Pop Culture Meets NFTs
It’s been quite a week for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), with some major brands diving headfirst into this vibrant digital ocean. Let’s kick things off with Pepsi! The folks at Pepsi have decided to launch their own collection of unique NFTs, celebrating their rich heritage in a rather innovative way.
Pepsi’s Mic Drop Genesis Collection
Teaming up with VaynerNFT, Pepsi is unveiling a collection called Mic Drop, featuring 1,893 generative NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Why 1,893? Because that’s the year Pepsi was born! Creative, right? The customers will only be responsible for gas fees while Pepsi works its magic to ease those pesky costs with a waitlist until December 14.
In addition, these NFTs are not just digital doodads; they’re rooted in Pepsi’s iconic history. Each design pulls inspiration from classic flavors like the refreshing blue of a classic Pepsi, the sleek silver of Diet Pepsi, and the bold red of Wild Cherry. Talk about a fizzy nostalgia trip!
“NFTs will change the culture of value creation forever,” says Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of VaynerNFT.
Pepsi is even contributing to Mother Earth with a carbon offset initiative for the launch. Now that’s refreshing.
Mystery in Every Box: 1inch x Parts of Four
On the cryptographic front, 1inch and Parts of Four have concocted a spellbinding **Mystery Box** drop. Debuting on December 13 at the Binance NFT Marketplace, this collaboration will see 22,000 NFTs minted with various levels of sophistication, going for 25 BUSD each. Fancy!
These aren’t your run-of-the-mill NFTs — they’re inspired by Parts of Four’s catalog, using an alchemy-based approach to fashion digital jewelry. If you’re a fan of virtual accessory games, this drop will merge gaming with avant-garde aesthetics as part of their upcoming Greater Metaverse expansion.
Touchdown with Tom Brady
The world’s favorite gridiron quarterback, Tom Brady, has thrown his hat into the NFT ring with a limited-edition collection named “Live Forever: The Tom Brady Origins Collection.” This set contains 16,000 collectibles representing memories from his illustrious career, including items like his original resume and even his NFL combine jersey.
However, here’s the kicker — when fans buy these obscure collectibles, they won’t know exactly what they’re getting until December 14! Mystery and sports combine; does it get any more thrilling?
Color Me Surprised: Tezos x Pantone
On the artistic end, Pantone has partnered with Tezos to launch the Color of the Year 2022. Enter PANTONE 17-3938, Very Peri! This vibrant hue, crafted specifically for this designation, will be highlighted through NFTs. The digital collection will be brought to life through the talents of artist Polygon1993, allowing color fanatics and art lovers alike to bask in its glory.
The Good, The Bad, and the Nifty News
While it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, the world of NFTs does have its share of drama. Ubisoft’s NFT platform **Ubisoft Quartz** has met with massive backlash, sporting a staggering 96 percent dislike ratio on its launch video. Ouch! Moving on to brighter news, the metaverse has reached phenomenal sales, with virtual land swiftly accumulating over $300 million this December. Who knew owning a slice of digital real estate could be this lucrative?
