NFTs in the media: from films to the TV - NFTs are being used in the film and media industry from Hollywood to Bollywood and even television manufacturers are making TVs with the ability to display NFTs. Whilst there are obvious ways to use NFTs to make money to finance film production, NFTs are also offering a way for the media industry at large to enter the metaverse.
