It’s official! FTX is launching it’s very own Gaming division!

The company is now gearing to venture into the Crypto Gaming and NFT universe. Speaking to Yahoo Finance FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried said that the company is excited to invest in whatever the Metaverse ends up being!

FTX will provide “Crypto As A Service” with the initial offering. This will certainly be a “game” changer quite literally. Game publishers can now launch their own tokens and release NFTs to provide in-game support. Stating to Bloomberg an FTX spokesperson told that the company sees games as an exciting use case of crypto!
Although gamers at this point see the whole blockchain based gaming as a li’l excess. But it does open a whole new frontier in gaming and gamification. The success (or otherwise) much remains to be seen.
