Decentra Daily's Christmas list

Funds are tight in the Decentra Daily household this Christmas.

Full disclosure: we invested big in FTX, Luna, and Frosties NFTs ...which means there's not much left under the tree for the little Daily-ers. 🎄😢

But, we couldn't leave the Decentra family empty-handed during the holidays.

Along with a newsletter subscription for everyone, we scoured the metaverse mall for the best gift

deals.

Here's what we picked out for grandpa bear, momma bear, the cubs, and that special someone...

Grandpa gets: Trump Trading Cards

Grandpa's favorite president may have just dropped the most profitable NFTs of the year.

Trump's trading card collection is the 7-day leader on OpenSea, with 25K sales bringing in nearly 7,000 ETH – and the floor is still triple the original price. 👀

For Mom: Ledger Stax

Ledger's new Stax wallet was created by the designer of the iPod to be the crypto security company's most accessible, mainstream product yet.

With a personalizable curved E-Ink touchscreen display, even Mom should find it easy to sign transactions, store crypto, and show off her favorite NFTs.

For the kids: Bubblegum Kids NFTs

The kid-friendly pfp collection with a highly active community is staying strong into its second year – with plans for a Where's Waldo-style book, an animated short, and IP licensing.

Plus, the collection's first physical comic book dropped in time for Xmas.

And for that special someone... A $WOOL pouch

What better way to flaunt your NFT knowledge to your crush than with a bag of Wolf Game currency?

Wolf Game is probably the most-talked-about project in the space RN.

After a long build-up featuring mini-games and mysterious drops from The Shepherd, the full game is finally launching.

Speaking of Wolf Game, time for a new segment 👇

Pump up the volume

Quality collections seeing a big spike in volume

#1 - Anything Wolf.Game

• Floor Price: Varies

Well, looks like Wolf Game is almost upon us! The team released their woolpaper on Dec 16th and part 2, which spells out the game mechanics, on the 19th.

The game mechanics look extremely well thought out, and rightfully so, this collection is trending up in a big way.

All the Wolf Game collections are in the top 20 on OpenSea, and we’re seeing some big (20+ ETH) sales of Wolves.

Did I just buy a full game set? You bet I did.

#2 - Helix Parallel City Land

• Floor Price 0.10 ETH

Helix Parallel City feels like what I thought the metaverse would be the first time I heard the term.

It’s a 1:1 recreation of Manhattan, but as a fully playable video game. Think Grand Theft Auto but in an authentic NYC.

Parallel City Land gives you an address, which includes a building that’s residence and garage, with included furniture and accessories. I’m sure when they drop NFT cars, you’ll be able to park said car in your garage.

Maybe they just make great trailers but this game looks pretty amazing.
