Popular Brands Nike, Adidas and Pepsi Realise Over $220 Million in Joint NFT Trading Volume
Brands and companies joining the NFT space have utilized two main approaches: either launch branded collections of their own making or purchase already existing NFT brands. However, regardless of the choice in approach, it is evident that popular brands are actively getting involved within the NFT space and are gradually realizing the benefits and values that NFTs have now or in the future.
Nike’s RTFKT collection, known as the CloneX, was able to secure top positions within the DappRadar NFT Rankings within the last seven days. Together with CloneX Mintvials, CloneX was able to not only realize the majority share of the trading volume within the NFT space but also record various expensive sales. CloneX has grown to become one of the most popular collections within the last several weeks.
