BBVA Mexico announced the launch of a collection of 90  non-fungible tokens  ( NFT ) in the  blockchain   of  Avalanche  as part of its 90th anniversary in the country. The project is called "Collection: 90 years with Mexico."

BBVA Mexico reported that it will give away the first NFTs in its collection, and that the designs are inspired by Mexican traditions and pay tribute to the country's customs and culture. The bank has been one of the most advanced in the Spanish-speaking world in launching products related to  blockchain  and the  metaverse .

The announcement of the “Collection: 90 years with Mexico” was made by Sergio Torres Lebrija, Head of Innovation, strategy & sustainability and Diego del Olmo, Head of Blockchain and Digital Assets, both from BBVA Mexico. Avocado Blockchain Services also participates in the project.
