12:15 Panel: A Bubble or a Bet? The Business of NFTs.

With Dubai joining the likes of Miami (USA) and Zug (Switzerland) as one of the main crypto centers of the world, the Emirate’s NFT sector has witnessed the rise of many UAE-based entrepreneurs attempting to cash in on a global industry that was estimated to be worth US$41 billion in 2021–but it’s also one that’s been seeing hits to its pomp and popularity lately. This panel will welcome a few of the movers and shakers in this field to share their insights and experiences on joining this rapidly evolving domain, the benefits they have seen as well as the loopholes, and how they expect this space to develop or expand in the months and years to come.
