Initially, the KuCoin NFT ETF Trading Zone will first list five NFT ETFs including hiPUNKS, hiBAYC, hiSAND33, hiKODA, and hiENS4 as underlying assets.

For the uninitiated, hiBAYC, a ERC-20 token represents 1/1,000,000 ownership of the target BAYC in the BAYC Meta-Swap of the Fracton Protocol. The KuCoin NFT ETF will back hiBAYC token trading in the beginning to let users own ‘proportionally’ shared ownership of blue-chip NFTs.

KuCoin NFT ETF Trading Zone will speed up the creation of a mature NFT market by lowering the investment threshold of top NFTs. Additionally, it also provides an easier choice of investing in high-potential NFTs through direct purchases with USDT, instead of ETH.

Johnny Lyu, the CEO of KuCoin, commented “As a trading platform that is maintaining its rate of penetration in the NFT sector, KuCoin will continue to offer user-friendly products for investors, allowing them to easily participate in NFT investments.”

He said that KuCoin is very excited to be the first centralized crypto exchange to support NFT ETFs to help users to easily invest in and trade top NFTs directly with USDT. KuCoin is expected to bring in more NFT-related products for users in future.
