Neon, a company specializing in the sale of NFT, has just announced the installation of the very first NFT vending machine. Located in the heart of Wall Street, the device will accept payments in US dollars by credit and debit card. The objective is simple: to democratize and facilitate the purchase of NFT with this distributor for those who do not own cryptocurrencies.
NFTs, non-fungible tokens, have exploded in recent months. It’s simple, the NFT market today weighs 22 billion dollars. We owe this excellent health to the interest of many brands and companies that have decided to invest in this new market, such as Adidas, Carrefour or Nike, which has just bought a brand of virtual sneakers sold in the form of NFTs. .
However, the American company Neon, which specializes in the sale and management of NFTs, has just made a major announcement. The company launches the very first NFT vending machine in New York. This project came to fruition after a down payment of $3 million. According to the statements of the company, the device will be installed in the Financial District of New York, very close to Wall Street. The machine will accept credit and debit cards in US dollars.

This is also the main interest of this distributor, which allows you to acquire NFTs without the need to have cryptocurrencies. When a user places an order, he gets a box containing a unique code for the chosen NFT, easily exchangeable on the Neon platform. “Buying and selling NFTs doesn’t have to be a mystery, and you shouldn’t be required to hold Ethereum, write a smart contract, pay fees, or bridge blockchains to participate”, assures John Birnholtz, co-founder of Neon.
The company wanted to launch this vending machine based on the following observation: only 2% of Americans have a digital wallet, while 80% of them have a credit or debit card. “We make selling digital art even easier than selling physical art,” he promises. And you, what is your position regarding the launch of this first NFT vending machine? Tell us in the comments.
