Furthermore, the announcement also details that Beckham will launch a series of NFTs and other blockchain-based digital assets, which will be minted exclusively on the DigitalBits blockchain.

“I’m always interested in finding new ways to connect with my fans around the world.

I’ve always been proud to work with the best teams and I’m very excited to work on my NFT collections and more innovations in the future,” said Beckham.
