The Market Returns📈
The market is UP on NBA Top Shot. Through a series of very positive events and healthy conditions, buyers are returning to the platform and many premium moments have started to rise in value over the last week. But can these conditions sustain? We dive into what's causing the market surge and also look at the positive effects of the Cool Cats benefits announcement. Then we dive into the Vegas Summer League "kiosk", and what that could mean for the future of fan interactions with Top Shot. Hosted by LG Doucet.
