The other day, one of the most critical events in the digital world took place in Malta—the annual ftNFT YoCerebrum Awards. In the previous two years, the event was held in Dubai; this time, Fort Manoel on Manoel Island in Malta was chosen as the venue for the award ceremony.
Silvio Schembri, the Minister of Economy of the Republic of Malta, attended the award ceremony. Representatives of the WEB3 digital world, influencers, and public figures were invited. Jason Derulo and dance groups and musicians from Malta performed during the evening.
We should add that Vigen Badalyan, co-founder of Fastex, was awarded the "Leader of the Year" at the SiGMA B2B awards ceremony held in Malta. In a conversation with Forbes, Vigen Badalyan referred to the digitization of art. "Innovation will play a major role in shaping the future of the financial sector and art. "Web3 constantly offers investors, creators, and those just interested in the field-wide opportunities to develop the field using digital assets," he said. By the way, Fastex has recently received preliminary approval from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) for a Virtual Financial Assets (VFA) Class 4 license. This is a new achievement in operating in the European market and receiving new legislative regulations.
This year's ftNFT YoCerebrum Awards honorees were the 2024 FTN and the Bahamut fish figurine, symbolizing innovation and creativity. There were 15 nominations for the award ceremony.
