Back in April, the World Poker Tour (WPT) announced they were getting into the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) by releasing poker “moments,” much like NBA Top Shot has done. Now, one poker player is following in the footsteps of Rob Gronkowski and other stars by releasing his own NFT collection.
Phil Ivey, fresh off winning the $25K WPT Heads-Up Championship, has partnered with Ethernity Chain and Impossible Brief to release an officially-licensed NFT collection, one that commemorates the Poker Hall of Famer’s career achievements.
“With Phil Ivey being the icon that he is, we hope that poker will lead by Phil’s example by choosing to embrace the future of collectibles,” Ethernity Chain said in an announcement.
