Miladys NFTs Surge After Elon Musk Tweet as Binance Simplifies Bitcoin NFT Purchases

This week marked a significant step forward for Bitcoin-based NFTs as Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, announced plans to integrate Ordinals into its marketplace. Meanwhile, the Miladys NFT collection experienced a sudden price spike after Elon Musk shared a meme featuring one of its distinctive avatars.

Additionally, Aegis Custody launched an initiative to support women in Web3 by offering six months of free custodial services, valued at $28,000, to female-led crypto projects.

Elon Musk’s Milady Tweet Sparks Frenzy

A single tweet from Elon Musk, featuring a Milady NFT, sent the collection’s floor price soaring to 7.3 ETH (~$13,700) before settling at 4.25 ETH. This mirrors past trends where Musk’s crypto-related tweets (e.g., Dogecoin) trigger short-term volatility.

Empowering Women in Web3

Aegis Custody launched a program offering free custodial services to women-led crypto projects for six months. CEO Serra Wei emphasized lowering barriers for women in a male-dominated industry.

"Women in crypto often face an uphill battle for support and respect. This initiative aims to level the playing field."
