Cryptocurrency wallet will be available on Facebook

Meta Corporation has announced that users will be able to add Ethereum and Polygon NFT wallets to their Facebook pages. Currently, the new feature has just begun to be tested, so it is available to a limited number of people.

According to Meta product manager Navdeep Senk on Twitter, users will be able to add their NFT wallets to their profile using the new «digital collectibles» tab. Also, everyone will be able to post non-fungible tokens in their posts so that they can be seen by as many users as possible. However, it is currently unknown when exactly this feature will be available to all users and whether it will be launched simultaneously with the addition of NFT to Instagram (it was announced in early May).

«Facebook will support NFT, and the communities on the platform are becoming more like Discord — Meta definitely wants to become the home for all web3 technologies,» media consultant Martin Bryant expressed his opinion on the innovations. Meta is actually planning to «capture» the virtual space — the company has already calculated that a ticket to the virtual industry will lead to significant losses over the next five years (however, the management is ready to make such sacrifices). So a few days ago, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of a cryptocurrency wallet for the metaverse — Meta Pay, which will allow you to securely manage your payments in metaverse. Meta Pay will be conveniently used to pay for purchases in the online store of digital clothing for avatars, which Meta announced last week.
