eBay has acquired NFT marketplace Known Origin as part of its tech-led transformation.

Founded in 2018 in Manchester, Known Origin enables artists and collectors to create, buy and resell NFTs via blockchain-support transactions.

eBay said the move will  empower a new wave of NFT creators, sellers and buyers.

eBay has made significant upgrades to its technology, performance and customer experience recently and began allowing the buying and selling of NFTs in May 2021.
