Twitter Announces New Feature ‘NFT Tweet Tiles’

It’s a hectic and non-stop week for Twitter, as the social media platform counts down it’s final days as a publicly-traded company on the heels of the Elon Musk-led private acquisition. However, the platform’s development team is seemingly still full steam ahead, and has announced a new feature in testing around NFTs on Thursday.

Let’s take a look at the new feature addition and what it looks like for NFT enthusiasts.

Twitter’s ‘NFT Tiles’

The announcement came via through the platform’s official dev account, specifying that major NFT marketplaces and platforms, including Magic Eden, Rarible, Dapper Labs, and Jump.trade, would be utilized to start:

The small product tweak will likely be a nice aesthetic addition for those interested in NFTs at any level, and will allow some more versatility in the development and advertising of NFT platforms. However, as many users noted in the replies, it was interesting to see the largest NFT marketplace, OpenSea, not included on the list.

Elsewhere within the Twitter-sphere on Thursday, Elon Musk reportedly asked Tesla engineers to meet with Twitter product leaders to “review code,” and photos of Musk touring the Twitter headquarters in the Bay Area have been a hot topic on the platform.

Outside of the aforementioned product meeting with Tesla engineers, it’s been a wild week for Twitter. The platform will no longer be on the New York Stock Exchange tomorrow, and the ripple effects have been especially interesting; Musk’s closing has led to speculation (and subsequent volumes and price movement) around DOGE and SHIB, and rumors of a crypto wallet product from the social media platform entered the mix in recent days as well.

Elsewhere in the flurry of social media madness, Meta recorded a multi-billion dollar loss from their ‘Reality Labs’ division focused on VR, AR and metaverse initiatives. Reddit’s NFT-based ‘Collectible Avatars’ have found unexpected success. And Telegram announced a new venture with the TON Network to auction off username handles.

It’s been a rapid fire October for social networks with no slowing in sight; expect more headlines as the plot unfolds around Twitter’s new ownership evolution.

Do Kwon’s Detention Prolonged Until 2024 As Montenegro Responds To Extradition Requests

According to an International Business Times report , Montenegro’s Supreme Court decided to extend the detention of TerraForm Labs founder and CEO Do Kwon until February 2024, following extradition requests from the United States and South Korea. Closed-Door Discussions Reveal Montenegro’s Plan For Do Kwon Initially set to be extradited to the US on December 15, Do Kwon’s fate turned when the Montenegrin High Court ruled to prolong his stay until February 15, 2024. The decision stems from charges related to the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin, which led to significant financial losses. The High Court had previously ordered Kwon’s extradition by Friday, but his defense team appealed the decision in the appellate court in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. The Montenegrin Court of Appeal confirmed that Kwon contested the High Court’s ruling, vehemently stating, “I do not submit to the court’s decision.” Recent reports indicate that Montenegro’s Justice Minister, Andrej Mil

The trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and hedge fund Alameda Research, is set to commence in New York on Tuesday, October 3.  This comes almost a year after the collapse of both FTX and Alameda Research. The events leading up to the trial paint a picture of alleged fraudulent activities and money laundering that caused significant damage to the businesses involved. Ex-SEC Official’s Bleak Prediction As Sam Bankman-Fried Trial Commences In a nutshell, Alameda Research purportedly took customer deposits from FTX and invested them in fictitious crypto tokens, which derived their value from the confidence in FTX’s operations.  When this confidence waned, FTX and Alameda Research suffered substantial losses, which many argue contributed to a broader disillusionment in the cryptocurrency industry.  Following an investigation, federal authorities uncovered numerous alleged crimes, leading to seven federal fraud and money-laundering charges against B
