Goldman Sachs is saving crypto companies, Ledger will release a stylish wallet: top crypto and Web3 news for December 6 in brief

Another interesting day in the Web3 world. Fortunately, there were no grandiose scandals or failures. But there were some interesting and creative announcements. About them (and not only) in our list of today’s top news.

Goldman Sachs: Rescue Rangers

According to Reuters, Goldman Sachs plans to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy or invest in crypto companies after the FTX exchange collapse. Many firms suffered as a result of this event.

Web3 sneakers

A Nike subsidiary called RTFKT has announced the launch of the first physical Web3 Cryptokicks iRL sneakers, which will later allow Move-to-Earn mode, in a limited run of 19,000 pairs. They will be priced between $450 and $1,333. 

The Web3 sneakers are inspired by the Nike Mag that came out with the movie Back to the Future 2.

ApeCoin time

Betting on ApeCoin has been launched, and bounties will begin to accrue on December 12, according to Nansen. 

About 4.28 million APE tokens (worth approximately $17 million in total) have been deposited into staking pools. The top contributor n0b0dy.eth (kfox.eth) made a bid of 168 thousand APE ($673,000). 

GameStop’s tough times

Layoffs have begun at GameStop. This was reported by Axios sources and several former employees on LinkedIn. GameStop, the world’s largest video game retailer, which has fallen on hard times in recent years, just opened an NFT marketplace this summer. Things looked good at first.

Crypto wallet from the iPod creator

Hardware cryptocurrency wallet maker Ledger has partnered with Tony Fadell, creator of Apple’s iPod and co-founder and former CEO of Nest. He creates the next offline crypto asset storage called Ledger Stax. 

The device is planned to be more stylish and functional than the previous Nano S model.
