They do that by giving their users a compliant and reliable way to convert digital assets into fiat and vice-versa.
Now, they are looking to extend the asset space beyond cryptocurrencies. The recent launch of Smart Valor prime was their first step towards it.
Smart Valor Prime is an NFT marketplace for tokenized assets. Tokenized means recorded on the blockchain as a token. These tokens can be transferred peer-to-peer instantly, globally, and at a fraction of the cost of the current financial system.
The use case of tokenized assets is immense, i.e., the Metaverse. The Metaverse is considered the future of the internet or a hypothetical iteration of the internet. Metaverse, to explain simply, is a universal virtual 3-D world that is aided by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets.
Metaverse allows individuals to explore beyond the boundaries of their nation and the limitations of today’s financial system and take part in the world’s economy.
