Taijuan Walker has joined in on the NFT craze. We posted last week about Gronkowski being the first pro-athlete to have an NFT (non-fungible token) auction, and he was quickly followed by Patrick Mahomes and now MLB player Taijuan Walker. Walker recently completed a five-day auction of a one-of-one digital trading card that sold for around $4,000. He says that he will be hosting more auctions soon and that the Mets have also shown interest in conducting their own NFT auctions in the future.
Auctioning off digital trading cards is a very new side hustle that athletes are only beginning to take seriously. Walker, whose top focus remains growing as a baseball player, will continue to sell NFTs to supplement his baseball salary and share NFT revenue with charities.
