Alex Ovechkin is going all-in on NFTs, announcing his own collection will drop on August 8.

Ovechkin partnered with Eternity Chain, a marketplace platform for limited-edition authenticated NFTs endorsed by notable figures, and Impossible Brief, a London-based design studio that creates NFTs in addition to other artwork. Ovechkin's NFT is in celebration of his new contract with the Washington Capitals. 

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique digital and collectible assets representing a moment or item that can be electronically bought, sold or traded through a decentralized marketplace. (Think trading cards, but all digital.)

Ovechkin signed a five-year contract with a $9.5 million AAV during free agency so he can finish his career in DC. The Capitals captain is 164 goals behind Wayne Gretzky in pursuit of the all-time goals record.
