📣 Square Enix is releasing a set of Final Fantasy 7 NFT trading cards
Square Enix has announced that it will be releasing a set of Final Fantasy VII trading cards that will include NFTs. The collection, which is called Final Fantasy VII Anniversary Art Museum: Digital Card Plus, consists of 207 cards. Each pack, which costs ¥440 ($3.30), contains six physical trading cards as well as one ‘digital exchange card’. This can then be redeemed for an NFT version of a card. NFTs are unique non-interchangeable units of data stored on a blockchain (a form of digital ledger), which effectively allow users to buy and sell digital products like in-game items or artwork. Much like the previously announced Digital Plus Edition action figure of Cloud Strife, which will also come with an NFT version of the figure, those who buy the cards and want to redeem their digital one will have to create an account with NFT platform Enjin and download their Enjin Wallet app. Square Enix notes that “there is no upper limit” to the number of NFT cards that can be redeemed.

Elon Musk, Emad Mostaque, Andrew Yang and several other leaders have called for a temporary pause on training systems exceeding the power GPT-4.
The petition states that the pause should be public and verifiable, and include all key actors. If such a pause cannot be enacted quickly, governments should step in and institute a moratorium.
According to the letter:
Humanity can enjoy a flourishing future with AI. Having succeeded in creating powerful AI systems, we can now enjoy an "AI summer" in which we reap the rewards, engineer these systems for the clear benefit of all, and give society a chance to adapt. Society has hit pause on other technologies with potentially catastrophic effects on society.

📣 Sony PSVR2 Headset Off to Slow Start as Metaverse Push Sputters
Sony Group Corp. is projected to sell fewer than 300,000 PlayStation VR2 headsets in its first weeks on the market, a slow start to the company’s efforts to take a leading role in the development of the metaverse. The Tokyo-based console maker is likely to sell around 270,000 units of the PSVR 2 between February 22nd and the end of March, according to estimates by research firm IDC. The headset is a fundamental part of Sony’s strategy to create a metaverse where people can do more than just play video games. But the conceptual 3D virtual environment that inspired Mark Zuckerberg to launch his company Meta Platforms Inc. has yet to pay off the industry’s heavy investment in hardware and software. Sony President and CEO Kenichiro Yoshida made the Metaverse a growth tentpole for Sony, as has Meta, and the company’s in-house game studio to help rapidly introduce new headsets that are VR-compliant. Developing games. has not come true. “VR headsets are not top of mind for most consumers under the current economic climate.”

🔫 Disney Reportedly Axing Metaverse Division Amidst Company Restructuring
The metaverse division of Disney has apparently fallen victim to the latest round of layoffs announced by the company. Per reports from the Wall Street Journal citing people “familiar with the situation,” the whole next-generation storytelling and consumer-experience unit, comprised of 50 people, has been axed — this being part of the 7,000 layoffs. Disney, the well-known entertainment behemoth, seems to have lost interest in the metaverse. According to reports coming from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the metaverse unit of the company was wholly disintegrated in the latest round of layoffs that CEO Bob Iger announced on March 27. Disney’s headcount by 7,000, aiming to cut costs by $5.5 billion.

Bored Ape metaverse land sales dominance threatened by (what appears to be) wash trading
Sales for Bored Ape’s Otherdeed metaverse land NFTs — easily the hottest virtual property brand around — have been booming during the first quarter of this year, closing in on $120 million in volume. The rise in the collection's trading volume means Otherdeed tokens rank as the second-best-selling NFT collection during the first quarter of this year.
Wash trading is when assets are traded between wallets owned by the same individual or company.This month, however, sales volumes for a lesser-known collection, also tied to a nascent metaverse platform called MG Lands, have been holding their own; even outpacing Otherdeeds’ sales at one point. However, it appears MG Lands’ rapid ascendance from relative obscurity might be, instead of a feel-good business story, another case of artificial “wash” trading.

📣 Ethereum Staking Provider Lido to Incorporate NFTs Into Unstaking Process
Lido, the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol by total value locked, unveiled plans during its Node Operator Community Call #5 to release a non-fungible token (NFT) representing a user’s withdrawal request amount as part of the process of unstaking their ether (ETH). These withdrawals will be enabled after the Ethereum blockchain undergoes its next major upgrade. Ether withdrawals on Lido, where users can unstake their stETH and receive ETH at a 1:1 ratio, will have two steps: request and claim, according to Mariya Muzyko, product manager at Lido, during the call Tuesday afternoon. Once a user requests a withdrawal, they will receive a Lido-issued NFT representing their withdrawal request. The user can then use the NFT to claim their ETH rewards. The NFT is burned after the user redeems and claims their ETH. Lido was the first to provide access to liquidity to ETH holders who wanted to stake their tokens by issuing a derivative token, stETH.
