Why It’s Important: The Netflix show is one of the most popular original series for the streaming company of all time. The last two episodes of season 4 helped Netflix post another record-breaking week of 301.3 million hours watched for the latest season. The premiere week, which included the first seven episodes of “Stranger Things,” was watched 287 million hours, an English-language show record for the streaming company.
Candy Digital is an NFT company founded by Fanatics and its Chairman Michael Rubin with Michael Novogratz and Gary Vaynerchuk (aka Gary Vee).
NFTs on Candy Digital use Ethereum ETH/USD-based ecosystem Palm as its blockchain technology.
With a season 5 of “Stranger Things” coming and a spinoff show, this could be the start of NFTs based on the show. This could also mark the first of many NFT collections based on Netflix's original series.
