GameStop za zagon tržnice NFT, ki temelji na veriženju blokov

Ameriški prodajalec video iger – GameStop Corp. – je sodeloval z Immutable X Pty Limited (rešitev za skaliranje za nezamenljive žetone), da bi vzpostavil trg NFT. Kot del posla sta obe strani ustvarili sklad v višini 100 milijonov dolarjev.

GameStop z NFT Marketplace

According to GameStop’s Objava, Immutable X will become a layer-2 partner for the former’s NFT marketplace. The project is expected to see the light of day later this year. Immutable X will also provide nearly $150 million in IMX tokens to GameStop upon achieving specific goals.

Na spletnem mestu GameStop se lahko prijavi vsak, ki želi postati ustvarjalec vsebin na trgu NFT, vključno s studii za igre na srečo, razvijalci Web3 in Metaverse.

Podrobnosti o sodelovanju in druge pomembne informacije bodo razkrite v obrazcu 8-K s Komisijo za vrednostne papirje in borzo ZDA (SEC).

GameStop signalizirali its interest in blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens earlier this year when it launched a new division dedicated to cryptocurrency partnerships. Initially, the company hired 20 people to run the unit.

Poleg tega je GameStop začel razvijati spletno središče za trgovanje z video igricami NFT, vključno s predmeti, kot so oblačila in orožje za uporabo v virtualni resničnosti.

In September last year, the firm was govorice to be working on an Ethereum-based non-fungible token platform. Back then, Jordan Holberg – Principal Engineer of GameStop – asserted that his organization aims to become the “bridge between the old and the new – traditional legacy e-commerce and the next generation of blockchain.”

Saga GameStop

Ameriški prodajalec videoiger je lani postal zelo priljubljen po kratkem zmanjšanju delnic podjetja, kar je povzročilo znatne motnje na trgu.

At the beginning of 2021, GameStop’s shares turned into a frenzy as many people started investing in them navdih by a Reddit group called WallStreetBets. On January 28, 2021, those stocks traded at $483 (an all-time high).

At the heights of the uncontrolled excitement, Anthony Scaramucci – SkyBridge Capital’s Co-Founder – opomin that GameStop’s skyrocketing shares are actually positive for bitcoin and decentralized finance:

»Dejavnost v GameStopu je dokaz več koncepta, da bo Bitcoin deloval. Kako boste premagali decentralizirano množico? To je zame bolj potrdilo o decentraliziranih financah. "

V naslednjih dneh in tednih je blaznost pojenjala, v začetku februarja pa so delnice GameStop padle na skoraj 50 $ (padec za okoli 90 %). Trenutno trgujejo po približno 100 $.
