Budweiser, the self-proclaimed “King of Beers,” looks to Ethereum in a bid to go crypto. The firm behind the biggest selling beer in the U.S has just bought the beer.eth domain name, via Opensea, for 30 ETH (about $100,000).
Budweiser’s official Twitter account has also changed its profile picture to a Budweiser rocket. NFT artist Tom Sachs designed the rocket in question as part of his Rocket Factory Collection.

According to OpenSea, it was purchased on Tuesday for 8 ETH (about $24,000), having been minted just 12 days ago.
Twitter user @dGenNetwork commented on the “symbolism” behind the move. However, of greater certainty is Budweiser’s nod of approval to Ethereum, the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), and NFTs.
Budweiser paid 30 ETH for Beer.eth. That’s almost $100,000. There’s some symbolism to them flexing a rocket from @tsrocketfactory. It’s happening, everyone. pic.twitter.com/LecJdLfz2L
