YouTube CEO says NFTs and crypto present a 'previously unimaginable opportunity' A week after Twitter added support for NFT avatars, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has said that cryptocurrency and NFTs present a "previously unimaginable opportunity to grow the connection between creators and their fans" on YouTube. Wojcicki didn't announce any specific plans to add blockchain functionality to YouTube, but calling NFTs an "opportunity" sure makes it sound like the site is working on something. YouTube head of gaming Ryan Wyatt announced today that he's leaving YouTube for a blockchain company, as did senior director of creator partnerships Jamie Byrne (for a different blockchain company), so clearly others at YouTube are interested in cryptocurrency and NFTs. (Except in the extremely unlikely case that the departing Wyatt and Byrne were the only ones aside from Wojcicki who've been sipping on crypto hype.) "We're always focused on expanding the YouTube ecosystem to help creators capitalize on emerging technologies, including things like NFTs, while continuing to strengthen and enhance the experiences creators and fans have on YouTube," Wojcicki wrote in an open letter about YouTube's 2022 plans. The site will likely elaborate on its blockchain intentions within the year, then.
