NFT or non-fungible tokens are becoming very popular among the digerati recently, having artwork, music, tweets, and other content selling for millions of dollars in most cases. But all the Ellen DeGeneres fans are not irrationally exuberant about this hype. Her first NFT token sale got a net total of $30,955. Using NFTs, people can buy or sell digital assets that are certified through blockchain-based technology.

DeGeneres’s first NFT sale took place on Monday. All the finance are going to the World Central Kitchen, a food relief organization founded by Chef Jose Andres. The show began promoting this stunt online last Friday.
However, DeGeneres announced the NFT sale on Monday at “The Ellen Show” with a monologue about NFT sold as the premium auction lot. She tweeted the information about the auction held on NFT on the site Bilski. She shared the news with all her 79 million Twitter followers.
