XCOPY's latest NFT creation makes waves in the digital art world
- 'Chatbot and Chill?' by @XCOPYART sold for 800 ETH (approximately $1.9 million)
- This sale challenges the notion that 'NFTs are dead'
- The artwork's significant value demonstrates continued interest in high-profile NFT pieces
Context:
- Earlier success: Ubisoft's Warlords NFTs for Champions Tactics sold out rapidly in December 2023
- Resale values for Ubisoft's NFTs reached $600+, indicating sustained market demand
These sales suggest that while the NFT market has evolved, there's still substantial interest and value in unique digital artworks from renowned creators.
“Chatbot and Chill?” by @XCOPYART sells for 800eth (1.9m) But NFTs are dead though, right?
