Samsung’s Latest Smart TV Models Will Come With NFT Support
In its own way, Samsung has validated the crypto space by announcing new features that will be included in its upcoming lineup of smart televisions.
The South Korean tech behemoth has announced a new “NFT Aggregation Platform” that will debut alongside its latest Smart TV models at CES 2022.
People will be able to browse NFTs for sale and even purchase them through the TV using this feature. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital collectibles based on movies, games, or artworks that are transferred to and locked on a blockchain network.
According to the company, the NFT Aggregation Platform will fetch NFTs from various marketplaces and display them on Samsung smart TVs. Users will be able to preview these NFTs as well as read about the pieces’ creator and the story behind them.
People who already own NFTs will be able to display their investments on Samsung TVs.
“In 2022, Samsung will launch the world’s first TV screen-based NFT explorer and marketplace aggregator, a game-changing platform that will allow you to browse, purchase, and display your favorite art—all in one place.” “The platform is also ideal for NFT creators who want to share their work with the rest of the world,” Samsung reportedly stated in a statement.
The feature will be available on Samsung’s MicroLed, Neo QLED, and The Frame smart TV models.
The announcement came ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022, which will be held in Las Vegas beginning Wednesday, January 5th, in the United States. However, due to the spread of Omicron, several tech giants such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Lenovo will not be physically present at the CES 2022.
While Samsung has announced the inclusion of NFT-friendly settings in its products, Twitter is said to be working on a “Collectible” tab that will allow users to display their NFT collections and holdings on the microblogging platform.
According to market tracker DappRadar, NFT sales volume increased by more than eightfold in the third quarter of 2021 to $10.7 billion.
Many have been perplexed by the surge in sales and high prices for NFTs, but the multi-fold growth shows little or no depreciation.
