A non-fungible token (NFT) collection inspired by Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars sold $45,000 worth of NFTs on Tuesday.
What Happened: An NFT collection titled “Will Smith Slap Dao” on decentralized marketplace OpenSea has recorded 13.7 Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) or $45,000 worth of sales.
The collection of 2,000 items was described by the creator as “non-fungible slaps” and features GIFs of Will Smith slaps. Based on the text below each piece, the collection appears to be classified into two camps — Team Fake and Team Real.

As of Wednesday morning, the Slap DAO NFT collection had 749 owners and a floor price of $0.001 ETH, meaning that the NFTs could be purchased for as little as $3.3.
Another user looking to capitalize on the viral video of the Oscar encounter created an ERC-20 token called Will Smith Inu (CRYPTO: WSI) which saw a 10,000% surge shortly after it was launched. At the time of writing, the WSI token was still up 3,400% over a 24 hour period.
