News Synopsis

Spotify

has most likely begun experimenting with

Non-Fungible Token (NFT)

galleries on artist pages. According to The Verge, the music streaming platform has begun testing NFT previews for artists such as Steve Aoki and The Wombats for some Android users in the United States.

A Spotify spokeswoman told Music Ally, "Spotify is testing whether it can help a limited group of artists advertise their existing third-party NFT offers through their artist profiles. We do a variety of tests on a regular basis in order to improve the artist and fan experience. Some of these assessments pave the way for a more extensive encounter, while others are only useful learning tools."

According to the report, Spotify would also allow listeners to "See More," which will take them to the NFT's website on OpenSea, where they may purchase it. However, it appears that Spotify does not accept NFTs that are movies or GIFs.

The app simply displays a static image of the NFT, not the entire movie. It also lacks sound, which is unusual for a music streaming platform. By visiting the NFT's page on OpenSea, users can just listen to it or view if it's a video or GIF.
