So why am I confident that Asia will become the world’s largest space for them? For four key reasons.
First, our daily lives are becoming ever more tech-driven – and this is picking up momentum all the time. Nowhere is this more true than in Asia, where there is already the highest level of adoption of tech products with advanced features, according to most research, including a detailed study by the German market research institute GfK. There is no reason for this not to extend to NFTs.
Second, it is about demographics. With a growing middle-class segment with increasing spending power and a younger demographic – who are “digital natives,” having grown up under the ubiquitous influence of the Internet and other technologies – there will be increasing demand for tech-orientated products such as digital investments.
Third, China – the world’s second-largest and Asia’s largest economy – has recently been making bullish comments about cryptocurrencies, which are the way NFTs are bought.
Normally, the People’s Republic embraces new tech ahead of much of the rest of the world – we just have to look at the ubiquitous usage of QR codes and live-streaming – yet cryptocurrencies have been in a regulatory quagmire in China. But this now seems to be changing.
It is shifting toward digital currencies and blockchain, the technology on which crypto runs. In March, they were mentioned in a draft of China’s national Five-Year Plan, the first time the groundbreaking tech has appeared in any official documentation.
In April, shortly after China launched its own digital currency, the digital yuan, the National Development and Reform Commission told a news conference, “China will find its own way for NFTs to grow, and policies and regulations will follow.”
Fourth, NFTs are positively changing business models, especially in the creative industries, which are growing in economic, cultural and social importance across Asia.
Artists , musicians , film for example can provide enhanced virtual experiences for collectors and buyers, they can prove their works are not counterfeited, and they can include criteria to get royalties every time their works are resold in the future.
While NFTs are the hottest new digital asset class, I would still urge investors to exercise extreme caution. This market is still very young. But there’s no denying it is likely to explode in Asia.
