Bowie's NFT Journey: From Blockchain Debut to Now

robot
Abstract generation in progress

Back in September 2022, something pretty cool happened. The David Bowie estate teamed up with OpenSea. They dropped "Bowie on the Blockchain" - a collection of 15 NFTs honoring the legendary British pop star's artistic legacy. One piece actually sold for 96.5 ETH. That's like $127,000. Crazy money.

Nine artists contributed. The collection had this standout piece by FEWOCiOUS. Just a teenager. 19 years old. The kid created an animated clip with this massive seven-foot sculpture wearing one of Bowie's actual suits. Pretty special.

Fast forward to September 2025. Things have changed. The market exploded to over $3 billion in early 2025. It's cooled off now. Around $1.3 billion by May. Not terrible.

The floor price seems to have found its level. Kind of surprising how things stabilized after all that volatility. The current market cap reflects... well, investors are fickle. Their interests shift.

Bowie's estate kept authorizing new NFT collections since that first one. They're protective of his legacy. Makes sense. The man was an icon.

Want to buy a Bowie NFT? You'll need a crypto wallet. Not all wallets work with all marketplaces. Some Bowie pieces pop up on NFT Plazas. Worth checking.

The original collection's purpose remains. It's not entirely clear if Bowie himself would have embraced NFTs, but it feels right. He was always ahead of his time. Reshaping music. Supporting new tech. That was his thing.
