Six non-fungible tokens were released on the Crypto.com blockchain. They are devoted to the first public trades of Spotify, Snowflake, Unity, DoorDash, Roblox and Coupang. Each token includes pricing metadata and marks the exact moment the company went public.

“Each message is recorded in the digital ledger of our trading platform. One of these messages marks the first trade on the NYSE, giving others the opportunity to share in its success,” wrote the president of the NYSE Stacey Cunningham in her blog.

The NFTs were gifted to each company. Cunningham hinted that in the near future the exchange may release more tokens, but does not plan to sell them.
\n
“There will be many more NFTs on the NYSE as we welcome new innovative companies to our community,” she wrote.
