Proof of pasta 🍝

Major moves from our friends @Claynosaurz! 🦖 David Horvath, the mind behind the beloved UglyDoll brand, is stepping in as the head of brand management and consumer product growth for Asia! David has scaled big brands and has a proven track record on Asian markets like Japan and Korea, with past collabs with giants like Sony, Coca-Cola Japan, Hasbro and more! Rawr

Took me a while but... Forever banner secured. This is, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful @KazeCreations banner in existence. Horizon, Torii Gate, Sakura, Moonlight, Azuki coded. Magic. And now it's mine. Props to @V1Zhual for the deal. New banner who dis?!

What @Azuki is doing - no one else is or ever was, in Web3 or out of it. We’re talking about penetrating into one of the fastest-growing industries in the world with lightning speed and surgical precision. Grabbing the biggest names (ex-Akira, for example, for the next ep), collaborating with the largest platforms (Crunchyroll), creating a whole studio and social/infometrics platform, among others. That doesn’t mean the Web3 spirit and motion are neglected. You simply can’t build to make meaningful progress in something like Anime and simultaneously be able to cater to week-long narratives in this space. Does that mean Azuki can’t do Web3 activations? Heck no. When NFTs were big, Azuki launched and ran to 30 ETH - one of the most explosive moves ever. When NFT tokens were big, Azuki launched Animecoin and Azuki ran to 15+ ETH. Keep that in mind when you compare it to projects with upcoming coins running 2 or 3 eth upwards. You buy into Azuki because you want to be a part of everything. To have that front seat to a venture like no other. Be part of the best community in Web3. And because you know that when the real metas happen, there’s a crypto native team ready to channel the full power of their brand to make sure their long-term supporters eat. Some of the playbooks you see now were run by Azuki long ago. And the ones you can’t yet fathom will probably be invented by Azuki again. Azuki will always have a sit at the core of the NFT table. Every time markets neglect it they are simply lagging. You just don’t buy into Azuki to expect weekly pivots to chase the flavor of the day because that’s not what professionals do. Simple as that ⛩️

If you genuinely care about the NFT space, you should be cheering for @ChimpersHQ, holder or not. Chimpers succeeding means that success is possible for projects that: • Do good things for the space • Uplift the vibes every time • Focus on being decent instead of generating drama • Are run by legit good people that care • Focus on more than just making money and creating speculative hype It means there’s room and market for projects to thrive beyond mere instantaneous financial gratification. A space where that stops being true isn’t a space I want to be in. As I said before, few are as deserving of what’s coming their way. Chimpers represent everything good about this place. Relentless builders who will go to unseen heights. We are blessed to be early. !chimp on 🐒

I want to see NFTs pumping because they’re cool and the teams are doing dope shit around them and people want to be a part of it. Not because there’s a coin coming. Non fungible

We love to see it (!chimps in underexposure)

This was by far the highest week of NFT volumes in 2025 (not over yet) Only 1 higher peak YTD, in December 2024. One can say things might be warming up for our non-fungible assets. If the trend proves to be sustainable this time, things will get fun.

I will literally say yes at every single chance of a hot pot 🍲

Summer vacay with the fam officially started ☀️ Will be trying as best as possible to disconnect from the screens (let’s see) Take it as a bullish market indicator. If it works, I’ll go on another week again. Do not dump my bags.
