An iconic American (US) rapper, O’Shea Jackson Sr or better known as Ice Cube is said to have received the Dogecoin (DOGE) cryptocurrency in 1 transaction full of ‘extraordinary and historic’.
It is said that the DOGE acceptance made by Ice Cube is believed to be closely linked to the basketball league, BIG3 of which he is the co -founder.
Last month, BIG3 launched a new ownership model for the league that consists of the sale of token stakes in each of the 12 teams.
It is understood there are 1,000 non-fungible tokens (NFT) in total allocated to each team, with 25 “Fire” NFTs worth $ 25,000 and 975 “Gold” NFTs at $ 5,000 each.
Shortly afterwards, MyDoge wallet co -founder Bill Lee asked Ice Cube on Twitter if the rapper accepted DOGE as a token interest purchase transaction.
Ice Cube has responded by stating that he is ‘interested’ in accepting the DOGE as a transaction.
While it remains unconfirmed to what extent IceCube ‘asked for’, BIG3 issued a press release the same day to announce that Lee had purchased all 25 Fire NFTs for the “Aliens” team using DOGE.
It is believed the ‘extraordinary and historic’ transaction as described by Ice Cube was worth $ 625,000 or about 4.86 million DOGE.
In addition, BIG3 also called it the ‘largest commercial transaction in the history of’ DOGE.
Fire NFT represents ownership advantages and higher utility benefits such as game management, voting rights and intellectual property/licensing rights for team logos, names as well as merchandise.
In addition, if the Fire NFT is sold by the owner, the individual will get a sales discount of 40%.
