<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The two companies stated that one of the primary concerns for future collaborations would be the development of eco-friendly NFTs.

<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">YG represents several well-known Kpop artists, including BLACKPINK, BIG BANG, and WINNER.

<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It later fell below that level and last traded at around $44,800 per coin.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It’s unclear what triggered the latest price increase, but the cryptocurrency’s value has been steadily rising in recent days. After weeks of losses, it finally broke through $40,000 last Friday.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Investors have been wary of digital currencies and other risky assets since the Federal Reserve of the United States signaled that it might withdraw economic stimulus more aggressively than expected.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Governments are also cracking down. Russia’s central bank has proposed a ban on cryptocurrency use and mining. Russia is one of the world’s largest crypto-mining countries. However, its central bank has warned that digital currencies could jeopardize its financial stability.</span></p>
