In our Web3 news this week, we have two exciting news items that showcase how NFTs are becoming part of our everyday life. Starbucks, which is already part of our daily life in a big way, has announced their Web3 initiative by launching a new NFT based rewards program for coffee. Can’t get more every day than this. And I also have announcements about Binance entering NFT based ticketing solution space for sports, and not just for normal local sports, but this is for UEFA championships, so it’s as big as that. And Binance has announced their plans to roll out an NFT based ticketing solutions. I’ll link to both these stories. Great road maps for what is in store for NFTs in the days to come.
