Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs, virtual worlds, & collectibles


Dear Bankless Nation, 

Valentine’s Day is coming up on Monday 💕 

Is an NFT part of the goodies you’re getting that special someone in your life this year? Probably not just yet, not unless your significant other is already really into NFTs too, right. 

Either way’s perfectly fine. Though it’s safe to say that as the NFT ecosystem matures, NFTs will become more popular as gifts on special occasions and beyond. 

Peoples’ lives are going increasingly digital, after all, so our gift-giving customs will increasingly reflect that. In the meantime, have a great weekend and thanks as always for reading!

-WMP
