De populariteit van non-fungible tokens (NFT's) blijft ongeëvenaard ondanks de heersende cryptowinter en de snelle daling van de NFT-handelsvolumes. De algemene belangstelling voor blockchain-technologie en digitale kunst blijft groot bij bedrijven, en het is absoluut noodzakelijk op te merken dat veel grote namen hebben besloten om hun NFT- en metaverse-ondernemingen aan te gaan. Interessant is dat een Amerikaans sportmagazine dat voor het eerst werd gepubliceerd in 1954, Sports Illustrated, het debuut heeft aangekondigd van een nieuw NFT-ticketingplatform op basis van de Polygon (MATIC) blockchain in een poging om te profiteren van de populariteit van blockchain-technologie. 

The new service from Sports Illustrated has been titled “Box Office,” and it will allow the event organizers to issue commemorative non-fungible token tickets which will also include pre- and post-event audience perks. The platform has been described as a self-service event management and primary ticketing solution with the Polygon blockchain as its foundation. 

Moreover, the new ticketing platform has been created by Sports Illustrated in collaboration with Web3 software developer ConsenSys. It will enable “owners, organizers and hosts the ability to create, manage, and promote a fully scalable, paid or free ticketed live sporting event.”

Additionally, Sports Illustrated Tickets and ConsenSys will work together to develop a “Super Ticket,” which will allow the hosts to remain connected to their attendees with the help of highlights, collectibles, exclusive offers, and loyalty benefits via NFT technology. The CEO of SI Tickets, David Lane, believes that “blockchain is the future of ticketing.”

“From the moment we launched our global event marketplace, which now boasts 50 million tickets to over 250,000 sports, concerts, and shows, we have been preparing to enter and disrupt the primary ticket market,” Lane said. 

With the help of the “Super Ticket,” the attendees can scan their NFTs and gain expedited entries to the events hosted by the organizers. Furthermore, they can also receive drink coupons and music downloads prior to the event and can receive post-event video content and rewards as well.

Ongeacht de heersende crypto-winter, blijven veel bedrijven NFT-ondernemingen aangaan met meerdere partnerschappen. WeTransfer, een op internet gebaseerd computerbestandsoverdrachtsbedrijf dat onlangs in 2009 is opgericht samen met blockchain-platform Minima to focus on the deployment of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Minima network and also empower creators all over the globe with “digital rights management for their intellectual property.”  

Bovendien introduceerde China zijn eerste gereguleerde NFT-handelsplaats op 1 januari 2023. Het is gemaakt door het staatsbedrijf Chinese Technology Exchange, Art Exhibitions China en het particuliere Huban Digital Copyrights Ltd.
