Every industry finds an innovative NFT use case, from sports to real estate to entertainment. This NFT uses cases to support the market's growth in the country. Moreover, as NFT startups continue to innovate and develop differentiated NFT products, these startups are also raising funding rounds in the country to further accelerate their growth.
The United Kingdom NFT industry is also getting support from the government
Notably, the support from the government towards the development of the NFT industry is a testament to the high growth potential of the NFT market in the United Kingdom. With the NFT market just starting in the country, TechInsight360 expects the industry to record strong growth over the next three to four years.
NFT marketplaces are raising funding rounds to drive their growth in the NFT industry
The global NFT industry is expected to record strong growth over three to four years. In the growing prominence and popularity of the NFT market in the United Kingdom, NFT startups are raising funding rounds to further accelerate the growth of their marketplaces. For instance,
• In March 2022, KnownOrigin, one of the leading NFT marketplaces in the United Kingdom that allows users to discover rare art, announced that the firm had raised US$4.85 million in its Series A funding round, which was led by venture capital firms GBV and Sanctor Capital. Other investors participating in the funding round include Pluto Digital, Cultur3 Capital, LD Capital, and D1 Ventures.
• The NFT startup is planning to use the funding round to further improve its NFT digital art marketplace, to allow creators to benefit from emerging technologies such as Metaverse and Web 3. According to the founder, the funding round will help the firm grow, innovate, and build an NFT ecosystem that will further accelerate the market's growth.
Venture Capital investment firm acquires 50% stake in the UK-based NFT startup
With the NFT market expected to record strong growth over the next three to four years, venture capital firms are increasing their stake in NFT startups in the United Kingdom to get a major market share. For instance,
• In April 2021, Codebase Ventures Inc. (Codebase) announced that the firm had acquired a 50% stake in the UK-based NFT startup, InstaCoin. Notably, the 50% stake acquired by Codebase represents an investment of £100,000 in the NFT startup. InstaCoin allows users to connect their social media profiles to the blockchain and create instant NFT tokens using their content.
NFT platform that allows social media users to connect their profile to blockchain and create NFTs launched in the United Kingdom
Millions of social media users have looking for ways to monetize their content online. Targeting such users, NFT startups are creating innovative products which allow social media users to create NFTs and monetize their content. For instance,
• InstaCoin, an innovative NFT startup in the United Kingdom, allows users to connect their social media profiles to the blockchain and instantly create NFT tokens from their content. This allows social media users to start monetizing the content they have created on social media platforms. Once the NFT tokens are created, followers and fans connect in the open market for immediate sales.
In Germany, NFTs are mainly used in digital trading cards, game characters, virtual lands in virtual worlds, or crypto art. As per a novel crypto exchange aggregator, Coincub, Germany had outrun Singapore as the most crypto-friendly country. Germany adopted blockchain technology long back in 2019, boosting digital transformation. This further made the country an attractive hub for developing blockchain, NFT, Web3, and metaverse applications which are further leveraged in fintech, climate tech, and businesses, including Germany's digital identities project.
Since the country started to allow crypto investments in long-term domestic savings, the country turned out to be the most suitable for crypto investments. Therefore, TechInsight360 anticipates that in a country such as Germany, where the government's policies are smart and sharp and are much ahead of time, the country is likely to witness substantial growth over the next three to four years.
German companies such as About You, SAP, BrainBot, BigchainDB, and others have been developing NFT, Metaverse, Web3, and crypto payment applications in e-commerce platforms. To fund these upcoming new technologies, a New York-based ETF sponsor focused on innovative thematic funds, Roundhill Investments, introduced the Roundhill Ball Metaverse UCITS ETF on the Deutsche Börse Xetra in March 2022. This is Germany's first metaverse exchange-traded fund. Thus, it can be inferred that these developments have enabled Germany to adopt and utilize the NFT market in various businesses and organizations. Further, various blockchain startups had established in Germany's crypto capital of Berlin, boosting the NFT and allied new markets.

The NFT popularity has surged significantly globally over the last 12 months. One of the major reasons behind the growing popularity of NFTs is the rising number of celebrities entering the space. The trends are similar in France as well. For instance,

Through a strategic collaboration with CryptoDragons, the blockchain-based dragon Metaverse project allowing users to collect, sell, breed, and battle NFT dragons, Paul announced that he plans to buy NFTs.
