For Deloitte, sports NFT sales will double in 2022

The NBA Top Shot, the NFT-enabled digital makeover of NBA sports collectibles, has inspired other sports to launch their own markets. With its most recent groundbreaking partnership with Infinite Objects, it continues to engage sports fans around the world. This partnership allows Top Shot owners to immortalize their favorite clips in the real world with officially licensed looped video frames from Infinite Objects.

Dapper Labs, the company behind the popular NFT NBA Top Shot fantasy basketball game, is now building a similar platform for the NFL. Pete Giorgio, Deloitte’s head of US sports practice, talked about the future of NFTs in sport in the coming year, in an interview with Sportico. The consulting giant predicts that by the end of 2022, up to five million sports fans will invest in collectible cryptographic products.

“NFTs are just the beginning of what can be done with cryptographic and blockchain technologies,” said Giorgio. “As organizations begin to embrace these technologies, it will be interesting to find out how they will use them“. Giorgio also talked about how the sports industry will adapt to the internet of the future. “I think sports organizations are actually some of the most adaptable organizations.” “Once the industry understands the scale of the opportunity, I think you will see them move quickly and embrace it.”
