NFT Weekly Roundup: Earning Through NFTs, Legendary Muhammad Ali Collectibles, NFT Display in Times Square, and More

The NFT ecosystem is in full bloom, with several renowned names entering the playing field. As more and more artists and creators join the cash-strapped world of NFTs, we’ve got you covered with the latest announcements and launches of the week that are taking the world by storm.

Hashmasks Introduce a Passive Opportunity to Earn

Two of the biggest creative platforms, Terra Virtua and Hashmasks, recently collaborated to launch a unique set of NFTs called the Vflect Hashmasks. Setting a new benchmark in the NFT industry, Terra Virtua and Hashmasks have joined hands to implement a “rolling royalty” framework where Hashmasks NFT owners will be entitled to royalties and proceeds from the forthcoming Vflect Hashmasks Collection sale.

Hashmasks owners need to apply to license their Hashmask to be eligible to earn royalties. With over 16,000 unique Hashmasks and hundreds of special features of each Vflect collectible, this collaboration can generate millions of possible combinations.

Muhammad Ali Enterprises Joins Ethernity to Launch Collection

Ethernity Chain, a blockchain platform with a philanthropic drive, has partnered with the Muhammad Ali Enterprises (MAE) to launch the Muhammad Ali NFT collection. Designed by the renowned digital sculptor Raf Grassetti, the Muhammad Ali NFT collection showcases Ali’s life and legacy. It consists of four NFTs, named GOAT, Wings, Sting, and Float.

Ali had devoted all his life to helping those in need, and Ethernity Chain is focused on supporting charitable causes using blockchain technology, making this collaboration a good fit. Auction for the NFTs has already started on Ethernity Chain’s official website. Part of the proceeds will go to the Muhammad Ali Center, a non-profit museum and cultural center dedicated to the legendary boxer.
