To clarify, both Robbie and director Greta Gerwig joked about how male producers like David Heyman, and Robbie\u2019s husband Tom Ackerly, seemed to always be talking about the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen David and Tom would start talking about Bitcoin or something, Greta and I would be like, \u2018They\u2019re being such Kens.\u00a0Just stop being Kens!\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Robbie simply alluded to the \u2018Barbie\u2019 movie\u2019s portal of stereotypical male behaviours, and did not expand further than that. However, while talking about Bitcoin may be a \u2018Ken\u2019 trait, NFTs are surely a Barbie trait.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Barbie_and_NFTs\">Barbie and NFTs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mattel, the parent company of \u2018Barbie\u2019, has been embracing blockchain technology since 2021. First, Mattel explored NFTs with <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/mattels-hot-wheels-nft-collection-is-rolling-in-the-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hot Wheels on the WAX blockchain<\/a>. Then, in January of 2022, Mattel auctioned off three one-of-one NFTs in collaboration with Balmain. In 2022, Mattel signed a multi-year partnership with NFT marketplace Cryptoys, offering exclusivity to the platform. There are plans for a Cryptoys \u2018metaverse\u2019 and play-to-earn games with Mattel\u2019s IP \u2013 including Barbie.<\/p>\n<p>Further, in October of 2022, Barbie partnered with Boss Beauties. Together, they created 15,000 NFTs based on 250 professions that Barbie has shown throughout the decades. The collections included chefs, astronauts, football players, and more. <a href=\"https:\/\/virtual.mattel.com\/explore\/FLOW:A.d0bcefdf1e67ea85.HWGarageCardV2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mattel also launched their own peer-to-peer marketplace<\/a> in April. At present, you can find Hot Wheels NFT Garage, Hot Wheels Series 4, Boss Beauties x Barbie, and Boss Beauties x Barbie Redemption Tokens.<\/p>\n<p>So, while Robbie jokes about Bitcoin, Mattel (and therefore Barbie) continues to push forward in the NFT space.<\/p>\n<p><iframe data-test-id=\"beehiiv-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border-radius: 4px; border: 2px solid #e5e7eb; margin: 0; background-color: transparent;\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/embeds.beehiiv.com\/37fed65e-f01c-4c4c-b8f1-1b71da0be0a4\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embeds.beehiiv.com\/37fed65e-f01c-4c4c-b8f1-1b71da0be0a4\" data-test-id=\"beehiiv-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border-radius: 4px; border: 2px solid #e5e7eb; margin: 0; background-color: transparent;\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-text__wrapper post-content\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>All investment\/financial opinions expressed by NFTevening.com are not recommendations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article is educational material.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As always, make your own research prior to making any kind of investment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/bitcoin-for-ken-nfts-for-barbie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barbie is the topic of every conversation right now \u2013 including NFTs.
