NEW YORK and BOSTON, April 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worlds Inc. (OTCQB: WDDD), a pioneer that developed the first 3D metaverses and technologies crucial to interactive online multi-player gaming technologies, today announces a partnership with CrossTower Inc., one of the world's top rated cryptocurrency exchanges. Worlds will utilize CrossTower's global non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace and services to sell NFTs of digital art, avatars, and other artifacts related to the first online interactive virtual worlds (now known as metaverses) created for some of the most famous music and entertainment artists and brands, such as Aerosmith, David Bowie, New York Yankees, DMC, WWE, and Coca-Cola.

NFTs represent ownership of digital assets, including digital art, music, and gaming collectibles through blockchain technology. Consumers are able to collect and trade NFTs with various cryptocurrencies. In 2021, global trading volume of NFTs reached USD 44.2 billion, according to blockchain data company Chainalysis.

Worlds has a legacy of partnering with fellow visionaries who are at the forefront of innovation in their respective industries, as illustrated by the ecommerce transactions in the first metaverses it created 20+ years ago.

Thom Kidrin, Worlds CEO, stated, "We see huge potential for the new generation of metaverses, NFTs and crypto to permeate many areas of everyday life in innovative ways. We are partnering with CrossTower to help us execute on our strategic initiatives. CrossTower has already established itself as one of the top crypto exchanges, and they are a rising star in the NFT market with their impressive knowledge of NFT strategy and how various factors can impact NFT projects. We believe that CrossTower is uniquely suited to help Worlds unlock the full potential of our digital assets to bring value and unique experiences to our community and collectors."

Kapil Rathi, CrossTower CEO and co-founder, said, "We are at the forefront of innovation and thrilled to be partnering with Worlds to maximize the positive impact we have on the NFT industry. Worlds is a pioneer, visionary, and long-lasting force within the metaverse. The Worlds NFT Collection offers ageless collectability, and together we will strengthen market value as we offer collectors opportunity through perpetuity."

• Exclusive collections for collectors: Buyers and collectors can access authentic and exclusive collections on the marketplace.
