EBay Buys NFT Marketplace KnownOrigin for Undisclosed Sum

EBay closed a deal to buy KnownOrigin, a non-fungible token marketplace, for an undisclosed sum. KnownOrigin enables artists and collectors to create, buy and resell NFTs via blockchain-support transactions, said eBay Wednesday. EBay began allowing the buying and selling of NFTs in May 2021, and buying KnownOrigin gives it further access to an audience of digital collectors, it said.
