<td class="h2020 ignore-defaults" style="padding: 5px 0px 0px;">
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) were perhaps the biggest breakout crypto asset in 2021.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Based on a buzzy investment round earlier this week, the story looks to continue in 2022: OpenSea, an NFT marketplace, is now valued at
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">
$13.3B
</a>
after raising $300m.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
OpenSea was founded in 2017
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
It is now the go-to platform to buy and sell NFTs — unique digital assets linked to the blockchain.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The most prominent NFTs are digital art collections, like CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club, which can start at 6 figures for a single image (owners often post them in their social profile pictures as a flex).
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Countless other NFT projects — including basically any random cartoon animal you can think of — are much
<em>
less
</em>
valuable…
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
… but OpenSea’s trading volume is huge
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Per
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">
<em>
Crypto Briefing
</em>
</a>
, the company facilitated
<strong>
$14B
</strong>
of transactions in 2021, a 646x increase from ~$22m in 2020.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
OpenSea charges a
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">
2.5%
</a>
transaction fee, which keeps piling up; trading volume has already passed
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">
$1B
</a>
in 2022.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
Not everyone is happy, though
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Last week, OpenSea froze
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">
$2.2m
</a>
worth of stolen NFTs. Adherents of crypto — who emphasize the value of decentralization — are wary of a central authority making a unilateral decision.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
As tech analyst
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">
Ben Thompson
</a>
points out, the stolen NFTs can still be transferred between individuals on the blockchain.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
However, there is more demand for NFTs
<em>
on
</em>
OpenSea than
<em>
off
</em>
of it, which means the platform almost certainly offers sellers the highest price and best liquidity.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
To Thompson, this is why OpenSea is valued at $13B+. Yes, the company is technically “centralized,” but that’s what most end users will want for their unique cartoon animals.

Third-party cookies have long been a staple of any digital advertising diet, but it's been a rough year for ad tech’s favorite guilty pleasure:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
In April, Apple
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">
pushed
</a>
an update that opted users out of ad-tracking by default.
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Last January, Google announced plans to ban 3rd-party cookies on Chrome by 2022 (which it later pushed to 2023).
</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
This week, Brave — a privacy-focused browser that blocks 3rd-party cookies —
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">

it now has
<strong>
50m+

monthly active users.

<strong>
What’s it all mean?
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Clearly, consumers are starting to take privacy more seriously, but the end of 3rd-party cookies should benefit advertisers, too.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Why? Because the data isn't that great to begin with.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
While studying one set of 3rd-party data, Forrester Research

that gender was only correct 50% of the time, and it was the

<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Now, hosts in Oregon will only see a prospective guest’s 1st initial until the booking is confirmed, at which point the guest’s full name is revealed.

In 2019, Airbnb
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">

</a>
a lawsuit in which 3 Black women alleged that requiring full names and photos allowed hosts to discriminate against potential guests based on race.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The complaint claimed Airbnb was in violation of Oregon’s public accommodation laws.

<strong>
indicated racial bias

</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
In 2014, researchers ran an
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">
experiment
</a>
. They reached out to ~6.4k US hosts as prospective guests, identical except for their names.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">

guests with Black-sounding names were ~16% less likely to be accepted by Airbnb hosts.

Sam’s 6-figure low-ticket course blueprint
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Back in 2013, Trends member Sam launched his debut EDM production course on Udemy.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
It was priced at just $80 and boosted to EDM subreddit regulars. At the end of year one, he was making $1.5k-$3k per month.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Since, he’s scaled his music production education hustle to over
<em>
$500k in annual revenue
</em>
, and
<a style="color: #121212 !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">
200k+ monthly organic site visits
</a>
…
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
…
<strong>
but 80% of the revenue is from one killer pillar piece of content
</strong>
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Sam spent the 2010s exploring the best ways to monetize his expertise. His product launches were centered around long-game organic growth: strong SEO, seasonal campaigns, and steady email marketing.
