The Simpsons Mention NFTs, and the Market Reacts
On a recent Sunday evening, The Simpsons made waves in the NFT world. On a Halloween episode of “The Simpsons” that came out on Sunday, the famous cartoon family explored NFTs and crypto. The mere mention of NFTs stirred up the community.
Instantly, traders crafted collections tied to the show, and they hit the markets hard.
In this episode called ‘Treehouse of Horror,’ the Simpsons find themselves in a made-up digital world named Microcosm. There’s a surprise twist where Bart Simpson turns into an NFT, which is a special kind of digital item that represents him.
Throughout the show, different characters from the show, like the Simpsons family and well-known people from their town, Springfield, dive into the new and complex world of online money and digital art.

Looking at Blur’s trending tab, I found a slew of Simpsons-inspired NFTs. While these hastily-made collections might end up forgotten, they showcased the dynamic culture of trading and minting that’s alive and well in the NFT space.
Springfield Punks Take the Lead
Among the new entries, Springfield Punks stood out. Starting as a free mint, they skyrocketed to 0.4 Ethereum before taking a dive. Someone even put down 3.5 ETH for one—optimism or overconfidence? Only time will tell.
