Resurrecting Coinbase NFT
Coinbase NFT was supposed to bring NFTs to the mainstream. With a $600M budget and over 2M waitlist applications, it seemed destined to become the marketplace. Instead, it's a ghost town with less volume all time than its new competitor GameStop did in the first 24 hours of its release. So why did it fail?
In this week's One Big Idea we explore the shortcomings of Coinbase NFT and how it can find it's way back.
