Bruce Lee may no longer be around, but he remained very popular around the world. His movies continue to earn even if it has been almost 50 years since his demise, and this just shows that his name alone is still worth a lot, and not just in the entertainment business.
In fact, Bruce Lee was able to enter the NFT world, which is one of the technologies in this era. Through the actor’s Bruce Lee Estate, his $15 non-fungible token that is being advertised as “your ticket to the House of Lee” was created.
The said estate will establish the legendary martial arts superstar‘s presence in the Web3 space. This was made possible through a collaboration with the NFT-based video platform, Shibuya.
According to Decrypt, the plans for Bruce Lee’s new NFTs and Web3 presence were shared on social media earlier this week. The teaser featured old interview footage of the actor, which was edited to show him transforming into an anime rendering.
Shibuya dropped Lee’s open edition Ethereum NFT this week. Fans can buy an unlimited number of digital tokens for 0.008 ETH or about $15 each before the mint ends today, Friday.
In an update, Shibuya announced that there were 48,691 MINTS in total and thanked everyone who supported the project. The “House of Lee: Genesis” NFT features images of the late actor that were hand-drawn by Emily “pplpleasr” Yang.
The artwork was designed in collaboration with the martial artist’s daughter, Shannon Lee, who is also the founder and president of the Bruce Lee Estate. A representative of Shibuya said that the NFT mint would serve as the first phase of the ongoing Web3 project with the estate, but no other details about it are available at this time.
