Since the announcement of Magic Eden’s token issuance, NFT players have been looking forward to the early arrival of $ME airdrops. At the end of the year when Bitcoin prices hit new highs, NFT players are increasingly looking forward to the arrival of $ME. The former king OpenSea also seems to be bringing good news to NFT players that they have been waiting for too long.

OpenSea may be about to issue coins.

On November 4, OpenSea officially announced that it would launch a "brand new OpenSea" in December and opened a site for registering test addresses. So far, there are more than 700,000 addresses on the waiting list.

OpenSea, once the leader in NFT, is finally going to issue coins?

As one of the first testers of the new version of OpenSea, @johnweth_ wrote a tweet to share his testing experience (the following screenshots of the new version of OpenSea are all from @johnweth_).

Brand new user interface, including projects with the best daily floor price increase, daily & weekly volume project rankings, and popular projects.

The user's personal page no longer focuses on displaying the NFTs held by the user as before, but instead focuses on displaying the user's wallet activities.

The next two points are the most important and are related to possible coin issuance. First, the “rankings” appear:

From this "Ranking" interface, we can see that there is a "Retro" page that is still locked. According to the literal meaning, "Retro" means "traceability". This page may later display the tokens that old OpenSea users will obtain based on their past usage.

The interface of "Season 1" will definitely be familiar to NFT players who have experienced Blur. Loyalty is related to whether to place orders only on OpenSea. "Boost" is related to the user's ranking on the leaderboard. The higher the ranking, the higher the points multiplier. And on this page, the way to obtain points is also directly written out - place orders on OpenSea and provide offers for NFT series.

Although @johnweth_ emphasized at the end of the tweet that the above test content may change after OpenSea officially releases the new version, the fact that "OpenSea is going to issue coins" has aroused widespread discussion and expectations among NFT players. Since OpenSea acquired the NFT aggregator Gem and rebranded it as OpenSea Pro, OpenSea has not had any major updates. Even after Magic Eden has firmly established itself as the leader in the Bitcoin NFT trading market, OpenSea has not added support for the Bitcoin network. Judging from the content of this update, OpenSea seems to have finally figured out how to integrate OpenSea and OpenSea Pro and is about to start a "fight back."

Influenced by this news, the "Gemesis" NFT series issued by OpenSea Pro to old Gem users in April last year has risen by about 50% in the past week.

Old NFT players who have been using OpenSea since they had to pay the "account opening fee" finally feel like they have seen the "light before the dawn". If OpenSea's coin issuance is finally confirmed, how much impact will it have on Blur? And can such a "counterattack" drive the Ethereum NFT market to become active again? We will wait and see.
