Stocks of WISeKey International Holding Ltd (US:WKEY or NASDAQ: WKEY), an Artificial Intelligence-backed internet of things (IoT) firm, soared over 64.36 per cent on Thursday, after it announced that it is set to launch its Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) application.

This app has been created on ‘WISeAuthentic Platform’, a blockchain-powered infrastructure, and backed by patented Digital Identification technology that authenticates, secures, and confirms ownership of non-tangible and tangible assets.

The NFT market has been evolving as NFT trading rises in all sectors, driven by the requirement to curb fraud in digital artwork and acceptance by businesses. Industries can benefit from NFT by acquiring a non-replicated digital certificate of ownership.

On March 16, the company also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Seychelles, for a pilot project on digital identity platforms, including eTourism and eHealth.
