On Saturday, the leading non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace suffered an attack, which saw users lose roughly $1.7 million worth of digital collectibles. According to Devin Finzer, co-founder and CEO of OpenSea, the marketplace appears to have been a victim of “a phishing attack originating outside of OpenSea’s website.”
The LooksRare non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace has made quite an entrance onto the digital collectibles space – in the first few weeks since its launch, LooksRare cleared triple the amount of transactions volume of the world’s largest NFT market, OpenSea. However, the vast majority of trading volume can be attributed to the practice known as wash trading.

German luxury vehicle manufacturer Mercedes has partnered with notable NFT artists from Art2People to celebrate its iconic G-Class series, in what the carmaker calls the “NF-G” project.
OpenSea, the leading non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, has already hit its highest monthly transactional volume to date despite there being nearly two full weeks until the end of January. A growing interest in NFTs, the spike in sales, and the number of registered users have all played a significant role in driving trading activity on the platform.
