A Teen Race Driver is Using NFTs to Achieve her F1 Dream
Bianca Bustamante is a 17-year-old Filipina racer who is using NFTs to achieve her dreams and make history. In March, Bustamante secured a coveted spot on W Series’ Academy team where she’ll compete in eight FIA Formula 1 World Championship support races. She will be the first Filipina racer to drive in the all-women championship. This achievement brings Bustamante even closer to her goal of becoming a Formula 1 driver. However, it also comes with challenges — i.e. affording the costs associated with training and even basic needs. Enter the Dark Horse NFT project. Bustamante launched the NFT Access Pass to secure […]

Thus, according to the trademark attorney Mike Kondoudis’ tweet, Fender has submitted a series of trademark applications concerning its headstock shape in potential NFT products, including artworks, photographs, videos, and “audio recordings featuring music and musical instruments”. It’s noteworthy that this filing is already the second Fender’s attempt […]

And this, as far as the crypto/NFT space is concerned, isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s encouraged. Seen as an act of camaraderie within the NFT space, creating your online persona around a Bored Ape, CryptoPunk, Cool Cat, or other NFT PFP shows that you’re part of a movement — as well as a full-blown community. But with so many PFP projects out there, it can be […]
