**Cool Cats NFT Collection Balloon Joins Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade**
The iconic Cool Cats NFT collection has made a new milestone by joining the ranks of beloved characters such as Pikachu and Ronald McDonald as a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon. The balloon features the collection’s main character, Blue Cat, and the milk carton character Chugs, and is a part of this week’s launch of a YouTube Shorts series called “The Milk Chug”.
**A Limited-Edition Cool Cats Hoodie Celebrates the Occasion**
To mark this momentous occasion, a limited-edition Cool Cats hoodie will be available at the Herald Square Macy’s. What sets this hoodie apart is the inclusion of an NFC tag that links to an Azuki physical backed token, allowing the garment to be worn in real life and in the digital avatar system of Cool Cats.
**A Journey From Artworks to NFT Collection**
The Cool Cats collection, created by artist Colin ‘Clon’ Egan, had its origins as a series of artworks by the ‘Cartoonist’ before making the transition to Instagram in 2015. In 2021, Clon launched the Cool Cats NFT collection, which consists of 9,999 Blue Cat PFPs. This collection quickly gained popularity and became one of the “blue chip” profile picture projects of the late 2021 NFT boom, with prices reaching an average of $92,000. The project even signed with top Hollywood agency CAA in early 2022. However, amidst mounting community discontent and a broader crypto market downturn, the prices tumbled.
**Expansion Plans and Current Standing of the Collection**
Despite the challenges, the collection has announced plans to expand to multiple blockchain networks and has also licensed its intellectual property to game studios. Currently, the floor price for the collection stands at 0.99 ETH, or just over $2,000 at current prices. The volume has spiked by 225% in the last day to 57.9 ETH.
It is undoubtedly an exciting time for the Cool Cats NFT collection, with the addition of the parade balloon and the launch of the YouTube Shorts series. Fans of the collection and NFT enthusiasts alike will be eagerly awaiting the next steps for Cool Cats and the impact it will have on the NFT and digital art world.
