One of them is currently going for more than $2,000 USD.
Charmin has officially hopped on the non-fungible token train, launching its own toilet paper-themed NFT, or as the brand calls it NFTP (non-fungible toilet paper).
Charmin’s NFT is expected to come with a “physical display” in case owners would want to “hang your NFTP in your bathroom alongside your IRL rolls.” Charmin has five designs ready for bidding, selling only one NFT per design. The company has announced that all proceeds from the NFT sales will go directly to humanitarian aid non-profit, Direct Relief. So far, bids for the NFTP range between $500 USD to $2,100 USD.
Charmin is no stranger to jumping on trends to generate social buzz. CNN reported that just last year, Charmin “released a Bluetooth-enabled robot that delivers toilet paper straight to the bathroom when users run out.” Charmin is not the only brand to jump on the cryptocurrency trend. Just this week, news platform Quartz began selling its debut NFT news article and Pizza Hut Canada announced their “non-fungible pizza.”
Those interested can check out Charmin’s NFTPs on Rarible.

I would be a bit cautious about reading too much into the last few days in the markets because we're at triple witching today.
1st quarter earnings are approaching and comps to last year should not be difficult for many companies. |

Mar. 19, 2021 8:40 AM ET Bitcoin USD (BTC-USD) By: Jason Capul, SA News Editor 7 Comments
Purpose Bitcoin ETF, the first-ever launched bitcoin ( BTC-USD) exchange traded fund, has just crossed the $1b assets under management threshold. The ETF was created to help bring cryptocurrency to the mainstream.
CEO of Purpose Investments, Som Seif, stated, “When we launched Purpose Bitcoin ETF, we knew we were filling a void in the market. Hitting this milestone so quickly proves that investors are seeking convenient, safe access to cryptocurrencies and shows their confidence in our ETF as the premier vehicle for that exposure.”
Bitcoin, which has been on a tear this year, is currently trading just over $59,000 and is up over 100% YTD. See below a chart of bitcoin’s performance against the S&P 500 over a one-year period.
The Canadian exchange traded fund was the first launched bitcoin ETF, and it’s the only ETF that invests in and holds 100% physically settled Bitcoin. |

Mar. 19, 2021 11:30 AM ET Butterfly Network Inc - Class A (BFLY) By: Jerry Kronenberg, SA News Editor 1 Comment
Hedge fund Glenview Capital Management’s second SPAC inched up Friday on its first trading day since going public even as the firm’s first special purpose acquisition company continued to enjoy 80%+ gains.
Longview Acquisition Corp. II (LGV.U) rose 0.1% to close at $10.01 on the New York Stock Exchange after raising an upsized $600M through an initial public offering.
The IPO comes as Butterfly Network (NYSE: BFLY), a medical-imaging company that sister SPAC Longview Acquisition Corp. I bought in February, gained as much as 5.4% intraday before closing at $18.12, up 1.1% on the day.
BFLY, which took over Longview Acquisition Corp. I’s New York Stock Exchange listing when the deal closed, has risen more than 80% since the companies announced their merger in November.
Butterfly jumped 16.9% in a single session on Feb. 17 after Ark Investment Management's Cathie Wood said in an interview that she liked the stock.
As for Longview Acquisition Corp. II, the new SPAC sold investors 60M investment units at $10 apiece, each consisting of one Class A share and 0.2 warrants* entitling holders to a buy a second share in future at $11.50.
Glenview upsized the IPO from the 50M units that the SPAC originally planned to offer.
The SPAC wrote in an S-1 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that “while we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business … we intend to focus on the industries that align with the background of the sponsor, with a particular emphasis placed on the healthcare sector.”
Other possible target areas include industrials, consumer, media, technology and technology services, according to the S-1.
The new SPAC’s units are trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "LGV.U." Its shares and warrants will also eventually list separately as “LGV” and “LGV.WS,” respectively. |

I am looking for companies that actually maintain the network and/or have a stake in NFT platforms. |
