According to recent reports, the e-commerce behemoth Amazon Inc is getting ready to roll out its NFT platform very soon. According to the details, the debut is scheduled for April 24th of the following month.
Amazon is reportedly (1) getting ready to start selling non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on its website, as revealed in an exclusive report by The Big Whale.
When the site opens for business, it will offer users access to approximately fifteen collections.
According to recent reports, Amazon has been hard at work on its NFT platform for quite some time now. The announcement that Amazon would participate in NFTs was made public for the first time in January of this year.
Amazon’s New Token Offering (NFT) project will enable the corporation to concentrate on blockchain-based games, which will reward gamers with non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, has expressed his optimism about the expansion of the non-fungible token market in the past.
He said:
“I anticipate that non-traditional trading will continue its extremely considerable growth. I do believe that over time you’ll see crypto get bigger, and it’s likely that Amazon will start accepting crypto payments. Nevertheless, we’re probably not near to adopting cryptocurrency as a payment method in our retail company.
Because Amazon serves such a large number of clients all around the world, the company has the potential to make a significant effect by providing NFTs.
Prior sources have also indicated that the NFTs will operate on Amazon rather than the cloud computing division of the corporation, which is known as Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Amazon’s Ambitions in NFT’s
E-commerce giant Amazon has displayed a rising interest in Web3 solutions over the course of the past year, as evidenced by the company’s creation of new job openings for the AWS team.
In December of 2022, Amazon also introduced con-fungible tokens by releasing a new documentary called “NFTMe”.
This video combines interviews with artists, enthusiasts, and industry people worldwide who talk about their experiences with NFTs. It shows how the fusion of art and technology has influenced their lives for the better.
In its inaugural season, NFTMe has featured interviews with more than 50 guests. Names such as Peter Rafelson and Cheryl Douglas, as well as Queen Diambi of Congo, Refik Anadol, Susaye Greene, and others, are included in this group.
But Amazon has also been financing some of the most well-known NFT platforms. Recently, the innovative NFT studio Superplastic was successful in securing 20 million dollars in Series A funding, which Amazon and other entities supported.
