And it appears that it is has kicked off its foray with an exclusive NFT rendition of Spidey, which will be available via the VeVe digital marketplace.
The collection will include five different versions of Spider-Man striking five unique poses and will range from "common" collectibles made available to 32,000 buyers to "secret-rare" pieces of which there will only be 1000 of.
