New NFT marketplace allows for Solana tokens to be minted, held, authenticated and traded on a US-regulated platform
West Realm Shires Services Inc, a leading US-regulated cryptocurrency exchange, announced the launch of FTX NFTs. The Marketplace will allow FTX US users to mint NFTs, transfer existing NFTs to the Marketplace and provide project creators with full control over the NFT’s life cycle. The platform will initially support NFTs on the Solana blockchain, and plans to roll out support for Ethereum NFTs in the near future.
The Marketplace provides FTX US users with a regulated exchange to mint, hold, authenticate and trade NFTs and will have among the lowest fees of existing NFT marketplaces. The FTX NFT platform and its services will be available exclusively to FTX US customers. Both US and non-US residents from many jurisdictions can sign up for an FTX US account.

Brett Harrison, President of FTX US, commented on the news, “We decided to create an NFT marketplace on FTX US after becoming immersed ourselves in the NFT ecosystem. In learning about so many of these projects, we’ve come to a comprehensive understanding of the needs of creators and collectors in the space. With the launch of this platform, we hope to provide both US and global users with a regulated marketplace that is intuitive and responsive to their needs.”
FTX US will support auctions for NFTs with a bidding system, in addition to listing NFTs with a fixed purchase price. The Company will work directly with Solana project creators to ensure authenticity verification of NFTs transferred onto the Marketplace from the Solana ecosystem. All Solana NFTs that conform to the Metaplex standard will be supported on the FTX US platform. The Company plans to support Ethereum NFTs in the near future.

Users of the Marketplace can fund their accounts for purchasing and bidding on NFTs with crypto, ACH bank transfers, wire transfers or credit cards. Newly minted NFTs on the Marketplace can be listed in either USD, SOL or ETH.
“The NFT ecosystem has started to infiltrate pop culture, but has been lacking a platform that provides easy access and exposure to the mainstream audience,” continued Harrison. “With the FTX NFT Platform, we have the ability to provide simpler, safer and easier tools to remove the barriers to entry for that audience to enter the NFT space.”
