Huobi & NFTs

Huobi launched an investment arm worth $100 Million to spend on creating a space dedicated to the raging trend of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT). The project launch was announced in May by the Huobi Group. The investment arm was created to diversify the trade and exchange platform’s market and expand into more digital assets trading. 

Huobi’s latest fund is expected to acquire blockchain companies that can coherently be merged into Huobi’s current trade and exchange ventures and make early-stage NFT venture capital investments. This included $10 million that would solely be for investing in NFTs and marketplaces that trade them.

“What we see in the market today is only a fraction of what’s possible with NFTs,” Huobi Group CFO, Lily Zhang who will head up the new Huobi Ventures unit, told Reuters.

Last month, iBox, an upcoming NFT platform was incubated by Huobi X Center to bring premium NFTs to Asia. iBox services had been made available on the Huobi ECO Chain (HECO), an EVM-compatible blockchain that provides developers with an efficient and low-cost on-chain environment for decentralized applications (dApps), smart contacts, and digital assets.

“We plan on integrating iBox with several public chains in the future while still ensuring secure, low-fee transactions,” said Leo Qin, the head of iBox.

Thread of NFT leaks

The innovative digital sphere of NFTs is getting called out for being unsuccessful at keeping digital artwork safe from the intellectual property crimes like plagiarism and copyright fraud. Yesterday, plagiarists leaked Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) on OpenSea of a picture whose copyright belonged to Caixin and reporter Dinggang. 

OpenSea is another platform for trade and exchange of rare digital items and cyber OpenSea collectibles. It seems that recently, Plagiarism scams have increased in the NFT market sphere, unveiling series of fraudulent activities and tension amongst the NFT community.

The River Plate Machine
Digital illustration for the cover of These Football Times magazine in its issue dedicated to the Argentine football team "Club Atlético River Plate". Original from 2020. For this cover I have created a complex machine that links all the generations and legends of the club with its great shield and emblem crowning the center as the heart of the fantasy machinery. Full of details and ornaments this is a highly detailed work. An authentic trip to the history of River through the imagination and the colors of the club. The most significant titles of the club are also included, such as the Libertadores Cup, the famous Intercontinental and the new Super Liga and the Argentine Cup in its newest cup design. If you see a hen, don't be surprised, it is the nickname that its fans give themselves, and they like it. ----- https://javierarres.com/about.html
Block Chain Dungeon
Once upon a time... a little boy named Leo loved to paint, draw and experiment. He also loved to play with blocks and chains, which drew him again and again into the rooms of his friends Michel and Angelo. Often they also met in virtual rooms of Cryptovoxels, Decentraland, Somnium Space or Sandbox to create new inventions, read books about new technologies, or just swing the brushes. But on this day something gigantic happened. A good friend of Leo came to visit and brought his girlfriend Mona, who wanted a piece of Leo's art on her skin. This was the birth of the NFT's, as Leo developed Non Fungible Tattoos in the Block Chain Dungeon of Michel and Angelo. From that day on people from all over the world came to get NFT's from Leo or one of his students, like "Skeenee the rat", who controls the NFT machine with his laptop. A new age began.
Finite.
