 1.1: Introduction and Industry Profile
A NFT is an advanced testament (a "token") that remembers one as the proprietor
of a computerized record that has no equivalent to it (it is "non-fungible"). These
declarations are made ("printed") and sold on blockchain - a similar innovation
behind cryptographic forms of money. It additionally tracks exchanges to forestall
fake, with Ethereum being the most famous NFT blockchain. An NFT, then, is
destined to be exceptional: regardless of the number of computerized duplicates
there are - MP3, JPEG, and so on - there is only one "unique" record. Basically, a
NFT proprietor purchases possession freedoms.

The worldwide non-fungible tokens market was esteemed at $250 million out of
2020 and is assessed to appreciate with a roaring CAGR somewhere in the range
of 2021 and 2026.

Non-Fungible Tokens are effectively interchangeable and exclusively

extraordinary computerized resources which are hung on specific square chains,
fundamentally Ethereum yet additionally others like Matic, Flow, Wax, and others.
NFT exists in an advanced space as well as address any sort of actual resource,
going about as a sort of 'computerized twin' to anything existing in reality and
empowering the proprietorship and trade of actual belongings inside advanced

commercial centres. Genuine proprietorship is one of the characterizing key parts
of any NFT and, as the computerized economies keep on flourishing, there are high
possibilities of NFT to assume a critical part in bringing the advanced and actual
universes more like each other than ever previously.

NFT is being thought of as fate of proprietorship by its clients. A wide range of

property - from occasion passes to houses - will ultimately have their possession
status tokenised as such. Having a responsibility for made content is assessed to
drive the market. The primary driver for the development of NFT market is
Page 7|
computerized craftsmanship. NFTs assist the advanced specialists with achieving
possession for their computerized craftsmanship. They can get more pay through
NFTs, as they can get eminence each time the NFT is executed after the underlying

deal. NFT collectibles market will increment significantly as fan commitment will
increment. For example, NBA's Top Shoot blockchain result of LeBron James
feature sold for $200,000. The Metaverse, virtual land, exchanging will extensively
increment during the conjecture time

frame. Gaming Industries are concocting imaginative development games, for

example, Strategy Role Playing Game, where the client can make a game person
and utilizing NFT can

get the responsibility for character which later can be placed up at a bargain on
different commercial centre (Rarible, OpenSea, and so forth.).

Sébastien Borget, prime supporter and COO of The Sandbox, remarked in a

meeting, "The quantity of potential use cases for NFT keeps on developing with
time, and perpetually inventive model show up consistently. NFT can truly address
any class of advanced resource. Regardless, there are a small bunch of especially
famous use cases, for example, in-game resources, exchanging cards/collectibles,
virtual land, area names and masterpiece."

Analysis of Market Segmentation

Non-Fungible Tokens Market - By Type:

Page 8|
Computerized Art and Gaming NFTs will add to the most extreme portion of NFTs
exchanges. In Gaming all the more explicitly and up to this point, any in-
application buys or virtual money purchased in allowed to-mess around couldn't
be removed, re-utilized, exchanged, or utilized in alternate ways across games or
stages. All in all, they were transient consumable products. With NFTs, anything
purchased in the games will really have a place with proprietor. As purchased
resource will be enlisted on the client's name. Every resource is extraordinarily
recognizable, can have a provable predetermined number of duplicates and can be
moved between clients, without requesting the authorization from the engineer. Far
better, it can likewise be moved external the game, put available to be purchased
on a commercial center or even utilized inside another game, giving additional
utility and interactivity across different games.

Advanced craftsmanship is prompting new manifestations, which is opening the

entryways for additional individuals to become intrigued and engaged with the
workmanship world. The craftsmen in this space will proceed to enhance and
deliver work that will keep on pushing the limits of at present artistic expression.
Be that as it may, there's a disadvantage to this customary advanced craftsmanship
i.e., thing can be duplicated and reproduced limitless times at no expense. To beat
this downside computerized workmanship is presently placed up on blockchain
and is changed into a NFT to such an extent that is can't be reproduced. This has
offered the computerized craftsmen a chance to acquire through their works of art.

Page 9|
Attributable to this reason it is assessed that advanced craftsmanship will add to
the extensive measure of worldwide non-fungible market

Non-Fungible Tokens Market - By Market Type:

NFT market is segmented into two segments:

• Primary market/sale
• Secondary market/sale
Primary market/sale is determined by the first and original sale of an asset and
secondary market/sale is determined by the sale of the asset occurring after the
initial primary market sale.

As of now, the advanced workmanship and sports portions adds to the most
extreme portion of the essential market. As computerized specialists are becoming
mindful of the Non-Fungible Tokens and the idea of responsibility for advanced
workmanship, they are putting their computerized craftsmanship available to be
purchased on different NFT commercial centres. Attributable to this reason the
essential market of advanced craftsmanship is assessed to develop impressively
during the estimate time frame. In the meantime, the optional market will keep on
leftover extremely restricted as work of advanced workmanship is considered as a
holding resource by the purchaser for getting great ROI over the long haul. Sports
fragment is quickly picking up speed as sports ventures are understanding the
capability of blockchain advances. Expanded chances to build the fan commitment,
enamour supports and connect with into the worldwide market. For example, in
P a g e 10 |
the midst of COVID-19 pandemic, in year 2020 Sorare; a dream round of soccer,
where players purchase, sell, exchange, and deal with a virtual group with
advanced player cards; noticed an offer of $5.7 million (US). The essential market
of sports portion is noticing an upsurge however before long the games section is
assessed to arrive at a development point and now the NFT market of sports will
be driven by auxiliary deals market.

The gaming section right now is in its full-grown state as more than 75 % of the
exchanges are made on the optional market. Yet at the same time the gaming
market actually has critical development potential. The collectibles portion has
additionally arrived at its development state, yet not at all like gaming fragment
the collectibles section tokens are given fundamentally on the essential market i.e.,
around 70% of the all-out collectible's deal and exchange on optional market is
generally not many.

Non-Fungible Tokens Market - By Cryptocurrency Usage

Every one of the exchanges on different NFT commercial centres, blockchain

gaming stages are finished utilizing different digital forms of money. Ethereum
(ETH) is generally widely utilized for exchanging NFTs. For example; Sorare, F1
Delta; NBA Top shot utilizes ETH cryptographic money. New digital forms of
money will be presented during the gauge time frame as it is viewed as a protected
of managing exchanges.

P a g e 11 |
Digital currencies are utilized for NFT exchanges since it is a fake resistant
exchange and every one of the exchanges are transferred on a public record. This
record guarantees that every one of the exchanges between the "advanced wallet"
can compute an exact equilibrium. This large number of exchanges are checked by
the digital money supplier to ensure that the coins utilized are possessed by the
high-roller. This guarantee got computerized exchange encryption and "brilliant
agreements" that makes the element practically unhackable and drained of
extortion.

Regional Analysis

Non-fungible symbolic market has kept on building up forward movement in the

U.S., as brands like Gucci have carried out advanced just shoes and craftsmen like
Beeple have established standards via extravagant sold works of art. The NBA
banded together with Canadian-based Dapper Labs, producers of the CryptoKitties
game, to make its rendition of a collectible computerized resource. NBA Top Shot
is a crypto-collectible customers can buy as a non-fungible token (NFT).

In Europe, France is humming with NFT new companies in the midst of this
pandemic. In March 2021, NFT start-up Arianne, which guarantees responsibility
for extravagance products, brought €9m up in VC. That came only fourteen days
after NFT-based dream football stage Sorare raised a €40m round of VC drove by
International A-rundown financial backers like Benchmark and Accel.

P a g e 12 |
In Asia, Indian organization WazirX, the nation's Bitcoin and cryptographic money
trade and exchanging stage, reported that it will send off a non-fungible tokens
(NFT) commercial centre for Indian specialists and makers for the sale of their
advanced resources and procure sovereignties. NFTs are turning into a pattern in
China yet the Chinese workmanship market has an incredibly unfortunate
comprehension of crypto craftsmanship, and Chinese NFT specialists have a great
deal of catchup work to do contrasted with its western partners. Also,

additionally, the effect of Chinese guidelines, which are especially tough with
regards to the crypto space.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Non-Fungible Tokens Market

The Covid-19 pandemic has constrained populaces into a more inactive way of life
because of summed up lock-downs across the world. These populaces, of any age
and of all starting points, have needed to observe options for social collaboration
whose control had denied them. In this way, these clients turned out to be essential
for different web-based Metaverses stage to increment social communication and
to get openness of NFTs. For example, AxieInfinity, an advanced pet universe on
blockchain, has drawn in a huge number of rookies to blockchain innovation from
emerging nations who were searching for new revenue streams during the Covid
pandemic. As per NonFungible.com; in 2020 the NFT market became by 299%
when contrasted with 2019.

 1.2: Company Profile
In 2017 the world saw the introduction of CryptoKitties. Interestingly, the world
encountered a decentralized application based on blockchains yet targeted towards
a standard crowd.

While CryptoKitties felt like a toy to many, it addressed a sensational change by

the way they cooperate with things in the computerized world. While past
advanced things lived on organization servers, blockchain-local things lived on
shared, public blockchains claimed by no single party. They could be seen
anyplace, traded straightforwardly, and genuinely possessed in a way that was
rarely before conceivable in the computerized world.

Interested by the development that was shaping, Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah
joined early adopter networks in Discord and began conversing with clients. With
the OpenSea beta send off in December 2017, the principal open commercial center
for any non-fungible token on the Ethereum blockchain was conceived.

As an organization, they’re excited to be at the focal point of this developing

industry, and will keep on putting resources into our center foundation as we
assemble the most available commercial center for purchasers, dealers, and
makers. OpenSea is an American internet based non-fungible token (NFT)

P a g e 14 |
commercial centre settled in New York City. The organization was established by
Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah in 2017.OpenSea offers a commercial centre taking
into account non-fungible tokens to be sold straightforwardly at a decent cost, or
through a bartering, in view of the Ethereum ERC-721 norm and the layer-2 scaling
answer for Ethereum Polygon.In 2021, following an uplifted interest in non-
fungible tokens, the organization's income came to $95 million in February 2021
and $2.75 billion in September of that year. By January 2022, the organization had
been esteemed at $13.3 billion and has been viewed as the prevailing non-fungible
symbolic commercial centre.

History

OpenSea brought $2.1 million up in funding (counting from Animoca Brands) in

November 2019.

In December 2020, OpenSea reported that any client can mint NFTs on its
foundation free of charge. Afterward, in March 2021, OpenSea reported NFT
assortments would never again require OpenSea's past endorsement to be recorded.
This choice was subsequently condemned for permitting widespread NFT
copyright infringement on the platform.

On September 17, 2021, OpenSea delivered an application for Android and iOS.
The application takes into consideration perusing the commercial centre, yet not
trading NFTs.That very month, OpenSea conceded that a representative occupied
with insider exchanging. OpenSea's Head of Product accumulated NFTs not long
before they were highlighted in the homepage.

In January 2022, Twitter declared that it would utilize OpenSea's API to allow
individuals to make hexagonal moulded profile photos of their NFTs.That month,
OpenSea obtained Ethereum wallet-producer Dharma Labs, and OpenSea repaid
clients about $1.8 million after a UI bug permitted clients to purchase more than
$1 million worth of NFTs at a discount.

P a g e 17 |
On January 27, 2022, OpenSea reported it would restrict the number of NFTs a
client can make utilizing the free printing tool. The next day, OpenSea switched
the choice following client kickback and later conceded that 80% of NFTs made
with the device were literary theft or spam.

On February 19, 2022, a few clients started to report that a portion of their NFTs
vanished. OpenSea later uncovered a phishing assault had occurred on its
foundation through an adventure in the Wyvern Platform. The organization denied
bits of hearsay the wellspring of

the robbery was their site, its posting frameworks, messages from the organization,
or an updated agreement system. On February 20, 2022, news announcing asserted
that $1.7 million in NFTs had been taken in the phishing attack.

In March 2022, OpenSea reported that it would hinder accounts subject to United
States sanctions.

In April 2022, OpenSea empowered clients to trade famous Solana NFTs on

OpenSea's Solana beta. This component was reported back in November 2021.

On April 25, 2022, OpenSea declared to get the NFT commercial centre aggregator
organization Gem.xyz.

Research Methodology, Data Processing and

Analysis

P a g e 22 |
 2.1: Research Methodology
Descriptive research was performed to gain the knowledge of the 51 respondents
on the topic “Investors awareness on Cryptocurrencies and NFT’s”. A survey was
released in PES University with reference to the NFT trading and marketplace,
Opensea. The questions in this survey helped me analyze the investors awareness
about cryptocurrencies and NFT’s. The survey consists of 10 questions relating to
the topic “Investors awareness on Cryptocurrencies and NFT’s”. The target
audience were people who had at least a little knowledge about cryptocurrencies
and NFT’s so that I could get a detailed idea about what people think about
cryptocurrencies and NFT’s. There were no constraints based on gender or age.
Those factors were purely randomly picked. A literature review is conducted to
realise the need for adoption of Cryptocurrency and NFT’s. The goal is to review
the existing literature on the cryptocurrency adoption, examine the realised
adoption level, and try to classify and give an in-depth analysis of the factors
influencing the decision for adoption of cryptocurrency and NFT’s. These 51
respondents were asked 10 questions based on their knowledge and what they think
is important for the adoption of cryptocurrency as a typical payment option in the
future.

Findings and Suggestion

Findings & Suggestions

From this research I found that:

• Education about cryptocurrencies and NFT’s is a must provide as many

people are still unaware about how crypto and NFT’s work.

• A regulatory body should be made for crypto transactions as of now crypto
transactions are not taxed which could cause people to exploit the volatility
of the crypto market.
• The volatility of the market has to be controlled as people could go bankrupt
due sudden dips in the market which could cause global level financial
problems.
• I would suggest keeping multiple wallets so that you can keep your
cryptocurrencies and NFT’s safe and prevent frauds by hacker’s and fraud
masters

Conclusion
From the research done, we can say that cryptocurrencies and NFT’s are picking
up in India and will soon be a vital payment option for individuals and firms to
use and accept as payment. The blockchain technology which the
cryptocurrencies work on is a very secure network which cannot be hacked that
easily, this shows that cryptocurrencies can replace banks and prevent bank
frauds. This will help with secure transactions between two parties, Also,
cryptocurrencies are a great way to make a good amount of passive income. This
will open better job opportunities to work in metaverse companies with the
introduction of NFT’s into the mix it gives a better investment option for real
estate investors to invest in virtual land i.e., land available in the metaverse.

From this research, we can tell that people need to be educated about the
cryptocurrencies and the metaverse so that they can use their NFT’s for good
reasons and make a good amount of passive income from each NFT. With
regards of crypto being a future payment option, according to my findings
relating to the respondent’s answers, I think that crypto and NFT’s are already
being used for payments across companies and individuals. For example, Elon
Musk of Tesla said he would be willing to sell his cars in exchange for bitcoins
