Through this sale, Sorare and the Bundesliga entered into a strong partnership to sell digital assets, something that has been happening since October 2021. Despite Haaland being present in this NFT environment, we cannot forget about other Bundesliga players, such as: Dominik Szoboszlai, Taiwo Awoniyi, Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz and Lukas Nmecha.
Therefore, Sorare Fantasy Game counts several real-life points to implement in NFTs. In the case of Haaland, the company observed the player's performance in recent times and included it in the player's NFT. Therefore, there are players who can earn from 0 to 100 points, but it depends a lot on how they perform on the field. For example, there are score rankings through goals, assists, red cards and other factors that influence your rankings.
Also, NFT values can fluctuate depending on the rarity of the card or player. In view of this, Robert Klein, the CEO of Bundesliga International, revealed that NFTs are the digital technology of the future and should not be underestimated, even more so in the sports field. In his speech, the CEO highlighted: "NFTs are a digital technology of the future that should not be underestimated – especially in the sports sector. I am therefore convinced that this collaboration will give rise to further impulses."
NFT market expected to increase in 2022
The non-fungible token industry in 2021 had a huge boom and it shouldn't stop there. The collaboration of the NFTs with the market made a gigantic movement in the sector in 2021, and due to this, several experts point out that the year 2022 should have an even more significant increase, resulting in a movement of 2 billion dollars until December of that year.
In addition, experts also pointed out that by the end of this year about four or five million people from sports should buy or receive items related to NFTs. Therefore, there will be a large commercialization of these non-fungible tokens in the market, where collectibles are expected to appear with great frequency.
It is important to mention here that eSports companies are already moving towards NFTs. For example, Ubisoft recently introduced Ubisoft Quartz. Given this, the game developer's announcement highlighted that the company will include NFTs within the game Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, and will bring exclusive items, named "Digits".
To talk about this, Ubisoft spoke about the “Tezos blockchain”, which will use a different strategy than Bitcoin or Ethereum: “One transaction on their network uses the same amount of energy as streaming 30 seconds of video, while the previous generation of blockchain networks can consume the same energy required for one year of non-stop streaming.
This low carbon footprint means that both our developers and our players can prioritize innovation without compromising sustainability.”
