Hasbro recently launched its first-ever NFT collection featuring a special edition collection of Power Rangers NFTs on the Worldwide Asset eXchange (WAX) blockchain. This platform, in particular, was chosen as an accessible way for fans to get started with NFTs and digital collectibles and Kwamina Crankson, Vice President and General Manager at Hasbro Pulse, notes, "Now, fans will have the opportunity to expand their collections with a unique Power Rangers NFT, uniquely transacted through the blockchain that can be redeemed for a special edition Dino Megazord."
NFTs speak to a new generation of collectors who want to verify the authenticity of their collectibles, take pride in a unique sense of ownership or trade them and continue to expand their collection.
