Popular gaming giant, GameStop (NYSE:GME), has indicated an interest in venturing into the NFT sphere through its GameStop NFT marketplace, which would allow its users to browse and buy gaming NFTs which would then be traded on popular marketplace platforms. In addition, the growing popularity of non-fungible tokens has led many popular gaming companies to look for means towards integrating non-fungible tokens as key in-game items. This, in turn, has given rise to the concept of play-to-earn games, a kind of gaming that permits users to win and trade NFTs in-game.

Earlier this year, a rumor had emerged that the release date for the NFT marketplace was set for July 14; however, it never came to fruition.

This is not uncommon as most NFTs run on the Ethereum blockchain.
