Not only NFT, but also cryptocurrency payments
Earlier this month, eBay CEO Jamie Iannone hinted that the company was looking to enable NFT purchases on eBay, which is popular just as a hub for collectibles.
eBay has millions of users worldwide, and selling NFTs will give the industry the visibility and credibility it needs. For users, it also means easier access to NFTs, which is necessary for the emergence of the industry.
There has also been speculation that eBay may authorize cryptocurrency payments on the platform. A topic that Iannone himself addressed this month.
“We always try to invest in relevant forms of payment and we will continue to evaluate others in the future. We have no immediate plans, but (cryptocurrency) is something we are keeping an eye on, ”he said in a recent interview.
Thanks to this good news, we can hope to see NFTs appear on eBay's rival sites and even more money will flow into the industry.
