NFT marketplaces have traditionally only been used for buying and selling NFTs as collectibles. However, envisioning NFTs from collectibles to technology for digital identity & experiences will help expand the boundaries. Mainstream brands are beginning to understand the value of NFT technology and that it’s not a passing craze. The real-world applications of NFTs demonstrate their versatility and potential to revolutionize industries making a meaningful impact on society. As the digital economy evolves, these assets are expected to become an essential part of it in the coming years.
NFTs are still in their early days, and the possibilities for what they can do beyond art and collectibles are endless. We’re on the cusp of a whole new era of digital ownership and creator economy, and it will be exciting to see where it goes from here. It’s a way to create and generate value. It’s the same story as with every innovation. Once you find concrete use cases, both for enterprise and consumer applications, that’s where the value is unlocked, and that’s what we entrepreneurs need to focus strictly on. It’s not about speculation; it’s about generating solutions and leveraging technology.
We are only scratching the surface. It is an exciting time to be a part of this industry, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds.
