BTS’ RM makes a presentation to convince HYBE to change their policies regarding NFT

In October 2022, HYBE and blockchain technology firm Dunamu partnered to launch Momentica, a non-fungible token (NFT) platform where fans could purchase digital collectibles featuring some of HYBE’s popular artists.

Recently, several media outlets reported the low performance of Momentica. According to reports, BTS' absence from the platform may also be considered a big variable for the company's poor performance as they’re regarded as the most influential artists under HYBE.

According to AllKpop, BTS’ leader RM had made a PowerPoint presentation to convince HYBE officials to change the company's policies on NFTs. Since the project was announced, most BTS fans (ARMY) opposed the idea of engaging with any NFT-related content because of high rates of carbon emission when issuing NFTs.

Following such reports, Levels (a joint venture between Dunamu and HYBE) separately emphasized on the fact that they use low-carbon emission blockchains.
