Instagram’s parent company, Meta,\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0Wednesday that it will begin testing NFTs on Instagram Stories using its augmented reality platform Spark AR.<\/p>\n

CEO Mark Zuckerberg\u00a0said<\/a> of the news, \u201cWe’re expanding our test so more creators around the world can display their NFTs on Instagram.\u201d The company also stated<\/a> in an announcement, \u201cCreators and collectors will be able to share their digital collectibles across Facebook and Instagram after we begin rolling out the feature on Facebook with select US creators at a later date.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zuckerberg also confirmed<\/a> that Facebook is set to support NFTs in the future:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ll bring this feature to Facebook soon too — starting with a small group of US creators — so people can cross-post on Instagram and Facebook. We\u2019ll also test NFTs in Instagram Stories with SparkAR soon.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In May, Meta released digital collectibles described by the company<\/a> as \u201ca brand-new way for consumers and creators to share NFTs on Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Meta also announced it would join with other tech companies to create a Metaverse standards body. The group intends to build the next version of the web and develop a shared ethos for Web3 and the Metaverse. Some of the companies who joined the initiative include Adobe, Epic Games, Microsoft, Nvidia and Qualcomm; Apple was noticeably missing from the pack.<\/p>\n

Meta isn\u2019t the only company looking to integrate NFTs. It followed social media competitor Twitter, which\u00a0brought NFTs to its platform<\/a> back in January. Twitter\u2019s NFT support allowed users to link Ethereum-based wallets to their accounts and display their NFT art as profile pictures. eBay recently acquired Ethereum-based NFT marketplace<\/a> KnownOrigin, expanding its foray into Web3. Even existing DeFi companies like Uniswap are beginning to make moves into the NFT and metaverse markets with their recent acquisition of the NFT aggregator Genie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
