In an interview with Cointelegraph, Josh Katz, CEO of NFT marketplace YellowHeart, shared his thoughts on using NFTs in ticketing, what the NFT space will look like in the future and whether NFTs can eventually surpass crypto in popularity.

When asked about his thoughts on what the NFT industry will look like in the years to come, Katz said that NFTs will be involved in many day-to-day activities in various industries. He said that this will happen when people realize that NFTs can increase engagement and cut out intermediaries:

Katz also shared his thoughts on whether NFTs could become bigger than cryptos like Bitcoin (BTC). He explained that there is room for both as the two blockchain-based technologies have their own unique utilities and use cases. “Crypto is transforming how we make payments, and NFTs are employed to grant digital ownership and authenticity in inventive new ways,” Katz said.
