The Crypto.com NFT marketplace is launching this Friday as an invite-only platform, per the announcement. It’s basically aimed at delivering unique and compelling content. Hence, the exchange partnered with celebrities in sports, athletics, music, and art for the inaugural contents on the soon-to-launch NFT marketplace. 

The partners include Snoop Dogg, Aston Martin Cognizant Formula OneTM, Klarens Malluta with Lionel Richie, Axel Mansoor, Bag Raiders, BossLogic, and many others. The crypto exchange intends to collaborate with more mainstream artists in the coming weeks. 

First F1 Team to Join the NFT Market

The partnership with Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team comes as they are planning to return to F1 racing after 60 years.

We’re excited to be the first Formula 1 team to offer a new way for our fans to own a piece of our history. The collection of NFTs we’re making available capture the very first moments of our return to F1 after more than six decades
