The “Digital Assets: Exploring the Metaverse & Crypto Assets” event will consist of virtual panels with executive management from several public and private companies, moderated by Maxim Group Research Analysts. Areas of focus include: the impact of rising rates on the value of bitcoin, NFTs, and other digital assets, future market opportunities and development around collectables and gaming, emerging regulation around crypto assets and trading, as well as the application of NFTs and the metaverse to personal identity.
WISekey will be giving an update on its new WISe.ART 2.1 NFT Marketplace version that it is fully operational and includes new features providing art collectors and artists a secure marketplace and platform where NFT buyers and sellers can easily connect their crypto wallets to instantly purchase or list their NFTs for sale. The new design of the WISe.Art 2.1 platform ensures that besides an authenticated and signed version of the actual digital asset, an irreversible link to a physical object is set up, in addition to proof of ownership, provenance and a set of contracts describing future use and monetization streams, if relevant.
The NFT tokenization uses the WISeKey registered patent application, “System and Method for Providing Persistent Authenticatable NFT” in the USA. With this method, NFTs have increased in value and will hold their long-term value.
NFTs and the platform are secured by WISeKey’s own security technology enabling the protection of physical objects as well as digital assets in a safe end-to-end process. Smart contracts and physical contracts can be included in the NFTs to describe the usage rights of the NFT buyer, including monetization of their collection. It also allows the original creator to potentially participate in future royalties. This option creates new funding opportunities for artists with large collections, as well as sophisticated ways for a better appreciation of their work.
