Nike’s NFT revenue versus market index price
In August, Finbold reported on Nike’s NFT- related projects earning the company more than $185 million in revenue since their launch, despite the crypto winter and declining interest, during which the NFT trading volume for Q2 had dropped by 40%.
It is also worth mentioning that, in spite of this revenue, Nike NFT prices have continued to fall, with the market index standing at $13,105 as of November 21, compared to $23,986 on August 22, according to Dune data.

With Nike in the first place, other top brands in terms of revenue from NFTs include Dolce & Gabbana, Tiffany, Gucci, Adidas, Time Magazine, Budweiser, and Lacoste, based on their performance on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, the latest Dune data shows.
Meanwhile, between January 1 and September 30, the number of NFT and blockchain-related trademarks in the United States exceeded 6,000, three times more than during the entire year of 2021. By comparison, only three trademark applications were filed in 2020.
