While talking to Arab News, Akhtar told; “I was looking for opportunities to do something productive with my meme and celebrity status.” He further added; “NFTs are popular but I did not know much about them until I was approached by team Alter. They took the time to educate me and were very transparent about the whole process.” The disappointed cricket fan also told that the DFans is inspired by his iconic pose from the original meme as his fans recognize him through that.
I’m proud to announce that I’ll be collaborating with @nft_alter to bring an exclusive NFT project – DFans for NFT enthusiasts, sports collectors and fandom communities around the world
