The Okcoin NFT offers uncapped royalties

The Okcoin NFT marketplace is set to see users not only benefit from zero fees NFTs trading but will also offer uncapped royalties.

Okcoin’s NFT marketplace is thus the first such offering from a regulated digital assets platform to provide creators a free rein on just how much royalty secondary buyers can part with.

And it’s not just the elbow room they are getting. The platform’s users will be able to access the NFTs on multiple blockchains, offering them a chance to tap into the benefits of a “free market,” CEO Fang noted.

We’re launching a free market for NFTs where prices and profits will be determined by supply and demand, more so than anywhere else.”

While creators of non-NFT digital art benefit from royalties of between 3-6%, NFT platforms offer royalty rates that can fall anywhere from 0 to 10%. Okcoin NFT promises to see creators benefit more from their work, especially as Web3 catches on.

Fang added:

 Web3 is about restoring economic power to the people, and at Okcoin, we’re doing our part by granting as much sovereignty to individuals as possible when it comes to their money, and now, their art.”
