Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Welcomes Cool Cats NFT Collection
Cool Cats NFT Collection Makes Its Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Debut
The popular NFT collection Cool Cats has made history by joining iconic characters like Pikachu and Ronald McDonald as a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon. The Cool Cats balloon, featuring the collection’s main character Blue Cat and milk carton Chugs, made its debut alongside the launch of a new YouTube Shorts series, “The Milk Chug.”
A Limited-Edition Hoodie and Digital Avatar System
To celebrate this milestone, a limited-edition Cool Cats hoodie will be available at Herald Square Macy’s, complete with an NFC tag that links to an Azuki physical backed token. This allows the garment to be worn in real life and in Cool Cats’ digital avatar system, adding a unique and interactive element to the collection’s merchandise.
A Brief History of Cool Cats
Created by artist Colin ‘Clon’ Egan, Cool Cats originated as a series of artworks by the ‘Catoonist,’ before transitioning to Instagram in 2015. In 2021, Clon launched the Cool Cats NFT collection, consisting of 9,999 Blue Cat PFPs. The collection quickly gained popularity, becoming one of the “blue chip” profile picture projects during the late 2021 NFT boom. However, prices later saw a decline amid community discontent and a broader crypto market downturn.
Expansion Plans and Current Market Performance
Despite the challenges, the collection announced plans earlier this year to expand to multiple blockchain networks and licensed its IP to games studios. Currently, the floor price for the collection stands at 0.99 ETH, or just over $2,000 at current prices. Additionally, the volume has spiked by 225% in the last day to 57.9 ETH, indicating a renewed interest in the Cool Cats NFTs.
Overall, the inclusion of the Cool Cats balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade marks a significant milestone for the NFT collection, further solidifying its presence in popular culture and capturing the attention of a broader audience. With ongoing developments and expansion plans, Cool Cats continues to evolve and thrive within the dynamic NFT market.
