Let’s face it: the NFT space is moving very fast. Considering how quickly things change in the Metaverse, a week in an NFT could be equivalent to a month IRL. Don’t get us wrong – the more people that join the space, the happier it will be. But with the constant influx of great art and ideas, it’s getting harder and harder to keep up with all the news, releases and general happenings. Well, you can leave your days of endless Twitter and Discord scrolling behind you, because we’ve put together a weekly list of upcoming NFTs that you definitely don’t want to miss. Here’s what to watch out for this week.
