Mr. Brainwash ( https://www.mrbrainwash.com/ ), OPUS ( 
https://www.thisisopus.com/ ), Snoop Dogg ( https://snoopdogg.com/ ), among 
others. 

Commenting on the launch, BossLogic said: "I'm grateful to have the opportunity 
to collaborate with Crypto.com. Having been an avid user of their platform it's 
kind of surreal I got to be part of their next step into the new era of art and 
NFT's. Stay tuned for my exclusive drop and some major collaborations."

Bosslogic's inaugural drop with Crypto.com/NFT available on March 26 is a new 
collection entitled "Higher Ground" featuring a bold and dreamlike aquatic 
world for fans old and new to immerse themselves in.

In the world of sport, Crypto.com and Aston Martin Cognizant Formula OneTM are 
partnering to introduce NFTs as the team returns to F1 for the first time in 60 
years. The team will exclusively offer their content via Crypto.com/NFT. 
Additional athletes, teams, and leagues will be announced in the coming weeks.

Jefferson Slack, Managing Director – Commercial & Marketing, Aston Martin 
Cognizant Formula One Team, said: "As a modern organisation with a strong 
heritage, we're excited to be the first Formula 1 team to offer a new way for 
our fans to own a piece of our history. The collection of NFTs we're making 
available capture the very first moments of our return to F1 after more than 
six decades."

Boy George's drop unleashes his creativity and brings together animated and 
still versions of his own paintings together with his iconic music, 
representing the full breadth of his artistic output.

Commenting on his NFT debut, Boy George said: "I think life turned me into art. 
My role models were both artistic types and hard working types. I've painted 
myself and others. I have painted myself into a corner. I love metaphors and 
mystery and crypto sound like klepto so that makes me a crypto maniac. Art is 
like a partner? Can you live with it? Digital art is a new emotion and it can 
be very musical. I'm mixing all of the things I do together, music, art, 
fashion, poetry and anything else it leads to. I have stopped refusing to be 
influenced." 

To lead the new venture, Crypto.com recently appointed Joe Conyers III ( 
mailto:Joe@joeconyers.com ) as EVP, Global Head of NFTs. Joe was named a 
Digital Power Player by Billboard Magazine four years in a row, and most 
recently served as Chief Strategy Officer at Downtown Music Holdings. Joe 
brings over a decade of experience building global businesses that support 
artists. While at Downtown, Joe was a co-founder of Songtrust, the world's 
leading publishing administrator enabling songwriters, creators & businesses 
worldwide to collect royalties.

About the launch Conyers said: "I am thrilled to work with remarkable talent 
around the world and partner with them to shape the future of this new creative 
medium. We are looking forward to being a thoughtful curator and innovator, 
connecting fans and collectors with amazing content creators. We will be 
looking out for creators and curators with bold vision who are working to push 
the boundaries of the medium and bring more collectors into the space."

"Technology and creativity are indispensable to each other," offered the 
enigmatic artist Mr. Brainwash in regards to his drop. "Look deep into 
technology and you'll understand everything better."

Artists are encouraged to inquire about listing their works with us at 
Crypto.com/NFT.

Lionel Richie said: "As a fan and collector of art, I have always looked for 
unique pieces and Klarens Malluta's work is truly amazing. Looking forward to 
collaborating with him on a digital piece and with a little 'All Night Long' in 
this new medium."

"I feel honored to have the chance to collaborate with Lionel Richie on this 
artwork; it's inspired by my memory of first hearing his music on TV when I was 
a child growing up in Albania," said Kalrens Malluta on his collaboration with 
Lionel Richie. "The music felt like a completely different reality to me then, 
so collaborating together feels surreal. I tried to capture that same dreamy 
feeling in the visuals and am excited to share this piece with the world."

KCamp Said: "On the anniversary of putting out 'Lottery' and how crazy that 
song went thanks to Jalaiah who created the Renegade dance and the fans that 
turned it into a global phenomenon, I wanted to do something to show how 
powerful it is when fans and artists connect to move culture. 

Releasing this NFT to celebrate the song is only a part of what I've got in 
store…"

Axel Mansoor Said: "From live-streaming to AR/VR and drop-in audio, I've always 
loved exploring how new technologies can change the way that my music is 
experienced. I often ask myself, "how can I use tech to create intimacy at 
scale?" Technology is at its best when it's helping us connect to each other in 
innovative ways, and NFTs are a super exciting way to forge deeper bonds with 
my supporters."

Crypto.com/NFT is committed to creating the most user-friendly NFT buying 
experience. At launch users will have the option to 1-click buy using their 
credit or debit card. Any collector or fan will be able to acquire, trade, and
