LOS ANGELES -- Businesswire -- Today, The Worldwide Asset eXchange™ (WAX), the world’s leading entertainment NFT network, announced that Funko, a leading pop culture consumer products company, plans to extend Funko’s pop culture platform to include digital assets on the Blockchain.
Beginning in June of this year, Funko expects to launch their initial collectible NFT offerings using WAX’s powerful blockchain platform, which ensures verifiable authenticity for all NFT purchases. WAX’s unique vIRL™ technology will enable Funko’s physical collectibles to be owned and traded as digital items with added value.
At a starting price point of $9.99, pop culture fans will be able to purchase packs of NFTs featuring Funko’s unique stylizations. Collectors who score ultra-rare Funko NFTs will also be able to redeem those NFTs for exclusive, corresponding physical Funko figures. Collectors can look forward to a new unique Funko property to be released on the WAX platform each week.
