Ebay expands crypto activities and buys NFT marketplace Knownorigin



 Ebay continues its involvement in digital collectibles with the acquisition of British company Knownorigin . The Ethereum -based platform claims to be one of the first and largest NFT marketplaces in the world. It ranks sixth on nonfugible.com's market tracker . In the press release, Ebay writes that the acquisition is an important step in the company's "technology-led realignment". It also heralds a "new era of digital collecting at the world's premier destination for collectibles."


10 million euros market volume in 4 years

The Knownorigin platform has existed since 2018. At that time it was founded in Manchester, where it is still based today. According to Dappradar, it has facilitated $7.8 million in trading volume since then . In its own dashboard, Knownorigin states that it has processed a total of 31,081 sales worth 9,247 ethers – this corresponds to around ten million euros (9.76 million dollars) at the current exchange rate.

Ebay CEO Jamie Iannoe says of the marketplace: "Knownorigin has built an impressive, passionate and loyal group of artists and collectors, making it a perfect addition to our community of sellers and buyers." David Moore, one of the founders of the NFT network , looks forward to the reach and experience that the future parent company will bring to the platform. Most recently, he and his team raised $4.3 million for Knownorigin in Series A funding. That was in February.


eBay has allowed NFT trading since 2021

How high the purchase price for the e-commerce multinational was is unknown. Observers consider the step to be understandable, since Ebay is moving more and more in this direction. The first NFT artworks were allowed to be sold on the platform in May 2021 . At that time, the leadership announced that it would bring further "capabilities" for blockchain-based collectibles to the platform. A year later, about a month ago, Ebay presented its first own NFT collection . The group marketed the sports artworks from the field of hockey together with the platform Oneof and the magazine Sports Illustrated.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...
