Crypto exchange and digital wallet providerBlockchain.comis developing a marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

  • The Luxembourg-headquartered company has opened a waiting list for the new platform, which will allow users to buy, sell and store NFTs.
  • The existing process for buying an NFT is “complex and unintuitive,”Blockchain.com said. The company aims to make it more straightforward and user friendly by adding NFT functionality directly into its wallet.
  • “We want to make accessing the NFT market as easy as accessing the crypto market,” Blockchain.comsaid in an announcement Thursday.
  • Interest in NFTs has grown this year, with tradingvolume surging 700% to $10.7 billionin the third quarter, attracting the attention ofsports teams,musiciansandartists, among others. That popularity could accelerate if exchanges of the size of Blockchain.com, which says it has 70 million wallet users in 200 countries, are able to expand the potential number of purchasers and make the process more intuitive.

The Investor's Dream
The second "Visual Toy" about cryptocurrency and its universe that continues the exclusive collection on this theme. After the first Visual Toy, dedicated to the cryptocurrency itself, this visual toy is the other side of the coin. It represents, as its title tells us, the investor's dream, the current person and his financial hopes. A surreal fantasy of the dreams and longings of every investor, in this case the crypto investor. In this magical, happy and colorful dream, aspirations of all kinds intermingle, both the desire for great benefits, represented in a long animation that shows us a production cycle or series production that ranges from the gastronomic recipe of a two-ingredient cake. Bitcoin slice and Ethereum smoothie, passing through magic, represented in a fairy that transforms the cake into real money, which is sucked into a giant capsule to accumulate it and multiply it. The rest is full of investor aspirations, which appear in their dreams in the form of profits or screens that announce that values are rising steadily, as well as physical possessions, such as the sailboat, the helicopter, homes and other objects or possibilities. A dream full of happiness, fun and hope.
