Ripple is a leading provider of enterprise-level solutions for blockchain and crypto, today it announced a 250 million fund that will give creators the financial, creative and technical assistance needed to develop and create top-quality non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as well as other tokenization initiatives on the XRP Ledger.
The growing interest in NFTs across the globe has led to various new business opportunities and revenue streams and strengthened the relationship between mainstream media and the people, communities and issues they care about. But when it comes to developing modern NFTs, most creators face obstacles to entry, including the fear that their NFTs will not sell, as well as an inability to comprehend in navigating NFT concepts. Developers are typically burdened by high transaction costs and poor user experience on the marketplace or platforms.
Although digital artwork and other collectables have rapidly attracted the public’s attention and growing popularity, the potential of NFTs extends far beyond these applications. By providing technical and creative assistance to various creators, markets, and artists and brands, Ripple’s Creator Fund seeks to enable tokenization in long-tail ways, for instance, interactive experiences or fractional ownership.
Ripple is working with the most innovative NFT marketplaces and a creative agency that recognizes their potential in these unique assets, which is why, as part of its launch, users will be the first to gain access to this fund.
