BTC Inc.'s UTXO Management.

• Macy's has launched its digital fashion platform, Mstylelab, as an entry into the metaverse. Its inaugural activation is centered around their fashion brand, On 34th, which debuted in July. Macy's partnered with Journee for this metaverse venture, aiming to provide immersive experiences to a broader audience.

• Dave Torres, VP of Interactive Marketing at Macy's, views Mstylelab as a pivotal part of Macy's Web3 digital strategy, fusing fashion and technology for style inspiration and discovery. In the near future, Macy's plans to unveil the next iteration of its Thanksgiving Day Parade metaverse experience as the 97th annual Thanksgiving Day Parade approaches on November 23 in New York City.

• This parade will introduce the global NFT character brand Cool Cats, marking the first-ever NFT collection to be featured in a holiday festival.
