“Since its invention in 2017, NFT technology seems to solve the decade-old issue of secure accounting and digital ownership of different digital assets – images, videos, audios, etc. and it opened the doors to creating truly legitimate and functional digital collectibles markets,” said Andrii Shapovalov, co-founder and CEO of Stampsdaq. “The postal industry, with its 182 years of philatelic heritage, has a great potential to become one of the biggest digital NFT collectibles markets worldwide.”

“Since late 2020, Stampsdaq has been introducing this opportunity to majority of postal operators directly and via its associate membership at. Post Group (Dot Post Group) and WADP (World Association for the Development of Philately) of the Universal Postal Union. And we are extremely happy and proud to have Bhutan Post as our first Asian partner and the first Asian operator to issue NFT Stamps!”

Philatelic heritage comprises over 900,000 stamps issued throughout the postal history, with an estimated market potential of around 25billion USD in annual secondary sales by 2035 in game-and-utility format promoted by Stampsdaq. With over 60 million existing stamp collectors and over 28 million active NFT wallets, just end of 2021, this sales number may even seem conservative! 

“For many years, Bhutan Post has recognized philately for its core values and principles of communicating our county’s cultural, social and general human values to the world,” said Karma Nidup, the CEO of Bhutan Post.

“At the same time, our stamps have a proven historic record of innovations, starting from the “World First 3D stamps to the famous Talking Stamps Issue”. Now, in the era of disruptive technological innovations, Bhutan Post is also recognizing the potential and benefits of the blockchain technology in general and NFT technology for philately in particular. After considering the choices, we have made a decision to partner with Stampsdaq as their business model is echoing our long-term view for the NFT Stamps development. We both believe that creating extra utility benefits and live experiences for NFT Stamp collectors is the way to develop value and collectability for Bhutan Post’s NFT Stamps.”

Stampsdaq is developing as a dedicated partnership platform to facilitate the needs and create opportunities for and between postal operators and the global community of digital collectors with mainstream adoption of NFT Stamps in mind. Introducing new ways of interacting with postage stamp heritage, Stampsdaq also contributes to the development and rejuvenation of traditional stamp collecting as the underlying philatelic values are now being expanded and enriched with new possibilities offered by the digital world.
