Our take
Dapper Labs is a leader in the digital collectables space, best known for NBA Top Shot, a platform where fans can own and trade licensed basketball highlights as NFTs. By combining blockchain technology with fan engagement, Dapper Labs has transformed digital collecting.
The company recently faced a lawsuit claiming its NFTs were unregistered securities, leading to a nearly three-year legal battle. Dapper Labs reached a $4M settlement and agreed to implement compliance measures like employee training and faster payment processes. Despite the challenges, CEO Roham Gharegozlou views the settlement as a step toward regulatory clarity, ensuring continued innovation.
Despite this, the company is set to launch Disney Pinnacle, a digital pin-collecting platform featuring characters from Disney, Pixar, and Star Wars. The new platform will allow fans to collect and trade digital pins on their phones, expanding the company's reach into beloved franchises. With this project, Dapper Labs continues to push the boundaries of fan engagement, cementing its position as a leader in the evolving NFT space.
