미국 완구 제조회사 펀코(Funko)(NASDAQ: FNKO)가 1일 NFT(대체불가토큰) 시장 진출 계획을 발표했습니다. 

펀코는 NFT 시장 진출을 위해 토큰웨이브(TokenWave)의 지분 과반수를 인수했으며, NFT 거래 플랫폼 왁스(WAX,  Worldwide Asset eXchange)와도 협력한다고 밝혔습니다.

펀코의 첫 NFT는 빠르면 오는 6월 왁스 거래소에서 거래될 예정으로 매주마다 왁스 거래소에 신규 NFT가 추가되며, 왁스의 NFT 특허 기술인 viRL이 펀코의 NFT에 적용됩니다. 

펀코 최고경영자 브라이언 마리오티(Brian Mariotti) 대표는 펀코가 지난 20여년 동안 피규어같은 엄선된 수집품들로 시장을 선점한 것을 넘어, 올해부터는 블록체인 기술과 NFT라는 최신 디지털 기술을 도입함으로써 수집가들에게 수집 그 이상의 성취감을 선사할 것을 약속했습니다.
