Marvel to Launch Spider-Man NFTs This Week — NFT Comic, 'Super-D Figures' to Follow

On August 5, Orbis Blockchain Technologies Limited and Marvel Entertainment kicked off the Veve Digital Collectibles’ “Marvel Month” celebration. The two companies plan to issue the first non-fungible token (NFT) assets featuring the Marvel Super Hero, Spider-Man.

The Orbis Veve App and Marvel to Launch the First Spider-Man Statue NFTs

This week, Spider-Man and non-fungible token (NFT) fans will be able to purchase and interact with a set of five unique digital statues of Marvel’s Spider-Man on August 7 at 8 a.m. (PT).

Marvel to Launch Spider-Man NFTs This Week — NFT Comic, 'Super-D Figures' to Follow
Three out of the five different Spider-Man NFTs due to launch on August 7, 2021.

Marvel and Veve say that the Spider-Man series of statues is just the beginning, as NFTs like a unique Marvel Comics Issue #1 from 1939 will be released. “Each version will have a different cover and a different level of rarity and offered in a ‘blind box’ format for $6.99,” the announcement details. An exclusive line of “Super-D figures” from Marvel will be revealed on the Veve application as well. “Each digital figure will have a different level of rarity and will also be sold in a blind box format for $13.00,” Marvel says.

“Spider-Man is one of the most legendary Super Heroes in the Marvel Universe, so there was no better way to kick off our global digital collectibles experience with Veve,” Dan Buckley, the president of Marvel Entertainment remarked in a statement. “We can’t wait to bring Marvel fans and collectors even more exciting drops throughout August and beyond.”

Marvel’s arch-rival DC Comics will be releasing NFT someday in the future as well, as the comic book creator hinted at releasing DC Comics NFTs at some point in time. The only reason the public found out about this information is because DC Comics’ legal expert told artists and comic book freelancers not to produce DC Comics-related NFTs without permission.

It seems, at least for now, Marvel Entertainment has beat DC Comics to the NFT race and the comic book creator will have to catch up.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 . Additionally, estimates also show that there’s roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold that is accounted for and enters into the fin...
