YouTube is exploring ways in which its creators can capitalise on nonfungible tokens (NFTs), a letter from YouTube CEO Susan Wojcick suggests.
“We’re also looking further ahead to the future and have been following everything happening in Web3 as a source of inspiration to continue innovating on YouTube. The past year in the world of crypto, and even decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) has highlighted a previously unimaginable opportunity to grow the connection between creators and their fans,” Wojcick wrote, outlining the platform’s priorities this year.
“We’re always focused on expanding the YouTube ecosystem to help creators capitalise on emerging technologies, including things like NFTs, while continuing to strengthen and enhance the experiences creators and fans have on YouTube,” the letter further read.
