## Shaq Settles Astral NFT Lawsuit A US court has approved a settlement, ending a dispute between NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal and investors in the Solana (SOL)-based NFT project, Astrals. The lawsuit alleged that O'Neal exerted significant control over the project, and that GLXY, the Astrals DAO governance token, should have been registered as a security. Investors claimed that O'Neal's involvement led them to invest in the Astrals project. To resolve the matter, O'Neal agreed to pay $11 million to the Astrals investors in 2023. The court's approval finalizes the settlement, officially concluding the legal battle between O'Neal and the Astrals NFT project. The details of the settlement, beyond the $11 million payment, remain undisclosed. This case highlights the growing legal complexities surrounding celebrity endorsements and NFT projects within the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency and digital asset space. ```
