Through this collaboration, SegMint users will now have access to high-fidelity RWA analytics and research on the SegMint platform, allowing collectors to obtain timely information about the state of the collectibles market.
Digital collectibles are increasingly proliferating across the industry landscape. According to analytics firm CoinGecko, the global NFT market size has reached approximately $73 billion as of July 20241. While metrics are readily available for these "digitally native" assets, there is a pressing need to address data and analytics for tokenized physical collectibles.
The collectibles market itself has seen rapid growth. A November 2021 study by HSBC estimated the global collectibles market at $372 billion across six major categories, with projections to reach $522 billion by 20282. This growth, coupled with the increase in tokenization tooling and the rapid proliferation of tokenized products, has created a significant demand for transparency and accessibility in the tokenized collectibles space.
Recognizing this need, RWA World is introducing RWA World Analytics to the SegMint platform. This cutting-edge tool will provide SegMint users with a comprehensive dashboard and data feed sourced from multiple on-chain and off-chain sources. The partnership aims to build a definitive standard for tokenized watches before expanding to other tokenized products.
“This partnership will empower serious collectors by providing them with comprehensive and accurate data, enabling them to make the most informed purchasing decisions,” said Matt Bartlett, CEO of SegMint GmbH/Head of Web3 at VanEck. “At SegMint, our mission is to innovate the way collectors engage with and manage their collectibles, and this collaboration is a significant step towards achieving that goal.”
“We’re excited to work with Matt and the rest of the SegMint team to deliver high-fidelity analytics for the collectibles market,” said Tyler Sherwin, co-founder of RWA World. “The focus for us has been to identify immediate market opportunities where there’s buyside demand for tokenization. Good data is the best starting point.”
The RWA World Analytics on the SegMint platform will address crucial questions in the tokenized collectible market, including:
- Volume data for specific tokenized collectible assets
- The number of assets tokenized across various platforms and marketplaces
- Historic on-chain price information between and across these platforms
This partnership between SegMint and RWA World marks a significant step towards providing collectors with the tools they need to make informed decisions in the rapidly evolving world of tokenized collectibles.
