We look forward to seeing exciting new solutions as global interest in NFTs continues”, stated The Hon Albert Isola MP, Minister for Digital and Financial Services, HM Government of Gibraltar.
“The explosion of NFTs is a valuable trend for marketplaces and creators, and we’re excited that USDC is helping power tokenization on the blockchain.
