Now buyers and users of OpenSea, one of the world’s leading marketplaces for non-fungible tokens, can pay using a credit card, debit card or Apple Pay without the need for any cryptocurrency.

The move comes through OpenSea’s partnership with MoonPay, the latter offering and building payment infrastructure in the crypto space, which announced the news on Friday morning.

MoonPay is also the company that has worked with many celebrities to facilitate the purchase of Bored Ape NFT.

It is likely that the move is aimed at attracting more major buyers, similar to the “NBA Top Shot” strategy that has left significant momentum behind it.

OpenSea and NFT sales:

Last month, OpenSea announced that it generated more than $5 billion in total trading volume in January between NFT sales of Ethereum and Polygon.

This broke OpenSea’s previous record, which was set in August of 2021.

Just this week, NFT Market also confirmed that it will begin listing NFT Solana this month.

It’s not yet clear when exactly OpenSea will start listing NFT this April, but OpenSea tweeted a short teaser video describing the final step as the best move in Web 3.0.

NFT volume in Solana is up more than 80% on March 30, as has SOL itself, capping a nearly 24% increase in prices in the past seven days.
