Circle to overcome some of the difficulties in NFT Marketplace
NFT has been trending in the crypto space recently. The sector has witnessed several arts, video game collectibles, and musicals sold for millions of dollars. One of the most extraordinary events for NFT that caused so much attention was Beeple Art’s sale that persisted for as high as $69 million. A few weeks back, Square’s CEO, Jack Dorsey, sold his first Tweet as NFT for $2.9 million. These sales have attracted lots of interest amongst mainstream investors.
Nevertheless, there has been a minor difficulty with NFTs, as investors generally buy content using cryptocurrencies. While utilizing cryptos to buy NFT collections has its opportunities, it has somehow stopped multiple investors who do not hold digital currencies from getting associated with the recent trend. Based on this, Circle has revealed the initiative to facilitate conventional investors to penetrate the NFT market. It allows the execution of NFT purchase and sale using cryptocurrencies and credit card payment options.
