Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, announced a forthcoming NFT market to launch this coming June. NFTs or non-fungible tokens have boomed in recent months.

Furthermore, Binance NFT will share the same account system as Binance.com, allowing users to access the marketplace alongside our other ecosystem offerings.”

Binance NFT is expected to debut with two main venues: a “Premium Event” category for the most sought-after collaborations and a “Trading Market” that allows everyday users to easily create NFTs at a minimal cost.

“Our aim is to provide the largest NFT trading platform in the world with the best minting, buying and exchanging experience, by leveraging the fastest and cheapest solutions powered by Binance blockchain infrastructure and community,” said Helen Hai, Head of Binance NFT.

Users may also deposit their NFTs to the “Trading Market” and choose to list them for sale or for auction. Binance said it will charge a 1% processing fee and creators or depositors receive a 1% royalty payment for all subsequent trades.
