GameStop has announced its intention to launch its long-teased NFT marketplace sometime in the second quarter of this year.
In its fourth-quarter overview, the company highlighted the fact that it “hired dozens of additional individuals with experience in areas such as blockchain gaming, ecommerce and technology, product refurbishment and operations.”
Moreover, the firm emphasized its partnership with the Ethereum-based NFT scaling solution Immutable X, which would involve Immutable X facilitating the development of the NFT marketplace GameStop had in the works. As part of this deal, GameStop would receive as much as $150 million worth of IMX tokens. As of the following day, GameStop had sold nearly 15 million of the IMX tokens it had received as part of the partnership.
GameStop ended last year with $1.271 billion in cash and cash equivalents.
As far back as May of last year, GameStop had been taking steps towards its own non-fungible token marketplace. As was highlighted in its report, the company made many hires related to its marketplace for NFTs, including eight more job listings just last October. As of Dec. 28, GameStop was attempting to find NFT content creators.
At press time, shares of GME had rallied on the day, up over 7%.
