The NFT Marketplace will also allow individuals to connect their own digital asset wallets to the platform, including the recently launched GameStop wallet. GameStop said it plans to expand the marketplace functionality to encompass additional categories such as Web3 gaming, more creators and other "Ethereum environments."
