BlockAsset Launches Legends NFT Collection Featuring Wayne Rooney

BlockAsset, a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) platform has announced the launch of its Legends NFT Collection, featuring one of the world’s most renowned footballers, Wayne Rooney. According to a press release shared with TheCoinRise, the collection is made up of 10,000 NFTs, all split into groups of 2,000 and ranked by rarity.

BlockAsset, seeking to enshrine itself as one of the pioneering marketplaces connecting superstar athletes and their fans, affirmed that Rooney will be featured in 2000 NFTs in the collection. Each NFT image is unique and will record some of the best moments in his career, including defining moments in his story from his entrance to the professional soccer world at an age of 16 years, his glory days at the Manchester United and the England National Team, to his retirement as a player during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Throughout his career, Wayne Rooney was arguably one of the most decorated athletes in English football. He was one of only two players that have managed to win the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, League Cup, UEFA Europa League, and the FIFA Club World Cup. In addition to this feat, Rooney is the top goalscorer of both the England National Team with 53 goals and of his signature team in the Premier League, Manchester United.

The Legends NFT Collections was brought to life in partnership with Dosbrak, one of the most renowned artists in the NFT metaverse today. Rooney’s fans and all NFT enthusiasts can now purchase these NFTs from Blockasset’s NFT marketplace, and users will be able to leverage the virtual sticker book available to review their NFT collections.

BlockAsset NFT Marketplace: a New Name in the Growing Metaverse

Built atop the Solana blockchain network, BlockAsset NFT Marketplace is an emerging name in the growing Non-Fungible Token metaverse of today. 

BlockAsset is coming into an ecosystem that is currently being dominated by the likes of OpenSea, and Rarible, with major companies like Visa exploring ways to take a bite of the pie. Seeing the need to bridge the gap between artists and creators, more NFT marketplaces are now emerging, and particularly from centralized trading platforms including Binance, publicly listed American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, and FTX Derivatives Exchange to mention a few.

Just as many acknowledge that the entire blockchain and crypto ecosystem is still in its infancy, so also are NFT innovations. With the right product offering, each NFT marketplace can be a viable part of the future of NFTs where there are projections for billions of users to wade in.
