NFTs in Times Square in NYC

In reality, this is not the first Non-Fungible Token exhibition in New York City’s famous square. 

For example, during the NFT.NYC conference, the square’s billboards were already colored with crypto art. Moreover, a few months ago Times Square entered The Sandbox, which decided with Time magazine to bring it back into its metaverse.

Obviously, one of the reasons why this iconic square is chosen is because it is said to be the most touristy in the world: in fact, Times Square has the presence of about 1,500 businesses and an average of 180,000 employees passing through its streets every day.

Considered one of New York’s most visited tourist attractions, Times Square sees an average of 174 million people pass through each year.
