Why It Matters

Imagine if eBay issued a token in 1997 and you could ape in…

Now is a great time to buy $QUIDD, particularly if you’re looking for exposure to the ever-growing market of collectibles, NFTs, and other rare products in the web3 ecosystem. Here are a few highlights worth noting:

Physical collectibles are booming. The global sports trading card market was valued at US$14 Billion in 2019 and is projected to reach US$99 Billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 23% in that time period alone. And now, activity is up across the sector, from resale aftermarkets (like eBay) to value-added services that offer authentication and grading. It has been Quidd’s thesis from the very beginning that, like other categories before it, the collectibles category was about to undergo a massive format shift, from cardboard to code. Quidd, with the new QUIDD token, is helping to lead the way, flipping the category from physical to digital, by putting more and more of it on the blockchain, guaranteeing true digital property rights.
NFTs are here to stay, in a big way. NFT sales volume surged to US$2.5 billion in the first half of 2021 as total crypto wallet holders grew to 75 million by July 2021. In Q3, sales surged even further, hitting US$10.7 billion in the quarter alone. With mainstream media, brands, and celebrities jumping on board, more and more new users are flocking to the NFT space. The blockchain industry as a whole has seen an average of 1.54 million daily unique active wallets during Q3, representing 509% year-over-year growth. Quidd, with over 325 world-class brands available to collect and over 7 Million collectors, represents a significant opportunity to take NFT adoption even further into the mainstream.
Utility tokens are essential instruments to nurture NFT communities. DeFi tokens hit US$113 billion in total locked value as of November 2021. Why? Tokens are vital instruments for aligning incentives among broad-scale communities, including consumers, creators, and developers. And, it is this incentive alignment, shifting away from “users” and “payers” to “members” and “owners,” that is the hallmark of the new web3 movement. Beyond enabling true digital ownership through NFTs, the QUIDD Token helps form a more cooperative economy that will hold the community together for the next 100 years.

Think of it this way: collecting is a long-term game as collectibles are owned by and exchanged amongst a community. NFTs technology unlocks true digital property rights ensuring an individual collector can own her collectible forever. The token is the economic instrument that binds her and her collectible to a community of millions of other collectors, forever.
