This webinar will review the history and recent performance of the NFT markets, asking what threatens the markets and what will enable them to continue to grow, particularly through institutional involvement, infrastructural investment and regulatory engagement.
Among the topics to be discussed at this webinar are:
Who invented NFTs?
1. What explains the recent growth of the NFT markets?
2. How can NFTs best be categorised?
3. What are the sources of value of an NFT?
4. What are the links between blockchain, crypto-currencies, tokenisation and DeFI?
5. How will NFTs interact with traditional finance?
6. What are the pros and cons of the NFT industry being based on Ethereum?
7. Is the current infrastructure of the NFT markets adequate for sustained growth?
8. How do NFT custody arrangements compare with crypto-currency and security token custody arrangements?
9. NFT markets are concentrated, thinly traded and volatile, but used mainly by retail investors. Do you anticipate a regulatory backlash?
10. Is the early domination of the NFT markets by modern artists an encouraging sign or a worrying sign?
11. An NFT marketplace employee was accused of trading on inside information about NFT issues. How useful is the blockchain in detecting such behaviour?
12. What will attract institutional investors to the NFT markets?
13. NFT markets have attracted scammers. How useful is the blockchain in defeating them and what can be done to defeat them?
14. Are NFTs, like crypto-currency markets, susceptible to accusations that money is being laundered and tax evaded?
15. Having to obtain crypto-currency first is a barrier to entry for many potential NFT investors. How can it best be cleared?
16. To what extent is lack of legal and regulatory certainty a barrier to entry to NFT markets?
17. Are NFTs pioneering a new form of capitalism in which the principal incentive is not price but affiliation?
18. How much difference would user-friendly entry points make to the NFT markets?
19. Are NFTs a bubble or durable innovation?
20. What will the NFT markets look like in five years’ time?
