VeeFriends Debuts a New Character With a Comic Book Drop Set for Oct 28

VeeFriends is building toward October 28, teasing Jolly Jack-O's first comic book appearance and asking collectors whether a character's story is worth chasing before the cards catch up. Over in Marfa, Art Blocks Weekend has Squiggle collectors meeting in person around two exhibitions, while BAYC's Mudwater claim is still feeding real on-chain traffic three days running, the single biggest sender on Chainlink CCIP again. Mutant Apes, Terraforms and Lil Pudgys all found buyers above floor overnight, and two smaller index names split in opposite directions: mfers slipped while Fox Federation climbed.

📜 Transcript

ALEX: VeeFriends is making you wait until the twenty-eighth.

ALEX: Jolly Jack-O gets his first comic book, and the pitch is basically: do you chase the character before the cards catch up?

ALEX: That only works if people already know the cast. VeeFriends has that. Most projects do not.

ALEX: Quick round of the rest. Marfa has the Art Blocks crowd in person this weekend — Squiggle collectors actually shaking hands instead of posting.

ALEX: And Mudwater is still doing real work on chain. Three days running, Bored Apes were the single biggest sender on Chainlink's cross-chain messaging. A trading card claim, moving infrastructure.

ALEX: Floors went both ways today, so I am not going to read you a board. One thing did stop me, though.

ALEX: Claynosaurz dropped about seven percent — roughly three times the daily swing that collection normally has.

ALEX: And it picked up twenty-nine holders over the same week.

ALEX: Price down, holders up. That contradiction is worth more than any sale I could read you.

ALEX: Now today's story, and I want you sceptical with me on this one.

ALEX: Trippin' Ape Tribe. The floor nearly tripled in dollars over the week. In Solana terms too, while Solana itself barely moved — so that is the collection, not the token underneath it.

ALEX: Sixty-two clean sales in seven days against four the week before. Four straight days up.

ALEX: Sounds like a run. Here is the other half of it.

ALEX: That entire week of trading is under a thousand dollars. The whole thing.

ALEX: And every buyer we have on record is what we call collector grade E. Minimal. That grade is our read on a wallet's history — an A has a long, serious record of holding through things, an E has almost nothing behind it yet.

ALEX: Several of those E wallets are now sitting on fifteen pieces each.
