This month, Kadena co-founder Stuart Popejoy said, with Kadena NFTs, it would be possible not only to mint non fungible tokens but also entire marketplaces.
If only NFTs were truly exchange-independent … but that would require a standard that can specify not just royalties but minting, burning, sale, transfer. Oh wait @kadena_io NFTs do just that. Soon you’ll be able not just mint NFTs but entire marketplaces — only on Kadena https://t.co/Fq502CiU6f

Loopring (LRC): The token of the Ethereum Layer protocol designed for building decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges rose 127.38% over the week.
Momentum in LRC was driven by a possible partnership deal with GameStop Corporation (NYSE:GME) and high retail investor interest, which remained intact at press time.
Higher gas or transaction fees on Ethereum’s network also spurred interest in Loopring. The project underscored that facet on Sunday by posting a tutorial to their new web app which enables users to trade, swap, or provide liquidity to automated market makers.
