Seven bundles of Stryking’s official Bayern Munich non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have been sold at auction for 240.9649 ETH, equivalent to approximately $31,100. One full set of the special Christmas 2019 Edition collection, featuring 24 players from Germany’s most successful football club, went for 133 ETH (around $16,700) while the remaining six bundles contained four cards each.
The value of each four card set varied from 33.9 ETH down to 4.4 ETH depending on the status of the players they portrayed. Top price was paid for the international quartet of Robert Lewandowski, Sven Ulreich, Kingsley Coman and Ivan Perišić.
The sale saw a spike in interest for Berlin-based Stryking products with performance analytic charts logging an impressive 6000% increase on the previous week. Until the sale, Stryking were probably best known for Football-Stars, their web and mobile gaming platform aimed at European fans.
Sporting Connections
Stryking made news in 2018 when they garnered support from Portuguese star Luis Figo and are now a subsidiary of Animoca Brands after being acquired in September this year. Animoca Brands have themselves previously enjoyed NFT auction successes with their official connection with Formula 1 motor racing.
Not resting on their laurels, Stryking have already started a second sale for Bayern Munich NFTs – called New Year 2020 Edition Legendary Player Cards – which will run until 6 January.
According to Stryking, the Ethereum-based NFTs are unique cryptographic tokens with the “…rarity, authenticity, and ownership secured and guaranteed by blockchain technology.”
