OneOf Unveil Rare NFTs of Vintage Beatles Slides 

Thanks to a partnership between Globe and OneOf, fans of The Beatles have a chance to own a piece of history by snapping up a 1-of-1 digital slide of the famous band taken back in 1966.

These 40 slides were discovered in an old filing cabinet last year and have never seen the light of day. 

Here's What We Know: 

• Thanks to Globe and OneOf, 40 previously undiscovered vintage slides of The Beatles are up for grabs.

• Each slide from the RETNA and London Features International Archives comes with a digital certificate of authenticity (DCOA) stored on the Tezos distributed ledger used by OneOf.

• The slides have an NFC tag on the acrylic frame, which fans can scan with smartphones.

• Scanning the NFC tag reveals the digital certificate of authenticity on the user's default web browser.

Judge Rules NBA Top Shot NFTs as Securities

At Dapper Labs' recent lawsuit, a judge has ruled that NBA Top Shot non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are — at least to a certain degree — considered securities. 

Here's What We Know: 

• A lawsuit was filed against Top Shot creator Dapper Labs alleging NBA Top Shot NFT moments are unregistered securities.

• Judge Victor Marrero denies Dapper's request to dismiss the suit, stating that NBA Top Shot NFTs meet security requirements under the Howey Test.

• Dapper Labs defends its position, citing previous court rulings on art and collectibles not being classified as securities under federal law.

• The judge suggests the Flow blockchain, which powers Top Shot, is a "private" network, potentially indicating further support for the plaintiff's claims.

• The ruling cites Dapper's control over the NBA Top Shot platform, underlying IP, and statements regarding the market value and user demand.
