I have already explained NFTs in a previous article. If you still don’t know about NFT, you must read about it. NFTs act as proof of ownership for digital items like media, videos, art, game items, and more. In this way, it helps to organize the exclusive ownership data.

Crypto companies are spending big on promotions. In IPL 2021, Indian crypto exchanges like WazirX, CoinSwitch, Kuber, and CoinDCX spent crores in advertising. Although the year 2022 was not good for crypto companies. Most crypto companies face serious allegations and ED raided their offices. So, crypto companies decided not to advertise in IPL and other cricket tournaments.

Although the crypto market in India saw a huge drop in recent months, it also affected NFT sales. NFTs still have the potential to bounce back. It could be used in several industries to keep track of ownership of different digital and physical items.
