FTX launches NFT marketplace in U.S.

Crypto exchange FTX is set to launch a U.S.-exclusive NFT marketplace. The platform will enable users to mint, buy, and sell NFTs — all traded cross-chain across the Ethereum and Solana blockchains. Deposits and withdrawals are also expected to be launched in the coming weeks, opening up the capability of depositing external NFTs onto the platform.

Why do you care? A marketplace like the one FTX is planning frees users from having to keep their digital assets in the marketplace where they were purchased. It’s great for owners of NFT tickets and game tokens who want to sell or trade their digital assets in the open market. FTX joins Binance, OKEx, and a bunch of other exchanges who have all jumped on the NFT bandwagon.
