No Doodle-Ling Around: Doodles Says Goodbye To NFTs

• The statement received mixed reactions from holders of the project who asked them for "clearer communications."

It will be exciting to see how they go about this while also holding onto the very foundation that gave them the platform on which to operate, NFTs. The integration of that with the new will surely be something that we can't miss.

Meta Ends Interest In NFTs, World of Digital Collectibles

Move over, NFTs - Meta is no longer interested in digital collectibles. The social media giant has reportdely abandoned plans for its own NFT project, leaving collectors to find a new platform to indulge in their obessions. 

Here are the quick facts:

• They were going to launch this within the next few months, following the footsteps of other social media platforms like Twitter.

• Instagram also halted its NFT plans, leaving collectors disappointed and searching for new avenues to fuel their digital obsessions.

• Instead, the company will focus its attention on "areas where they can make an impact at scale," such as messaging and monetization on Reels.

So, where does that leave NFT collectors? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, in the end, even in digital collectibles, nothing is permanent.
