After Making a Deal with MindGeek, Verge (XVG) Now Wants Spotify too

Published

on

Verge

Crypto enthusiasts only had a week to adjust to Verge’s recent victory involving the adoption of cryptos, when Verge (XVG) decided that they are still not done with their business deals. Another collaboration may be entered quite soon.

It has been a week since Verge managed to enter the partnership with MindGeek, which was considered to be one of the greatest victories for cryptos to date. However, this currency is not showing any signs of stopping when it comes to achieving what was seen as nearly impossible only a few years ago. They are now considering making the next historic deal, and this time, the aim is set at the music streaming giant – Spotify.

Verge wants Spotify

Verge core member which is in charge of recruitment and social media, Cees Van Dam, has decided to call out to XVG’s community. Van Dam wanted the VergeFam to add their support to a campaign that has a goal of getting Spotify to adopt cryptos as well.

He posted a tweet in which he asked XVG’s followers to give their thoughts and vote on a new proposal that would demand that Spotify makes a formal evaluation of Verge cryptocurrency. The goal of this act is to determine whether XVG is good enough to be added to this music streaming platform.

The tweet received a lot of support and attention and was retweeted and favorited several hundreds of times.

A Verge volunteer that goes by “Dan” is the one responsible for this suggestion. He pointed out to Spotify that partnership between Verge and MindGeek was a “monumental accomplishment”. He also called the potential partnership with Spotify “a huge business opportunity”.

Another thing that Dan informed Spotify of is the fact that any positive outcome regarding the proposal would be supported by Verge’s enormous community. The community itself is constantly searching the Internet in search of new resources, all for the purpose of letting the consumers take full advantage of every new partnership.

The idea of partnership gains popularity

There is a great chance that Spotify will see the potential that this offer carries. The suggestion proposed by Dan is one of the highest ranking ideas on Spotify’s page called “Top Ideas“. Whether the company chooses to act on this idea or not, they will definitely at least see it.

VergeFam’s members seem to be extremely encouraged by Verge’s recent successes, and it would seem that they have even developed a habit of finding the new potential partners for Verge. Not only that, but the members themselves choose to take the first step when it comes to approaching the companies that might make a good match.

There were many suggestions that appeared recently, and some of the most important ones include Tinder, as well as Stripe. The wish list also treats Netflix as one of the most desired potential partners, but whether one or more of these companies will be interested still remains to be seen.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
