eBay is exploring NFT auctions and Bitcoin payments
Jamie Iannone, CEO of eBay has stated in a CNBC interview that the company is looking into new form of payments. eBay has recently introduced Apple pay and Google pay to give users more options.
Iannone mentioned that cryptocurrencies are interesting as payment options and also NFTs as eBay is known as the place to transact goods adding:
With 170 million buyers on the platform, this is the place that sellers come to get scale demand. We are looking at it and exploring opportunities. When you think about collectibles, everything that is collectable has been on eBay for decades and will continue to be for the next few decades.
The CEO also stated that it would still take eBay some time to enable NFT auctions. It’s important to understand that the term NFT, comes from Non-Fungible Tokens which were built on Ethereum. About 99% of all NFTs are on Ethereum and will most likely stay there. Anything that benefits NFTs, benefits Ethereum.
