Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have swept through the minds of the crypto community and have become a valuable digital commodity. The rising popularity of the art attests to its over 100 million market cap in just a few years of inception.
Clearly, NFTs are enabling crypto inventors to dive deep and imagine more use cases for the evolving economy. They are on the move to shift NFTs from just a mere digital asset into an even more valuable addition to the growing crypto ecosystem. For instance, brands are already adopting it into DeFi and the gaming world.
In a recent tweet, Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong expressed the same sentiment towards NFTs. The CEO tweeted to his over 907 thousand followers on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) that he is amazed seeing the energy and optimism in New York this week around NFTs.
He went on to say that he is elated that many young talents are coming into the crypto space with new use cases. These new cases will further aid to build the economy of NFTs. Particularly, Brian Armstrong tweeted the aforementioned following the just concluded NFT event hosted by Crypto Art Fair in conjunction with NFT.NYC.
