02/05/2022 Coinbase NFT Marketplace Beta Sees Less Than 900 Transactions in Opening Week

The exchange’s long-awaited NFT platform saw 73 ETH in trade volume in its first week after a small portion of its three million-person waitlist was granted access.

According todata from crypto analytics site Dune, Coinbase’s marketplace had less than 900 total transactions since its launch on April 20. (The data is routed through 0x Project, which Coinbase tapped for themarketplace’s back end.)

Total trade volume on the marketplace in that time has been 73 ETH (roughly $217,000), with around 650 users so far transacting on the platform.

The low usage stats can likely be attributed to the fact that Coinbase has only granted a small portion of its three-million person waitlist access to the platform. In an emailed statement to CoinDesk, Coinbase said it would not be able to confirm any user data on its NFT marketplace because the product is in beta.

For comparison purposes, established NFT marketplace OpenSea did over $808 million in Ethereum-based trade volume during that same period, amongst over 36,000 users.

Coinbase has said its social-focused marketplace is still in its early stages of development, with plans to drive more users to the platform with exclusive partnerships to be announced in the coming months.

Who Is The Creator 2
The idea for this piece was borne out of a tweet of mine that caused a bit of a stir. I’d posted a link to a blog article I’d written a number of months previous titled ‘Who is the Creator’ discussing various types of creative collaborations and why I hire people to work on my animations. It generated a lot of debate around creation and attribution with the community split on whether it’s right or wrong for an artist to hire other professionals to help them realize their art projects. I decided to push the boundaries even further and see how the cryptoart community responded. What if I quite literally had nothing to do with the physical or digital elements of the work other than coming up with the concept and coordinating it? I decided there was one artist in the space who could add huge value to this idea on levels that none other could and so I gathered my courage and contacted the great José Delbo to ask him if he’d be interested in a very unique collaboration. I explained to him that to make this piece ‘work’ he couldn't have any say in what I produced and moreover, he wouldn’t even be allowed to see the animation until it was dropped on MakersPlace. To my surprise, Mr Delbo agreed to my proposal. The animation tells the story of the creative process, which includes my roles as writer, director, and producer working with a team and making edits and changes ‘in real time’. The dialogue between myself and my ‘hired guns’ plays out in front of the viewer. The music written for the piece adds to the nostalgia of the comic book superhero theme but other elements such as the snapping and kicking of the pencil and the signing of my signature at the bottom incorporates further layers and challenges the viewer to ask important questions, such as, is the ‘Art’ the final animation (the creation) or is the ‘Art’ the concept/credit for the creation itself?
