KuCoin Becomes First Exchange to Offer NFT ETFs
According to a recent announcement, popular crypto firm KuCoin has become the first centralized exchange to launch a non-fungible token exchange-traded fund (ETF). KuCoin has partnered with Fracton Protocol to launch the Trading Zone ETF, which aims to increase liquidity for the exchange's more than 20 million users and reduce investment limits for these assets.
KuCoin Is Going Fully On NFT Despite Market Downturn
The ETF will provide investors with exposure to blue-chip NFTs that can be purchased directly with Tether (USDT). As such, the ETF is made up of five popular NFT collections including BAYC (hiBAYC), CryptoPunks (hiPUNKS), Koda NFTs (hiKODA), hiSAND33 and hiENS4. KuCoin is working on developing several NFT-related products and services this year.
In April, it launched two NFT launchpads, Wonderland and Windven. The firm said that it will continue to roll out more NFT and Web3-related features in the future. While KuCoin is the first crypto exchange to launch an NFT ETF, fintech firm Defianance was already a step ahead of the world's first NFT ETF, which was launched on 2 December last year.
