E-commerce giant eBay has ušla the non-fungible token (NFT) sector through a strategic partnership with Web3 company OneOf.
eBay’s exclusive NFTs will include animated and 3D interpretations of iconic athletes highlighted on Sports Illustrated covers in the past years.
To offer high-value items and heightened passion to the eBay community of buyers and sellers, NFTs emerged as an ideal stepping stone, according to Dan Block, the VP of Collectibles, Electronics, and Home at eBay.
Blok dodan:
“NFTs and blockchain technology are revolutionizing the collectibles space, and are increasingly viewed as an investment opportunity for enthusiasts. Through our partnership with OneOf, eBay is now making coveted NFTs more accessible to a new generation of collectors everywhere.”
With 142 million buyers worldwide, eBay is the second-largest e-commerce player after Amazon and seeks to render more economic opportunities through cutting-edge technologies like NFTs.
Lin Dai, OneOf’s CEO, pointed out:
“Ne morate biti stručnjak za kriptovalute da biste kupovali, prodavali i prikupljali NFT. OneOf i eBay donose transformativnu Web3 tehnologiju sljedećih 100 miliona masovnih potrošača koji nisu kripto-nativni.”
The NFT collection will comprise 13 limited editions, classified as green, gold, platinum, and diamond.
Wayne Gretzky, a Sportsman of the Year, noted:
“Prije četrdeset godina bio sam zahvalan što sam se našao na naslovnoj strani Sports Illustrateda, bio je to monumentalan trenutak u mom životu. Počastvovan sam što mogu da donesem ovo kolekcionarsko iskustvo mojim ljubiteljima hokeja koji prate moju karijeru decenijama.”
E-commerce players continue entering the crypto space based on the opportunities rendered. A recent study by Checkout.com istaknut that nearly 70% of merchants view crypto payments as game-changers needed to revolutionize business models.
