S1E5: How does crypto, NFTs and blockchain link to the Metaverse?- AskST

Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses Singapore's latest news and announcements. Cryptocurrencies are more than just about 'crypto bros' and NFTs more than bored ape artwork. Beyond the hype, there are many practical, useful - and fun - applications. These innovative technologies have also recently come under more scrutiny – in October, the @Monetary Authority of Singapore - MAS proposed new rules to curb speculation while the Singapore High Court ruled that NFTs can be considered as property. The @Singapore FinTech Festival happening this week (2-4 Nov) will be sure to garner more debate about its uses.
