Speaking about his new collection, the cricketer says, ”NFTs in cricket are allowing us to connect with our fans like never before. I am happy to partner with Colexion to share precious tokens from my cricketing journey with the people who have loved and encouraged me every step of the way. Developing a digital avatar for us to be able to connect and share our love for cricket is a powerful concept, and Colexion has enabled me to take my first steps in this world.” Abhay Aggarwal, CEO of Colexion, welcomed Yuvraj by saying, ”The premium NFT collection of Yuvraj Singh will be an opportunity for the fans to engage with their all-time favorite star. We’ll launch an autographed cricket bat along with a 3D statue of the cricketer, providing an exclusive opportunity to fans to own his digital collectibles.

Colexion enables fans to witness this historic event and become a part of this massive revolution.

This I hope will make us a trustworthy brand and also inspire more celebrities to align with us as their active involvement makes a huge difference in the world of NFTs.”

Colexion is known for creating exclusive NFTs of well-established celebrities. The fact that the artwork is selling at such a reasonable price also shows that such art is about to gain more mainstream acceptance. Not only this, Yuvi’s fans have additionally created his first-ever DAO- ‘Yuvi DAO’ as a gesture of love and support. The DAO is one of the world’s first-ever collector’s DAO in the Sports & Entertainment segment, bringing all entertainment fans to Web 3. Launched with the leading marketplace Colexion on Polygon, the exclusive collection is the most in-demand NFT to foray into the world of digital collectibles. It is highly likely that this personalised DAO will attract bidding from leading investors to acquire the rare collection.

DAOs can be thought of as friends on the internet with a shared checking account. In recent times, India has witnessed an exponential growth in demand for NFTs, with more and more celebrities jumping on the bandwagon. Among the most notable ones are megastars like Glen Maxwell, Brendon Mccullum, Pankaj Advani, Salim-Sulaiman, Dwayne Bravo, Aamir Ali, and much more, continuously adding players to its never-ending list of profound celebrities and personalities from the world of entertainment, lifestyle, and sports.

With sales of NFTs soaring to record highs, this launch is yet another sign of just how fierce the market has become. Asia’s most significant marketplace is said to cater to these rising demands through exclusive collaborations and the largest NFT drops. There are many NFT DAOs already on the scene, having made flashy purchases in January in the run-up to NFT mania.

So far, hundreds have already signed up on the Colexion site to take part in the upcoming NFT auction. The Colexion’s affordable yet premium NFT collection comes when digital art and NFTs have witnessed a massive rise in value. NFTs have emerged as an opportunity for users to own a unique asset that’s one of its kind in the world.
Moreover, the bandwagon of celebrities, athletes, gamers, and artists who have jumped into the NFT space to experiment with their fate on the blockchain is something worth promising. In short, what the world is currently witnessing is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a revolution brimming.
