What’s going on with Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ:BBIG) today? Shares of BBIG stock are up over 8% this morning and are slated to have their second green day in a row. The digital marketing and consumer products company is currently in the midst of a change up. Last September, Vinco Ventures announced that it would launch Cryptyde as a separate entity to Vinco Ventures. Cryptyde will focus on consumer-facing blockchain innovations through “selective acquisitions.” Since September, there have been few updates about Cryptyde and when it will officially launch. However, a new amended Form 10 filing received yesterday has BBIG stock investors excited about the future.
