The non-fungible token (NFT) market is like a rollercoaster ride, with news that’s all over the place. Sales volume has dipped, but buyers are on the rise. MintID and Mutant Ape Yacht Club are experiencing a surge in growth, while CryptoUndeads and Pudgy Penguins are facing drops in volume. Let’s dig deeper into the latest NFT news and explore some exciting developments:

🎟️ Coinbase’s Marketplace Introduces AI-generated NFTs

Creating NFTs can be complex and costly, especially for average users. That’s why Coinbase’s NFT marketplace has unveiled a groundbreaking feature called Instamint. Powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Instamint allows users of all backgrounds to generate their own NFTs effortlessly.

• VanEck Partners with NFT Paris, Pudgy Penguins Surge, and Anichess Launches: A Roundup of the Latest NFT News

To create an on-chain collection, users simply need to upload a photo, name their creation, describe it, and set the gas price in ETH. The best part? It’s optional to set the gas price, which means you can get started for as little as $0.01! Coinbase’s NFT marketplace aims to simplify the NFT creation process and empower aspiring artists.

😮🤖 Watch the Instamint feature in action on Twitter!

Coinbase launched its NFT marketplace in beta in June 2023. It allows users to trade NFTs using their own non-custodial wallets, such as MetaMask, without relying on Coinbase Wallet. The platform aims to further decentralize its marketplace by transitioning features from Coinbase tech to decentralized solutions. Additionally, it plans to offer support for NFTs on blockchains other than Ethereum.
