The famous yellow family of “The Simpsons” ventured into the realm of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrency in an episode with a Halloween theme called “Treehouse of Horror,” sparking a spike in interest and trading activity.

The Sunday airing special featured the adventures of the Simpson family in the made-up metaverse of Microcosm. Unexpectedly, Bart Simpson changes into an NFT, which stands for a special digital token that personifies his personality. The plot develops as several characters, including loved ones and family members from Springfield, make their way through the worlds of digital art and decentralized banking.

Springfield NFT Collection of Punks

Concurrently, the Italian artist Rino Russo’s Springfield Punks NFT collection was introduced, and all 3,405 NFTs were rapidly sold out. One NFT may be minted for free by collectors, and additional NFTs could be purchased for 0.01 ETH ($19) each. The collection had a spike that sent it to a floor price of more than 0.3 ETH ($600) before leveling out at 0.14 ETH.

The popular comedy series “The Simpsons,” known for its social criticism and cultural satire, carries on its legacy by making lighthearted observations about cryptocurrencies and NFTs. The episode takes place amid a market rebound, which lightens the serious conversations around blockchain technology and digital assets.

Even if the program comically explores the world of NFTs, it’s important to note that Disney, the show’s producer, didn’t hesitate to join the crypto wave in 2021 amid positive trends.

Notable Achievers and Upbeat Attitude

Following the incident, a number of NFT collections saw notable increases. Notable winners included Cryptoadz, Mocaverse by Animoca Brands, OnChainMonkey, CyberBrokers, Treeverse, Parallel Avatars, and Doodles. The BLUR token’s surge and Wylie Aronow, co-founder of Yuga Labs, spending a significant 600 ETH ($1.1M) on a rare CryptoPunk helped to further bolster the favorable attitude in the NFT industry.

Once again, “The Simpsons” has demonstrated its ability to grasp the current cultural landscape by fusing humor with cutting-edge developments in the quickly changing fields of blockchain technology and digital assets.
