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

Crypto Toy Coin
This piece represents the creation of a new "Visual Toy", a term created by me to encompass my unique and exclusive GIF-Arts. The latter, "Crypto Toy Coin" is the only and first in the cryptocurrency theme. In it I represent the fast-paced world of finance in the virtual environment, the Internet with its universe of colors and infinite visual impact, an optimistic and exciting future, a world of possibilities that opens before us. These "Visual Toys" invite you to imagine, that is their function, that is the game. The ultimate goal is that you imagine, that it is you who gives it meaning. There are no good or bad answers, just the projection of each one. I've only created the trigger, the piece where you can project your imagination and let it fly.
Ethboy
Young Vitalik takes on the role of Picasso’s son Paulo dressed as Harlequin in this artwork but the octahedron Ethereum logo replaces the chequered pattern of the original jester outfit. Leaning against a large chair, the boy genius fiddles with his fingers in a somewhat nervous manner; nevertheless, he stares directly at the viewer with what appears to be a confident, ‘Mona Lisa-like’ smile. Vitalik has no idea what the future has in store for him, but he’s prepared to face any obstacle ahead as he begins life's adventure.
