“Spider-Man is one of the most legendary superheroes in the Marvel Universe, so there was no better way to kick off our global digital collectibles experience with Veve…We can’t wait to bring Marvel fans and collectors even more exciting drops throughout August and beyond.”, said Dan Buckley, the president of Marvel Entertainment.
NFT market’s evolution in 2021
The Non-Fungible Token market has gained raging popularity in the second half of 2021. The trend has taken over all market spheres, from traditional auction houses and multi-million-dollar art galleries; to commercial giants like Coca-Cola, Sports legends, and even High-fashion brands.
Today, the NFTs that are getting support from entertainment giants, were launching at high risk regardless of intellectual property claims at the beginning of 2021.
DC Comics sent a letter to freelancers this March, warning against selling tokenized versions of their intellectual property on blockchain networks. The open letter was issued to freelancers from Jay Kogan, DC Comics’ senior VP of legal affairs. The letter stated that DC is working up towards entering the market of non-fungible tokens, but creators are not allowed to sell DC’s intellectual property with or without NFTs, lacking the company’s permission.
