Crafty non-fungible token (NFT) creators are monetizing the victory of Johnny Depp in his defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard.

Depp emerged the winner after millions watched six weeks of bruising courtroom drama that was broadcast live around the world. Widespread media coverage, as well as the memeification of the trial on social media platforms such as TikTok, made it next to impossible to avoid.

With the subject firmly cemented in the public consciousness, and having captured the cultural zeitgeist, it was inevitable that the cryptosphere would seek to ape in and milk the opportunity for profit.

Never fear truth
A number of NFT creators have sought to hitch their wagon to Depp’s rising star, but there is also an NFT project backed by Depp himself. Never Fear Truth is the actor’s first major foray into both the art and NFT worlds.

The portraits created by Depp feature friends and heroes of the actor including Hunter S. Thompson and Heath Ledger, and while the collection was minted in Jan, the NFTs enjoyed increased interest over the course of the trial. OpenSea metrics show a noticeable spike in activity the day after verdict day in particular.
