The average cost is now fluctuating between a measly one to three per cent.

The scheme was initially supported by the likes of Roma star and ex-Blue Tammy Abraham and Terry’s old team-mate Ashley Cole.

Terry set up his Twitter account in November 2021 in an apparent attempt to promote his online tokens.

The Blues icon has been advertising the NFTs he owns, featuring cartoons of baby monkeys, on his Twitter page.
