WazirX - Binance-owned crypto exchange WazirX on Tuesday said it has launched South Asia’s first non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace with 15 creators hailing from multiple categories including digital artists, muralist photographers, canvas artists, space 3D artists, street artists, and visual artists to sell their work. For the uninitiated, every NFT is unique and cannot be traded unlike cryptocurrencies, which are identical to each other, and can enable commercial transactions. For instance, one Bitcoin is equal to another Bitcoin or Re 1 is equal to another Re 1 but NFTs cannot be a medium of transactions because of their uniqueness. However, they are being used to represent real-life assets such as artwork. In fact, celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton have used NFT to release their artwork in the recent past. #startup #business #india #news #cryptocurrency #bitcoins #indianstrtups #online #ecommerce #digital #wazirx #indianstartupbuddy (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPqPCGqB79g/?utm_medium=tumblr
