SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 20 January 2022 - Bybit, one of the world's fastest growing
cryptocurrency exchanges, announced the launch of the Bybit NFT Marketplace, a
non-fungible token (NFT) platform that aims to streamline digital ownership and
support the development of blockchain gaming and the metaverse.
The Bybit NFT Marketplace is set to become a one-stop shop that brings together
artists, creators and collectors. Bybit users will not be required to link
their personal wallet addresses to the platform. Instead, they can buy, sell or
trade NFTs on the Ethereum ERC-721 standard through their Bybit spot accounts —
opening the door to digital ownership to collectors of all knowledge and skill
levels.
The Bybit NFT Marketplace also allows users to conduct multi-chain
transactions, making it easy for everyone to participate in the exciting NFT,
GameFi, and metaverse marketplaces. Bybit's secure and reliable infrastructure
means that NFT collectors can verify the authenticity and the chain of custody
of their favorite NFTs, making it easy for users to authenticate its origin and
value.
Bybit NFT Marketplace
Opens Its Doors With Monster Galaxy NFTs, Artworks Curated by ONBD and REALY
Apparel
To further spur interest among the community, Bybit is launching campaigns
featuring exclusive NFTs from Monsters Galaxy, ONBD and REALY as its debut into
the NFT world.
Inspired by crowd
favorites like Pokémon and Monster Hunter, Monsters Galaxy is a social
role-playing mobile game developed by Gaia Online that allows players to
participate in epic monster battles with their teams of monsters, or capture
wild monsters. So far, it has attracted over 25 million players across the
globe to be part of its fanbase.
As a curatorial brand and incubator focused on discovering, conceptualizing and
realizing NFT projects, ONBD
collaborates with crypto-native artists and traditional artists alike to
onboard them to the metaverse. The first series from ONBD on the Bybit NFT
Marketplace features more than 100 unique NFT artworks from nine artists from
around the world.
The REALY
Metaverse, also known as KOOOLA virtual city, is a lively metaverse inspired by
street culture where users can meet, trade and play games in a fully immersive
experience. Players will get to interact with real-life brands and scenarios in
the virtual world as avatars (e.g. purchase and wear virtual clothing by real
world brands).
What to Expect From
Bybit's NFT Marketplace
Whether
you're new to digital collectibles or an NFT collector, Bybit's NFT marketplace
promises one of the best collections available, along with reliability,
stability and a seamless user experience.
Other
than partnerships with Monsters Galaxy, ONBD and REALY, Bybit will be curating
and releasing exclusive unique NFTs of high value from up-and-coming artists,
renowned celebrities as well as athletes, with mystery boxes up for grabs.
Artists and creators can look forward to the deep liquidity and access to over
5 million Bybit users. More collaborations will be announced in coming weeks.
"While some may be skeptical of the investment value
of NFTs, it remains a fact that NFTs not only make it possible for everyone to
participate in and appreciate digital ownership, but also enable artists and
creators to exercise control over the ownership of their work," said Ben Zhou,
co-founder and CEO of Bybit. "We are excited to provide a premier NFT platform
for Bybit users, so they can be part of the creation of a new marketplace and
new world called the metaverse."

established fanbase in mobile gaming. Our aim is to nurture and grow this
community, as we lead them into a blockchain enabled Web 3.0 ecosystem. Bybit's
NFT Marketplace is focused on creating a seamless user experience for new users
of crypto, backed by their robust infrastructure and deep exchange liquidity
which make them the ideal partners for our maiden NFT collection drop. We look
forward to working closely with their team," said James Cao, founder and CEO of
Monster Galaxy.
"ONBD is proud to be building a strong Web 3.0
community of dedicated artists and collectors of the highest caliber. We are
very excited to be working with Bybit and their new world class NFT Marketplace
to engage with their community and introduce our internationally renowned
artists to a new audience," said Eva Ren, founder and CEO of ONBD.
"REALY's goal is to be at the forefront of the street culture metaverse and we
are very excited to achieve this milestone with Bybit, which is known for their
deep liquidity and their no-down-time commitment. The Bybit NFT Marketplace is
a clear choice for us to debut our street culture NFTs," said George Yang,
founder and CEO of REALY.
