Amazon Plans To Launch Its Own NFT Marketplace
Amazon, one of the biggest e-commerce companies in the world, is planning on launching its own non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace on April 24th 2021. This new ‘Amazon NFT Marketplace’, or ‘Amazon Digital Marketplace’, will offer 15 different collections that are currently only available in the United States.
Unique Feature Of Linking Physical Goods With NFTs
The most interesting feature about this marketplace is that it allows users to purchase physical goods and link them with their purchased non-fungible tokens. This makes it easier for collectors as they no longer have to go through crypto complexities and can simply use their credit cards for making payments and receive their products at home just like a regular purchase.
Andy Jassy’s Statement On Selling NFTs
This new initiative from Amazon comes after CEO Andy Jassy said back in April 2022 that they were open to selling non-fungible tokens (NFTs) “in the distant future”. The reports of this interest started circulating around January 2021 which eventually led to this confirmed date by Yahoo Finance for launching this marketplace.
Competition With Other Platforms
With Amazon entering into this space, there is a possibility that it might be competing against existing platforms such as Blur and OpenSea – both are existing platforms which allow users to buy, sell and trade digital assets including artworks and collectibles in exchange for cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies .
Conclusion
The launch of Amazon’s own Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) marketplace could potentially simplify user experience when it comes to buying digital assets and make it easier for people who don’t understand crypto mechanics but would still like explore possibilities within this space.
