Swinging in the backyard. EA Sports, makers of video games like FIFA and Madden with hundreds of millions of players around the world, announced a partnership with Nike’s .SWOOSH platform this week. Details are scant, hype is big and hopes are high that mainstream gaming integrations could be the holy grail use-case that the industry desperately needs right now. Just don’t call them NFTs.
Regulatory Rizz. Hong Kong and UAE are working together to create friendly regulatory frameworks for crypto, shared across the two regions. Wen Boys Club HK?! In US news, a big ole’ 162-page crypto regulation proposal was dropped on Friday night. It’s not perfect, but many agree it’s a solid effort. Proposed by Republicans, it will require cross-aisle support to pass. Lots of chat on creating pathways for registration and compliance, allowing crypto assets on trading platforms, defining decentralized networks, airdrops and more. Read this thread for the TLDR.
sad. Huge Atomic Wallet hack reported. $35M counted as stolen so far, though this is a developing story.
