NFT Financial News

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is changing how people interact with money in a way that makes the financial realm more accessible and secure. Under the traditional model, users can find themselves subject to rules implemented on short notice, which at times have erased millions or billions of dollars from their fortunes.

Music is a tricky business. The industry has its fair share of controversies, from monopolies to the limited earning potential for upcoming artists. While Web2 brought many positive changes, the industry still has a long way. Because of this, projects are trying to utilize blockchain technology to provide new solutions to the age-old music market.

ConsenSys has been a leading developer of decentralized software services and applications that operate on the Ethereum blockchain. Founded in early 2015, the Brooklyn-based company has been involved with MetaMask, an Ethereum wallet application that allows users to store and transfer cryptocurrencies and tokens. The company has been raising funds. Most recently it raised $450 million through its Series D funding bringing ConsenSys valuation at over $7 billion.

OneFootball, a German football media application, has raised $300 million in a Series D round to grow the company's presence on Web3 and develop new features on its platform.

In 2021, the world experienced both the rise and fall of GameFi, with popular games including Decentraland, Sandbox and Axie Infinity enabling players to earn in a new standard for gameplay.

In many ways, cryptocurrencies were designed to be an equalizer, a characteristic likened to the asset’s abilities to promote financial inclusion. Similarly, nonfungible tokens (NFTs) were designed to accomplish the same mission of equality, only across industries such as art, real estate and gaming. Unfortunately, despite these lofty goals, the early use of NFTs has unintentionally introduced new forms of inequality.

NFT and crypto space that you need to know about:Own Your Art With the cost of NFTs hitting new records each time, small time crypto investors have been feeling left out of the art NFT scene. After all, how many of us can afford a Bored Ape NFT that costs lakhs of rupees? One trend that has caught on to counter this is what is known as Fractionalised NFTs in which ownership is shared among multiple owners so as to bring down the price of an artwork to an affordable level. A popular example is famed street artist Banksy’s Gorilla in a Street Mask NFT that will be sold as a collection of 10,000 fractionalised NFTs for $750 each.Gaming Gets NFT-fied With in-game NFT assets being developed by some of the top names in the gaming space, its no wonder GameFi (gaming and finance) is fast getting traction among users and developers alike. One of the biggest names in this space is Axie Infinity that is inspired by Pokemon that features collectible pets called ‘Axies’. It has reportedly collected over a billion dollars of in-game assets through its tokens that can be used in the game’s ecosystem. Gaming and NFTs seem like a match in heaven and we’re just getting started with what can be done. This year, keep an eye out for NFTs from games like Thunder Lands and Metawars among others.

The appeal of blockchain-based gaming is clear: participate in activities you might have already been doing and make some money at the same time in a realm constructed by tokenized and tradable items. While attractive in theory, the reality is that these models cater to those with a familiarity with nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and surrounding technologies. Consider that most of these games present a steep learning curve with some knowledge, costs and other setup required before a player can participate in the ecosystem.

Nonfungible tokens (NFTs) experienced a record-breaking year throughout 2021 in which sales volumes surpassed $14 billion, avatar collectibles permeated the mainstream market to become cultural status symbols, and avant-garde utility sparked innovative Web3 opportunities for a panoply of industries.
