According to Bloomberg, the two comic book giants\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> have made it illegal for artists to sell NFTs of the characters they create for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Marvel and DC are reportedly planning to use their vast collections of comic book art to tap into the growing NFT market, which could be a new market for selling collectibles. Marvel has already dabbled in the NFT market, offering digital souvenirs of the Spider-Man character in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marvel and DC may be depriving creators of a key cash stream by prohibiting them from selling derivative works based on their comic book inventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the lack of significant payments to comic book artists from the success of derivative media such as Hollywood movies based on their superheroes has sparked some debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the VeVe platform<\/a>, however, Marvel plans to provide secondary revenue opportunities for artists and creators, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sale of nonfungible tokens by Marvel and DC is part of a larger trend in which prominent franchises are interacting with the nonfungible token sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFTs Marketplace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The NFT market has grown from obscurity to become a prominent sector of the growing digital economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By launching digital collectibles and acquiring popular NFTs, corporate brands have begun to target the NFT space. Visa, the world's largest credit card company, invested $150,000 in Crypto Punk<\/a> #7610 in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The massive growth seen during the summer months, however, appears to have slowed significantly, with NFT volume on OpenSea down 50%, as previously reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from trading activity, sales and floor prices of “blue-chip NFTs” fell dramatically in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
