NFT craze has been gaining momentum lately.

And one of the most famous American DJs managed to earn more money on non-fungible tokens than in 18 years of his professional career.

Also today, it became known that Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk will become an ambassador of the United24 fundraising platform, which was launched by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in early May.
