- Trading platform eBay has posted several job postings focused on strengthening its newly acquired NFT trading platform, KnownOrigin.
- These deals would not only be strengthening the recently made acquisition of the NFT platform, but are also related to the company’s trademark filings for various NFT and metaverse services.
Although the vast majority identify cryptocurrencies as investment assets, the truth is that, at least Bitcoin, was born as a payment method that would allow its users to obtain financial freedom without intermediaries and outside the traditional financial system and although many do not see In cryptocurrencies such as BTC or ETH, a viable means of paying for services, due to their high volatility, more and more companies and even governments have been accepting them to pay for products and services.
Among the platforms that have adopted, not only cryptocurrencies as a payment system, they have also opened up to other crypto derivatives, such as NFTs, is eBay, who seems to be planning to continue expanding its presence in the crypto ecosystem and Web3.0

Two years ago Jamie Lannone, CEO of eBay, stated that the company was looking at cryptocurrencies as payment options and how to integrate Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) into its platform.
Although the payment with cryptocurrencies has not yet reached the platform in its own way, but by third parties such as BitPayNFTs have been very well accepted by the platform since in May of last year it launched its first NFT collection together with Sports Illustrated and in June of the same year it decided to go further by acquiring the NFT trading platform, KnownOrigin and it is just this platform that is looking to develop.
In accordance with bitcoinnews the platform has published several vacancies focused on strengthening its NFT platform, among which are “crypto-creative lawyer” “crypto advisor“, “community manager” and “marketing campaign executive”
These deals would not only be strengthening the recently made acquisition of the NFT platform, but are also related to the company’s trademark filings for various NFT and metaverse services.
The new acquisitions of human capital make it clear that eBay plans to be more present in the non-fungible token market as well as in Web3.0, and perhaps very soon we will be able to see the arrival of the Wallet that was presented as a prototype in the late February of last year and perhaps, to the joy of several crypto users, being able to accept cryptocurrencies as a payment method directly
