On Saturday, 27th March, the crypto.com NFT platform will offer a new way for their fans to own a piece of their history. And the collection of NFTs they’re making available will capture the very first moments of their return to F1.
Boy George also has a drop. Which will display his creativity and bring together animated and still versions of his own paintings together with his iconic music, representing the full breadth of his artistic output.
What are NFTs?
An NFT, or “Non-Fungible Token”, is a type of digital asset. These NFTs are unique and one of a kind and can be bought or sold like any other piece of property or artwork.
In the same way as cryptocurrency, the ownership of your NFT is recorded on a blockchain. Therefore records cannot be forged as it’s maintained by computers all around the world. NFTs can also contain smart contracts that could include royalties for artists for future sales.

Payments with the Crypto.com App are incredibly easy to make. Simply scan the QR code shown on the screen with your crypto.com app and confirm the payment. Plus, this is instant, and there are no network fees to pay.

What can you do with your NFT?
Once you have your NFT, what you do with it is up to you. You can keep it as a collectable, or you can sell it. Any NFTs purchased can be found under “My NFTs”.
Under the “Explore” tab within the platform, you’ll find a host of NFTs being sold by users on Crypto.com NFT. Where you’ll find the editions available to buy, the current owner at a price.
This is great for those who might miss out on a drop and still want to get their hands on these popular NFTs. For those looking to make a bit of money on the artwork that they’ve purchased.

Once you purchase a NFT on Crypto.com, do you know how to transfer the NFT (collectible) to a metamask wallet?
Did you manage to resolve this?
How can I determine when to sell my NFTs ?
Only you can make that choice. It’s highly unlikely that you will be able to time the market. So just take profit when yoO´re happy and don’t be too greedy.
