There’s never a dull moment in the NFT industry, and today has been no different. There have been several stories that hit the tape this morning and over the weekend with some of the biggest being the fact that Macy’s will be launching FREE Thanksgiving Day Parade NFTs and Pokémon, an iconic card game, hit the blockchain over the weekend. Here’s what’s going on:
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade NFTs Coming Soon
If you haven’t heard of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, chances are that you live under a rock. It’s not only the most iconic parade in the United States, it’s arguably the most iconic parade in the world. However, this year’s parade will be coming with a twist.
Fans of the parade won’t only be able to have a collectible piece of memorabilia that they may have caught being thrown from a float as spectators, even those that don’t go will have their chance to get a collectible… in the form of an NFT.
That’s right, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade NFTs are hitting the blockchain.
The collection features 9,500 collectibles that will be given away for free and 10 that will be sold to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. All NFTs included in the collection come with a 10% royalty, but Macy’s won’t be collecting the royalty dollars. Instead, 100% of the royalties on the collection will be automatically donated to Make-A-Wish.
The NFTs in the collection include a wide range of balloons, floats, and characters. Read the article linked to above to learn how to get your hands on one.
Pokémon NFTs Hit the Blockchain
I’m sure you’ve heard of Pokémon. If you’re like me, you’ve spent quite a bit of money buying trading cards, action figures, and movies from the brand for your kids. You may even play the game yourself. For many, the brand doesn’t just represent a cartoon, card game, and mobile app, it represents an adventure.
Now, Pokémon is taking that adventure to the next level, bringing non-fungible tokens into the frey.
The Pokémon collection launched over the weekend with 390 unique characters hitting the blockchain. At the moment, if you want to get your hands on one, you’ll pay about the equivalent of $67 in Ethereum. However, if the collection becomes popular, the collectibles will quickly grow to be worth far more.
The floor price on the collection is based on a tiered system surrounding sales of pieces within it. Once most of the collection has sold, the floor price on the entire collection, being the lowest price you can pay to own one of these tokens, will be increased to 2 ETH, which works out to more than $8,000. However, for fans, it’s not about the investment, it’s about the adventure and the fact that there’s new ways to catch ‘em all!
