Drop of the Week - Hocus Pocus 2

A limited-edition collection of Hocus Pocus 2 collectibles dropped on the Veve app yesterday.

Here's what we know:

• The drop is a blind box drop. Meaning, you don't know the Rarity of your NFT until you've purchased it.

• Disney is collecting a 6% fee on secondary sales. This is in addition to VeVe's 2.5% fee.
