Abstract:The Japanese messaging giant, Line has expanded its services into the cryptocurrency space by launching a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace. Announced on Wednesday, the platform is available only in Japan and is operated by LVC Corporation, operator of LINE's crypto asset and blockchain businesses.
It partnered with Yoshimoto Kogyo to bring exclusive NFTs content.
The platform is offering more than 40,000 NFTs at launch.
Dubbed LINE NFT, the marketplace will offer a range of digital content, allowing users to buy and trade NFTs.
Additionally, the chat app partnered with the Japanese entertainment conglomerate, Yoshimoto Kogyo Holdings Co. Ltd. for its NFT marketplace. The entertainment house will provide exclusive content on the new marketplace under the label Yoshimoto NFT Theater. In addition, it will include NFTs from the classic Japanese anime series Patlabor the Mobile Police and several other popular characters.
An Early Adopter of Crypto
Line was one of the mainstream technology companies that adopted cryptocurrencies at an early stage. It launched a crypto trading platform in 2018 and gained approval from the Japanese financial market supervisor in the following year.
At launch, the NFT marketplace of the chat app is offering around 40,000 NFTs. The platform has plans to expand its offering with exclusive content from the Japanese entertainment space.
Users of the platform can store purchased NFTs in their LINE BITMAX Wallet, which they can register directly from their Line account. Moreover, Line users can send and exchange NFTs with other users of the platform.
Furthermore, the announcement revealed that LVC has plans to collaborate with LINE family services in the future and with other group companies to offer NFT services.
Meanwhile, several Japanese platforms have jumped into the NFT space recently. Major internet company, Rakuten launched a similar NFT marketplace last February to enhance its crypto presence. But, Japanese companies are not alone as several global platforms like eToro and NAGA have also dived into the NFT space.
