Background

In order to realize Mercari Group's mission of "circulate all forms of value to unleash the potential in all people," Mercari has continued to grow its marketplace app, which now boasts approximately 23 million monthly active users as well as a cumulative total of over 4.0 billion listings^[3]. In addition to the items and money that circulate on Mercari, the company has expanded the circulation of value by increasing payment locations, creating new credit through Merpay, the Group's payment and credit business, and by making it possible to trade cryptoassets through Mercoin.

In order to further expand the circulation of value, the company has launched Mercari NFT, a marketplace for buying and selling NFTs. Users will now be able to seamlessly purchase NFTs using their Mercari sales balance without having to apply to create a cryptoasset wallet or open a new account. In addition, users will also be able to easily list the NFTs they purchase on Mercari NFT.

From day one of the service launch, Mercari users will be able to buy and sell NFTs from popular projects on OpenSea, a major NFT marketplace. Going forward, Mercari plans to issue and sell NFT contents together with businesses and IP holders in Japan and overseas in a variety of categories including art, trading cards, and entertainment to further expand Mercari NFT as a digital marketplace.
