The XRPL Punks collections also dubbed Xpunks was created as a homage to the already legendary non-fungible CryptoPunks collectibles. It is also one of the hottest NFT collections on the XRP Ledger.

After the application of the much-awaited XLS-20 amendment to the XRP Ledger this fall, Xpunks have traded a total of 1.78 million XRPs so far.

Another most-popular collection on the XRP ledger is a reference to the legendary NFT collection, the Bored Ape Yacht Club. Dubbed as the Bored Ape XRP Club, it ranks second after Xpunks, with a turnover of 866,533 XRP.

Ripple’s Push for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

Ripple is playing in the NFT space and has launched a $250 million Creator’s Fund to bring big NFT projects to the XRP Ledger. Earlier this month, Ripple partneredwith Ethereal Labs to bolster the Web3 ecosystem by bringing NFTs and crypto assets to the masses via the XRP Ledger, custom partnerships, and collaborations.

The goal behind this partnership is to boost Ripple’s NFT strategy and thus bring NFTs to a larger audience.

While Ripple continues to lock horns with the U.S. SEC over the securities battle for XRP, the company has continued to work on other aspects of its ecosystem. However, this ongoing legal battle with the SEC could be playing a spoilsport for Ripple as of now.

As we know, Ripple has been pitching its XRP solutions to banks for instant cross-border settlements worldwide. Banking giant JPMorgan which is actively working on blockchain solutions, however, chose MATIC and AAVE to settle USD to JPY forex transactions.

Upon this development, crypto influencer Lark Davisquestionedthe value proposition for XRP. CryptoLaw founder John Deaton responded to it stating that the fact the XRP continues to be in the top ten digital assets despite all odds speaks about its success. He also lashed out at Davis for undermining XRP just because JPMorgan chose other digital assets.

In another win, Australia’s biggest financial conglomerate CommBank, said that they would be usingRipple’s XRP Standardfor cross-border payments.

Who Is The Creator 2
The idea for this piece was borne out of a tweet of mine that caused a bit of a stir. I’d posted a link to a blog article I’d written a number of months previous titled ‘Who is the Creator’ discussing various types of creative collaborations and why I hire people to work on my animations. It generated a lot of debate around creation and attribution with the community split on whether it’s right or wrong for an artist to hire other professionals to help them realize their art projects. I decided to push the boundaries even further and see how the cryptoart community responded. What if I quite literally had nothing to do with the physical or digital elements of the work other than coming up with the concept and coordinating it? I decided there was one artist in the space who could add huge value to this idea on levels that none other could and so I gathered my courage and contacted the great JosĂ© Delbo to ask him if he’d be interested in a very unique collaboration. I explained to him that to make this piece ‘work’ he couldn't have any say in what I produced and moreover, he wouldn’t even be allowed to see the animation until it was dropped on MakersPlace. To my surprise, Mr Delbo agreed to my proposal. The animation tells the story of the creative process, which includes my roles as writer, director, and producer working with a team and making edits and changes ‘in real time’. The dialogue between myself and my ‘hired guns’ plays out in front of the viewer. The music written for the piece adds to the nostalgia of the comic book superhero theme but other elements such as the snapping and kicking of the pencil and the signing of my signature at the bottom incorporates further layers and challenges the viewer to ask important questions, such as, is the ‘Art’ the final animation (the creation) or is the ‘Art’ the concept/credit for the creation itself?
