Big moment.
Orbis has officially gone public.
The marketplace for creators and communities on Solana is now live for everyone.
Welcome to Orbis 🟣

Didn't think that one through, did you?
International sports are not a genetic ranking of nationalities. Countries tend to excel at what they make culturally central, teach early, fund, and build real pathways around.
The Soviet Union dominated hockey. Eastern Europe produced gymnastics powerhouses. China built table tennis and men’s gymnastics machines. Scandinavia dominates Nordic skiing. South America built soccer cultures. The U.S. dominates basketball and is a perennial track power because we focus on them.
And places like the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Puerto Rico produce elite baseball players far beyond their size because baseball is their focus.
America has the population, money, facilities, and diversity to become much better at soccer. But “Americans are naturally more athletic, so we’d dominate indefinitely” is just coping after an embarrassing loss.

🚨 Attention Magic Eden $ME stakers 🚨
Consumers who purchased a digital token promoted as the backbone of a growing online asset marketplace are now seeking legal recourse after alleged failures to deliver on key promises led to steep financial losses. The complaint was filed by Jaime Pagan, Ariel Ruano, and Chris Sadowski on June 16, 2026 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Jack Lu, Zhuoxun Yin, Sidney Zhang, Zhuojie Zhou, Euclid Labs Inc. doing business as Magic Eden, ME Foundation, and other unnamed parties
I wonder what this means for @DiceyHQ

Update on @MagicEden and @DiceyHQ:
It is clear we're entering a new era where finance and entertainment merge. We are now 2 months into @DiceyHQ’s closed beta and are incredibly bullish on how things have developed (~200 users, >$15M wagered).
To give Dicey the focus it deserves, it’s time for us to go all in with the full scope of our talent and resources. Therefore, we are streamlining the Magic Eden marketplace to focus exclusively on Packs and Solana.
With that lens, we are announcing a few changes to our product portfolio:
1// Betting: We are doubling down on @DiceyHQ to innovate in the crypto casino & sportsbetting space to capture the massive opportunity in iGaming.
2// Marketplace & Wallet: We are winding down support for our EVM marketplace (March 9), Bitcoin (Runes & Ordinals) marketplace (March 9), Bitcoin API (March 27), and the Magic Eden Wallet (April 1)
3// NFT Buybacks: We will be winding down NFT buybacks as they had minimal impact, and will instead shift our focus to ecosystem design and product initiatives, including the role future yield efforts towards the $ME token plays in that ecosystem.
4// $ME Token: $ME remains the central token of our ecosystem across Magic Eden and Dicey. As our product suite evolves, including Dicey, we expect $ME to remain an important part of how users engage across all of our products. Right now, our focus is on execution, product-market fit and scaling GTM for Dicey. We'll provide more clarity around $ME's integration into Dicey as the roadmap develops.
Why is there a need to streamline our products?
The 80/20 rule has become our reality: 80% of our cost are tied to products generating only 20% of our revenue. By winding down these products, we're refocusing on our Solana roots & retaining our most profitable products, betting on deep on crypto entertainment, and positioning our products for long term growth incl. the role of $ME token and our community plays within it.
The future of ME is simpler, faster, and fueled by our original home on Solana and the success of Dicey.
I can’t wait to share more about what we’re building at Dicey in the coming weeks.

NFTs are not coming back.
Not the 2021 version.
Not the 10k PFP collections.
Not the instant 100x after mint.
Companies still anchored to the old ways are going to die.
They’ve already started to. Multiple NFT-centric companies have shutdown in recent months. And more will suffer the same fate.
NFTs were built on speculation.
When speculation left, so did the business model.
Marketplaced shut down.
Platforms collapsed.
Tooling dried up.
Volume was gone.
While some NFT platformd pivoted, others stayed complacent.
Instead of rewarding users, building infrastructure, product depth, and growing TAM, some companies’ greatest success is an endless token farm.
Platforms still focused on NFTs have a largely bleak outlook.
Magic Eden saw the same dying volume.
They pivoted.
Beyond NFTs.
Toward entertainment.
Toward engagement.
Toward new TAM.
They built Dicey.
A new brand.
A new direction.
A new revenue stream.
A new industry.
You can argue the category, but you cannot argue the adaptability.
There has never been a better time to take a swing at bat.
NFTs as speculative assets are finished, likely forever.
If you’re still leading with “we are an NFT platform,” you are falling behind in a time where the best of the best have already found new markets.
The only way to survive in this market is to create a new market.

Magic Eden has announced buybacks will come from the entire product suite, meaning all revenue will contribute to revenue share for stakers.
By second half of 2026, more than 50% of all $ME will be in circulation, entering a new paradigm. Inflation rate drops rapidly.
Now paired with increasing buybacks over time, this will create a new supply and demand pressure that we have yet to see.
With new innovations coming, new products, I wouldn’t be suprised if $ME is one of the best runners going into next year.
Being a $ME staker has been a wild ride. But I truly believe the ride has yet to really begin. Lock in. 🔥

A few months later and this is what capitulation looks and feels like. People aren't selling to buy lower, they are selling to be done.
