Sharing views on the progress, Magnus Capital quotes “FanAnywhere addresses a rapidly evolving market where fans have longed to share in the success of their favourite celebrities. The project connects the fans to a celebrity’s fame, and is offering a collaborative opportunity to engage in a more meaningful way. We are buoyant about this space and excited to work with the brilliant team of FanAnywhere.”
“At present, a few blockchain-based platforms are being used in the industry. Some of them offer fan tokens, trade exchanging, and third-party integrations, with existing applications. However, there is currently no platform that offers all of it conveniently in one place. That’s where FanAnywhere comes in. FanAnywhere has been developed to support tokens, an NFT marketplace, trade exchanging, and third-party integrations. It has its native token called FAW and allows influential individuals and brands to create their own tokens for fan engagement. It goes one step further by enabling fans to utilize these tokens and NFTs in creative engagement activities developed by third-party integrations. We saw a great opportunity to be a part of FanAnywhere’s growth story and excited about the future”, opined Artashes Sarkisjan, Co-owner at Dutch Crypto Investors.
