With a new $305 million USD private investment, Vancouver-based Dapper Labs is making major waves in the world of basketball.

Dapper Labs are the people behind NBA Top Shot, a super popular virtual trading card. While it sounds niche, they’re making tons of cash. The company reported having made over $500 million in sales since October. Where does the value come from? Well, the answer is NFTs (non-fungible tokens).

It’s complicated to fully explain, but it, simply, is using a technology called ‘blockchain’ that verifies its scarcity and value. There’s more to it than that, but we try to keep things simple around here.

Each card comes with a virtual clip of its respective basketball player and some have been valued at over $200,000.

Some big names have taken notice of Dapper Labs, with legends like Micheal Jordan, Kyle Lowry and 2 Chainz investing in the company. What a crew!

Not since the Grizzlies and Steve Nash has BC had such an impact on the NBA. So this is super cool to see.
