First-of-its-kind NFT startup Lysto on Thursday declared that it raised $3 million in seed funding round from BEENEXT, Better Capital, Cloud Capital and other investors to democratise the global adoption of NFTs.
Established in 2021, the blockchain-based startup intends to take NFTs to over 4 billion internet users through millions of use cases they are familiar with via thousands of daily tech platforms they currently use.
“NFTs are becoming an integral part of business and culture. With its applications across industries, it is a multi-billion dollar industry, which is largely restricted to digital art and collectibles currently. As the market expands, we see that every e-commerce player, every production (entertainment, gaming, animation), and every brand would want to launch NFTs to raise funds and monetise their offerings,” said Sadiq Ahamed, Founder and CEO of Lysto.
