In addition the report stresses, due to the role NFTs have had in illegal activities, such as money laundering, scams and fraud, vendors who partake in the NFT space may risk brand damage by association. Environmental issues were also raised as a major concern, with the current way transactions are facilitated on the blockchain creating massive energy usage.
To enable vendors to utilise NFTs as a medium to further engage with consumers, it emphasised the need for regulators to work with industry bodies to standardise processes with reduced environmental impact and built-in consumer protections.
