Chevrolet's First NFT Draws Zero Bids Even Though It's Accompanied by a Corvette
American automaker Chevrolet has seen (nearly) zero interest in its first non-fungible token (NFT) event, even though it's promised to come with a free 2023 Corvette Z06.
Dubbed "Own the Color," the NFT displays a lime green Corvette Z06 and was created by digital artist Nick Sullo, who goes by xsullo online.
The auction started on June 20 via the NFT marketplace SuperRare. According to the auction description page, the opening bid was ETH 206 (USD 235,550).
The potential winner would have also received a unique “Minted Green” Corvette Z06, which would be the only car painted in that color, as well as an option code RFN, which would “forever associate” the car with the NFT auction.
As intriguing as it sounds though, the auction netted zero bids during the first period between June 20 to June 24.
