NFTs are on a rise among stars

Now, so many celebrities from distinct fields are involved in the NFT space. The range is quite wide starting from Paris Hilton, the Weeknd, Snoop Dogg, Tom Brady and many-many more.

This year we saw a huge development in NFTs, Metaverse and Blockchain games altogether. Significantly, the NFT industry is valued at over $7 billion.

Although, many speculations around the utility of NFTs still remain. Given that, many NFT projects are trying to eliminate this problem by attaching some intrinsic value to their NFTs. We saw this in the case of Miss Universe, RTFKT new collection, Nifty Ville and numerous other projects.

The NFT community is also going very strong. Meanwhile, many brands such as Adidas, Coca-cola, Pepsi are stepping into the NFT world. Only time will tell the influence of corporations at NFTs.
