Tokenize Your Tokenized Digital Assets With Metatokens
Lendroid is introducing a new layer of tokenization to the world of non-fungible tokens by allowing token-holders to tokenize their NFTs. Through these so-called metatokens the owner of an asset can give another user limited access to change for example a layer in a piece of art or temporarily access to a virtual location. Metatokens allow a token-holder to tokenize one attribute of digital assets, and then create transferable NFTs out of it. ▶▶▶ Read more
Marvel Games Stepping into Blockchain
Joy Ong from Marvel Games is joining the Wax Advisory Council, and at the same time Wax will create non-fungible tokens for the Marvel Games team. However, it's unclear whether these digital collectibles will be released to the public. Considering the partnership with trading card company Topps, we would expect Wax to create something similar with Marvel. Potentially there could be collectible cards based on movie releases or new comic books. However, Wax will make the NFTs for the Marvel Games team, which could mean they're for in-house use only. ▶▶▶ Read more

Paypal could very soon embrace cryptocurrencies according to an article by Coindesk. This move could benefit blockchain gaming in a big way. Having Paypal as a payment option inside blockchain gaming apps, would make user acquisition much easier. Not only is Paypal already being used by millions of gamers worldwide, it's also connected to a creditcard or bank account. As a result buying crypto, tokens or in-game assets would become a much smoother experience. ▶▶▶ Read more
