Share This Post

It was revealed today by Rakuten Group, Inc. that the company will be launching Rakuten NFT, a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace and sales platform.

A program called Rakuten NFT provides a marketplace for users to purchase and sell NFTs in a range of categories, including sports and entertainment, such as music and anime.

A one-stop platform that enables intellectual property owners to construct their own website for the purpose of issuing and selling NFTs is also part of the package.

Users can earn and spend Rakuten Points by making purchases with their Rakuten ID and by logging in with their Rakuten ID.

If a buyer purchases NFTs, they can either add them to a collection on their own website, or they can post them on the marketplace and sell them there.

NFT material is expected to be issued and sold on a peer-to-peer basis by 2023 or later, allowing intellectual property (IP) holders in Japan and around the world to issue NFTs and supporting the creation of a worldwide NFT market. A range of additional payment options are also being considered, according to the plans.

It will be possible to purchase an NFT based on Ultraman anime computer-generated assets as well as an NFT of the horse racing-themed comic Kurogane Hiroshi G1 Gekitoshi (2010 Series), which features illustrations by renowned manga artist Hiroshi Kurogane.



Rakuten NFT will continue to develop innovative and engaging entertainment experiences, thereby enhancing the level of convenience and happiness available to the widest possible spectrum of people worldwide.
