The Younger LVMH Generation Joins the NFT Cryptopunk Community
Just days after his father signalled wariness over the metaverse “bubble effects” Alexandre Arnault has changed his profile picture to an NFT. The picture is displayed on both Twitter and Instagram profiles and shows a Cryptopunks PFP of a beanie-wearing pixelated face with an earring, knitted cap and 3D glasses.
Alexandre’s father, LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, likened the metaverse to the early 2000s internet boom during the LVMH annual earnings call last week. “Let’s be wary of bubble effects,” he said, adding, “It is not our objective to sell virtual sneakers at €10.”
Ethereum’s bot tracking has valued the PFP (profile picture) at Eth 160 (around $416,400). LVMH confirmed Alexandre Arnault’s profile picture change was legitimate.
This decision signifies Arnault’s membership in the Web 3.0 community for the foreseeable future. Thibault Launay, the founder of Exclusible, which has built an NFT marketplace for luxury brands, also tweeted a confirmation of this.

How location data in a cookieless Web 3.0 and how it can benefit your business
Web 3.0 will allow users to take control of their data. Location data can no longer be used as an analytics product, don’t give their precise location away that easily, or that often, any longer. But location is still a viable planning currency and can be used for measurement, to lessen advertising’s impact on the environment, and algorithms. If anything, location will become a large part of how Web 3.0 operates.
Scalable, anonymized, and accurate operator data can show where your audience is, nationwide, and when they’re there. It can be leveraged by any media channel to inform planning, pinpoint buying and measure effects.
