Instagram is increasing support for NFTs in over 100 countries



The NFT market fell off a cliff within a few months, but that won’t stop Instagram from doubling down on digital collectibles as the app is now expanding its NFT features to more than 100 countries across Africa, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East, along with the Americas.

Instagram users can now include NFTS in their feed and messages as well as AR Stickers in stories. NFT creators and collectors are automatically tagged for attribution, and you cannot really buy or sell an NFT on Instagram just yet, but the company has slowly hinted that they are working on a marketplace for users to buy and sell very soon.

As of today, Instagram will now support third-party wallets from Coinbase and Dapper, and in addition to Rainbow, MetaMask, and Trust Wallet on top of Ethereum and Polygon blockchains the company will also support Flow. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced this new expansion with a new Instagram post sharing photos of a Little League baseball card he had made himself as a kid. A young Zuckerberg gifted it to his favorite camp counselor, Ali Tarantino who is now planning to sell these signed cards and an associated NFT.
