Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. is inspired by the “Blood Dragon” video game from Ubisoft’s popular Far Cry series, which also has an accompanying animated TV series “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix” on Netflix.

This marks Magic Eden’s first NFT deployment on Arbitrum, as well as Ubisoft’s second foray into blockchain gaming. Its first, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, is an upcoming gothic-themed turn-based RPG that is set to launch on the Oasys layer-1 blockchain.

Bluefin possibly stands at an inflection point. The token is near an all-time low yet the protocol’s spot volume market share and derivatives exchange usage have been increasing month over month since its November launch. Given its current market position and the upcoming upgrades (for both Bluefin and SUI), there may be upside potential before the increased supply growth in December. However, strong opposition from existing competitors (like Cetus and Suilend), as well as new entrants (like Aftermath), pose key challenges to Bluefin’s medium-term success.
