Remember Naomi Osaka‘s NFT project launched in April? The tennis star has since become an advocate for mental health in sports and one of her non-fungible tokens will be resold, with a portion of the proceeds going to Athletes for Hope, an organization founded in 2007 by high-profile athletes such as Muhammad Ali, Mia Hamm, Andre Agassi, Jeff Gordon, Warrick Dunn, Alonzo Mourning and Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
Auction projected to set record for single NFT sale by a professional athlete
The first five pieces from the art collection that Naomi Osaka created together with her sister Mari were collectively sold for nearly $600,000, with one piece bringing in more than $200,000.
