The Digital Asset Revolution: How mainstream companies are embracing NFTs, the Metaverse and Web3

You may think NFTs and Web3 is all about cartoon apes being sold as speculative investments. But there is much more to the digital asset revolution and many mainstream companies are embracing this technology.

The impact will be felt across all industries, but especially retail, entertainment, sports, financial services, healthcare, education, government and professional services.

In this session Nick will explain:

• What is Web3 and the Metaverse exactly
• Why are companies like Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Nike and Alfa Romeo issuing NFTs
• Why are banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered buying land in the Metaverse
• Which assets can benefit from being tokenised
• How is NFT technology being used to stop counterfeiting of tickets, luxury goods and more
• Why are banks like ANZ, NAB and JP Morgan issuing their own cryptocurrencies
• What will be the opportunities that arise from Web3 in your industry
• The major legal issues in Web3 projects
