YouTube is considering offering non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as a way “to help creators capitalize on emerging technologies including things like NFTs," CEO Susan Wojcicki wrote in an open letter about the video streaming platform's 2022 priorities.
- Wojcicki said her team is looking ahead to the future and has been following everything happening in Web 3 “as a source of inspiration to continue innovating on YouTube.”
- “The past year in the world of crypto, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and even decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) has highlighted a previously unimaginable opportunity to grow the connection between creators and their fans,” Wojcicki wrote.
- On Thursday, social media platform Twitter released an official verification mechanism for NFT profile pictures. This involves users linking their Ethereum wallet to Twitter and using an NFT as a profile picture.
