Romania Plugs Into Web3 With National NFT Marketplace

Romania’s National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics (ICI Bucharest) is launching an in-house non-fungible token (NFT) trading platform, ICI D|Services, on April 26, in a bid to drive Web3 adoption in the country. The platform primarily serves as an NFT marketplace, allowing public and institutional users to mint, manage and trade NFTs, and aims to create a link between private and public sector institutions and users. The project has been backed by the Romanian Government through the Secretariat-General as well as the Romanian Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization. The launch of the platform will feature five unique NFT collections developed in collaboration with prominent Romanian sportspeople, organizations, and institutions. The move is seen as enhancing the country's economic potential by generating new revenue streams and fostering economic growth and a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship.
