Non-Fungible Token (NFT) 101: Accelerating Adoption in Indonesia

There are currently four local NFT marketplace services available

The global non-fungible token (NFT) fever which occurred since early this year has opened up opportunities for local players to offer easy ownership of (digital) art objects that have been absent for collectors. This year alone, there are at least four NFT marketplace platforms available in Indonesia. Those areTokoMall, Kolektibel, ChickenKingNFT (owned by KFC), and Paras Digital, offering its own unique value.

According to Wette.de data, the global NFT has $43.08 billion market cap and a trading volume of around $3.6 billion. Meanwhile, according to DappRadar, NFT sales volume jumped to $10.7 billion in Q3 2021, rises over eight times from the previous quarter.

The world's largest NFT marketplace, OpenSea, recorded sales volumes of up to $3.4 billion in August 2021. The activities remained strong through September when global stock markets faltered. Rising cryptocurrency prices during the COVID-19 pandemic is often said to drive the growth of the NFT market — as people use cryptocurrencies to buy NFTs — but analysts say crypto assets have value, regardless of market conditions.
