Statement From Samsung
Samsung’s executive vice president and Samsung Next venture group’s head, David Lee, praised Nifty’s innovation in the NFT space:
“Our business strives to shape the future by identifying the technologies, trends and ideas that matter. […] What Nifty’s has developed in such a short time deeply impressed us, and we cannot wait to see how they shape the future of NFT engagement.”
Nifty and NFT
Nifty’s NFT-focused social networking platform was previously announced in March of this year, with prominent names like Mark Cuban and Joseph Lubin as investors. The project’s ultimate goal is to build a social media community for digital collectables that promotes human connections while supporting the emerging creative scene.
Consequently, the rising mainstream acceptance of digital assets and, by consequence, digital collectables has boosted the NFT industry in 2021. NFT sales surpassed $2.5 billion in the first half of the year, according to Cointelegraph. The volume of NFT trade has also increased, with one estimate forecasting a doubling in volume between May and October.
