“In preparation for Logan Paulโs big Pokemon unboxing, Bondly Finance is excited to collaborate with Logan on launching this limited edition round of NFTs.”
NFTs are gaining traction
Although NFTs attract controversy, this year has seen an explosion of interest in them.
Last week, Christie’s, the world-famous auction house, announced its first-ever digital art NFT auction. The piece, called Everydays – The First 5,000 Days, by renounced digital artist Mike Winklemann, better known as Beeple, opens for bidding February 25 through March 11.
Commenting on the auction, Winklemann pointed out NFTs are turning the traditional art world on its head. He said, most haven’t grasped the scale of the shift taking place right now.
“It’s been a lot to take in.
The rabbit hole of possibilities that this is going to bring to the art worldโI donโt think people are fully recognizing that this is going to be a massive, massive shift.”
On that, IOHK CEO Charles Hoskinson agrees with Winklemann. He reached out to rock legend Gene Simons over the possibility of minting Kiss NFTs. Hoskinson sees this as an ideal opportunity to showcase the tokenization functionality made possible by the up-and-coming Mary hard fork.
Simons recently tweeted his interest in Cardano.
