Nintendo and NFT:-
Nintendo this action clearly reflects the company has no interest in the NFT business. For the Fans who do not know about the NFT, here’s the explanation by businessinsider:
“NFT stands for “non-fungible token.” At a basic level, an NFT is a digital asset that links ownership to unique physical or digital items, such as works of art, real estate, music, or videos.”
“As NFTs for digital artwork have sold for millions – sometimes tens of millions – of dollars, to say they’re popular could be an undersell. In the first half of 2021, NFT sales hit $2.5 billion.”
