Ozzy Osbourne’s Death Sends CryptoBatz NFT Collection Soaring Over 400%
The world may have lost a rock legend, but in the digital realm, Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy is experiencing a powerful resurgence. Following news of his death, Osbourne’s 2021-launched NFT collection, CryptoBatz, witnessed a staggering 400%+ surge in value as fans and collectors rushed to secure a piece of his immortalized digital art.
CryptoBatz isn’t just another celebrity NFT drop. It’s a tribute to Osbourne’s wild, unforgettable persona — each of the 9,966 tokens depicts a digital bat, referencing one of the most iconic (and controversial) moments in rock history. But beyond nostalgia, the collection introduced a twist that made it stand out during the NFT boom: each bat could “bite” another NFT, creating a fusion called a “MutantBatz.” This interactive mechanic allowed owners to merge CryptoBatz with major collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club and SupDucks, giving it both artistic and functional appeal.
While the broader NFT market remains in a lull since its 2022 peak, CryptoBatz is proving that some legacies don’t just endure — they mutate, evolve, and rise again.
