Haven’t got a crypto wallet yet?
Well, you have done your research, looked at some projects, and decided that you want to purchase some NFT assets. You might be thinking of using them for some crypto games or even just for a Twitter profile picture. The first thing that you should look for is NFT projects. If you are mainly looking to make profits, minting an NFT directly from the collections’ site would be cheaper than buying from NFT marketplaces. However, if you are looking to own an NFT from a collection that has finished its minting period and is sold out, your only option is to look at NFT marketplaces.
There are many marketplaces that sell all kinds of NFT assets. You can think of them as shopping sites that don’t require any shipping. You simply connect your wallet to an NFT marketplace, make your transaction with your cryptocurrency in your wallet, and the NFT you have purchased will be delivered to your wallet or the profile section of the marketplace.
In order to sell your NFT assets, you can either list them at a buy-now price or have an auction set up with a minimum bid amount in most NFT marketplaces. Nevertheless, there are fees involved, such as the listing fees and the marketplace’s cut from the purchases, which will put you at a loss if you haven’t been planning ahead. You should be evaluating if it’s even worth it to try to sell an NFT if its chances of selling in the first place are very low.
NFT marketplaces are opening up left and right all over the crypto world. You can easily find the most well-known ones like OpenSea, Rarible, and Binance. When choosing what marketplace to use, you should choose the ones that fit your needs.
