GSVS Talks - Buying In: NFTs and the Future of Fandom

Once remanded to the cryptoculture fringe, NFTs are finally having their moment. From sports collectibles and memorabilia to stables of digital stallions and closets of virtual sneakers, blockchain-connected virtual goods are allowing fans to showcase their passions (and profit from them) in entirely new ways.

NFTs are rapidly upending traditional ideas of sports fandom with new ways to collect, invest in, and interact with intellectual property and what we’re seeing today is just scratching the surface of what is to come.

Join us for a conversation on how this craze started and what it means for the future of fandom. Moderated by Kyle Bunch, VP, R/GA Ventures and Managing Director of the GSVS and includes featured panelists:

• Rahul Sood, CEO of Unikrn, Board Member and Investor in ZED.run
• Caty Tedman, Head of Partnerships at Dapper Labs (the company behind NBA Top Shot)
• Rusty Matveev, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer of Calaxy
• Matt Woodward, Founder of NFT collectible HypeSneakrs
