As NFTs are all the rage these days, Facebook chief executive officer (CEO) Mark Zuckerberg is planning to let Instagram users mint non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the social media platform.
As per The Verge, Zuckerberg made the announcement at the session at South By Southwest, but did not provide a specific date for when NFTs might drop on Instagram.
For the unversed, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a digital certificate of ownership of a piece of digital asset that can be bought and sold.
