Insight from Sky Mavis Co-Founder
Jeff Zirlin, co-founder of Sky Mavis, the team behind the Ronin network, acknowledged the growth of Bitcoin NFTs. However, he noted that his team’s focus remains on blockchain gaming ecosystems.
Zirlin stated that while Bitcoin NFTs are gaining traction, they are still “primitive” and not directly related to gaming. He sees Web3 as a promising alternative, offering longer-lasting games through incentive alignment with core audiences and ownership-based revenue models.
The recent success of Bitcoin NFTs is set against a backdrop of fluctuating market dynamics. CryptoSlam data revealed that Bitcoin-based NFTs hit $4 billion in all-time sales volume, combining $3.97 billion in legitimate sales and over $80 million in wash sales.
