Getgems, the NFT marketplace, is doubling down on its commitment to NFTs. They believe that Telegram will play a significant role in driving adoption of this asset class by 2025.

Even though NFT volumes and sales dropped sharply in 2024, the team at Getgems remains hopeful. They see Telegram's entry into Web3 as a big opportunity for NFTs.

The Getgems team mentioned that Telegram has a huge user base, which could really boost NFT adoption. They told Cointelegraph that while NFTs had their big moments in the past, they never connected with as many users as Telegram does.

Previous NFT collections, like Usernames and Anonymous Numbers, generated around $480 million in trading volume. This shows that there is real demand for Telegram NFTs, according to Getgems.

Meanwhile, users of OpenSea are not happy. They voiced their frustrations on X after the marketplace revealed the private beta of its new version. Many are concerned about who gets early access and how the upcoming token airdrop will work.

Those who accessed the new platform found out about a feature called "points." However, the new system does not give retroactive points to existing users. This means they have to start from scratch.

NFT trader Beanie criticized this move. He pointed out that it ignores the users who have contributed significantly to OpenSea's trading fees. Beanie even urged the community to aim for a zero valuation of OpenSea's token when it launches.

In another development, DraftKings has settled with the NFL Players Association (NFLPA). The NFLPA accused DraftKings of using NFL player likenesses in NFTs without permission.

In a joint letter to a federal judge in New York, the NFLPA and DraftKings announced they had mediated the dispute and reached a settlement. They requested a 60-day stay of the lawsuit, giving them until March 28 to finalize the details.

The NFLPA initially filed the lawsuit in August, seeking $65 million in damages. However, specific details about the settlement remain undisclosed.
