USPS Licenses VeVe To Bring Day Of The Dead Stamps Into The World Of Digital Collectibles

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- New Zealand-based non-fungible token (NFT) platform VeVe has announced a new partnership with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to offer the first-ever USPS® digital collectible stamp art. The collaboration will make four of the recently released Day of the Dead inspired "Forever" Stamps available as limited-edition NFTs that will be available exclusively through the VeVe app on Nov. 2 at 12 p.m. PT

"We are offering a new way to collect and a way to remain relevant and innovative with new audiences," said Chris Karpenko, USPS Executive Director of Brand Marketing. "We're excited to be able to make these designs available in an entirely new way with the licensed digital collectible drop with VeVe."

"We are very humbled to work with such a vital institution for this collaboration," said David Yu, Co-Founder of the VeVe platform. "We're thrilled to offer collectors a new, unique way to engage with digital collectibles that celebrate the legacy of both the USPS, a daily crucial service, and Day of the Dead, a holiday that has resonated among countless generations."

USPS Day of the Dead licensed digital collectibles will be available for purchase as a blind box for $6.00 each, giving purchasers a random chance at obtaining a common, uncommon, rare or ultra rare collectible from this series.

Day of the Dead celebrations can be traced back more than 3,000 years throughout pre-Columbian Latin America. Today, Día de los Muertos, as it is known in Spanish, has become a beloved tradition, particularly in U.S. cities with large Mexican and Central American immigrant communities. Hundreds of thousands of Americans from all walks of life have come to appreciate and enjoy Day of the Dead.
