According to the press release, the addition of the digital asset to Bitfinex’s portfolio will allow the platform to go aligned with the ‘explosion of interest’ in digital gaming and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

“We’re delighted to add Gala Games to the tokens available to trade on our platform. We anticipate great interest in Gala among the exchange ’s growing customer base,” Paolo Ardoino, the CTO at Bitfinex, commented on the listing.

Moreover, Eric Schiermeyer, the CEO of Gala Games, issued the following statement via Gala’s website: “I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t think this was literally the next phase of the internet. Everything that touches ownership is going to be affected by what’s happening here. Art and music and everything that has a digital life is going to be touched by this. Anything that you thought was digital that you thought you owned but didn’t really own — that’s what’s about to be revolutionized.”
