ANA Group To Launch NFT Business
The group behind Japan's All Nippon Airways, ANA Group, has created a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) business. The owner of the largest airline in Japan launched the venture on May 30th through one of its subsidiaries, ANA NEO. A Non-Fungible Token is a unique digital identifier that is recorded on a blockchain, and used to certify authenticity and ownership. Until now, the technology has been mainly used in the fields of art and music.
ANA NEO has also launched an NFT marketplace, named ANA GranWhale NFT MarketPlace, which it will use to begin sales of NFT products, as well as promote its virtual travel platform, ANA GranWhale. The development of ANA GranWhale began in August 2022, and today the platform makes use of virtual reality technology to recreate destinations around the world in the metaverse. The marketplace launched on May 30th with a total of 267 items for sale, including the first NFTs of the digital works of aviation photographer, Luke Ozawa. The price of each of Ozawa's NFTs is ¥100,000 ($717).
