Where can I buy NFTs?
You can get your first NFT at various NFT marketplaces. Depending on the blockchain network, you’ll need a compatible wallet and the supported cryptocurrencies for the purchase. For example, NFT prices on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) are almost always in BNB or BUSD, while NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain typically use ether (ETH).
You can buy the cryptocurrencies needed on the Binance exchange and transfer them to a wallet that can be connected to the NFT Marketplace.
If you’re purchasing NFTs on the
Binance NFT Marketplace, you can simply move your funds to the Funding Wallet. Select the desired NFT and click [Buy Now] or [Make Offer]. Check out our
NFT Marketplace guide for more details.
If you’re looking to buy NFTs on other marketplaces, browser extension wallets like Binance Chain Wallet and MetaMask are good options. After transferring your funds from Binance to your wallet, connect it to the NFT marketplace to get started. Don’t forget to check the URL you are visiting to ensure that you’re on the official website. If you connect your wallet to fake or suspicious websites, your funds might be stolen.
Closing thoughts
It’s no doubt that NFTs are growing in popularity and continuously creating new record-high sales. While most NFTs are simply collectible artworks, we have an increasing number of NFTs created with a variety of
use cases. As NFTs mature, we can expect to see more utilities and adoptions than simply digital collectibles and possibly even higher sales.
