Most celebrities who bought and displayed NFTs as social media avatars are now removing<\/a> them amid the harsh crypto winter, which has led to a downturn in NFTs as well.<\/p>\n

The fast-paced nature of the crypto market attracted celebrities who want to invest their fortunes. Some of the biggest names<\/a> in Hollywood\u00a0including Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher, and Bruce Willis participated<\/a> in various projects. Many also purchased NFTs, especially from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)<\/a> collection during 2021.<\/p>\n

Is the\u00a0 NFT hype dead?<\/h2>\n

Most celebrities who proudly displayed their BAYCs as a Twitter avatar have recently changed them, including Serena Williams, Reese Witherspoon, Lil Durk, Travis Barker, and Shonda Rhimes.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Fallon was especially proud of his ape. He showed a copy of it during his show featuring Paris Hilton and said they were “a part of the same community.”<\/p>\n
