Something big is coming 👀
It is expected that the NYSE would create a digital marketplace for blockchain-based products to complement the NFT industry’s big players like OpenSea and Rarible. This isn’t the first venture into non-fungible markets. Six NFTs were created by the NYSE in April 2021 to celebrate the listing of several high-tech stocks on the exchange. These items were not able to be traded on any platforms at the time and instead represented a pivotal moment in the history the exchange’s existence. It will be fascinating to see where the NYSE takes their blockchain-based enterprise.
