It was during the end of June this year, that Marvel Entertainment, which is a completely owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, made an announcement indicating that the company was willing to dip its toes into the crazy world of non-fungible tokens or NFTs and right in the first week of August, Marvel declared it to be the “Marvel Month” and soon after that, they released the Spider-Man NFTs in the market.
