Magic Eden Token Just Became the NFT Market's Best Kept Secret
Magic Eden announced a reduction of Ethereum-compatible chains and Bitcoin Ordinals support in late February, drawing criticism from the Bitcoin community. Binance delisted ME/FDUSD on March 18 for low liquidity, and Burwick Law announced an investigation into ME tokens on March 11.

Why ApeCoin Survived When Most NFT Tokens Died
People like to tell a story about the failure of NFT tokens as a whole. They say tokens were nothing more than a fad, and APE just hasn't run its course in death yet.
