Popular cryptocurrency exchange FTX has become the latest crypto platform to announce the introduction of a native NFT marketplace, following the parabolic expansion of the non-fungible token\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> (NFT) ecosystem since the turn of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform, which is only available to clients in the United States, will allow users to mint, purchase, and sell NFTs, which will be transacted cross-chain between the Ethereum and Solana blockchains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the following weeks, deposits and withdrawals are planned to be available, allowing users to deposit external NFTs onto the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exchange has produced a word-art style graphic that just states “Test” as a public demonstration of the new capability. The image now has a bid of $1,100 and a time remaining of 19 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried voiced concern about the quick growth of the NFT area in an interview with CNBC's Street Signs Asia two weeks ago, noting that investors<\/a> could become vulnerable in such a dynamic market if they are not adequately educated on the possible hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt could lead to just incredibly fast and giant adoption. It could also lead, frankly, to sort of a sour taste in people\u2019s mouth if there\u2019s a crash, and no one ever quite figured out what it was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FTX isn't the only cryptocurrency exchange that will enter this market in 2021. Binance, a direct competitor, established its own NFT marketplace in June, collaborating with soccer stars Michael Owen and Alphonso Davis, as well as singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi and artist Trevor Jones, on a unique “100 Creators” project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cryptocurrency spot and futures trading OKEx just introduced an NFT hub<\/a>, which allows users to mint, buy, and trade NFT assets within the exchange's ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, OpenSea became the first NFT marketplace to reach a monthly trading volume of $1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DappRadar's most recent data, the platform generated a whopping $4 billion in sales volume in the last 30 days, much surpassing its closest competitors Axie Infinity and CryptoPunks, who had $790 million and $583 million, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dune Analytics, total NFT sales volume increased to $2.5 billion in the first half of 2021, up from $13.7 million in the first half of 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
