YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) — In a spectacular display of demand and enthusiasm within the digital art industry, the highly anticipated Azuki Elementals NFT minting event experienced an astounding sell-out. In a record-breaking time of under 15 minutes, the sale raised an astounding $38 million.

Azuki Elementals made its debut during the exclusive “Follow the Rabbit” event held in Las Vegas. The company reserved a portion of the 20,000 NFTs exclusively for Azuki holders. These fortunate individuals received an airdrop of NFTs representing the elements of earth, fire, lightning, and water.
The remaining NFTs were made available for purchase. However, Azuki NFT had a privileged 10-minute presale minting opportunity. Thereafter, BEANZ holders (another derivative NFT collection from Azuki) gained access to the drop.
