Opensea did not initiate the new fundraising process

According to a report by The Information, major NFT marketplace OpenSea has received investment offers from potential backers with a valuation of $10 billion or more. The New York-based company has not initiated the new fundraising process. In July, the NFT platform had raised $100 million in a Series A round led by a16z. That valued OpenSea at $1.5 billion. According to the investors the value of the NFT marketplace has increased more than six-fold in recent months.

There are thousands of NFTs available to users on the OpenSea marketplace. In August alone, OpenSea's NFT trading volume exceeded $3 billion, surpassing the previous all-time monthly high by a factor of 10. In recent months, trading volume has declined, but OpenSea continues to keep it above $2 billion per month.

The company could not entirely avoid controversy

The NFT marketplace has been very successful but could not entirely avoid controversy. Recently, owners of the NFT collection "Phunks" lost their NFTs due to an exploit that resulted in their NFTs being sold without their consent. Opensea compensated the owners of the Phunks by paying them back the floor value. During another incident in September, the head of product Nate Chastain had used inside information to buy items from NFT's collections shortly before they were featured on the platform's homepage. As a result, he was asked to resign.

Opensea is currently the largest marketplace for NFTs, but crypto exchanges like Coinbase and FTX are trying to compete with the platform by offering NFTs on their exchange, bringing even more users into the space. SushiSwap has also launched its NFT marketplace called Shoyu, which aims to become a more user-friendly marketplace and hopes to compete with Opensea by offering cheaper minting and transactions with Layer 2 solutions like Polygon. The platform will also share its rewards with XSushi holders. 2.5% of fees will be distributed to xSushi holders to generate passive income. Right now, Opensea is the largest marketplace and has the first-mover advantage, but as the space grows, more competitors will try to knock the marketplace off its throne.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
