Accordingly, speculators are bidding up shares in everything directly, or indirectly, tied to this growth segment.
Why YVR Stock Is Surging Higher Today
- Liquid Media bills itself as a media and entertainment company. Additionally, it’s the only Canadian entertainment studio on the Nasdaq.
- The company provides a range of video game titles, visual effects/production services, as well as an on-demand video platform.
- Accordingly, its plans to leverage its IP into media franchises appears to be taking hold.
- The company recently announced a distribution agreement with Atari. The company will have its video-on-demand distribution platform SlipStream downloadable on the all-new Atari VCS PC/console hybrid under the arrangement.
- So, what does this have to do with NFTs? Well, Atari recently signed a deal with Bondly for gaming NFTs.
- Indeed, it appears the potential for Liquid Media’s games to be turned into highly sought-after NFTs has made speculators salivate.
- YVR stock has been making its rounds on social media of late. Various retail investors seem to be giving this stock credence as a “junior meme stock” right now.

With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That’s because these “penny stocks” are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that InvestorPlace.com’s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.
