Today, we’re celebrating that moment by launching NYSE First Trade NFTs. https://t.co/jyZjzESP7P
Why are we doing this?

NYSE teamed up with the cryptocurrency and payment platform Crypto.com to mint the tokens.
What's special about them is that NYSE's collectibles are not for purchase. The NFTs are gifted to their corresponding firms.
As the crypto industry continues to proceed, NFTs are becoming more popular too. Non-fungible tokens that run on blockchains and don't have their equivalents serve different purposes.
Many musicians, actors, entrepreneurs, sportsmen, big companies, and more have issued their own collectibles. This month a couple from the US exchanged NFTs instead of traditional wedding rings.
