The NFT market is on the rise

“KnownOrigin has built an impressive, passionate and loyal group of artists and collectors, making them the perfect addition to our community of sellers and buyers. We look forward to welcoming these innovators as they join the eBay community,” Iannone added.

The acquisition takes place one month after eBay will launch its first NFT Collection in partnership with the OneOf web3 platform.

Although eBay has a strong position in trading online, the company will have strong competition with dozens of its own NFT marketplaces that exist on the Internet3. But with the acquisition of KnownOrigin, it seems that eBay makes big bets on non-fungible tokens.
