Cryptocurrencies weren't dominant in the Olympics sector over the last few decades. The significant headlines were related to the Dogecoin (DOGE) community. This helped in funding the Jamaican bobsled team in 2014 & they were able to participate in Sochi.
China's CBDC is emerging in the news headlines. Yet, NFTs are presently captivating fans and art lovers. Many NFT projects have been able to grab fans' attention to the Olympics. A remarkable enterprise arose from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
This initiative collaborated with NFT marketplace and game studio nWayPlay thereby launching the Olympic Heritage Collection of Olympic NFT pins. The launched Olympic NFT pins are algorithmic versions of physical collectible and tradable pins. They acknowledge the past Olympic Games via posters, emblems, pictograms, etc., from the last 125 years.
The 2022 Winter Olympics were supposed to be a sort of coming-out party for the Digital Yuan, China's CBDC. The digital currency now can be pre-owned via the government's mobile app, e-CNY, or via mobile payments platforms such as Tencent Holdings' WeChat. Transactions backed upon by the Digital Yuan have generated a profit of over $13 billion since its launch. Until the last year, 2021; an average of 10 million merchants activated digital wallets.
