Basketball.fun is issuing refunds to users who didn't want to wait for the market to launch; NBA star Klay Thompson has withdrawn from the project.

CoinFeed reported on March 11 that, according to Decrypt, the NBA-themed crypto project Basketball.fun is processing refunds for buyers of digital card packs who are unwilling to wait for its marketplace platform to launch next month. The project began allowing users to purchase digital player card packs featuring NBA players in January, but users are currently unable to sell or trade these assets. The project's co-founder stated that 24 refund requests have been received, totaling less than $2,000. The company is also offering a 10% holding bonus to users willing to wait until the NBA playoffs begin trading in April. NBA player Tristan Thompson, who previously served as an advisor to the project, has left the project. Thompson stated that he was proud to help support the vision in its early stages but is no longer actively involved as the platform continues to evolve.
