BEIJING (Xinhua): As the Beijing Winter Olympics wraps up, the craze for acquiring a Bing Dwen Dwen, the panda mascot for the games, has persisted, now expanding into the digital art market supported by blockchain technology.

On Friday (Feb 18), a San Francisco-based mobile-game company called nWayPlay rolled out its second batch of 200 Legendary Box packages containing the digital pins to several non-fungible tokens featuring images of the mascot. The panda-themed NFTs are authorised by the International Olympics Committee.
