NFT Tech Announces Multi-Year Deal With World Table Tennis

August 16, 2022 Singapore Blockchain

NFT Technologies Inc. (NEO: NFT | OTC Pink: NFTFF | FRA: 8LO) (the “Company” or “NFT Tech”), a leading technology company mainstreaming decentralized ownership, NFTs and the metaverse for public markets, announced an exclusive multi-year deal with World Table Tennis to develop and execute a web3 strategy that will engage the global fan base and reach the frontier of emerging technology.

In an exclusive multi-year deal, Singapore-headquartered World Table Tennis (WTT) has partnered with NFT Tech. The partnership will span end-to-end web3 strategy encompassing fan engagement to digital collectibles, metaverse experiences, play-to-earn, and move-to-earn gaming. WTT reported an outstanding global fanbase of 519 million while it runs over 50 global events annually and attracts hundreds of millions of unique viewers.

“I’m extremely excited for what we’ll be able to show off to the world,” said Adam De Cata, CEO at NFT Tech. “Table tennis is exploding in terms of global popularity and participation and the WTT has been very forward-looking and progressive in leading sports technology innovation. We’re going to be able to build exciting multi-faceted experiences that further elevate fan and player engagement including play-to-earn, which in itself is a multiple-billion-dollar opportunity space.”

“WTT has been researching and planning its entry into the web3 space for over 15 months now, studying and analyzing ways in which we can create greater fan engagement through web3,” says Michael Brown, WTT Chief Financial Officer. “The partnership with NFT Tech is the first major step on this journey. NFT Tech has proven to be a leader in the space when it comes to technology innovation in sport, which we believe is crucial when it comes to growing our sport. We believe that coming up with a web3 strategy will resonate with our core fanbase and their interests, while also attracting new fans to participate in the world of table tennis!”

In addition to dominating the table tennis sphere, Asia also leads crypto adoption and tech innovation. In 2021, Metamask, a cryptocurrency wallet leader, reported over 10 million monthly active users and stated Asia was leading the pack when it came to wallet adoption growth. Despite Asia’s dominant position in the cryptocurrency adoption space, there is still much growth potential, with only 3.6% and 10% of the population owning crypto in Southeast Asia and Singapore, respectively.

“This multi-year partnership is a natural continuation of the momentum NFT Tech built at the Australian Open,” continued Adam. “With fifty annual events (as opposed to just one), World Table Tennis presents a ton of potential – not just with new projects or ideas, but also with a business model that leverages resale royalties. With so many tournaments and events, we’ll be able to drive more utility for owning certain NFTs that will come with huge benefits to the fans but also huge opportunity for NFT Tech.”
