When we talk about the "Metaverse" nowadays, it is like discussing "the Internet" in the 1990s. There are so many misunderstandings and misconceptions that may confuse you. It is so difficult because the Metaverse can be seen as the connecting point of many different 21st-century technologies. We will focus today on blockchain technology and NFTs.
The Metaverse and NFTs have become a new medium for artists, creators, brands, and many more to showcase and monetize their creations while ensuring full transparency and authenticity of ownership. For this reason, it is not surprising that the size of the global Metaverse market was estimated at USD 63 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to USD 100 billion by 2022 and to USD 1 trillion by 2030. Despite the tremendous growth of the Metaverse and NFT ecosystem over the past year, there is still much to be done to achieve mainstream adoption.
Join us for an exciting panel discussion on the future of the Metaverse and the role of NFTs within it!
