Furthermore, AWS has been actively expanding its Web3 initiatives by collaborating with various blockchain-based companies and exploring the integration of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into its ecosystem. Reports suggest that Amazon is developing a digital assets enterprise, with plans to launch an NFT initiative focused on blockchain-based gaming and related applications.
