Facebook Joins Meta’s Instagram in Supporting NFTs

Social media powerhouse Meta said Monday that it’s now allowing users to post their NFTs on Facebook.

What started as an Instagram-oriented non-fungible token (NFT) integration in May is now available on both Meta-owned platforms. According to Meta’s updated May 10 post, users can now connect their crypto wallets to either app, and post their digital assets across both social media platforms.

The latest integration will likely expose vast new audiences to crypto collectibles, as Facebook has billions of users worldwide. Whether and how parent company Meta monetizes those eyeballs remains to be seen.

Meta supports NFTs from Ethereum, the layer-2 Polygon and Flow, a chain best known for NBA Top Shot. Flow’s native token FLOW rallied on the news of the Facebook integration.
