Sotheby’s, which is one of “the world’s largest, most trusted and dynamic marketplace for art and luxury”, has announced the launch of its own non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace called “Sotheby’s Metaverse”.
Sotheby’s, which was established on 11 March 1744 in London, is getting into the world of digital collectibles by offering Sotheby’s Metaverse, “an immersive destination for collectors of digital art, offering a curated selection of NFTs”.
According to a report by Decrypt, Sotheby’s Metaverse will auction NFTs, and wll accept fiat currency in addition to Ethereum, Bitcoin and USDC. The auction house will feature NFTs created on Ethereum, as well as blockchains that are compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, thereby in theory opening the door to blockchains such as Polygon and Binance Smart Chain.
