Roblox CEO 'dreams' of in-game cross-platform NFTs and digital objects

The frontman of the popular virtual universe game Roblox,David Baszucki, said he “dreams” of having the ability to movenonfungible tokens (NFTs)and digital objects across multiple platforms.

Following the company’s Q3 2023 earnings call, Roblox founder and CEO Baszuckispokeabout the role major influencers play in fueling the widespread adoption of NFTs and digital collectibles in a recent CNBC interview. He believes in the idea of users being able to move their collections across non-native platforms:

“There’s a bit of a dream here about objects and NFTs moving from platform to platform.”

For example, Baszucki stated that A-list celebrities such as Elton John could sign up on Roblox and make and sell limited edition collectibles like capes for charity. These types of collectibles could go off the Roblox platform as an NFT and could be sold in other marketplaces.

“What we do expect is that creators, whether it’s Elton John or Nike or someone else making a digital item, that they would play a key role and have a fair amount of control in that process,” Baszucki concluded.

Roblox’s latest earnings call revealed a loss in Q3; however, the company recorded a 20% year-over-year growth in booking estimates on higher in-game spending and the total number of users.

Baszucki’s growing interest in NFTs resonates with overall market sentiment, with blockchain analytics company Nansen reporting a spike in November NFT sales volumes.

NFT volume for the past 5 weeks has been steadily increasing

The bottom was the week closing 9th Oct, where NFT weekly volume was 29,704 ETH, compared to last week, week ending Nov 6th, NFT sales volume reached 68,342 ETH

Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys
In this image, a giant sphinx spoons itself in erotic play within an aquatic styled environment littered by various denizens. These creatures include symbols and archetypes both current and nostalgic–each inhabiting a rootedness within mass cultural adolescence. Among the roster are Servbots, video game inspired mushrooms, a Pacman-like creature, a distant sea faring rubber duck, creatures sporting the symbols reminiscent of popular anime, and a Pokemon-like rabbit (a novel incarnation of Ganesha indicated by the Shiva trident on its nose). In addition, a few sea creatures partly inspired by sea monsters of western antiquity conglomerate along the mid left side of the composition. The Sphinx itself is an amalgam of aquatic, fetishist, ancient Egyptian, and 80’s style adornments, both living, as in a clown fish, or material, such as a cassette tape. Nautically colored antennae receive somatic signals from the atmosphere, perhaps from the 8 Ball moon or giant ringed planet beyond.
