“Some of the biggest Web3 games in the world are being built on Immutable X, with more being announced soon. Immutable X is a leading layer 2 Ethereum scaling solution coming soon to the GameStop NFT marketplace,” GameStop’s website reads.

The company said Immutable X offers 100% gas-free and carbon-neutral minting and trading of NFTs and will help GameStop offer access to “millions of world-class gaming assets.”

Along with a list of gaming-related NFTs, an image of upcoming NFTs to be added to the GameStop NFT marketplace also includesVeeFriends, the popular NFT collection fromGary Veethatincludesmore than60,000 NFTs across two series.

VeeFriends Series 1 ranks 11th in all-time sales volume for NFTs with $554.3 million in sales, according to data fromCryptoSlam. VeeFriends Series 2 ranks 73rd with sales volume of $75.9 million.

VeeFriendstweetedin February that Immutable and GameStop were “doing big things!”

Why It’s Important:With $3.5 million in sales volume on the GameStop NFT marketplace in its first two days, the companypassedthe all-time sales volume of the Coinbase NFT marketplace fromCoinbase Global Inc. The Coinbase NFT marketplace publicly launched in May.

Research from GameStop blog Gmedd shows the GameStop NFT marketplace saw volume pass $4 million in its first three days.

The GameStop marketplace launched with more than200 collections and over 50,000 NFTs available on its platform.

The additional gaming-related NFTs could help GameStop distance itself in the NFT marketplace space, which is dominated by OpenSea.The video game industry is one sector that is expected to benefit from NFTs and GameStop’s past experience and relationships in the sector could help it become a go-to for gaming NFTs in the future.

The addition of VeeFriends could give GameStop some name recognition from one of the most popular NFT collectionsand see public support from VeeFriends founderGary Vee.

GME Price Action: GameStop shares are down1.18% to $40.410on Thursday afternoon.

Symptom
Symptom --- Vhils Work with Explosives First explored to further emphasize his destructive approach to creation, Vhils' work with explosives should be seen as a natural progression from his original bas-relief carving technique used on walls. According to Vhils, walls retain within their layers something of the history and essence of the city which can be symbolically exposed when he carves through them. By employing explosive charges to reveal these portraits and compositions, Vhils takes this concept to its logical conclusion. This original technique was first employed in 2010 for the Detritos (Detritus) series of art videos as a visual metaphor for the social and economic volatility brought on by the 2008 global financial crisis and especially today in the covid era of 2020. As such, both this and the subsequent series speak of how, at times of turmoil, the veneer of civilization we take for granted can easily explode and bring forth previously tamed expressions of intolerance, extremism, and violence that simmer beneath the surface. As the entire process is not only eruptive but also fast and dramatic, its result can only be truly appreciated on video. Most of these have been shot using a high-speed digital camera which enables the artist to capture the moment at a very low speed that seems to almost freeze the flying debris, creating a slow-motion poetic intensity conducive to reflection.
Crypto Toy Coin
This piece represents the creation of a new "Visual Toy", a term created by me to encompass my unique and exclusive GIF-Arts. The latter, "Crypto Toy Coin" is the only and first in the cryptocurrency theme. In it I represent the fast-paced world of finance in the virtual environment, the Internet with its universe of colors and infinite visual impact, an optimistic and exciting future, a world of possibilities that opens before us. These "Visual Toys" invite you to imagine, that is their function, that is the game. The ultimate goal is that you imagine, that it is you who gives it meaning. There are no good or bad answers, just the projection of each one. I've only created the trigger, the piece where you can project your imagination and let it fly.
