On June 6th, company filings revealed that Google (GOOG.O) has agreed to pay SpaceX $920 million per month for computing power as part of a cloud services agreement that will last until mid-2029. SpaceX stated in a filing on Friday that Google will pay SpaceX monthly fees from October to June 2029, providing computing power including approximately 110,000 Nvidia GPUs, CPUs, memory, and other related components. The computing power will be gradually increased before September, with the fee decreasing accordingly. The filing shows that if SpaceX fails to deliver the agreed number of GPUs by September 30, 2026, Google has the right to terminate the contract and will have a one-month grace period. Furthermore, according to the agreement disclosed on Friday, either party has the right to terminate the agreement with 90 days notice.U.S. bank deposits rose to $19.333 trillion from $19.285 trillion last week.Standard & Poors affirmed Swedens credit rating at "AAA/A-1+" with a stable outlook.June 6th - According to the Financial Times, Meta Platforms (META.O) is considering raising tens of billions of dollars through a stock offering to seek new sources of capital to support Mark Zuckerbergs ambitious plans in artificial intelligence, following Googles record $85 billion stock deal this week. According to three sources familiar with the matter, executives at the social media company have been exploring "innovative" fundraising methods as the company plans to significantly increase its AI-related capital spending to as much as $145 billion this year, with further increases planned for 2027.

Crypto Market Sell-off Delivers NFT Trading Volume Boost

The crypto market sell-off has aided the growth of OpenSea NFT trading volumes.


Trading volumes on OpenSea fell in February and March as the crypto market rose.


As more mainstream businesses join the NFT area, the prognosis for the NFT market remains positive.

NFTs and OpenSea had a strong start to 2022, with trade volumes reaching an all-time high in January. The upward trend provided a positive picture for the next year.


ETH trade volume reached $4.97 billion in January, according to Dune Analytics statistics. The previous all-time high for OpenSea came in August, when trade volume reached $3.42 billion.


However, the crypto market's recovery from late January lows to early April highs was underwhelming in February and March.


Conditions in the NFT market look to be improving, with the recent crypto market sell-off providing support.

Trading on OpenSea with ETH under $3,000

March saw $2.49bn in ETH-based NFT trading volumes, down from $4.97bn in January and $3.58bn in February.


ETH trading volume is at $1.30bn. A continuing ETH decline would encourage demand for NFTs, notwithstanding the lack of a straight line.


After a January low of $2,161, ETH hit $3,500 in April before slipping down to sub-$3,000. ETH has declined in 6 of 9 sessions, with ETH-based NFT trading on OpenSea returning to sub-$3,000.


Because NFT trade volumes for Polygon (MATIC) and Solana (SOL) are so small, ETH remains the major emphasis.


This month's active traders have risen. From 546,145 in January to 451,767 in March, active ETH-based NFT traders. This month, there were 281,546 active ETH-based NFT traders.


Active traders may reach January's all-time high, boosting OpenSea and NFTs.

Beyond ETH Value's Influence on Trading Volume

Competition, illegal conduct, new NFT launches, and regulatory scrutiny will all have an impact on OpenSea trading activity.


LooksRare (LOOKS) debuted in January this year, and Coinbase is ready to join the NFT field via CoinbaseNFT.


Acceptance of fiat money as a form of payment will be a last important driver for NFT transaction counts. Coinbase and Mastercard announced a cooperation at the start of the year that would enable mainstream payments for NFTs.


The ability to accept mainstream payments eliminates the need for potential NFT collectors to open digital wallets and acquire cryptocurrency under risky market circumstances. The move by Coinbase to accept Mastercard payments may drive other NFT markets to do the same.


The good news for the NFT industry is that major corporations are continuing to investigate and join the digital asset market. Investors will be watching how Solana-based NFTs work for OpenSea.


However, there are also downside concerns, such as illegal activities and increasing governmental supervision. Regulatory monitoring must be helpful rather than punishing in order to make the NFT market more accessible. The actions of regulators on NFTs may be connected to unlawful activities in the NFT sector.
