Dapper Labs, the company behind NBA Top Shot, is one of the most prominent forces in the NFT market. Top Shot exploded in popularity and demand earlier this year and has racked up more than $500 million in trading volume to date.
Now, Dapper Labs has its sights set on what could be the next big thing in crypto collectibles: a cartoonish avatar creating platform with big celebrity endorsements called Genies.
Genies will be Dapper Labs’ next NFT marketplace to launch on the Flow blockchain after NBA Top Shot, and today Genies announced that it has raised a $65 million Series B funding round—with Dapper joining the investment fray, as well.
