Speaking with David Lin, anchor of Kitco News at the Paris Blockchain Summit, Gate.io’s chief marketing officer (CMO), Marie Tatibouet, discussed the future of the non-fungible tokens and the growth of the cryptocurrency sector in general. Notably, Tatibouet emphasized the rise of the tokenized collectibles, particularly in light of the fact that a large number of new users in the market are now entering the crypto space via NFTs rather than through more conventional established cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, as they previously did. When talking about Kevin O’Leary, the prominent investor on Shark Tank who said that he believes NFTs would be greater than Bitcoin in terms of market capitalization, referring to the whole NFT market, the Gate.io CMO agreed:
Hype around NFTs
The two also discussed the excitement surrounding NFTs and how some believe they have been overhyped to the point where they’ve been blown out of proportion in terms of valuations and that this might lead to a correction in value and potentially even a fall in sentiment and popularity for the foreseeable future. Tatibouet believes that there has been a lot of hype, and things generally come crashing down, “just like the dotcom.com bubble, but eventually, there is adoption.” She added: Finally, the CMO believes that the metaverse is really exciting, bringing new creators into the space who can monetize their craft without a formal education in arts but who can be compensated for building in the space, which is rewarding.
