NFTs can help in securing rights
Sinha said that the country is already a leader in animation, the virtual world and related technology. He also believes that NFTS will help in improving obtaining ownership of digital assets. Any digital art like famous photographs and movies can be secured with the use of NFTs.
Sinha also said that blockchain-related technology will prove to be very helpful for the growth of the country, the Economic Times reported.
The usage of Non-Fungible Tokens will eventually increase as the users will engage more in the Metaverse. The majority of the population spends most of their time on mobile screens, computers and other electronic devices, Sinha said.
