Marvel partners with VeVe for all of its NFT ventures
Marvel NFTs are non-fungible tokens sold in official partnership with Marvel Entertainment. Marvel began selling NFTs in August of 2021.
History[]
Marvel announced in June 2021 that it would be entering the NFT industry for the first time through a partnership with the digital marketplace app, VeVe. The action was said to be focused on giving purchasers the ability to collect digital goods in the same way that they collected physical items. VeVe's app allowed users to view purchased NFTs in AR and VR, as well as to other users through digital showrooms.[1][2] Less than two months later, Marvel released its first set of NFTs onto the VeVe platform, a set of five differently posed Spider-Man digital 3D models. Each model was priced between $40 and $400 apiece in their initial offering.[3] These were shortly followed by digital versions of classic Marvel comics that were readable within the VeVe app set for sale within the same month.[4]
In August 2022, Marvel and VeVe sold three single copies of digital variant comic book cover artwork for $1,500 each.[5]
