Origin Axie #2646, Cocaine Cowboy ($COKE)

In August 2020, we launched a creative campaign around Origin Axie #2646, also known as “Cocaine Cowboy” ($COKE). Its NFT was fractionalized into fungible $COKE shards through NIFTEX, and the entire NFT community was invited to create artworks and memes in return for $COKE.

The results exceeded all expectations, as outlined in this article, “The Story of cloudwhite and $COKE.” Cocaine Cowboy has since found itself in dozens of pieces of crypto art, and reached an evaluation as high as 31.63 $ETH ($12,272.44) on the NIFTEX exchange.
