JAKARTA – Following the boom of NFT, e-commerce giant eBay is reportedly launching its first NFT digital art collection after exploring a partnership with Wayne Gretzky, a hockey legend. The partnership was carried out on Monday, May 24.

The San Jose, California-based e-commerce partner joins “green” NFT platform OneOf, in launching a digital collection.

According to U.Today, eBay's NFT collection will feature 13 different pieces of art dedicated to one of the greatest hockey players of all time. Each collection will be priced up to 1,500 US dollars.

For information, eBay e-commerce was launched during the dot-com boom in the late 1990s. It remains the second most popular e-commerce platform in the US, but is substantially behind rival Amazon.

In 2021, eBay CEO Jamie Iannone stated that the company would open payments with cryptocurrencies. U.Today reports eBay first announced that it would allow the sale of NFTs last May. At that time, the whole sector developed due to increasing interest.

eBay entered the NFT industry at a time when the NFT trend was declining. Data from Google Trends shows that the search volume for NFT terms has experienced a drastic decline. This indicates that interest in this sector is waning.

However, it is also necessary to observe whether this eBay NFT collection will generate new interest among the NFT community or not.
