Mark Zuckerberg said that Meta would add NFTs to Instagram, according to Engadget<\/em><\/a> and The Daily Beast<\/em><\/a>. While he didn’t describe exactly what that would look like, he said during a session at South By Southwest<\/a> that “over the next several months, the ability to bring some of your NFTs in, hopefully over time be able to mint things within that environment.”<\/p>\n

There have been rumblings that this was coming. Last year, Instagram lead Adam Mosseri said<\/a> the team was “actively exploring NFTs” but didn’t have any actual announcements. In January, we heard a report<\/a> that teams at Facebook and Instagram were working on NFT integrations. The report mentioned that there was progress on features to let you use an NFT as a profile and mint NFTs on the platform and discussions around creating a marketplace. <\/p>\n
