According to CoinDesk, the internet titan is poised to implement its NFT ambitions, with an e-mail from an official Amazon e-mail account confirming the existence of an NFT marketplace on the e-commerce site.
Amazon‘s NFT ambitions were confirmed when an e-mail was sent to Nikhilesh De, CoinDesk’s editor-in-chief of global policy and regulation. It was a transaction confirmation following the automated renewal of Amazon Prime subscription. He claimed that he did not purchase any NFT from Amazon and that, while he did not have any knowledge regarding the platform’s NFT integration, he did receive a notification e-mail in this regard.
Amazon’s Initiatives Shook the Market
He went on to say that while the e-mail he received said that an NFT had been put in a gallery maintained on Amazon‘s official website, the links in the e-mail were not yet operational. The communication purports to discuss selling potential, but it also adds that NFT will not be available for sale until it has been unlocked. Also, the obligation to register as an affiliate prior to placing NFT for sale is noteworthy.
For weeks, there have been speculations that Amazon intends to create its own NFT marketplace, but no official comment has been issued by the internet giant. The initial suggestion that Amazon will build its own NFT marketplace was made in January by the crypto news site Blockworks. At the time, Amazon indicated that it would concentrate on Blockchain-based gaming and associated NFT applications. Blockworks pushed their claim a step further at the beginning of the month, announcing that Amazon will launch its NFT platform on April 24 under the title “Amazon Digital Marketplace.”
Amazon‘s cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), said in January that it would collaborate with Ava Labs to broaden the breadth of business blockchain partnerships, although the release made no mention of NFTs or a digital marketplace.
