“When Tom (Brady) and everybody at Autograph approached my team, I was happy, because I know this is the way things are going and that everything is going online,” said Bolt. “It’s sports memorabilia, but one that is most easily accessible for fans.”
Bolt holds several records in sprinting and multiple gold medals across four Olympic appearances. Images from his iconic races will surely be sought after once they go live.
The Future Of NFTs
As the market continues to boom, fans can expect more iconic athletes to join the NFT world. Bolt himself says that the internet is the future of sports memorabilia and that it’s an easier way for fans to access them.
While NFTs are still a niche market, some images have sold for millions during the first few years of being an active industry. As the online sportsbook market gradually grew in popularity, the NFT market can see a similar path to success.
