Digital assets are here to stay! Though the trend is some years old, it gained credibility and importance in recent times after celebrities joined the bandwagon. The latest to enter the NFT (non-fungible token) domain is none other than Sunny Leone. With this, she became the first Indian actress to enter the club that has stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth as its members.
What is the 'Misfitz' collection by Leone?
Leone recently launched her digital assets, Misfitz, through a website and her collection consisting of almost 10,000 NFTs was sold out in no time. A unique set of hand-animated art, Misfitz is a collaborative effort of the actress and Mintdropz. Whenever someone buys her NFT, she gets paid an amount in cryptocurrencies. Notably, NFT is booming and some are worth millions.
'This was a private sale and it sold out immediately'
While speaking to IANS, the Mastizaade actress said, "This was a private sale and it sold out immediately. I am beyond excited about the hype behind my collection and the support from the community." "In many ways, I'm myself a misfit so there wasn't anything that's more appropriate than this collection." In the coming months, Leone will be seen in several South Indian films.
