The first cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase, injected a fizz of innovation to their blockchain festival, “OnChain Summer,” bringing together established artists and up-and-coming talent with a series of Coca-Cola NFTs.
These NFTs, appropriately dubbed “Masterpieces,” are housed within the recognizably Coca-Cola bottle silhouette on Coinbase’s Ethereum-based platform “Base.” These digital artifacts, which were unveiled on August 13th, have sparked interest among enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The Coca-Cola NFTs combine well-known works of art, such as Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” and Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” with contributions from up-and-coming artists to create an intriguing mix. These NFTs stand out because they were inspired by the Coca-Cola “Masterpiece” ad, which featured these exact works of art. Thanks to Coinbase’s OnChain Summer event, these NFTs have been transformed into digital gems, giving art enthusiasts and collectors the chance to own a piece of history.

Coca-Cola’s foray into the NFT market is a continuation of their investigation into the potential of Web3. With its ‘The Coca-Cola Pride Collection,’ a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community, the beverage goliath had previously forayed into this field.
Moreover, it partnered with GMUNK to introduce NFTs with a World Cup theme. However, the Masterpiece NFTs mark a distinctive convergence of artistry, technology, and social engagement.
