On 24 April, the tech giant Amazon will launch Web3-initiative related to non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The Big Whale reports The Big Whale.
According to the publication, a dedicated tab called Amazon Digital Marketplace will appear on the company’s site. In the initial phase, access to 15 collections will be available to users in the United States, with access extended to other countries later.
The press noted that the initiative’s launch had been postponed twice, allegedly due to the FTX situation.
In spring 2022, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy hinted at NFT sales on the company’s platform in the future. He also stressed that he expected ‘significant growth’ in the non-fungible token sector.
In early 2023, Blockworks, citing sources, reported plans for the company launch an NFT-related initiative in the spring.
In February, Amazon Web Services opened a specialist position in the Web3 field. The role involves liaising with startups and large enterprises, developing platform services, and expanding product groups.
Earlier, The New York Times wrote about plans by the tech giant to cut a record 10,000 jobs in its history.
