KuCoin Becomes First Crypto Exchange to Launch Dedicated NFT Index Funds (ETFs)



Seychelles-based crypto exchange KuCoin has launched the first-ever index funds (ETF) tracking leading non-fungible tokens (NFT) like the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC).


As announced by the crypto exchange , the associated NFT ETF trading zone was launched on Friday, in which the investment products were launched in cooperation with the Fracton Protocol.


The KuCoin NFT ETFs are index funds denominated in Tether ( USDT ) that track the price developments of individual market-leading NFT projects such as the Bored Ape Yacht Club. The BAYC is only one of five projects for which there is an index fund. Under the ticker hiBAYC, the ETF is issued as an ERC-20 token, in which a single currency unit represents one millionth (1:1,000,000) of the relevant bored ape.


Above all, the ETFs are intended to ensure more liquidity in the NFT market by allowing crypto investors to buy them via USDT instead of necessarily having to invest in the digital collectibles in Ethereum ( ETH ). In addition, investors no longer have to deal with the complex handling of wallets, smart contracts and NFT trading platforms such as OpenSea.


In addition to the hiBAYC, the index funds CryptoPunks (hiPUNKS), Koda NFTs (hiKODA), hiSAND33 and hiENS4 are also available. After the hiBAYC started on Friday , hiPUNKS will follow on August 4th, the start dates for hiKODA, hiSAND33 and hiENS4 will each be announced at a later date.


The new ETFs are an important milestone for the NFT market, because such investment products can be used to break down entry barriers to the often high-priced assets.


KuCoin's efforts in this regard make strategic sense for the crypto exchange, as the company plans to launch its own interactive NFT platform, Wonderland, in April. In addition, Windvane, a company-owned NFT marketplace, is already in operation.


"KuCoin will continue to work on creating user-friendly products for investors that offer them uncomplicated access to the NFT market," explains Managing Director Johnny Lyu in this context. According to Lyu, KuCoin is the first ever centralized crypto exchange to offer dedicated NFT ETFs.

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...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
