OpenSea tease $OCEAN token ๐ŸŒŠ

OpenSea have teased the launch of an upcoming token, with the speculative ticker $OCEAN.

The popular NFT marketplace revealed a new @openseafdn X account, tweeting "ocean enters the chat ๐ŸŒŠ" on December 20.

OpenSea have previously teased a major overhaul set to arrive before the end of 2025. In combination with this prospective token, OpenSea hopes to take the fight to rivals such as Blur and Magic Eden - both of which already have their own ecosystem tokens.

MetaMask launch U.S. card trial ๐Ÿ’ณ

After a successful UK trial, MetaMask and Mastercard have announced a limited U.S. trial for their joint crypto debit card.

MetaMask users based in the United States can now sign-up to take part in this trial, with the hope that an equally successful U.S. trial could see MetaMask Card expand to other territories in 2025 โ€“ or even see a full release.

MetaMask Card allows its holders to spend their cryptocurrency anywhere in which Mastercard is accepted. This boosts the ability for popular cryptocurrencies โ€“ such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana โ€“ to become a true alternative to fiat currencies, opening the path to smooth, secure and efficient everyday use cases.

9dcc mint out Black Box NFTs in 45s ๐Ÿ‘€

Web3 lifestyle platform 9dcc has minted out its Black Box NFT collection in just 45 seconds, generating huge excitement for this unique release.

Priced at 0.069 ETH each, this 2,750-piece NFT collection โ€“ minted on Base โ€“ gives its holders a host of benefits. These include exclusive merch, tokens, eligibility for OpenSea XP and much more, with the biggest draw being that one lucky Black Box will contain a CryptoPunks NFT.

Since the release, 9dcc have also launched a Daily Spin feature, allowing anyone in Web3 to earn a host of rewards, including network points and a slim chance of winning a 9dcc Black Box NFT.
