Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has confirmed that Instagram will soon support NFTs. As TechCrunch reports, Zuckerberg revealed the news in a session at the SXSW (South by Southwest) conference earlier this week.
“We are working on bringing NFTs to Instagram in the near term. I’m not ready to announce exactly what that’s going to be today, but, over the next several months, the ability to bring some of your NFTs in, and hopefully over time be able to mint things within that environment,” Zuckerberg told Shark Tank’s Daymond John.
While Instagram is still preparing to roll out its NFT integration, Twitter recently started letting users set hexagonal NFT profile pictures on its iOS app. We will have to wait to see if the Meta-owned social media platform will support the option to use your NFTs as profile pictures in the future.
