PARIS, Oct. 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On
17 October 2022, Bruno Le Maire – Minister of Economy, Finance
and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty – was interviewed by BFM
Crypto on the topic of crypto-assets.
Artmarket.com carefully notes the declaration by the top
of the State of the economic potential of the crypto-asset
ecosystem, and above all of wanting to make France "the European hub of the crypto-asset
ecosystem". Bruno Le Maire declares:
"And we want France to be the
European hub of the crypto-asset ecosystem."
He also said: "Today, France has some of the most innovative DASPs
in the world and can draw on an exceptional concentration of crypto
skills, whether scientific, IT, financial, legal or
commercial."
Artmarket.com is fully prepared to contribute to making
France a Leader in crypto-assets
in Europe and also in the world,
in the specific field of Art NFTs, adopted by all historical
players in the Art Market.
As World Leader in Art Market Information and a pioneer on
the Internet since 1987 with Group Serveur, Artprice by Artmarket
(twice designated an "innovative company" by BPI France) has all
the advantages, technological know-how, and expertise to give
France a place as an international
leader in the field of crypto art.
Artmarket.com already has a permanent information feed on
daily NFT news in 119 countries, as the world's leading press
agency dedicated to the Art Market, NFTs, and Metaverse:

Artprice by Artmarket.com confirms that during the first
half of 2022, the Art NFT phenomenon (Jeton Non
Fongible in French) became a durable segment of the
art market on all continents with acceleration in sales and volumes
in the second half of 2022. This acceleration has been triggered
primarily by a) the purge of cryptocurrencies and b) the
introduction of much more favorable legislation in the USA. Meanwhile, Europe has introduced a regulatory framework
that supervises and controls the cryptocurrency environment,
thereby giving greater confidence to consumers, investors, and
operators.
This regulation is the subject of studies, colloquia, and
proposals to major French and European government bodies by the Art
& Law Institute, where Artprice by Artmarket has been heavily
involved as a long-standing member since 1997.
thierry Ehrmann, founder of Artprice and CEO of
Artmarket.com remarks: "in our various annual art market
reports and our communications with investors, we have always
included NFTs in our studies. And we have always said that one
cannot understand this market with exponential growth without
understanding the vital importance of Blockchains,
cryptocurrencies, and their cultural origin within the Cypherpunk
milieu (period of PGP-type data encryption in the early
1990s)."
Indeed, OpenSea USA, the
leading NFT platform, itself declares that 80% of the primary
issues of Art NFTs are likely to impact the intellectual property
rights of third parties. Faced with this observation, Opensea has
announced that it is considering solutions to counter this scourge
and protect sellers and buyers. There is only one viable solution
to this problem: the certification of the primary Art-NFT market by
Artprice through its blockchain and its smart contracts.
It is precisely in the primary issue of Art NFTs that
Artprice by Artmarket.com is the only one on the world market,
taking into account all the underlying parameters and data, to be
able to truly meet the certification of primary issues of Art
NFTs.
This ability to certify primary issues of Art NFTs is
based on the fact that Artprice by Artmarket.com is the World
Leader in Art Market Information and author for 25 years of its
authoritative databases. These in turn contain the largest
documentary collection in the world of notes, manuscripts, and
catalogs of auction sales since 1700, guaranteeing in return the
authenticity and the historical proof of its databases.
Artprice by Artmarket.com aims to be the most successful
and highly competitive Art NFTs platform through its Metaverse,
which is the ultimate and inevitable outcome of the NFT
revolution.
This Metaverse is the assurance of exponential and
continuous growth of the Art Market by NFTs. It will be accompanied
by its Blockchain and its smart contracts to allow fair
remuneration for artists, with copyright societies such as ADAGP,
of which Artprice has long been one of the main contributors, under
the legal provisions of reproduction, for the support of
artists.
The Minister of the Economy adds "In the immediate future,
I am delighted with the transition from Ethereum to proof of stake,
which consumes much less energy. "
This is in line with Artprice by Artmarket.com's
Blockchain, which will mainly use Ethereum for its smart contracts,
as announced in its recent press release, following the transition
from "Proof of Work" (PoW) to "Proof of Stake" of Ethereum 2.0 on
September 15, 2022:
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/artmarketcom-with-a-99-95-reduction-in-energy-consumption-the-merge-is-a-historic-and-ecological-success-for-ethereum-the-reference-cryptocurrency-for-artprice-and-for-the-art-nft-market-301625211.html
Indeed, Artmarket.com has been following very closely for
the last 3 years the transition to "The Merge" for the decarbonized
Blockchain Ethereum 2.0, in the context of the global energy
crisis, which is only just beginning. According to its Founder
Vitalik Buterin, thanks to "The
Merge", after 7 years of development and successful beta tests),
the electricity consumption of the Blockchain ETH collapses by more
than 99.95%, going from "Proof of Work" (PoW) to the "Proof of
Stake" (PoS).
The fact that Artprice anticipated three years earlier the
Blockchain Ethereum and its smart contract as the reference in the
Art Market for NFTs, is further reinforced by the official dispatch
from Christie's on September 27,
2022, with the launch announced of Christie's 3.0 which is
based on the Blockchain Ethereum.
According to an Artprice study:
"All Market Makers in the Art Market and in particular the
majority of Auction Houses worldwide now have an NFT department for
cataloged and online sales throughout the year. Similarly, all the
major structures in the museum industry and art galleries are
starting to publish their own NFTs.
Digital Art created in the 1980s is finally making its
real revolution by impacting nearly half a billion Art NFT
enthusiasts, at purchasing costs that are now very
accessible.
There are already more than 54,000 artists identified by
Artprice who directly produce their NFTs for their buying public
and this is only the very beginning of this paradigm
shift.
It is a major event that definitively modifies the
structure of the Art Market and its actors, as known since 1950
according to sociologists, art historians, and analysts. This is
also confirmed by the various departments of Artprice, particularly
concerning the figures."

Artmarket.com will contribute to giving France and Europe a chance to counterbalance the
Anglo-Saxon hegemony in the field of crypto-assets. It will expose
to the Minister of Economy, Finance, and Industrial and Digital
sovereignty, the unique capabilities of Artprice by Artmarket.com,
the World leader in Art Market information for 25 years, in
certification of primary issuance in the field of Art NFTs and
crypto Art more generally.
