YouTube star Logan Paul just sold $3.5 million worth of crypto-backed digital art in less than 24 hours.
Paul is collaborating with Bondly, a decentralized product in the Polkadot ecosystem, to create his own line of Pokemon-inspired non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

On the first day of sales, Paul sold 1,772 of his NFTs priced at 1 ETH each, totaling $3,540,456 in revenue.
Paul’s NFT art was sold through the BONDSwap (BSWAP) market, a trading portal that can perform over-the-counter (OTC) transactions on chat apps or social media platforms, and between any blockchains.
Non-fungible tokens have been picking up steam in past months, and Logan Paul might not be the last celebrity to come out with their own collectible NFTs.
