May 27th - British household energy bills are set to see their biggest increase since 2023 due to the war with Iran pushing up wholesale gas and electricity prices, further exacerbating inflationary pressures already weighing on the UK economy. The UK energy regulator, Ofgem, announced on Wednesday that the energy price cap will be raised by 13% to £1862 from July 1st. This price cap is updated quarterly, and the previous pricing used market data prior to the escalation of the Middle East conflict; therefore, this adjustment is the first to fully reflect the impact of the recent turmoil in the Middle East. Since the start of the conflict, UK near-month gas futures prices have risen by over 40%, while electricity contract prices have risen by nearly a third over the same period. Energy consultancy Cornwall Insight predicts that UK energy bills will rise again in October, warning that even if the conflict ends quickly, prices will struggle to return to April levels due to damaged infrastructure and prolonged energy supply disruptions.Both WTI and Brent crude oil prices fell by more than 2.00% intraday, currently trading at $94.27 per barrel and $94.57 per barrel, respectively.Euro Stoxx 50 futures rose 0.35%, German DAX 30 futures rose 0.31%, French CAC 40 futures rose 0.47%, and UK FTSE 100 futures fell 0.11%.Ofgem (UKs Office for the Gas and Electricity Markets) says that from July onwards, electricity price increases will be lower than gas price increases – a situation different from that during the energy crisis.Ofgem (UKs Office for Gas and Electricity Markets) stated that the price increase was due to rising wholesale gas prices caused by ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) issued 18,000 Ethereum-based NFTs on Wednesday.


Users took advantage of the dip due to poor coding by wiping up the 18,000 NFT collection.


To accommodate supporters, the NFT has raised the collection from 18,000 to 30,000.


NFTs and the sports world have had a fantastic 2022. As sports attempt to leverage on Web3 to boost fan engagement, team and player interest in NFTs and the metaverse has risen.


Sports teams in the United States, such as the NFL and NBA, have been at the forefront of innovation.


Both have had success with their NFT markets, which provide incentives for more participation during important athletic events.


The NBA released 'The Association,' an 18,000 NFT drop to commemorate the NBA playoffs, on Wednesday.


The NBA's Hotly Anticipated NFC Collection 'The Association Launch' is Targeted by Exploit.


An exploit was discovered on Thursday, according to the newly created NBA Discord. The NBA introduced 'NBAxNFT,' a discord to let the NBA community to participate in Web3 discourse, last week.


The Discord, which has 59,592 members, has been useful as the NBA attempts to control the problem.

The NBA Disclosed the Exploit on NBAxNFT on Thursday

"We are aware of the smart contract concerns that led the Allow List supply to sell out early. We regret for the inconvenience and are working to locate the wallets on the Allow List that were unable to mint as a consequence."


The Association collection was made available to early NBAxNFT members through a "Allow List."


Early Discord users were able to attach an Ethereum wallet to their account and reserve one NFT per wallet.


Individual users were able to mint up to 100 NFTs due to a technical error, which they subsequently sold on the OpenSea marketplace.


On OpenSea, there were 17,093 NFTs from The Association collection with 9,100 owners and a floor price of 0.193 ETH at the time of writing.


The NBA put a halt to the drop an hour later, announcing that the amount of NFTs in the collection will be increased to 30,000.


The NBA's scam-alerts page on Discord, on the other hand, reveals that fraudsters were still a problem overnight. The Discord offered fake website URLs announcing the mint's restart.


The NBA has not been discouraged from completing The Association drop, despite the fact that the American team is well-versed in the NFT sector.

The NBA's Flagship NFT Marketplace Remains Top Shot

In 2020, the NBA and Dapper Labs will launch the NBA NFT marketplace Top Shot. Since then, the NBA has used NBAxNFT and The Association collection to increase fan interaction.


NBA clubs have also begun to sell postseason merchandise. The Golden State Warriors (GSW) released a 2022 playoff NFT collection on the FTX NFT marketplace earlier this week.


The Golden State Warriors 2022 Playoff NFT Collection is a limited edition of 2,000 NFTs that were created on the Solana (SOL) blockchain using FTX and were randomly allocated.


Despite the addition of new collections, NBA Top Shot is expected to remain the primary NFT marketplace.


It's unclear if the current exploit will have an influence on Top Shot activity. The harm would be limited if the situation could be resolved quickly.
