Binance Reveals 100 Creators for Its Upcoming NFT Platform

Binance’s non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace is featuring 100 artists under its “100 Creators” program that includes local to global artists from around the world.

Set to go live on June 24, the NFT platform includes “Trading Marketplace” which debuts alongside the previously announced “Premium Event” category that includes big names such as musicians Lil Yachty and Lewis Capaldi, artists Trevor Jones and Frank Holliday, pro athletes Guti and Alphonso Davis, and more.

On the counterpart, “Trading Market” features content from regional talents and everyday creators.

Remarking on the 100 Creators Campaign, Helen Hai, Head of Binance NFT, said:

“The 100 Creators campaign was created to empower innovative but regional creators and introduce them to NFT collectors and enthusiasts around the world. We are very excited to work with these creators and hope to bring them to the mainstream of the industry.”

After the marketplace launches on June 24, only the selected 100 creators will be able to sell their artworks for the first week due to its invitation-only campaign.

Providing Opportunity for Everyday Creators

Other participants include Wian, the Uganda National Museum, crypto meme musician Lil Bubble, Australian artist Bianca Beers and Malaysian artist Red Hong Yi.

Tattoo artist, Johnny Gloom remarks on how NFTs are providing the artist with new creative perspectives, saying:

“NFTs are helping artists secure their work and giving them new creative perspectives no matter the medium they were initially working with, in my case skin. It has been a very interesting experience as a tattoo artist, working essentially in the tangible world and on people’s bodies, to now present my work in a digital way.”

Another artist, Red Hong Yi, whose compositions have been featured on the cover of Time magazine said:

“My first piece is inspired by the internet meme culture and it will be part of a series called ‘MemeBank’. My NFT will be proof of ownership for the physical artwork that I will be creating. I look forward to presenting my collectibles soon.”
