The actress even tried to get Microsoft founder Bill Gates into the NFT craze back in August when the industry was blossoming, with hundreds of new projects appearing on the market day after day.

What's with the .eth in the name?

As some users have noticed, Hilton is also an active user of the Ethereum nameserver technology which allows users to share their ETH address with simplicity without sharing a 42-digit crypto address.

Each Ethereum nameserver is unique and cannot be used by any other users, which creates some opportunities for "domain-hunters" that are constantly buying unique and unusual Ethereum nameservers and then selling them at a high premium.

Previously, the Ethereum Name Service airdropped more than $500 million worth of tokens, creating a strong selling pressure on the market that led to the price of the asset plunging by almost 50% after going through its 100% run back in November.
