Mercari has announced the launch of Mercari NFT, a new online marketplace that enables users to buy and sell digital assets directly through the platform.
Expanding Mercari's Mission
Mercari has become Japan's leading marketplace app with over 23 million monthly active users and more than 4 billion cumulative listings as of September 2024. The company continues to align with its mission to 'circulate all forms of value to unleash the potential in all people,' expanding into digital payments (Merpay) and cryptoassets (Mercoin). With Mercari NFT, users can purchase NFTs using their Mercari sales balance.
Key Features of Mercari NFT
Mercari NFT offers users a seamless experience to buy NFTs using familiar payment methods. Purchased NFTs are displayed in the 'My items & listings' section, making management easy. Users can also list their purchased NFTs for sale, with profits credited to their sales balance. Buyers are not charged transaction fees when purchasing NFTs.
Plans for Growth
From its launch, Mercari NFT offers access to projects listed on OpenSea. Looking ahead, Mercari plans to collaborate with businesses and IP holders in Japan and abroad to issue and sell NFTs in various categories such as art, trading cards, and entertainment. This expansion aims to establish Mercari NFT as a leading digital marketplace for NFTs.
The launch of Mercari NFT marks a significant milestone for the company as it expands into the digital assets world, enhancing user capabilities to buy and sell NFTs on the familiar Mercari platform.
