KPMG is one of the 'big four' accounting firms with operations that span across the globe. In an announcement today, the Canadian division at KPMG has purchased a 'World of Women' NFT as "part of it's corporate strategy." The floor price on WoW is currently around $25K. A Managing Partner of Advisory Services at KPMG Canada, Benjie Thomas, stated:

"This acquisition reflects our belief not only in the continued growth of NFTs, but in the value of WoW and its mission. Having now gone through the process, we are well-positioned to guide our clients around building a corporate NFT strategy, including, acquiring and safeguarding NFTs."

Projects like WoW that stand for gender equity in a predominantly male environment are primed to be major players for institutions that desire purpose-driven NFT investments.
