NFT Popularity Keeps Surging
NFTs are not merely traded by private individuals anymore. Many of the most successful firms are aware of the role that NFTs play in influencing the future cultural landscape.
Disney has already joined the NFT space. Also, the very first NFT collection from Adidas is already out. Recently, Nike completed the acquisition of an NFT brand. Meanwhile, Visa shelled out $150,000 to get the rights to use one of the first CryptoPunks.
NFTs are not a hot topic for crypto investors alone. The NFT craze has even snared a slew of A-listers and professional athletes.
On social media, Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber, Steve Aoki, Post Malone, and Eminem have all shown off their NFTs. Steph Curry, Neymar Jr., and Serena Williams are some professional athletes who are into NFTs.
NFTs' Different Forms
You would be very much mistaken if you believed that contemporary art sales are the only NFT transactions. A wide variety of different kinds of NFTs sell for millions of dollars. Some of these NFTs include sound effects, while others include clips from sporting events. Even tweets have their market.
Valuable is a marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, sold his very first tweet using it as a marketplace. This tweet went for more than $2.9 million fifteen years after the author first posted it with the message "just setting up my Twittr."
Sina Estavi, the buyer of the tweet, made his comments after winning the bid. He said one of his goals was to promote collaboration between the charitable sector and the crypto industry.
