Welcome to the OpenSea digest. Let’s look back through the biggest NFT and web3 news of the week.

Ripcache debuts a new AI-focused solo show at Heft Gallery

Heft Gallery, a small contemporary art space on Broome Street in New York known for showing emerging digital and conceptual artists, opened a new exhibition on Nov. 19 by the artist known as ripcache.

The show focuses on the feeling of being watched by modern technology, especially by AI systems that collect and study huge amounts of data from the devices people use every day. 

According to the collection’s description, ripcache builds the images from “telemetry,” a simple method that computers use to send back information about their activity, turning those signals into pixelated black-and-white scenes that look like surveillance footage.

One repeating figure is the “Shoggoth,” a many-eyed creature used inside the AI world to describe how large AI models can seem both powerful and hard to understand, even when they present a friendly surface. 

The result is a set of stark, literal images that invite people to look closely at how today’s systems watch, record and respond, which makes the show a straightforward entry point for anyone curious about the visual language of AI.

Rekt Drinks expand into 200 Giant Eagle stores

Rekt Drinks, the internet-born beverage brand followed by many NFT collectors, began rolling out its cans to 200 Giant Eagle grocery stores across Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Indiana, according to posts on the company’s official X account. 

Giant Eagle holds roughly a quarter of the grocery market in the Pittsburgh region, based on recent industry data cited by Grocery Dive.

Rekt said the chain will stock three flavors: Liquidated Lime, Abstract Chain Apple and MoonPay Crush, each named as a nod to well-known crypto companies and onchain tools that its audience recognizes.

Separately, Rekt also announced a separate launch called Rekt by Manors V1, a small run of golf clothing and accessories made with Manors Golf that will go on sale Nov. 24 on rekt.com.

Pudgy Penguins expands with new book and large Art Week Miami installation

Pudgy Penguins, the Miami-based character brand that began as an NFT collection, released its first children’s book called The Worst Birthday Gift Ever, created with the Random House Kids imprint.

The book is now available on Amazon and was promoted as a holiday gift by the brand on X. 

At the same time, the brand is preparing a 15,000 square foot installation called “Port of Miami” for Art Week Miami. 

The two announcements signal Pudgy Penguins’ expansion into larger public events and traditional publishing as it continues to grow beyond its original NFT community.

Kraken files for U.S. IPO after raising $800 million

Kraken, the U.S.-based crypto exchange founded in 2011, confidentially filed to go public after raising $800 million at a $20 billion valuation, according to CNBC reporting. 

The company said the raise included $200 million from Citadel Securities and will support expansion into international markets and payment services. 

CNBC noted that Kraken is the latest crypto company moving toward the public markets this year, joining Bullish and the Gemini Space Station exchange, which listed earlier in 2025. 

Paragraph finishes migration of all Mirror blogs to its onchain platform

Paragraph, an online publishing platform that uses blockchain tools to store posts and track readership, announced via email this week that it has finished moving every writer’s blog from Mirror onto its own system. 

Mirror was an earlier web3 publishing site that let people post essays and newsletters using a crypto wallet instead of a traditional username and password. 

With the migration complete, all posts and subscribers now live inside Paragraph. The email said that old Mirror links redirect to the upgraded pages automatically. Users can sign in with the same wallet or email they used before.

Marvel debuts first fine art collection with Asprey Studio

Marvel has stepped into fine art for the first time by releasing a collection that turns its famous superheroes into handcrafted silver sculptures paired with digital artworks stored on the blockchain.

The sculptures are made by Asprey Studio, a London luxury workshop known for hand-shaping sterling silver, and each one corresponds to a digital animation stored. 

The digital animations change slightly every time you view them because an algorithm controls the motion, which has the effect of making each look like a living version of its silver counterpart. 

Marvel will reportedly present all sixty pieces in Dubai on Dec. 12, positioning the collection as a way for fans and collectors to see familiar characters transformed into both physical objects and digital artworks at the same time.

Trump Organization plans tokenized Maldives resort project

The Trump Organization, the family-run real estate company connected to the family of U.S. President Donald Trump, announced it will use a blockchain system to sell digital shares in a new Maldives resort, according to an article by crypto news publisher CoinDesk. 

In this context, tokenization means breaking a property into digital pieces, called “tokens,” so people can buy small portions of a project the same way they might buy a stock, with ownership recorded on a blockchain, which is a permanent online ledger. 

The resort is reportedly being developed with Dar Global, a Saudi real estate firm, and is planned to include 80 villas near Malé with an expected opening in 2028.
