# MARKET OVERVIEW

Blockchain gaming introduces a gaming structure known as play to earn (P2E). P2E games enable users to transfer in-game items, tokenize, trade and convert them to assets with tangible value. In-game currencies are cryptocurrencies and can be exchanged for other cryptos or fiat such as USD. Likewise, other in-game items, such as characters and inventory, are also tradeable in the form of NFTs.
