NFT marketplace Magic Eden inked a partnership with Web3 payment platform MoonPay to add payment alternatives to its platform, according to Fintech Finance.
The new features will allow Magic Eden users to purchase NFTs using their credit cards, Google Pay, and Apple Pay, as reported by Fintech Finance.
Magic Eden COO Zhuoxun Yin explained the purpose of this initiative by stating:
“Our goal is to make NFTs accessible to everyone, enabling individuals to own and control their digital assets.
And now, with our partnership with MoonPay, we’re even more excited to lower the barriers to entry into the exciting world of Web3, democratizing access to these transformative technologies.”
