In a bid to make crypto more mainstream, Binance continues to put out unique products and services. Its latest endeavour, a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) marketplace, was announced at the end of April. The market is expected to be launched in June 2021.
In recent months, interest in NFTs has spiked remarkably. The tokens come in the form of digital art, eSport and gaming cards, music and others. Some NFTs have gone on to sell for millions of dollars. The most notable being digital artist Beeple’s “The First 5000 Days” which sold for $69M. Others include “Hashmasks” a collaborative effort by over 70 artists that fetched $16M, Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey‘s first tweet that auctioned for $2.9M and Nyan Cat meme by artist Chris that raked in $509,000.
