In other news on Instagram, Meta added NFTs to the photo-sharing social network this week.
Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg hinted that Facebook may soon follow Instagram’s lead.
Zuckerberg stated that he was starting to build for NFTs in his metaverse and Reality Labs work as well as across his family of apps.
“We are testing digital collectibles via Instagram, so creators and collectors have the opportunity to display their NFTs.”
If Facebook’s rollout looks anything like Instagram’s, then NFTs will be available to a limited number of users.
For a limited number of US-based creators, NFTs were launched on Instagram.
Adam Mosseri, Instagram boss, has stated that NFTs are only available to “a few US creators and collectors”.
Mosseri said that there will be no charges for sharing a digital collection on IG.
An accompanying badge will also be displayed alongside an NFT when it is posted to Instagram.
