KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Footiverse, a football fantasy league metaverse, has recently marked its entry into the NFT space with the launch of the FootiverseNFT collection on new year’s eve. A utility-driven NFT, Footiverse seeks to create a sustainable NFT ecosystem driven by the continuous addition of features and practical perks, rather than solely through hype alone. In furthering this mission, Footiverse aims to launch its Game-fi (the intersection of gaming and finance in an environment driven by use of blockchain and NFTs) platform in Q3 of 2023.
A digital asset that lives on a blockchain, NFTs are popular for their uniqueness and community-empowering nature. While incentivisation and popularity can greatly increase the value of hype-driven NFTs, this also means that they generally have an extremely short lifespan in comparison to their web 2.0 counterparts — because they run on the unsustainable resource of hype. The emphasis of hype in marketing and value creates a void in thought given to the long term planning in building a thriving NFT ecosystem and community.
For instance, while the average holding period for NFTs increased from 30.9 days to 47.9 days between Q1 and Q2 2022 — this is still a relatively low period when compared to more traditional investments such as stocks that have an average holding period of 5.5 months. Footiverse aims to reach holding parity and redefine NFTs as a long-term investment by making their value less reliant on hype cycles and market fluctuations.
“Footiverse’s main strategy to maximise user engagement is through gamifying NFTs. Web 3 gaming opens up new opportunities with play-to-earn systems to further incentivise user activity. However, many Web 3 games use predatory practices such as locking rewards and progression behind hours and hours of playing to produce artificial activity and demand. To counter this, Footiverse instead focuses the bulk of its utility and value to be generated passively with simple, interactive systems which will not require daily input from the users,” said Alvin Leong, Co-Founder of Footiverse.
One feature that allows users to earn passive rewards is the Footiverse Dream Coach, where participants can also accumulate points based on the performances of the players in their dream team. These points are calculated based on individual players’ stats in each game — such as the number of goals scored, assists made, passes completed, and more, with the final scores tabulated and updated weekly, as summarised below;
Participants compete with their team in leagues to win prizes, or compete in the Footiverse fantasy league.
Participants complete a set of players for extra bonuses or trade with others to complete sets or build teams.
Earn royalties from being the first to own a NFT or from creating an NFT.
There will be two royalty systems that reward players for engaging productively with the market. The first stream rewards users for being the first owner of a player card and giving them royalty rights to all subsequent transactions. The second stream allows users to generate their own NFTs which can then be sold and traded with all transactions earning the original creator royalties with Premium NFT sales beginning on the 18th of January 2023.
Also available as an alternative stream of investment for participants are Footi Tokens. Footi tokens, just like its NFT counterpart, is a utility driven crypto. The token sales will begin on the 28th of January, while the initial decentralised exchange (DEX) offering initial dex offering (IDO) will be taking place on 8th February 2023. These tokens provide a simple streamlined experience for users, serving as both an in-game currency and a practical crypto which can be used for external purchases. This removes the hassle of swapping and finding buyers for in-game currency and lets users instantly conduct crypto to fiat conversion at a moment’s notice, as summarised below;
Pay for gas fees
Make in-game and in-world purchases
Spend across multiple platforms (licensed gaming networks)
Conduct crypto to fiat conversions (Savvixpay)
Conduct Web 3.0 commerce or convert pre-existing Web 2 businesses to Web 3
Participate in decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) voting

2022 was a miserable one for investors, right? For most that’s probably true but most definitely not for Ken Griffin. The billionaire not only beat the market by a huge margin and outpaced his fellow billionaire colleagues, he did so at record-breaking levels. Per LCH investment data, Griffin’s hedge fund Citadel raked in profits of $16 billion – the most ever seen on Wall Street – whilst delivering for investors returns of 38% from its main hedge fund. Considering that performance, for investor
Billionaire venture capitalist Mark Cuban has founded or invested early in hundreds of startup companies over the years. But only one of them, founded in January 2022, bears his name.

Microsoft reported better earnings per share than Wall Street expected, but it's cloud business continues to slow.
In a company-wide meeting on Monday, Pichai announced that senior executives would take a "very significant" pay cut, according to reports.
Its shares plummeted as inflation, rising interest rates, and other macro headwinds caused its lending partners (banks, credit unions, and auto dealerships) to provide fewer loans. At the same time, rising interest rates caused consumers to take out fewer loans. Last February, Upstart launched a $400 million buyback plan.
Tax season is starting for all Americans — but the tax code’s provisions play out very differently for white families compared to families of color, new research says. The tax benefits from some of the most advantageous parts of the federal income-tax code accrue disproportionately to white families, according to Treasury Department findings that show the broader implications of dry tax rules. White families are pulling in more than 90% of the tax benefits that come from lower tax rates for capital gains, more than 90% of the tax benefits from itemized charitable deductions and 90% of the deduction attached to qualified business income — all while representing an estimated 67% of families, researchers said.

Energy stocks can be a great place in the market to find dividends that you can hold forever. Energy companies are often less speculative than growth stocks, and are built to generate consistent returns on investments over time. Here a look at why I love Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) and TotalEnergies (NYSE: TTE) and their 5.9% and 4.6% respective dividends — and why Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) doesn't have a sustainable dividend to bet on.
