The Nightly Mint: Daily NFT Recap

It was a quiet Tuesday for a fresh mint. Each weekday, we cover the daily dose of NFT action – and while today was a slower day, there’s still plenty of action to quickly recap. In sports NFTs, Candy Digital – the arguable leader within the world of baseball NFTs – is unrolling dynamic NFTs. Meanwhile, Crabada is blowing up on the Avalanche network, and one of the biggest financial credit and debit card providers and payment processors is filing new trademark applications around NFTs.

Let’s review it all in a bite-sized daily recap:

Latest Mint: Dynamic NFTs On Candy Digital

Dynamic NFTs have been largely under-the-radar, certainly amongst legacy projects that have become the biggest and brightest. Candy Digital, who carries a partnership with Major League Baseball, is working on dynamic NFTs according to reports today, kicking off with a series titled the ‘MLB ICON Leadoff.’ It could lead to the early iterations of fantasy sports intertwining with NFTs (though indirectly here, as fantasy sports have not been mentioned with this application), as Candy Digital will integrate player performances from each game. It’s a major development for taking sports NFTs to the next level.
