NFTs Could Change The Game For Indie Filmmakers

NFTs Could Change The Game For Indie Filmmakers

NFT, , ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT Movie and TV merchandising, which includes sales of such collectible items as movie posters, ticket stubs, director’s cut special DVDs, and so forth, is a huge source of extra revenue for movie studios and is expected to grow by a whopping 79.07 billion dollars by 2025! Remember how the rise of streaming services quickly eclipsed DVD? Well, NFTs are now poised to do the very same thing in the movie collectible market. On A Wing And A Prayer First of all, Niels Juul, who was the executive producer of Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, is planning to make the first Hollywood…

Who Will Win The NFT Games?

Who Will Win The NFT Games?

NFT, , , , ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT There seem to be two distinctly different camps when it comes to NFTs in video games. One camp is ready to embrace them, but there is another camp that is less than fond of the idea. People are already paying plenty of money for in-game items. According to research done just last year by Super Data, a whopping 90 billion dollars (yes, with a B!) was spent by gamers on what are known as microtransactions, mostly in the form of fancy weapon skins or new costumes. So the gaming industry already knows the market is there. Ubisoft Leads The…

How Can You Be Sure NFTs Are Here To Stay?

NFT, , , , , , , , , ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT If you are like many people, you may be wondering if NFTs are just a passing fad, flash-in-the-pan kind of thing, or are they really here to stay? We can get some clues by observing what big corporations are doing! It’s one thing for your average Joe or Jane to hop into the NFT game, but when big players such as Coca-Cola, Walmart, Mercedes-Benz, Crocs, and even the NFL are getting in on the action, it’s time to at least start paying attention.

The First NFT Museum

The First NFT Museum

NFT, ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT Although NFTs are swarming all over the art world, there are no museums or other physical institutions devoted exclusively to this art form. Until now, that is! The opening of the Seattle NFT Museum this month changed all that, opening space to champion NFT digital artists. The Museum was founded by two tech executives, Jennifer Wong and Peter Hamilton, a husband and wife duo, who admit they are novices when it comes to NFTs but they are ready to learn. To Go Where No NFT Has Gone Before! Their aim is to enable the exploration of…

The Superbowl Of NFTs

The Superbowl Of NFTs

NFT, , ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT Got plans to attend the February 13th Superbowl title game in Los Angeles? If so, you’re in luck because the NFL will also be offering all ticketed attendees an NFT, customized with your SoFi Stadium seat number! So far, the NFL offerings will be collectibles only but rumor has it that league executives are seriously considering adding fan access and possibly experiences to NFT offerings in the future.  The NFL is big business, and you can be sure that executives are not going to allow themselves to get sacked by missing out on this opportunity. This coming Superbowl will be…

Walmart Gets In The NFT Game

NFT, , , ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT First, it was Coca-Cola, then Crocs. Don’t look now, but mega big-box retailer Walmart is about to jump into the NFT game! A Hint At Walmart's Plans Walmart’s management has not announced its plans, but according to filings with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office), the retail giant has big plans.  Not only are they going to create their own cryptocurrency (Walcoin?!) as well as meet customers in the metaverse, Walmart is apparently also going to be releasing a series of NFTs.   A Big Box Move This move will allow Walmart to tokenize physical goods as well as create potential…

Watch Out! Crocs Are Coming With NFTs

Watch Out! Crocs Are Coming With NFTs

NFT, , ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT We recently told you about how the iconic brand Coca-Cola cashed in with an open NFT auction that raised an eye-popping $575,883.61. Now the ever-popular Crocs brand appears to be getting poised to take action in the NFT space. Now the Crocs company has not made an announcement, at least not yet, but they signaled their intentions on January 11th by filing a USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) application reserving non-fungible tokens of Crocs “footwear, clothing, bags, accessories, and charms for decorating” according to the filing, which is public. Move over, Coca-Cola! But they went…

NFTs And Coca-Cola – It’s The Real Thing!

NFT, ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT Seems like everyone is getting into the NFT space these days, and it’s not just hearsay. Earlier this year, soft drink giant Coca-Cola auctioned off a collection of four NFTs uniquely packaged to attract buyers.  So how did Coca-cola structure its NFTs? For International Friendship Day on July 30th, Coco-Cola offered four distinctive multisensory NFTs, auctioned as one lot: One - A custom-designed futuristic Coca-Cola Bubble Jacket, which includes an unlockable version that can be “worn” in a 3D virtual reality metaverse Two - The Friendship Box is a reimagining of the vintage Coco-Cola cooler as a loot box. Three - The…
