UK risks regulating NFTs the wrong way, says Mintable CEO
The United Kingdom’s government is in danger of regulating nonfungible tokens (NFTs) in a way that doesn’t suit the true nature of the nascent technology, says Mintable CEO and founder Zach Burks. In an interview with Cointelegraph, Burks said he believes a recent report from a U.K. parliamentary committee significantly exaggerates the role NFTs play in copyright infringement and fails to recognize that they are more than just volatile digital pictures.

🖼 Nike-RTFKT's crypto universe nears $1.4 billion in NFT trading as sneakerheads swoon
The primary example of that may be Nike and RTFKT's non-fungible token universe which has, in less than two years, while facing a bear market much of the time, generated more than one billion dollars in trading volume and more than one hundred million dollars in earnings. Since December 2021, Nike-RTFKT NFTs have spurred close to $1.4 billion in trading volume, according to The Block Research data. While the majority of those numbers are thanks to the success of the CloneX collection, which launched during the height of crypto's bull run, the volume and earnings of the other collections is still noteworthy. In some cases owning the NFTs has unlocked the opportunity for consumers to order limited-edition Nike's that come with a special authenticating tag embedded in the shoes. Thousands of sneakerheads, and even NBA great LeBron James, have jumped on the opportunity. "The quality is really, really, really good. I'd say better than any of the other Nike shoes that I have," said photographer Frankie Sutera, a long-time sneaker collector and NFT enthusiast living in Utah.

🔫 Metaverse Faces Uphill Battle Due to Limited Use Cases, Says GlobalData
The much-hyped metaverse, a virtual world where users share experiences and interact in real-time within simulated scenarios, is encountering significant obstacles on its path to widespread adoption, according to a report from GlobalData, a prominent data and analytics company. GlobalData’s latest report, titled “Metaverse – Thematic Intelligence,” points to several challenges that the metaverse is grappling with, including limited knowledge of the theme, unimpressed consumers. “The metaverse theme has lost its luster due to limited use cases and the limitations of underlying technologies like blockchain, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and digital twins. Without improvements in these technologies, the metaverse will continue to disappoint,” Rupantar Guha, Principal Analyst at GlobalData’s Thematic Intelligence team, said. Technology companies need to develop user-friendly interfaces that seamlessly merge real and virtual environments while ensuring user safety and comfort during extended usage. He also stressed the importance of offering a diverse range of content to keep users engaged. Companies that confine themselves to a single content type risk limiting their revenue opportunities in the long run.

🔫 ‘Industrial metaverse can solve real-world problems in factories’
The idea of an industrial metaverse has attracted much interest in recent months. It describes a highly immersive and connected virtual and physical reality enabling never-before-seen levels of connectivity and data analytics. “Indian companies have a unique opportunity to accelerate their digital transformation with Siemens Xcelerator portfolio which includes latest technologies such as industrial AI, industrial edge, digital twin and 5G,” says Peter Koerte, chief technology officer & strategy officer, Siemens AG. On a recent visit, Koerte and Sunil Mathur, MD & CEO, Siemens India, spoke to Sudhir Chowdhary on some of the megatrends and digital use cases on Siemens Xcelerator. How do you envision the integration of the industrial metaverse with traditional manufacturing processes? Peter Koerte: The industrial metaverse helps industry become much faster, more flexible, and also more sustainable. We recently built a brand-new factory, but that new factory was first built as a digital twin where we had optimised every machine, every workflow, and every material flow. As a result, our workers already knew how to operate the machines. By the time we started this new factory, it was already 20% more productive. Since we have the digital layout and we can seamlessly combine the real and the digital world, this synergy allows us to achieve 40% increase in flexibility
