DraftKings’ (NASDAQ: DKNG) mainstream accessible non-fungible token (“NFT”) ecosystem received enormous fanfare as all five Tom Brady Premier Preseason Access Collection drops provided by Autograph sold out immediately. According to the update, each respective drop across the Carbon, Platinum, Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby editions were all purchased instantly via primary sales at accessible prices ranging from $12-$100. Also seeing tremendous engagement, the secondary transactions market saw thousands of users list and sell NFTs amounting to over $1 million in gross merchandise volume (“GMV”). “Our goal is to build a highly accessible experience that introduces millions to the world of digital collectibles through DraftKings Marketplace, and so I would like to thank our community for the tremendous support of yesterday’s opening day drops,” said Matt Kalish, co-founder and president of DraftKings, in the Aug. 12 press release. “The feedback on user experience has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans queueing up to be a part of this initial NFT drop at multiples of the supply offered. This was an absolute success and important first milestone toward meeting our long-term objectives for the platform.”
