Amazon To Launch First 15 NFT Collections On Digital Marketplace

Get ready, because Amazon is about to enter the world of web3 with a new NFT Marketplace! They're planning to launch it at the end of April, with 15 collections to start.

While it's unclear whether an Amazon token will be involved, the platform will be available to US users through a tab on the Amazon website.

The launch date was postponed twice due to crypto market dips, but now it's finally happening around April 24.

How does that song go again? CEO, Entrepreneur, born in 1964...

If you're a US-based Prime subscriber, you might even receive an email blast promoting the new marketplace. As for expanding to other regions, Amazon plans to do so gradually.

There's no official word yet from Amazon, but rumors are spreading fast.

We honestly can't wait for Amazon to enter the web3 Marketplace wars!

In our coverage of the news, we also cover why some are skeptical due to the company's controversial employee policies. The company is currently offering a meager $20-$28 an hour for its full-time Web3 Global Program Manager position. McDonald's? This You?

Yuga Lab’s “TwelveFold” BTC NFTs Sell Out, Cheapest Was $50K

Yuga Labs' TwelveFold Bitcoin NFT auction just closed, with successful bidders spending a whopping $16.5 million worth of BTC on the 300 unique generative art pieces.

The auction received over 3,000 bids within 24 hours, with the highest bid reaching around $159,500.

Yuga Labs previously released NFTs on Ethereum, but TwelveFold is their first collection inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain using a new method called Ordinals.

Each of the 288 pieces won at auction will be unique, with the code generating each piece based on its rank in the bidding process.

Brb praying for generational wealth rn.

However, some criticized the bidding process, which required bidders to deposit the full amount of their bids directly with Yuga. Despite this, Yuga promised to return rejected bids within 24 hours.

Just Yuga Labs doing Yuga Labs things.
