Per the Dune Analytics data, Dolce & Gabbana ranks second on the list of outfits with NFT exposures, with its revenue coming in at $25.65 million. Jewellery brands Tiffany, Gucci, and Adidas, make up the top five list of brands with high NFT revenues.

Nike has earned a total of $92.1 million on royalties, indicating that many secondary sales of the respect NFTs have taken place since the collection was launched. Of the top ten profiled brands, Tiffany, Budweiser, Bud Light, and the Pepsi Mic Drop have not recorded any transaction sales. This indicates that the NFTs are either yet to hit the secondary markets or collectors are HODL to sell much later.
