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.

PASSION FOR LIFE - 7/19 Limited Edition
PASSION FOR LIFE - 7/19 Limited Edition - Please enable the sound - This NFT was inspired by some of the attributes of a woman. She is so beautiful, elegant, and delicate, but at the same time powerful and full of passion. She merges with the universe and creates life in many ways, represented in this artwork by the dispersion of her body. I first sculpted this piece by hand, then digitalized it and gave it life and movement. Limited Edition 7/19 IG @ArtistLeonardo
My Other Half | Inspired by Minecraft: The Last Minecart (2011)
Almost every year, we capture ourselves in a way that no photo or video is capable of: with a photoscan. If you dig through our archives, you'll find many of them and can see exactly how we change over time.
Sam Gorski, Creator | I wanted to find the oldest scan of myself and put him side-by-side with Sam from the present. While it is hard to look at it and not miss the years past, at the same time, this gives me hope for the future by embracing and cherishing the change in my life. How would I have gotten this far without him?
About This Piece | Sam on the left was captured in 2014, while Sam on the right was captured last week (2021). This work represents the personal, creative, and emotional journey in all of us, and the hope that ourselves tomorrow may be better than ourselves today.
The Bleeding Heart is a Rape Victim
I make this piece with tears streaming down my face. I have endured the worst violation a woman could endure. He raped me. He took away my power my sweet inner innocence. He tugged hard at my heart and ripped it out and ate it whole. He took it all away from me. I will never have that pureness back ever. I may grow on and heal from the torment but it will forever haunt me, in my dreams and in my mind where my memories are locked away. A lot of the night has been erased for my own sanity and protection but some of the vile darkness does bubble up. It comes to the corner of my mind and reminds me of the horrific night I had to meet face to face with. This night may have made me stronger but it has also broken me in so many ways.
