Forget the rumor mill, we’re here for the mint mill. South By
Southwest (SXSW) is the latest festival to be host to an abundance
of NFTs. Disney and Dapper Labs found themselves in the same
sentence with rumors floating left and right over the weekend, and
an announcement that followed today. And in other news,
Solana-based marketplace Magic Eden closed a Series A funding
round, collecting $27M in the process. It’s a few of the biggest
stories in NFTs from Monday, March 14. Let’s dive in. The Nightly

NFTs, and NFTs have managed to make a splash at SXSW in recent
days. Doodles were ever-present, and even traditional brands were
releasing NFTs at the festival this year. Digital characters,
crypto-focused panels, and blockchain-related interactive
experiences all made their way to the festival. Related Reading |
