Future uses of NFTs in eSports worldwide in 2021
The eSports industry has boomed in recent years, in no small part thanks to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which forced people to seek alternative forms of entertainment during the widescale cancelation of professional sporting events. An industry that has experienced a similar meteoric rise is non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which assign a unique identifier to digital assets. During a survey of eSports industry professionals in October 2021, approximately 64 percent felt that digital player cards of professional gamers, streamers, or content creators would become increasingly prevalent NFTs over the next 12 months.
