Mobile Factory started "Unima NFT purchase (β version)" service
Mobile Factory and its subsidiary Bit Factory started NFT purchase service on November 11th. The two companies launched the NFT marketplace “Unima” in Japan in July this year.
The “Unima NFT purchase (β version)” service announced this time is literally a service that buys NFTs owned by general users in Japanese yen. Applicants can apply by simply entering the required information in the dedicated form. After screening and assessment, NFTs can be sold without going through the NFT marketplace or exchange, with minimal hassle.
Regarding the spread of NFTs in Japan, the company believes that "securing the liquidity of NFT transactions is essential for the future expansion of the NFT market", which led to the start of this service. In order to lower the hurdles of trading NFTs owned, it has started a service to buy NFTs in Japanese yen as a related service of “Unima”.
In the announcement, examples of NFT collections to be purchased include Hashmasks, CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, The Sandbox, CryptoSpells, Sorare, and idol NFT trading cards.
In addition, when "Atarashii Economy" interviewed the company, "These are examples, and if there is a proper history on a blockchain such as Ethereum and the NFT you have in your own web3 wallet, we plan to review the purchase. It was said that.
In addition to the NFT purchase service, Mobile Factory and Bit Factory hold a certain amount of crypto assets such as Ethereum, and conduct bidding, purchase, and resale of NFTs. It is said that such measures are being considered.
