The market for GAME industries is growing faster than ever driven by Millennials and the Gen Z generation and the advent of technologies like blockchain and NFTs have unlocked business models that were hitherto unavailable. To specify a metric based on marketplace data, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) surged to new highs in the second quarter, with $2.5 billion in sales so far this year, up from just $13.7 million in the first half of 2020! The NFT Sales on OpenSea was near USD$150m just in June 2021 and rose to USD2billion in transactions in August 2021. In-Game items, Art Memorabilia, Musical Moments, and Entertainable Moments have all now found a place in the digital realm via NFTs.
