Coinbase Adds 'NFT Game Studio Altcoin' to Roadmap

CoinStats isn't the only platform focusing on NFTs. Top US crypto exchange Coinbase has added an 'NFT Game Studio Altcoin' to its roadmap, to also make strides in the NFT industry.

Here's what we know:

• The news comes after Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong saying, "The exchange aims to list as many crypto assets as possible, as long as they meet the company's standards."

• Coinbase customers will shortly be able to trade the native token of Vulcan Forged (PYR) (currently trading at $3.47) on its NFT game studio, marketplace and DApp incubator.

• The project has more than 10 games, 20,000 community members and is in the top five for NFT marketplace volume.

Russian Central Bank Begins NFT Consultations

More governments are beginning to pay attention to NFTs, whether regulating or adopting them. The Russian government is no different.

Russia's central bank is dipping its toes into digital financial assets (DFA) and blockchain tech for the first time - opening up public consultations regarding Web3 adoption.

Here's what we know:

• Russia's Central Bank's DFAs will include tokenized instruments, NFTs and stablecoins.

• The financial institution created public consultations of 20 questions for the public to help decide whether the bank should use DFAs using existing regulations or create new ones.

• The questions include whether or not it should standardize smart contracts and expand tokenized assets.

Is FTX's CEO Trolling?

If you can't keep up with the FTX madness, the crypto exchange has filed for bankruptcy, and the CEO, Sam Bankman (SBF), is under supervision by Bahamian authorities.

But WTF is with SBF's Tweets?

We suspect he'll claim to be hacked. This timeline is insane.

Reminder: You have until the end of this month to earn hundreds of dollars in ETH.
