Here are 10 memes that were marketed as NFTs and sold for huge money

Not so long ago, the average individual was unaware of what an NFT was. The fact that they sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars generates news. People are rapidly learning about NFTs, as anticipated. NFT memes refer to internet memes turned into NFT tokens, unique digital assets verified on a blockchain. These NFTs enable the meme's original authors to validate and profit from their work. It's pretty challenging to make money being a meme. Despite the challenges, some memes were traded for a reasonable amount. In this article, we gathered 10 memes that were marketed as NFTs at a considerable price.

The selling of the Nyan Cat NFT was a turning point for the NFT community as it was the first meme to sell for such a high amount. The legitimacy of digital art transactions as NFTs was aided by this transaction.

The frog Pepe- A green animatronic frog sold as an NFT for $1 million in May 2021 and became a meme and a symbol for the alt-right.
