Welcome to the OpenSea Digest, where we recap this week's major news in NFTs and Web3.
MMO shooter BloodLoop will launch on the Epic Games Store on June 23.
Swiss game studio Ragnarok Games will launch BloodLoop, a free dystopian hero shooter with NFT-driven items, in early access on the Epic Games Store on June 23.
The game is set in the year 2191, where three factions battle in a virtual arena, utilizing gravity manipulation abilities and skill-based tactics. Players can participate in team deathmatches, energy battles, or free-for-all modes, earning and trading on-chain equipment during combat.

In 2021, Sergio Silva discovered CryptoPunks, which changed the trajectory of his life. Sergio, a former trader at Goldman Sachs and Barclays, jumped from traditional finance to NFT and was attracted by the cultural change brought about by digital ownership. Since then, he has been a promoter in the Web3 field and recently took the helm of MeebCo - the new home of the iconic Meebits series.
In this conversation, Sergio reflects on his initial entry into the world of NFTs, why Meebits remains an artistically outstanding achievement to this day, and how his team is reshaping the future of the series in the fields of art, practicality, technology, and community. From AI agents to physical products inspired by personality traits, Sergio shares MeebCo's vision: to blaze a new path for development based on the heritage of Larva Labs.

In May 2025, CryptoPunks was 'sent to the museum.'
To be precise, it is Yuga Labs that transferred the intellectual property of this project, which pioneered the NFT art era, to a non-profit organization named Infinite Node Foundation (NODE).
The latter announced that this acquisition includes all the intellectual property of CryptoPunks, along with a $25 million cultural fund, which will promote an ambitious museum collaboration plan aimed at incorporating CryptoPunks into mainstream global art institutions.
It also boldly announced, "This is not a transfer of ownership, but liberation."

Plans include expanding the project through more storytelling, new merchandise, art collaborations, and interactive experiences while maintaining a presence in Yuga's Otherside metaverse.
