Purchase launches new Marketplace purchase Nft

E-commerce giant Mercari has announced the launch of Mercari NFT, an online marketplace that will enable users to buy and sell NFTs directly on the Mercari platform.

Starting January 28, 2025, Mercari users will be able to access popular NFTs listed on OpenSea, a major NFT marketplace, as Mercari integrates digital assets into its ecosystem. This launch marks a significant milestone in expanding from a marketplace for physical goods into the world of digital assets.

Mercari has grown to become Japan’s leading marketplace app, boasting over 23 million monthly active users and more than 4 billion cumulative listings as of September 2024. In line with its mission to “circulate all forms of value to unleash the potential in all people,” the company has expanded into digital payments (Merpay) and cryptoassets (Mercoin).

With the launch of Mercari NFT, the company is expanding its ecosystem to include NFTs, allowing users to purchase digital assets using their Mercari sales balance. By eliminating the need for a separate crypto wallet or account, Mercari NFT simplifies access to digital assets and makes listing purchased NFTs just as easy as selling physical items.

Key Features of Mercari NFT

Mercari NFT offers a range of features designed to enhance the user experience and simplify the buying and selling of NFTs:

● Direct Purchase from OpenSea: From the first day of its launch, Mercari NFT offers access to NFTs from popular projects listed on OpenSea.

● Simple Interface: Mercari users can easily navigate the NFT marketplace, which is seamlessly integrated into the existing Mercari app.

● Use of Mercari Sales Balance: Users can conveniently purchase NFTs using their sales balance from physical goods sold on Mercari, without the need for additional cryptoassets.

● Effortless Listing after Purchase: Purchased NFTs can be listed for sale on Mercari with just a few taps, making it as easy as selling physical items on the platform.

Plans for Growth

Mercari has ambitious plans to grow Mercari NFT and establish it as a leading digital marketplace for NFTs.

Looking ahead, Mercari will 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 further diversify the offerings on Mercari NFT and cater to a wide range of user interests.
