Major U.S. indices declined as traders likely realized profits before heading into an eventful week, with the Fed’s February meeting and a slew of tech earnings set to induce volatilities. Meanwhile, the broader cryptocurrency market followed in the footsteps of the equities, with Bitcoin and Ether down by 4.12% and 4.49% in the past 24 hours as of the time of writing. The top mover for today, MPLX, registered a 24-hour return of 7.97%, outperforming the broader market as the industry embraces its programmable NFT initiative.
MPLX is the native token of Metaplex, a collection of tools and smart contracts to make the process of creating and launching NFTs easier on Solana. Solana had a vibrant NFT community and was able to challenge Ethereum thanks to the tools offered by Metaplex. The recent outperformance of Metaplex comes as it promotes a new asset class, programmable NFTs (pNFT). Compared to NFTs, pNFTs add more functionality to creators, including enforcing royalties and requiring additional signers, etc. As of the time of writing, the largest NFT marketplace on Solana has completed the pNFT integration, while the integrations with Solana wallets and other DeFi protocols are in the works.
