In recent weeks Cozomo has been continually tweeting his progress in his NFT collection journey. In one of his tweets, he addresses the large sums of money he has used in his famous NFT collection.

NFTs, Celebrities and Its Benefits

NFT, or a non-fungible token, is a unit of data that works as a certificate that a digital asset is different and not interchangeable.  NFTs tokens are stored on the blockchain and supervised by smart contracts. 

Music is a form of art, just like painting or drawing. However, it has not yet penetrated the NFT space. This nifty advancement is likely to trigger research into music as NFT. Soon, we will see music-based NFTs dealings on the OpenSea marketplace.

Many celebrities are getting into the NFTs and crypto crazes. Just recently, Jason Derulo entered the NFT space, making him the first artist to show his interest in NFTs.

More than 13 celebrities have embraced the NFTs and crypto space after him. Despite their vast supporters, there is no mention of how powerful these celebrities will influence the NFTs space soon.

NFTs introduce a new profit-making form that benefits both celebrities and their supporters. 

For example, celebrities can issue a new song or make a drawing, a unique signature, or a music video and turn them into an NFT and benefit financially from them. Fans can buy this art from them through marketplaces like OpenSea – the most significant marketplace.
