The FIBA NFT collection is tailored to engage the Basketball World Cup’s host countries – Japan, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The digital collectibles aim to encapsulate the spirit of the event and will launch on August 21st.
The collection features four unique offerings for both basketball fans and NFT collectors. “Fan’s Frenzy” provides an accessible commemorative NFT. “National Pride” showcases designs for each of the 32 competing national teams. “Ultimate Courtside” focuses on basketball history in an edition of 1,500 units. “Golden Glory” is a special NFT for holders of the winning team’s “National Pride” token.
The NFTs will be available on FIBA’s Shopify store, minted on the Polygon blockchain through Venly Wallet. As the 2023 World Cup approaches, this fusion of sports, tech, and collectibles promises a new fan experience.
NFT Slump Creates Uncertain Market
Just weeks ago in early August, DappRadar reported an NFT market slump despite fresh investments and partnerships. However, a turnaround could still occur. In the past, basketball and sports NFTs have attracted substantial interest.
For example, NBA Top Shot NFTs generated over $1 billion in sales according to CryptoSlam. However, legal issues emerged around selling these unregistered securities.
In today’s crypto winter and uncertain regulatory environment, it’s unclear if a promising new NFT launch with strong partners can succeed. But the potential remains for a market rebound given the right conditions.
