- RM Sotheby’s announces partnership with NFT PRO, a world leader in NFT and Blockchain service provision

BLENHEIM, ONTARIO, CANADA – December 7, 2021 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – RM Sotheby’s is delighted to announce that it is partnering with NFT PRO to create a one-stop platform where manufacturers, design houses, collectors, and individuals can leverage the creative power of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens).
RM Sotheby’s and NFT PRO offers car collectors and individuals the ability to create NFTs of their cars and collections. These “digital twins” act as digital authentication or can become an art piece sold alongside the vehicle. Manufacturers or design houses will also benefit from the NFT service by issuing unique NFTs with special car or design releases, such as anniversary editions and icon rereleases.
Bryon Madsen, RM Sotheby’s Chief Strategy Officer, said: “It’s clear that NFTs have now become an integral part of the collecting landscape, and the opportunities they present to the car collecting community are significant and very appealing. Our belief is that through offering innovative and creative NFTs attached to a broad range of automotive assets, we will attract a new generation of collectors as well as those already active within the collector car community.”
RM Sotheby’s and NFT PRO’s services will be able to offer an NFT record of the vehicle’s past as a blockchain version of a “Carfax®.” The use of NFT smart contracts gives any buyer/collector and manufacturer the ability to track a car’s history in real-time.
Chris Ferri, CEO of NFT PRO, said: “Leveraging NFTs in the automotive industry is a natural fit, and we are thrilled to create an ‘automotive consortium’ with RM Sotheby’s in being able to offer car enthusiasts and manufacturers NFT services. The future is heading toward digital and blockchain, and we want to be leading the charge for the automotive category.”
