The launch comes at a time when the popularity of NFT marketplaces increased in the last one year. However, it still lags in broad-based mainstream adoption.
The introduction of the new payments solution is expected to facilitate transactions as well as fuel mainstream NFT adoption.
Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire said: “This is not only an important and valuable trend for marketplaces and creators, it represents incredible demand from customers – for collectibles, artwork, moments, and really anything that can be tokenised on the blockchain.
“Circle looks forward to supporting the industry – creators, platforms, marketplaces, storefronts and customers – with our solution for enabling a user-friendly, mainstream payments experience with the power of crypto connectivity and USDC.”
