Top News of The Week:

• Instagram is slowly becoming an NFT marketplace! Starting this week, Instagram allows minting, buying & selling NFTs directly inside the app. This feature has only been available for selected digital artists. During the weekend, Polygon’s token, $MATIC, Polygon pumping up to 25%. It’s been an excellent year for Polygon as they partnered with big names, such as Starbucks, Reddit, and Instagram! Instagram will support multiple blockchains. Including Ethereum, Polygon, Flow, and Solana. Here's a well-written article by NftNow.
  
  

• The first popular mint took place earlier this week by the popular artist Drift It sold out in 10 seconds. The collection opened at a price of $1.000 USD. A few hours later the collection items were trading at a price of approximately $4K USD in OpenSea. We are expecting more NFT releases through Instagram this week. So far, it's been positive for the NFT community!

• The Fifa World Cup NFTs are on fire! As we approach the beginning of the most popular sports event in the world, the hype on NFT related to sports is also rising! Opening great opportunities for NFT investors, football fans, and celebrities. Hype is building up, and we have seen a few NFT collections selling out quickly! Sorare, a blockchain-based gaming platform partnered with top footballer, Leonel Messi. Last year Sorare received $680 million in funding to develop the fantasy sports platform.

• OpenSea, the largest Marketplace, announced via a tweet that they will be supporting creator royalties by enforcing them in their platform. Do you think Royalties should be enforced? Or shall they be optional? Creators get income from royalties, and it's a monetary incentive for artists and NFT creators. On the other hand, investors prefer saving money on royalties, and marketplaces with optional royalties have become more popular.
