PlayDapp, a Korean blockchain gaming company, has launched a native NFT marketplace for Korea’s multi-billion-dollar game sector.
On June 8, it has been reported that the new platform, ‘PlayDapp MarketPLAce,’ advertises itself as providing free support for coin-to-coin trading between NFT-based in-game items.
However, Koh Kwang-Wook, the founding member and former CTO of Item Bay, an early online brokerage platform for in-game items, led the development of PlayDapp’s marketplace.
At the launch, the platform supports items from CryptoDozer and DozerBird, the two Ethereum-powered collecting games.

It has been analyzed that CryptoDozer has generated $610 worth of trade over 2,132 weekly transactions, while DozerBird represented less than $12 in volume over 277 transactions.
Likewise, Korea’s game industry is the fourth-largest industry globally, representing 14.3 million KRW ($12.1 billion) in 2018.
Thus, Korea’s gaming sector has grown at an average annual rate of more than seven percent over the past decade.
