 <p class="is-style-lead">The recently unveiled “Masterpiece” <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="collection" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/collection.html">collection</a>, a curated assembly of digital artwork endorsed by Coca-Cola, generated $543,660 in proceeds from Coinbase’s “Onchain Summer” event.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>The event, dedicated to celebrating the inaugural emergence of the Base blockchain, witnessed fervent interest as more than 80,000 collectors zealously acquired eight distinct digital works over the course of 72 hours.</p> 
 <p>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="collection" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/collection.html">collection</a> interweaves revered classics, such as Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” and Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” with contemporary creations from emerging talents including Fatma Ramadan, Aket, Vikram Kushwah, Stefania Tejada, and WonderBuhle.</p> 
 <p>Pratik Thakar, Coca-Cola’s senior director of generative AI, praised the campaign:&nbsp;</p>

 <p>The announcement of the “Masterpiece” <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="collection" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/collection.html">collection</a>, which marked Coca-Cola’s entrée into the non-fungible token (NFT) space, echoes its previous initiatives, notably auctioning its inaugural NFT memorabilia on International Friendship Day in 2021, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Special Olympics International.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>The soft drink company also commemorated Pride Month in July 2022 with the unveiling of 136 cherished mementos.</p> 
 <p>Collectors and cryptocurrency enthusiasts can acquire these tokens through online marketplaces, establishing ownership and authenticity.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>This development follows closely on the heels of McDonald’s Singapore’s exploration of NFTs, which included the McDonaldland mascot Grimace. Bandwagon Labs, a firm involved in the Bitcoin industry, and the NFT artist The Hidden Walls collaborated on the project.</p>
