OpenSea Pro through Gem v2 will help digital art collectors discover the best deals on over 170 marketplaces.
The Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) industry has grown into a valued $2.1 billion crypto sector, with OpenSea playing a crucial role in global adoption. Founded in 2017, OpenSea has facilitated over $20 billion in NFT volume from over 2 million collections.
