India Leads the World in NFT Gaming, Fewer P2E Players in Western Countries – Metaverse Bitcoin News


India is the global leader in non-fungible token (NFT) gaming, while the number of play-to-earn (P2E) players in developed countries like the U.S. and France is significantly lower than in much of the rest of the world, the latest data from Finder has shown.
