- Netgear announced that its users will now have the ability to connect their Metamask wallet to their Meural digital art frame.

Digital assets have grown in popularity and in exposure around the world, thanks to various social committees, athletes, artists and entrepreneurs who have seen their potential and have decided to invest in them.
Similarly, as a collateral effect, the products or services related to them have also expanded their popularity rank among millions of people, one of these being non-fungible tokens, a type of digital certificate of authenticity that, through blockchain technology, can be associated with a single digital file.
Crypto art in expansion
This non-expendable good, given that it is not possible to duplicate it or replace it with something else, has unleashed a fever since last year, especially in the area of crypto art.
To be exact, it was on March 11, when the NFT came fully into the public eye, after the work ‘Everydays – The First 5,000 Days’ created by the artist Beeple, was sold for $ 69.3 million dollars by the Christie’s auction house in New York.
The growth and interest in digitized works of art has led to four collections of non-fungible tokens will achieve market valuations of billions of dollars, including projects like Cryptopunks, Axie Infinity, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Artblocks.
Since Beeple sold his work so far, the popularity of NFTs has only gone in one direction, upward. Such fame has caused other large firms to turn their gaze to these tokens.
