According to a representative from the NFT marketplace OpenSea, the NFT project Fractional Uprising has been taken down due to violating the platform's terms of service. The representative stated that OpenSea's terms of service include a prohibition on "using the service to engage in any financial activity related to creating, issuing, selling, or purchasing securities, commodities, options, or debt instruments." Any party attempting to offer financial instruments on OpenSea is directly in violation of the company's policy and will face enforcement action, including takedown and, in some cases, account bans. Fractional Uprising NFT reportedly offered game access and other benefits, including in-game items and potential token airdrop rewards, but the project team denied plans to offer any type of securities issuance.

NFT trading service provider OpenSea has disclosed on social media that the total number of embedded wallets created using email has exceeded 100,000 since the introduction of the new feature three weeks ago.

Devin Finzer, the CEO and co-founder of OpenSea, has stated that the company remains open to potential acquisition deals. Finzer added, "The honest answer is that OpenSea takes a fairly open approach, and if there's a good fit with a partner, we'll consider it," but he also stated that OpenSea is not actively seeking buyers and does not have any plans to be acquired. Regarding competitor Blur, Finzer said he is not worried because OpenSea is focused on building a brand that ensures user safety by removing any fraudulent or problematic product series.
