Samsung Electronics announced three TV models for 2022 that will enable NFT trading on the set, the company said on its website on Monday.

The application features an “intuitive, integrated platform for discovering, purchasing and trading digital artwork through MICRO LED, Neo QLED and The Frame,” the three new TV models.
NFTs (non-fungible tokens), feature prominently in the metaverse, a superset of virtual reality, augmented reality and the internet, writes CoinDesk reporter Eli Tan in his deep dive into the phenomenon.
“NFTs will also play a foundational role in the metaverse, giving people complete ownership of their characters, accrued in-game items and even virtual land. An NFT of a 259-parcel virtual estate in Decentraland recently sold for more than $900,000, the largest sale to date,” Tan wrote in August.
