David Pan, International Strategic Advisor and Director of ACE Exchange, said:
“In the NFT trading boom, digital content creators have benefited the most. In the past, most of the digital works were uploaded to social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok or Spotify, and they were easily copied and hard to profit.”
“Nowadays, unique digital content can be sold directly through NFT. In addition, NFT can also register unique ownership, giving the owner an additional “Proof of Ownership”. For Lioneers players and NFT investors, it is more secure and worth showing off. “
