How Sports Personalities Have Embraced NFTs
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have expanded beyond virtual currencies to include assets related to real-life experiences, such as sports. In early 2021, NFL star Rob Gronkowski introduced a collection of Super Bowl Cards, marking the beginning of sports NFTs. The popularity of fantasy sports NFT platforms has grown, with around 35% of e-sports enthusiasts expressing interest in collecting NFTs for enjoyment or potential financial gains.
