On March 28, the Aston Martin Cognizant team will unveil its NFT collection to mark its return to Formula 1 after 60 years.
At the same time, the social media platform Nifty’s has attracted investments from billionaire Mark Cuban and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin.
As reported, the digital artist Beeple was spooked by Ethereum’s volatility and converted the record revenue from selling the NFT “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” into US dollars. After deducting auction house fees and taxes, he received $53 million.
Interest in NFTs has nearly reached the ICO mania of 2017.
Earlier, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey sold his first tweet as an NFT for $2.91 million. The buyer of the lot was Sina Estavi, founder of Bridge Oracle.
