The new head of YouTube, Neal Mohan, former director of product for the video platform, is a supporter of technologies related to digital assets.

He wrote on his blog in February 2022 that the company is exploring ways to integrate Web3, NFTs and the metaverse.

He said:

“We believe that new technologies such as blockchain and NFTs can enable content creators to build deeper relationships with their fans.”
