The Future of Gaming, NFTs and Digital Economies: Digital Fashion Innovation
As gaming, VR and other 3D technologies continue to become more and more advanced, hyper-realistic and grow exponentially in adoption, NFTs present unlimited use cases and potential in terms of what they can enable for the virtual goods markets.
In the past year NFTs have gained immense popularity — we reached the first $100 million in sold NFTs in July, and then just in the past weeks the 24-hour trade volume of NFTs listed on the top 5 Ethereum NFT marketplaces surpassed $1 million (Previously only reached after 1 week!). This is really just the beginning, with the NFT market expected to grow over 4X in the coming weeks.
The intersection between gaming and NFTs is starting to present very unique use cases around new industries like digital-only 3D fashion. Digital fashion is still a relatively new market segment, but at its full potential it is going to open up a whole new world for both designers, developers and consumers. The future of seamless immersive digital experiences is all about self-expression and being able to empower concepts of individualism and identity — rooted as some of our most core values as humans, and ultimately, form our human nature. Fashion is a distinct method and channel of communication that allows us to self-express. In the digital world, this desire for self-expression won’t change, and digital fashion will be a huge market segment.
These innovations are creating new natively digital economies and business models that are going to bring in the next trillion dollar industries.
We are bringing together industry leaders across NFTs, gaming and digital fashion to take a deep dive into the use cases, business models, future applications and industry segmentations.
