Previously in October, actor Anthony Hopkins’ NFT collection dropped selling out in a record 7 minutes. That record was then broken by Pippen’s 1,000 NFTs, selling out in just 77 seconds on Tuesday (December 20). Such rapid sales also mean that Pippen’s NFTs outstripped not only actor Anthony Hopkins but also former President Donald Trump’s collection.
CEO and co-founder Dave Broome of Orange Comet, the company behind both the former NBA legend and actor Anthony Hopkins’s NFTs, said in a statement:
“After an amazing year for Orange Comet, selling out this iconic NFT collection and beating our previous record with Sir Anthony Hopkins’ drop is an incredible way to close out 2022 and a true testament to the work our team puts into the creation of these collections.”
Orange Comet’s Pippen collection, basically is digital sneakers, presenting the company’s first foray into releasing a line of “digital wearables,” called “Metawear.”
According to data from OpenSea, as of the moment, Pippen’s collection has brought in more than $240,000 in sales.
NFT sales volume, in US dollars, has plummeted amid a prolonged crypto winter, making it increasingly difficult to successfully launch new collections.
Like Trump’s NFT, Scottie Pippen’s NFT buyers will be entered into a sweepstakes program with the opportunity to win access to various special events. Of Pippen’s 1,000 NFT holders, 33 will receive a pair of physical speakers, a holder, and a lucky guest who will be invited to visit Pippen’s hometown.
Big brands and artists are hoping that more mainstream consumers will embrace NFT if they offer consumers perks or the chance to win prizes.
