In June, Chevrolet was hoping to cash in on the windfall that saw a non-fungible token made with Steve Aoki and packaged with the last Lamborghini Aventador. It offered a NFT with a car theme.
A digital image of a Corvette Z06 in a Blade Runner-style cityscape was used by Chevy to match the artwork. Even after the sale was extended by a day, the acid-green duo didn't get a single bid. The endeavor is described as "very educational" by a spokesman for the company.
Chevrolet will eventually get into digital assets. The fiasco is still a stark example of the NFT market. The average sale price for an ether NFT dropped to $391 on July 14 from $2,436 in May.
The ride isn't over even though the brakes are pumped. A number of companies have announced projects.
The drop in prices may cast doubts about the long-term usefulness of NFTs at companies built on real-world tangible assets.
Alex Micol is the founder of Scalers Agency and the NFT-based community Divergents Key.
NFTs can be used to build a community of fans and collectors.
Micol says that car companies should focus on the user's value with their NFTs. Don't give away a car to someone you don't know. An invitation to an exclusive event is a real value. Access to a community should be provided.
The kind given at sporting events do this well. Proof of attendance protocols, or POAPs, can be used to brag that you have been to every Dallas Mavericks game. There are limited-edition runs and authenticators for commodities as well. NFTs are being used to secure bags and watches in the fashion industry. A sense of camaraderie is generated by access to special events and other exclusive content.
As a brand who knows what consumers like, I have to figure out how to create an experience that lets them showcase that this is a part of their identity. The man says it.
This is accomplished by Mercedes-AMG's Race Collection of NFT Ticket Stubs. The brand created 2,500 numbered Ticket Stubs each for most races, with five races having 1,000 rare editions in collaboration with different artists.
Smaller ambitions may be needed.
The first widescale NFT was sold byPorsche for about $90,000. The NFT program was announced at the press conference. The deputy chairman of the executive board of the company said that they intended to sell original NFTs. You can expect high quality products.
Since then, the site has been titled "Launching Soon" Something is currently being created and there are no live NFT auctions or additional activities planned atPorsche.
The Genesis NFT will be the first product from the brand and will be tied to the vehicle's VIN.
He says that the Genesis NFT has modest expectations for revenue. What is possible is still being learned by us.
