Latest Mint: NFTs on Instagram
Yesterday’s Mint opened the door to the flood of NFT and crypto-related activations, panels, and content that was present in Austin, Texas during the annual SXSW media and culture festival.
Feel free to double down for another dose on Tuesday, as Mark Zuckerberg stated at the festival that Instagram is “working to bring NFT to Instagram in the short term,” according to an early report from Engadget. Without skimping on many details, Zuckerberg added that the platform is looking at “over the next couple of months, the ability to incorporate some of its NFTs, hopefully, over time, it’ll be able to mint things within that environment.”

The take ‘Minty Fresh’
An IRL airdrop combined with a good cause? Now that is a refreshing take.

100% of the proceeds from the sale of each of Curry’s NFTs goes to his foundation, Eat. Learn. Play.
