Hello Rollers,
We’re in the 4th quarter of 2021 and NFTs continue pushing forward. Sotheby’s will auction NFTs from the $WHALE Vault, TikTok made their debut into NFTs, and Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, is opening an NFT platform.
Welcome to Social Money Times #13!
Who’s On A Roll
1️⃣ $WHALE dives in Sotheby’s. Fine art auction house Sotheby’s has teamed up with the $WHALE community to auction off the first $WHALE Vault NFTs. The sale will feature three early vault pieces from artists Pak, Brendan Dawes, and Hackatao, some of the most popular and prominent artists in the space.

2️⃣ TikTok…Boom! Social network giant TikTok launched their first creator-led NFT collection, TikTok Top Moments, with the help of Immutable.TikTok Top Moments features a selection of six culturally significant TikTok videos from some of the platform’s most beloved creators. Each one-of-one NFT celebrates the impact these creators have made across entertainment, culture, and the TikTok community.
3️⃣ NFTbase. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase announced the fast-approaching launch of Coinbase NFT, a peer-to-peer marketplace where people will be able to create, buy, sell and share NFTs. Coinbase NFT will bring NFTs to the 68+ million existing Coinbase users.
New Money
Watch out for the 💯 emoji which tells you which social money has hit $100,000 in liquidity. We call this “The 100K Club”.
💯Looks $RARE. The liquidity pool of $RARE, the social token of digital artist Rare Designer has climbed to $134,288 and is just $34,500 away from its previous all-time high.
$OSINA goes to Christie’s. “Different Shades of Water”, a collection of 5 NFTs from artist Osinachi in collaboration with 1-54 Art Fair, will be auctioned off on Christie’s. The online NFT auction will mark the first NFTs by a contemporary African artist offered by Christie’s in Europe.
$RCDY gets physical. Virtual publishing house RareCandy had a nice surprise for people that attended the ReworksAgora x SpheraNow keynote event in Greece. They gave away cards with a QR earn code printed on them that people could scan to get some of their social token, $RCDY.
$WHALE Hunters. POAP is organizing an NFT treasure hunt in New York, during NFT.NYC between October 31st and November 4th. The $WHALE community will be participating with their own POAP. Find out more about the treasure hunt here.

Humans of Social Money – Shawn from $PUNM
“I run a Youtube channel where I started exploring crypto just before the bull run started early in 2021. By doing research for the channel, I came across different aspects of crypto such as NFTs, and social tokens. I was inspired by what Connie Digital was doing with $HUE, and I decided to create my own token to further explore the possibilities.
Much in the way I use Youtube, which for me is a vehicle to help and inform artists, I grew excited and motivated at the possibility of using a social token to do the same. The plan is to build something that resembles a record company that’s community-owned. Artists can be artists and have the assistance of marketing, design, and technical people, education, as well as access to tools that can be used to grow and advance their careers.
Artists should be able to put up a bounty of $PUNM in the community for engagement and feedback on their new tracks. It’ll be its own economy where everyone is working and earning $PUNM and the work they’re doing contributes to the growth and value of the token and the community that backs it.” — Shawn from PayUsNoMind.
