The Waves🤝 Steve Aoki & 3LAU form CryptoPunks supergroup 👟 RTFKT & Nike drop first Web3 sneaker 🐵 Bored Ape #8436 sold for 280 ETH 💰 Financial Times reveals the Alameda VC portfolio Tech SpecialTony Fadell helps Ledger create new cold crypto wallet  Hardware wallet developer Ledger has introduced a new device designed by Tony Fadell, the inventor of the iPod and co-creator of the iPhone. The credit-card-sized device, named Ledger Stax, features a curved ink display, which covers the front and around the spine and can display users' favourite NFTs even when the device is turned off. In the wake of FTX’s collapse, investors have become eager to take control of their digital assets. Ledger Stax will enable users to manage over 500 cryptocurrencies, their NFT collection, and explore a range of Web3 apps through the Ledger Live app. It is also equipped with magnets, so that multiple devices can be stacked on top of each other, like a pile of cash — hence the name Stax. Users can connect it to their laptop through a USB-C cable or their phone via Bluetooth. “With the Ledger Nano series, we created the most successful digital asset security hardware of all time—with more than 5 million sold and none ever hacked,” said Pascal Gauthier, CEO and Chairman of Ledger in the press release. “Digital assets are increasingly about identity and digital ownership, not just crypto like Bitcoin. The time is now for a device for more mainstream users. At the same time, we must not compromise on security.” The Ledger will retail for $279, compared to $79 for the Nano S Plus and $149 for the Nano X wallet. It will be available in the first quarter of 2023, with pre-ordering available on Ledger.com. YouTube introduces custom emotes
YouTube is starting to roll out its own custom emotes. The Twitch-like emotes, dubbed YouTube emotes, have been designed by three independent illustrators. To see YouTube Emotes, click on the smiley face icon in a live chat or comment section. If you have a membership to a channel that offers its own custom emoji, you’ll see YouTube's global emotes below those. Similar to Twitch, YouTube’s emotes have specific names for auto-complete, so if you start typing “:cat-orange-whistling:” for example, it will automatically fill a comment with an orange cat whistling. “We’re starting with emotes created for Gaming but are working on bringing even more themes of emotes in the future, so stay tuned for emotes for even more communities!” YouTube said in a community post. Twitch rolled out global emotes back in 2012, and ever since, iconic emotes like PogChamp, Kappa, and LUL have been used by millions of users on the platform to express their reactions.
