FBI Cautions Hadera Hashgraph Users Against NFT Airdrop ScamsScams and hacks involving cryptocurrencies and non-fungible token markets are indeed on the rise in 2025. These scams often target unsuspecting individuals, leading to financial losses. In most cases, scammers use various techniques, including impersonation, fake emails, phishing links, and “rug pulls”. In response to the rising scams, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has stepped up to help crypto users from becoming victims of scams. FBI Warn NFT Users Against NFT Airdrop Scams Earlier this week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a cautionary alert about a new scam where cybercriminals exploit non-fungible token airdrops on the Hedera Hashgraph network to steal crypto from cryptocurrency wallets. Hedera Hashgraph is a public, distributed ledger technology platform that uses a unique data structure called a directed acyclic graph to achieve high-performance, secure, and fair consensus. Based on the FBI announcement, cyber criminals have been defrauding cryptocurrency and non-fungible token users through the non-fungible token airdrop feature embedded in non-custodial wallets, which is disguised as free rewards or incentives for Hedera. In the world of crypto, an airdrop is a marketing strategy where a crypto project distributes its native tokens or NFT coins to users, usually for free, to generate awareness and encourage participation. In the attacks targeting crypto wallets on the Hedera Hashgraph network, the cybercriminals send unsolicited NFTs or tokens to users’ wallets with memos prompting users to click on a URL to claim their reward. Once users click the link, the fraudsters take victims to phishing sites or dApps that ask them to input sensitive information like account passwords and wallet recovery seed phrases. The attackers can then use this sensitive information to hijack the victim’s wallets and empty them. How Can Users Protect Themselves? To protect themselves from NFT-related scams, the FBI advises them to be wary of unsolicited links, always verify website URLs before logging in, and enable two-factor authentication. Moreover, the agency urges them to conduct research on NFT projects, stick to established marketplaces, and stay informed about the latest trends and developments. During the NFT mint or claim, user should never share their passwords, seed phrases, or one-time passwords, unless they initiate contact. Finally, crypto users are advised to regularly monitor their cryptocurrency wallet accounts to detect any signs of unauthorized activities or transactions and suspicious login attempts. Lazarus Group, a renowned hacking group associated with the North Korean government with a long history of targeting companies and individuals within the crypto and non-fungible token ecosystems, is one of the scamming and hacking groups to watch vigilantly in 2025.

Corporate Bitcoin Buying Binge Could Trigger Crash If BTC Slumps Below $90K, Standard Chartered SaysA recent wave of corporate Bitcoin buying could trigger a crash if a drop below $90K sparks panic selling, Standard Chartered warned. “Bitcoin treasuries are adding to Bitcoin buying pressure for now, but we see a risk that this may reverse over time,” said Geoff Kendrick, head of FX and crypto research at the bank. Corporate Bitcoin holders have doubled in the past two months, with total holdings nearing 100,000 BTC, Kendrick said. But unlike early adopters like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), most of these firms bought in at or near $100,000, he added. If BTC drops to $90,000, roughly half of those companies would be underwater, raising the risk of a cascade of panic selling that could trigger a crash, he said. If Bitcoin drops 22% below the firms’ average buy-in price, Kendrick said the corporate buyers will likely be forced to sell. Struggling Dollar Could Boost BTC Appeal Not everyone is bearish on the recent corporate BTC buying spree. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz says Bitcoin’s price weakness is temporary and sees it surging to up to $150k soon, while billionaire investor Tim Draper reiterated that he sees Bitcoin hitting $250k this year.  According to BTC-centric firm Swan, the increase in institutional interest is part of a broader seismic shift in the global financial market.  In a June 4 thread on X, the company said that BTC is deviating from its usual 4-year cycle as a “massive shift” plays out under the surface. The company noted that “a rare and dangerous split is unfolding” as the US dollar weakens while bond yields surge, warning that this is a “major red flag for global capital.” As Bitcoin rotates into stronger hands, the macro backdrop is flashing warnings.

National Holidays Propel Macau to Post-Pandemic Gaming Revenue High in May 2025Macau’s gaming industry has achieved its strongest monthly performance since the COVID-19 pandemic began, with gross gaming revenue (GGR) reaching MOP21.19 billion ($2.62 billion) in May 2025. This remarkable figure represents a 5% year-on-year increase and surpasses the previous post-pandemic peak of MOP20.79 billion set in October 2024, driven primarily by a massive surge in visitors during China’s Labour Day Golden Week holiday period. The milestone achievement signals a robust recovery for the world’s largest gambling hub, demonstrating the resilience of Macau’s gaming sector amid ongoing economic uncertainties and regulatory challenges. The strong performance has prompted analysts to revise their forecasts upward and has renewed optimism about the territory’s ability to sustain its recovery momentum throughout 2025. Key Takeaways Record Performance: Macau’s May 2025 GGR of MOP21.19 billion ($2.62 billion) marks the highest monthly total since the pandemic began, representing a 12.4% month-on-month increase. Golden Week Impact: The May 1-5 Labour Day holiday period saw 850,000 visitors flood Macau, a 40% year-on-year increase, with daily GGR exceeding MOP1 billion. Mass Market Dominance: Non-VIP gaming contributed 75% of total revenue (MOP15.89 billion), continuing the post-pandemic trend favoring mass market players. Pre-Pandemic Progress: May’s revenue reached 81.7% of May 2019 levels, the closest Macau has come to full recovery. VIP Revival Signs: High-roller activity showed encouraging growth with turnover increasing 25-30% and win rates improving to 3.5-3.7%. Analyst Optimism: Major investment banks raised their forecasts, with some calling it “the biggest beat in years.” Year-to-Date Growth: January-May 2025 GGR totaled MOP97.71 billion, up 1.7% year-on-year despite remaining 23% below 2019 levels. Labour Day Golden Week: The Catalyst for Record Performance The exceptional performance in May was primarily driven by China’s Labour Day Golden Week holiday period from May 1-5, which proved to be a watershed moment for Macau’s tourism and gaming recovery. Visitor Surge and Demographics The holiday period attracted 850,000 visitors to Macau, representing a remarkable 40% year-on-year increase and demonstrating the pent-up demand for travel and entertainment among Chinese tourists. Key demographic trends included: Mainland Chinese Dominance: Mainland Chinese travelers accounted for approximately 80% of all arrivals, reflecting the continued importance of this core market for Macau’s recovery. Improved Access: Eased visa policies and expanded airlift capacity between major Chinese cities and Macau facilitated the visitor surge. Extended Stays: Average length of stay increased compared to previous holiday periods, contributing to higher per-visitor spending. Diverse Visitor Profile: The influx included both traditional gamblers and leisure tourists attracted by Macau’s expanding non-gaming offerings. Daily Gaming Revenue Surge During the Golden Week period, daily gaming revenue consistently exceeded MOP1 billion ($124 million), levels not seen since before the pandemic. This performance was particularly impressive given that it was achieved despite: Capacity restrictions at some properties due to ongoing health protocols Limited international visitor arrivals outside of mainland China A still-recovering VIP segment that traditionally drives higher revenue peaks Industry analysts noted that the sustained daily revenue levels throughout the five-day period, rather than just isolated peak days, suggested underlying strength in the recovery rather than temporary volatility. Premium Mass Segment Leadership The premium mass segment emerged as the clear driver of the Golden Week success, with high-stakes non-VIP play surging 18% compared to the same period in 2024. This growth was facilitated by: Luxury Promotions: Integrated resorts including Galaxy Macau and Wynn Palace offered targeted promotions for affluent mainland Chinese visitors. Enhanced Amenities: Upgraded gaming floors and premium services attracted players who might have previously required VIP-level treatment. Diversified Entertainment: The combination of gaming with shopping, dining, and entertainment created comprehensive destination experiences. Mass Market Resilience and VIP Recovery Signs Macau’s May performance highlighted the continuing dominance of mass market gaming while also showing encouraging signs of VIP segment recovery. Mass Market Strength The mass market contributed MOP15.89 billion, or 75% of total gaming revenue, reinforcing this segment’s role as the foundation of Macau’s post-pandemic recovery: Broad-Based Appeal: Mass market gaming attracts a wider demographic range, providing more stable revenue streams than VIP-dependent models. Lower Volatility: Mass market revenue tends to be less susceptible to economic fluctuations and regulatory changes affecting high-net-worth individuals. Regulatory Alignment: The focus on mass market gaming aligns with government preferences for a more sustainable and socially responsible gaming industry. VIP Segment Recovery While still significantly below pre-pandemic levels, the VIP segment showed meaningful improvement in May: Turnover Growth: VIP turnover increased 25-30% compared to April, driven partly by the soft launch of Capella at Galaxy Macau. Improved Win Rates: Win rates rose to 3.5-3.7% from April’s 2.85%, closer to historical norms and indicating healthier gameplay patterns. New Property Impact: The opening of premium facilities like Capella demonstrated that luxury amenities continue to attract high-roller players. However, VIP revenue remains approximately 61% below 2019 levels, reflecting ongoing challenges including: Reduced travel from traditional VIP source markets outside mainland China Continued regulatory scrutiny of junket operations Economic pressures affecting high-net-worth individuals in China Analyst Reactions and Market Confidence The May performance prompted widespread analyst upgrades and positive revisions to full-year forecasts from major investment banks.

The exceptional results during Golden Week, combined with sustained performance throughout the month, suggest that underlying demand remains strong despite broader economic uncertainties. However, the industry’s future success will depend on maintaining this momentum while navigating ongoing regulatory requirements, seasonal variations, and macro-economic headwinds. The heavy reliance on holiday-driven tourism and the mass market’s dominant role, while providing stability, also highlights the need for continued diversification and sustainable growth strategies. As Macau prepares for October’s National Day Golden Week (traditionally the year’s strongest gaming period) operators and regulators alike remain cautiously optimistic about sustaining the recovery trajectory established in May. The achievement of 81.7% of pre-pandemic revenue levels suggests that full recovery, while not yet complete, is increasingly within reach. The key challenge will be building on this success while balancing growth with the government’s diversification mandates and the industry’s responsibility to maintain sustainable gaming practices. May’s performance has demonstrated that when conditions align (holiday periods, improved access, and strong consumer confidence) Macau’s gaming industry can still deliver exceptional results. The question now is whether this exceptional performance can evolve into sustained, long-term growth. References Gambling Insider.

National Holidays Propel Macau to Post-Pandemic Gaming Revenue High in May 2025

Macau’s gaming industry has achieved its strongest monthly performance since the COVID-19 pandemic began, with gross gaming revenue (GGR) reaching MOP21.19 billion ($2.62 billion) in May 2025. This remarkable figure represents a 5% year-on-year increase and surpasses the previous post-pandemic peak of MOP20.79 billion set in October 2024, driven primarily by a massive surge in visitors during China’s Labour Day Golden Week holiday period.

The milestone achievement signals a robust recovery for the world’s largest gambling hub, demonstrating the resilience of Macau’s gaming sector amid ongoing economic uncertainties and regulatory challenges. The strong performance has prompted analysts to revise their forecasts upward and has renewed optimism about the territory’s ability to sustain its recovery momentum throughout 2025.

Key Takeaways

Record Performance: Macau’s May 2025 GGR of MOP21.19 billion ($2.62 billion) marks the highest monthly total since the pandemic began, representing a 12.4% month-on-month increase.

Golden Week Impact: The May 1-5 Labour Day holiday period saw 850,000 visitors flood Macau, a 40% year-on-year increase, with daily GGR exceeding MOP1 billion.

Mass Market Dominance: Non-VIP gaming contributed 75% of total revenue (MOP15.89 billion), continuing the post-pandemic trend favoring mass market players.

Pre-Pandemic Progress: May’s revenue reached 81.7% of May 2019 levels, the closest Macau has come to full recovery.

VIP Revival Signs: High-roller activity showed encouraging growth with turnover increasing 25-30% and win rates improving to 3.5-3.7%.

Analyst Optimism: Major investment banks raised their forecasts, with some calling it “the biggest beat in years.”

Year-to-Date Growth: January-May 2025 GGR totaled MOP97.71 billion, up 1.7% year-on-year despite remaining 23% below 2019 levels.

Labour Day Golden Week: The Catalyst for Record Performance

The exceptional performance in May was primarily driven by China’s Labour Day Golden Week holiday period from May 1-5, which proved to be a watershed moment for Macau’s tourism and gaming recovery.

Visitor Surge and Demographics

The holiday period attracted 850,000 visitors to Macau, representing a remarkable 40% year-on-year increase and demonstrating the pent-up demand for travel and entertainment among Chinese tourists. Key demographic trends included:

Mainland Chinese Dominance: Mainland Chinese travelers accounted for approximately 80% of all arrivals, reflecting the continued importance of this core market for Macau’s recovery.

Improved Access: Eased visa policies and expanded airlift capacity between major Chinese cities and Macau facilitated the visitor surge.

Extended Stays: Average length of stay increased compared to previous holiday periods, contributing to higher per-visitor spending.

Diverse Visitor Profile: The influx included both traditional gamblers and leisure tourists attracted by Macau’s expanding non-gaming offerings.

Daily Gaming Revenue Surge

During the Golden Week period, daily gaming revenue consistently exceeded MOP1 billion ($124 million), levels not seen since before the pandemic. This performance was particularly impressive given that it was achieved despite:

Capacity restrictions at some properties due to ongoing health protocols

Limited international visitor arrivals outside of mainland China

A still-recovering VIP segment that traditionally drives higher revenue peaks

Industry analysts noted that the sustained daily revenue levels throughout the five-day period, rather than just isolated peak days, suggested underlying strength in the recovery rather than temporary volatility.

Premium Mass Segment Leadership

The premium mass segment emerged as the clear driver of the Golden Week success, with high-stakes non-VIP play surging 18% compared to the same period in 2024. This growth was facilitated by:

Luxury Promotions: Integrated resorts including Galaxy Macau and Wynn Palace offered targeted promotions for affluent mainland Chinese visitors.

Enhanced Amenities: Upgraded gaming floors and premium services attracted players who might have previously required VIP-level treatment.

Diversified Entertainment: The combination of gaming with shopping, dining, and entertainment created comprehensive destination experiences.

Mass Market Resilience and VIP Recovery Signs

Macau’s May performance highlighted the continuing dominance of mass market gaming while also showing encouraging signs of VIP segment recovery.

Mass Market Strength

The mass market contributed MOP15.89 billion, or 75% of total gaming revenue, reinforcing this segment’s role as the foundation of Macau’s post-pandemic recovery:

Broad-Based Appeal: Mass market gaming attracts a wider demographic range, providing more stable revenue streams than VIP-dependent models.

Lower Volatility: Mass market revenue tends to be less susceptible to economic fluctuations and regulatory changes affecting high-net-worth individuals.

Regulatory Alignment: The focus on mass market gaming aligns with government preferences for a more sustainable and socially responsible gaming industry.

VIP Segment Recovery

While still significantly below pre-pandemic levels, the VIP segment showed meaningful improvement in May:

Turnover Growth: VIP turnover increased 25-30% compared to April, driven partly by the soft launch of Capella at Galaxy Macau.

Improved Win Rates: Win rates rose to 3.5-3.7% from April’s 2.85%, closer to historical norms and indicating healthier gameplay patterns.

New Property Impact: The opening of premium facilities like Capella demonstrated that luxury amenities continue to attract high-roller players.

However, VIP revenue remains approximately 61% below 2019 levels, reflecting ongoing challenges including:

Reduced travel from traditional VIP source markets outside mainland China

Continued regulatory scrutiny of junket operations

Economic pressures affecting high-net-worth individuals in China

Analyst Reactions and Market Confidence

The May performance prompted widespread analyst upgrades and positive revisions to full-year forecasts from major investment banks.

Citigroup Analysis

Citigroup raised its May GGR estimate to MOP21.25 billion, citing “the biggest beat in years” during Golden Week. The bank’s analysts noted:

Daily revenue patterns during Golden Week exceeded their most optimistic scenarios

Sustained performance throughout the month, not just during holiday periods

Evidence of improving operational efficiency across major operators

J.P. Morgan Assessment

J.P. Morgan highlighted that daily GGR reached 90% of pre-pandemic levels despite minimal VIP recovery, calling it “among the strongest positive surprises since 2020.” Their analysis emphasized:

The resilience of mass market demand despite broader economic headwinds

Improved revenue per visitor metrics indicating enhanced operational effectiveness

Signs that Macau’s recovery could accelerate if broader economic conditions improve

Seaport Research Partners Perspective

Seaport Research Partners attributed the rebound to China’s economic stimulus measures, which bolstered consumer confidence among the upper-middle class demographic that drives much of Macau’s mass market gaming. They noted:

Correlation between Chinese government stimulus measures and Macau gaming performance

Evidence that domestic Chinese consumption patterns were supporting discretionary spending

Potential for sustained growth if economic support measures continue

Regulatory Environment and Compliance Challenges

Despite the strong performance, Macau’s gaming operators continue to navigate an evolving regulatory environment that presents both challenges and opportunities.

Non-Gaming Investment Mandates

Under current regulations, operators must allocate 2% of GGR to cultural and entertainment investments by Q3 2025. Based on May’s revenue levels, this requirement would divert approximately MOP424 million ($53 million) from traditional gaming operations into:

Cultural and entertainment facilities development

Community programs and local economic development initiatives

Tourism infrastructure improvements

Educational and cultural programming

While these mandates reduce short-term gaming revenue, they support the government’s broader strategy of positioning Macau as a diversified tourism destination rather than solely a gaming hub.

Ongoing Compliance Requirements

Operators continue to adapt to enhanced regulatory oversight including:

Enhanced Due Diligence: Stricter customer verification and anti-money laundering protocols

Responsible Gaming Measures: Expanded player protection programs and spending monitoring systems

Operational Transparency: Increased reporting requirements for both financial and operational metrics

Local Employment Targets: Requirements to employ local residents in key positions

Economic Headwinds and Risk Factors

While May’s performance was exceptional, several economic and operational factors could impact future performance.

Macro-Economic Challenges

U.S.-China Trade Tensions: Escalating trade disputes could affect Chinese consumer confidence and discretionary spending

Property Market Concerns: A sluggish Chinese property market may impact the wealth of potential gaming customers

Currency Fluctuations: Exchange rate volatility between the Chinese yuan and Hong Kong dollar could affect visitor spending patterns

Seasonal and Weather Risks

Analysts have warned that June revenue could face challenges including:

Typhoon Season: Potential weather disruptions could significantly impact visitor arrivals and gaming revenue

Post-Holiday Normalization: Natural decline in activity following the exceptional Golden Week performance

Competition from Other Destinations: Increased competition from other Asian gaming and tourism destinations

Industry forecasts suggest June revenue could dip 13.7% month-on-month due to these seasonal factors, though this would still represent healthy year-on-year growth.

2025 Outlook and Government Targets

The strong May performance has improved prospects for achieving full-year targets, though challenges remain.

Government Revenue Targets

The Macau government has set a 2025 GGR target of MOP240 billion ($29.9 billion), which requires an average monthly revenue of MOP20 billion. Key metrics include:

Current Average: January-May average of MOP19.54 billion per month

Required Acceleration: Need for continued strong performance in remaining months

Holiday Dependence: Significant reliance on Golden Week periods and other major holidays

S&P Global Ratings Forecast

S&P Global Ratings forecasts 5-6% annual GGR growth for 2025, driven by:

Mass Market Resilience: Continued strength in the non-VIP segment

Gradual VIP Recovery: Slow but steady improvement in high-roller activity

Infrastructure Improvements: Enhanced connectivity and facility upgrades

Diversification Benefits: Growing contribution from non-gaming revenue streams

However, the ratings agency notes that VIP revenue remains 61% below 2019 levels, indicating substantial room for further recovery if conditions permit.

Competitive Landscape and Property Performance

May’s strong performance benefited all major operators, though some properties showed particular strength.

Galaxy Entertainment Group

Galaxy Macau’s performance was bolstered by:

The soft launch of Capella at Galaxy Macau, which attracted premium customers

Successful Golden Week promotions targeting mainland Chinese visitors

Strong performance in both mass market and VIP segments

Wynn Resorts

Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau demonstrated:

Effective premium mass market positioning

Strong conversion rates from visitors to gaming customers

Successful integration of gaming with luxury amenities

Sands China

The company’s multiple properties showed:

Broad-based strength across different customer segments

Effective use of integrated resort amenities to drive gaming revenue

Strong performance in both Cotai and peninsula locations

Future Catalysts and Growth Drivers

Looking ahead, several factors could support continued recovery and growth:

Infrastructure Development

Bridge Connectivity: Continued benefits from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge improving access

Transportation Upgrades: Airport expansion and improved ferry services

Technology Integration: Enhanced digital services and cashless payment systems, with crypto gambling on the horizon.

Product Innovation

New Gaming Products: Introduction of innovative gaming formats subject to regulatory approval

Entertainment Expansion: Growth in non-gaming entertainment options

Luxury Positioning: Continued development of premium amenities and services

Regional Recovery

Tourism Normalization: Gradual return of international visitors from markets beyond mainland China

Business Travel: Recovery in MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions) business

Regional Competition: Positioning relative to other Asian gaming destinations

Conclusion: Momentum with Measured Optimism

Macau’s record-breaking May 2025 performance represents a significant milestone in the territory’s post-pandemic recovery, demonstrating both the resilience of its core mass market and the potential for broader gaming sector growth. The exceptional results during Golden Week, combined with sustained performance throughout the month, suggest that underlying demand remains strong despite broader economic uncertainties.

However, the industry’s future success will depend on maintaining this momentum while navigating ongoing regulatory requirements, seasonal variations, and macro-economic headwinds. The heavy reliance on holiday-driven tourism and the mass market’s dominant role, while providing stability, also highlights the need for continued diversification and sustainable growth strategies.

As Macau prepares for October’s National Day Golden Week (traditionally the year’s strongest gaming period) operators and regulators alike remain cautiously optimistic about sustaining the recovery trajectory established in May. The achievement of 81.7% of pre-pandemic revenue levels suggests that full recovery, while not yet complete, is increasingly within reach.

The key challenge will be building on this success while balancing growth with the government’s diversification mandates and the industry’s responsibility to maintain sustainable gaming practices. May’s performance has demonstrated that when conditions align (holiday periods, improved access, and strong consumer confidence) Macau’s gaming industry can still deliver exceptional results. The question now is whether this exceptional performance can evolve into sustained, long-term growth.

Ripple Stablecoin RLUSD Gets Green Line For Use In Dubai’s DIFCRipple’s stablecoin RLUSD has been approved by Dubai’s regulator for use in its Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the Middle East’s leading international financial hub. “Another milestone as we expand our footprint in the DIFC and across the UAE,” Ripple said in response to the approval in a June 3 X post. RLUSD Could Soon Be Used By Nearly 7,000 Companies The approval means that RLUSD can be used by the nearly 7,000 Dubai Finanical Services Authority(DFSA)-regulated companies that operate in the DIFC, Ripple said in its announcement. Ripple added that the DFSA greenlight means the company can cater to the “huge interest from businesses of all sizes for cross-border payments and digital asset custody solutions“ in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region.  The development also builds on the company’s growing footprint in the Middle East.

Ripple Says UAE Is Perfectly Positioned To Become “Global Hub” For Stablecoins In the announcement, Ripple shared market data from on-chain analytics firm Chainalysis. The data showed that stablecoin adoption in the UAE saw a 55% year-on-year increase in 2024. This, according to Ripple, is evidence of “strong demand for blockchain solutions that address inefficiencies of traditional payment rails. Ripple then went on to say that the UAE is “well-positioned” to become a global hub for stablecoin utility and innovation, highlighting the region’s “$400BN+ market for international trade” and its “progressive” regulatory frameworks for digital assets.  Although RLUSD has been approved for use in the DFSA, there are still questions around its adoption. This is especially true when considering that stablecoins issued by Circle, including USD Coin (USDC) and EURC (EURC), have also received approval from the DFSA.

Ordinals collection by @rodarmor and @heyparkerday is in an auction that ends in 12 hours and the current highest bid is 0.10069 BTC pic.twitter.com/4j4DcZdkqb — Ord.io (@ord_io) June 3, 2025 Rodarmor And Parker NFT Integration In May 2025, Casey Rodarmor confirmed partnering with Parker Day to launch a new non-fungible token collection exclusively on the Bitcoin blockchain network. The NFT collection titled “Fun Collection” featured a limited collection of 1,000 artworks and was aimed at bringing back fun in the Ordinal market. Even though the ordinal market is not dead, its initial frenzy has recently subsided. While commenting about the collaboration, Rodarmor remarked: “I love it. I mean—I really love it. Parker and I are super complementary. We each have our own strong wheelhouses, and we’re always engaging with each other’s work, but in this very chill, supportive way.” On the other hand, Parker Day is an NFT artist known for exploring identity and the masks people wear through costuming, exaggerated expressions, and vivid colors. Her work often delves into the formation of personas and what lies beneath. She has shown her work in numerous galleries and museums, including the Untitled Space, Superchief Gallery, and Peyer Fine Art. While commenting on the collaboration with Casey Rodarmor, Parker remarked: “Casey and I have known each other since high school. You could even say he was one of my first models—I shot his portrait for my sophomore year darkroom photography class. We kept in touch over the years, and in 2017, he encouraged me to turn my ICONS series into crypto art. I passed on that at the time, but in 2021, I did release an Ethereum NFT collection of ICONS. Right after that, Casey called me and said, “Yo! You need to go even bigger! Do 10k!” And I’m like, “You know these are all unretouched and shot on film, right?” But with his encouragement and funding, we figured out how to produce 1,000 unique portraits.” Fun NFT Collection Auction Goes Live The Fun Ordinal collection is live for auction on Magalith.art and is scheduled to end today, June 03, 2025.

Casey Rodarmor & Parker Day Join To Launch A Bitcoin NFT Collection

Casey Rodarmor, a renowned Bitcoin developer and the creator of the ordinals, inscriptions, and runes protocols, has partnered with Parker Day to launch an ordinal non-fungible token collection on the Bitcoin blockchain network. The Bitcoin dev and Parker Day announced their collaboration two weeks ago. The much-anticipated artwork is live for action at the Megalith.art auction house.

Rodarmor And Parker NFT Integration

In May 2025, Casey Rodarmor confirmed partnering with Parker Day to launch a new non-fungible token collection exclusively on the Bitcoin blockchain network. The NFT collection titled “Fun Collection” featured a limited collection of 1,000 artworks and was aimed at bringing back fun in the Ordinal market. Even though the ordinal market is not dead, its initial frenzy has recently subsided. While commenting about the collaboration, Rodarmor remarked:

“I love it. I mean—I really love it. Parker and I are super complementary. We each have our own strong wheelhouses, and we’re always engaging with each other’s work, but in this very chill, supportive way.”

On the other hand, Parker Day is an NFT artist known for exploring identity and the masks people wear through costuming, exaggerated expressions, and vivid colors. Her work often delves into the formation of personas and what lies beneath. She has shown her work in numerous galleries and museums, including the Untitled Space, Superchief Gallery, and Peyer Fine Art. While commenting on the collaboration with Casey Rodarmor, Parker remarked:

“Casey and I have known each other since high school. You could even say he was one of my first models—I shot his portrait for my sophomore year darkroom photography class. We kept in touch over the years, and in 2017, he encouraged me to turn my ICONS series into crypto art. I passed on that at the time, but in 2021, I did release an Ethereum NFT collection of ICONS. Right after that, Casey called me and said, “Yo! You need to go even bigger! Do 10k!” And I’m like, “You know these are all unretouched and shot on film, right?” But with his encouragement and funding, we figured out how to produce 1,000 unique portraits.”

Fun NFT Collection Auction Goes Live

The Fun Ordinal collection is live for auction on Magalith.art and is scheduled to end today, June 03, 2025. Megalith.art is a Bitcoin-native auction platform for Ordinals art, featuring artists from the Ordinals ecosystem. It’s a non-custodial platform that allows for real-time online bidding and on-chain finalization, utilizing atomic swaps for settlement. The auction platform is designed to showcase and sell Ordinal art, with a current auction series curated by Inscribing Atlantis and the 2025 Bitcoin Conference.
