The rumours began circulating yesterday after Jamie Burke on Twitter mentioned “Rumour is Disney is about to make a big NFT acquisition.”, he continued: “If it happens it would be the biggest deal to date in the industry. Let’s see how it plays out…”
The Tweet received replies from many big names in the NFT space including GaryVee who simply said “Hmmmm”. Also, Snoop Dogg chimed in and said “Heard a rumor that Disney is buying the doggies”, presumably joking.
Among these so many assumptions, Burke confirmed that someone has made the right prediction about Disney’s possible choice of NFT collection to acquire by saying “All I’m going to say is someone in the thread got it”.
While the NFT trend is booming over upcoming web 3.0 projects, many big companies are falling into the NFT space through acquiring prominent NFT collections. Recently, sports brand NIKE has acquired virtual shoe company RTFKT to create next-generation collectibles that combine culture and gaming. Disney’s acquisition can be similar to NIKE’s purchasing deal.
