After the announcement, the prominent NFT marketplace, OpenSea, has offered thousands of NFTs, ranging from artwork connected to well-known NFT collections to images of Queen Elizabeth. Users can pick from a variety of photographs of the queen, who passed away at the age of 96 after 70 years as monarch, at <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/rip-the-queen-official" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">RIP The Queen Official</a>, which offers more than 8,000 digital artworks.
<h2>Increase In Demand And Price</h2>
Ten items from the <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/queene-nft/activity" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">QueenE DAO Collection</a> got sold in the past 10 hours, nine of which sold for more than US$1,000, reflecting a rise in demand and pricing for its NFTs. The Twitter feed for QueenE DAO reads, "Rest in Ethereum, forever."

According to the NFT aggregation website <a href="https://cryptoslam.io/nftglobal" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">CryptoSlam</a>, the rise in sales comes after a drop in the number of unique NFT purchasers the previous month to less than 500,000 for the first time in a year. Due to a surge in Ethereum pricing in early August, total sales increased from US$650 million in July to US$730 million.
<h2>Tribute On Twitter</h2>
People paid their respects on Twitter with messages like "The London Bridge has fallen" and "wearing Queen Elizabeth's dress and hat in her memory."
