Ready, set, run. This NFT horse racing game just paired with one of the biggest beer brands in U.S. while one of the biggest video game developers and publishers is dipping their toes in play-to-earn. Another day, another slate of NFT headlines. Let’s review a few of the biggest stories in the non-fungible token space today.
The Nightly Mint
Zed Run certainly sees less mainstream coverage today than it has previously, but the digital horse-racing NFT project – powered cross-chain on Ethereum and Polygon – continues to nail down major partnerships, and today is simply another notch in the belt. Budweiser and Zed Run jointly announced a new partnership today across their channels:

Budweiser is a mainstream brand that has been especially aggressive and has sought to be a first-mover in NFTs. Zed Run has previously worked with the likes of Stella Artois and NASCAR to create branded digital horse NFTs.

A battle royale title that goes by ‘Grit’ in the Epic Games Store has been listed as “coming soon” and is reportedly a play-to-earn game that was created in partnership with blockchain gaming company Gala Games. Critics have been slamming the title for it’s past showing, as the traditional gaming community continues to show quite a bit of disdain towards P2E and blockchain-related engagement.
The ‘Minty Fresh’ Take
Bear markets ideally shake out those who stop by solely for the money.
Short-termism is NFT's/web3's biggest disease.
