On September 14th, Martin Kocher, the new president of the Austrian National Bank and a member of the ECBs governing council, said in an interview that the ECB could temporarily maintain interest rates at 2% unless there were major shocks. "At this point, this interest rate cycle is over, or very close to it," Kocher said. This Thursday, the ECB held interest rates at 2% for the second consecutive meeting. Kocher said that "if there are no major changes in the data," the rationale for this months decision will to some extent "continue to hold true in future ECB meetings." When asked about his personal stance, Kocher said that he currently "inclined to remain cautious on monetary policy" and advised against taking excessive risks on inflation.Romanias Ministry of Defense said on September 14 that a drone intruded into Romanian airspace on Saturday during a Russian attack on Ukrainian infrastructure near the border, forcing the country to scramble fighter jets. Defense Minister Ionut Mosteanu said an F-16 fighter pilot narrowly missed shooting down the drone, which was flying very low and then left Romanian airspace toward Ukraine. Romania, a member of the European Union and NATO, shares a 650-kilometer (400-mile) border with Ukraine. The Romanian Ministry of Defense said in a statement that two F-16 fighter jets, and later two Eurofighter jets, were scrambled on Saturday, and warned residents of Tulcea County in the southeast, near the Danube River and the Ukrainian border, to take cover.On September 14, Penske Media, the owner of Rolling Stone and Billboard, sued Google in a federal court in Washington, D.C. on Friday, accusing the latter of using its AI summary feature without permission and cutting website traffic. This is the first time that a major American publisher has filed a lawsuit against Googles AI-generated summaries. For months, several news organizations have said that these new features will divert users and erode advertising and subscription revenue. The lawsuit stated that AI summaries are currently displayed in about 20% of Google search results linking to its website, and the proportion is expected to continue to rise. As search traffic declines, the companys associated revenue will have fallen by more than a third from its peak by the end of 2024. Google responded on Saturday that AI summaries can provide users with a better experience and bring traffic to more different types of websites.According to the local governor: A fire broke out at the Kirish oil refinery in Russia after the wreckage of a drone fell, and the fire has now been extinguished.On September 14th, US media reported on the 13th that FBI Director Kash Patel was questioned for mistakenly announcing a "suspect in custody" in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a political ally of US President Trump. Following the shooting on the 10th, local police in Utah quickly arrested one person, and Patel announced the arrest on social media. However, it was later confirmed that police had arrested the wrong person, with the shooter still at large. Patel will face questioning from lawmakers about this case and broader issues at a congressional hearing next week.

The Hyundai brand will collaborate with the Meta Kongz NFT brand.


The automaker will also create an NFT community on social media platforms such as Twitter and Discord.


The idea of "Metamobility" was unveiled at CES 2022.


It's no surprise that everyone wants to be a part of the NFT and Metaverse area, and the newest to join is a company from a completely different business than the others.


Hyundai Motor, one of the top ten automakers in the world, has revealed its intention to join the NFT market in a variety of innovative methods.

Hyundai and NFTs

The firm will collaborate with the 'Meta Kongz' NFT brand to develop its own line of NFTs as well as a concept film. Hyundai created a short video showcasing the Hyundai NFT universe idea 'Metamobility Universe' in the search of uniqueness.


The video serves as a presentation for the company's Metamobility Concept, which was unveiled at the CES 2022 (Consumer Electronics Show).


According to the announcement, Thomas Schemera, Hyundai Motor's Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Customer Experience Division, said, "The Hyundai NFT Universe will extend the Hyundai brand experience in a completely new way, especially with the MZ generation, further reinforcing our commitment to innovation in both the real world and the metaverse." We're really happy to start this adventure with 'Meta Kongz' and present 'Metamobility' via our own NFTs.


The business plans to launch a separate Hyundai NFT website as well as social channels on Discord and Twitter to build its NFT community.


Hyundai will also offer 30 limited edition 'Hyundai x Meta Kongz' NFTs on April 20 to honor the debut of the concept film. This year, the team plans to extend Hyundai's NFT Universe even further.

The Rise of NFTs?

This year, the market has seen a slew of new NFT collections arrive, and the number continues to climb as more brands join the field via various partnerships.


But, although they view this as a chance to expand, the issue is if this space is expanding or whether the NFT bubble is about to burst.


According to statistics from Ethereum's NFT marketplace Opensea, traffic has been increasing over the previous several days. There was a little drop in sales last week, but things are looking up now.


However, if these sales are ever to approach their previous high of $4.9 billion, they will need to expand dramatically.


Although the bubble may not be collapsing, the monthly drop in trading volume and sales suggests waning enthusiasm.
