Odaily News On-chain detective ZachXBT says law enforcement mistakenly detained former Yuga Labs security researcher Sam Curry in connection with a 2022 cyber theft that stole approximately $1.1 million worth of BAYC NFTs. ZachXBT says he has identified the wallet behind the scam and associated it with a now-deleted X account. In December 2022, an anonymous attacker stole 14 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs, each trading for approximately $86,000 at the time. Law enforcement then "mistakenly viewed OpenSea's logs, which contained [Curry's] home IP address, and used this to falsely label him as a suspect." (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News After losing the legal battle with Epic Games, Apple has relaxed the in-app purchase rules of the US App Store, allowing developers to direct users to external payment channels to avoid the 30% commission. Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, a judge at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, ruled on May 3 that Apple cannot prevent app developers from adding links or buttons to external payment channels. Although NFT and cryptocurrency transactions could previously be conducted on the App Store, Apple's 30% in-app purchase commission (or 27% external payment commission) was required. After the ruling, iOS applications that previously only supported browsing functions, such as OpenSea, may be able to add transaction modules, and applications that rely on built-in browsers, such as MetaMask, will obtain more compliant payment solutions.

Odaily News Samuel Cardillo, technical director of Nike's RTFKT, posted on the X platform that the two NFT series, CloneX and Animus, are currently being migrated to ArWeave and should be back online within a few hours. RTFKT has been discussing infrastructure changes since December last year, but since internal company processes take some time, decentralization is planned in the future. Samuel Cardillo added that yesterday, its NFT series CloneX could no longer display art images on the OpenSea and Blur platforms, and only prompted "This content has been restricted; using Cloudflare's basic services in this way violates the terms of service." The main reason is that the project's Cloudflare Pro plan will end on April 30, but Cloudflare somehow decided to switch to a free plan a few days before the contract expires, triggering an error that refuses to stream images and videos.

Odaily News OpenSea and Blur platforms show that Nike's RTFKT's NFT series CloneX can no longer display art images normally. Currently, each NFT image shows "This content has been restricted; using Cloudflare's basic services in this way violates the terms of service." RTFKT has previously announced that it will end its Web3 service operations in January 2025.

Odaily News NFT market OpenSea sent a letter to the SEC, requesting clarification that NFT platforms should not be considered securities exchanges or brokers. The letter was signed by OpenSea's general counsel Adele Faure and deputy general counsel Laura Brookover, emphasizing that classifying OpenSea as an exchange or broker is a regulatory overreach. In February of this year, the SEC terminated its investigation into OpenSea. OpenSea pointed out that it does not match transactions, provide investment advice, or custody user assets. (Decrypt)

Odaily News At the beginning of 2022, OpenSea accounted for around 97% of Ethereum NFT market transaction volume. Just two years later, the platform seemed to shrink in the face of fierce competition, with its market share falling to just below 20%, and even falling to 13% in the summer of 2024. However, in the 10 months since then, OpenSea's share of Ethereum NFT market transaction volume has steadily climbed and now exceeds 51%. However, analysts believe that OpenSea's "return" in market share and market capacity is not because the OpenSea protocol itself has performed well, but because its main competitor Blur has performed poorly on a relative competitive basis.
