Azuki Elementals drop
Azuki launched a new NFT collection called Elementals on June 27 that saw 10,000 anime-inspired avatars airdropped to existing Azuki brand holders. Another 10,000 were to be offered up from sale, but the collection sold out before the public had a chance to buy an NFT.
Azuki acknowledged missteps in the launch, stating "we missed the mark." Despite the community controversy, the Elementals drop netted Azuki $51 million in sales — the highest trading volume for the collection since May of 2022.
