In the midst of the crypto winter, NFTs are finding their way into legacy positions and companies are placing more bets on a bright future. Here’s how 👇

$549.82 million in NFT sales took place in September, which shows that monthly NFT sales are more than 88% lower than they were in January. Furthermore, after the search term “NFT” reached the highest score on Google Trends last January, tapping a score of 100, the last week of September’s score was 12, which is also 88% lower in terms of interest.

Some pricey NFT collections, such as Fidenza and Autoglyphs, have retained much of their value. However, these seem to be exceptions to the rule. Other collections are way down from their all-time highs, including the historic CryptoPunks — the first NFT avatar collection — and the Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Some NFT collections like Meebits have crashed in value but occasionally still receive pricey bids. Indeed, earlier this week, one of the most expensive Meebits ever, which sold in May last year for 700 ETH (more than $2.5 million), saw a bid of 98.65 ETH or just over $126,446.

University Of Michigan becomes the first to open NFT gallery

In an exciting move, the University of Michigan is the first university to showcase an NFT gallery. The University has teamed up with Graduate Ann Arbor and MORE Management to launch a sports-inspired NFT gallery called “Victors NFT”.

The NFT gallery is a display of NFTs across six digital screens. These screens will feature BAYC, and art created by athletes from the University of Michigan. Current Michigan sports stars Zak Zinter, Cade McNamara and Mazi Smith are some of the athletes who participated in the project. Furthermore, legendary football quarterback Tom Brady is also a supporter.

Importantly, this University of Michigan-approved NFT gallery will allow student-athletes the opportunity to generate income from these NFTs. Undoubtedly, this will further support their studies and career.

Meta to bring Microsoft Office 365 apps into the metaverse

Meta has teamed up with Microsoft to bring Office 365 apps to the metaverse in a bid to advance the usability of its virtual reality platform.

The partnership was revealed during Meta’s Connect 2022 keynote on Oct 11 when Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that its Mesh for Microsoft Teams mixed reality overlay will integrate with Meta’s Quest and Quest Pro VR headset. In addition, Microsoft 365 apps will also be available on Meta Quest devices.

“We’re bringing the Microsoft Teams’ immersive meeting experience to Meta Quest in order to give people new ways to connect with each other. Now, you can connect, share and collaborate as though you are together in person,” Nadella said. “As in-person work ramps up, we want everyone to have the ability to feel like they’re present,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg added.

Meta’s integration with Microsoft Teams will also allow users to join “immersive” meetings in Horizon Workrooms. Zuckerberg also teased a new feature called “magic rooms,” designed for hybrid teams where some are working remotely while others are present in the office. Magic rooms allow teams to work in mixed reality rather than solely in VR.
