A Marketplace Beyond NFT Transactions
Coinbase will gradually allow more people to use the platform since the newly-launched marketplace is still in the beta phase, the blog post outlined. Currently, the beta version is fee-free, as tweeted by Coinbase.
đALL THE WALLETSđ
Beta testers will be able to create a profile to buy & sell NFTs using ~any~ self-custody wallet, whether thatâs @CoinbaseWallet or something else.

Users can connect any self-custody wallet to select the NFTs they want to exhibit on their profile. The platformâs interface shares similarities with Metaâs Instagram, which will integrate NFT transactions and displays in the coming months.
Coinbase regards its new marketplace as more than âjust buying and selling.â Instead, it is a socially-engaging community around creators and collectors.
To extend such a goal, the largest US exchange has built an interface that allows users to follow other profiles and start conversations by commenting directly on NFTs. Meanwhile, users can post up/downvote comments as conversations unfold, a functionality that imitates what social media platform offers to their users.
Whatâs Next?
Though the marketplace only offers NFT collections built on the Ethereum blockchain, Coinbase explained that users will be able to buy digital collectibles from other blockchains in the future. Also, people can purchase NFTs with their Coinbase accounts or credit cards, which will expectedly facilitate the mainstream adoption of such assets.
The company also outlined its ambition of going deep into the creator economy, as it promises to offer creator royalties for talents in the marketplace. Besides, the crypto giant also vows to provide more decentralized solutions aimed to shape the platform as a web 3 decentralized space.
