Chronicle is making a digital collectible platform based on NFTs.

Chronicle raises $3.2M for fan-focused, NFT-based digital collectibles cards

Chronicle has raised $3.2 million to create a fan-friendly marketplace for digital collectible cards based on nonfungible tokens (NFTs).

NFTs have exploded in other applications such as art, sports collectibles, and music. NBA Top Shot (a digital take on collectible basketball cards) is one example. Built by Dapper Labs, NBA Top Shot has surpassed $540 million in sales, just six months after going public. And an NFT digital collage by the artist Beeple sold at Christie’s for $69.3 million. Gaming has a couple of new unicorns, or startups valued at $1 billion, in Animoca Brands and Forte. NFTs are now selling at a rate of $247.8 million a month, though the initial hype around NFTs is dying down.
