Years after NFTs first began to become widely known amongst the general public, it’s now become commonplace for celebrities to dip their toe into the world of cryptocurrency and digital tokens, and Heidi Klum has just become the latest in a long line that includes Matt Damon, Lindsay Lohan and Tom Brady.
In a new interview with Artnet, the famous model, who has long painted on the side, revealed that she will be releasing a series of 10 paintings based on the now-famous Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs, a collection of unique digital tokens that have fetched as much as $1.22 million at auction.
This is a bit of the update to the celebrity pattern when it comes to NFTs: thus far, the rich and famous have mostly touted their involvement with the blockchain world by minting NFTs of their own, rather than making original art based off of NFTs.
