A source with the league told CoinDesk that the NFL is “experimenting and trying different things to gauge consumer reaction.”
The NFL partnered with Dapper Labs in September with plans to create its own NFT collectible marketplace on the Flow blockchain, similar to the company’s NBA Top Shot product. The marketplace is expected to be released during the current NFL regular season, which wraps on Jan. 9.
