How one of the biggest NFT Marketplaces making its own history in the Digital Market space?

OpenSea has raised $300 million in a Series C round of funding, which has made the NFT market worth a whopping $13.3 billion.

According to a blog post, the company says that it plans to use this money to speed up product development and improve customer support as well as safety on the platform. It also plans to “significantly invest in the wider NFT and Web3 ecosystem.”

Devin Finzer, the co-founder and CEO of OpenSea, says that the year 2021 was a big change for non-fungible tokens. Users gained “more independence and ownership over digital products,” he says. This is what happened.

It’s his goal for his group to become the “world’s friendliest and most trustworthy NFT marketplace with the best selection.”

Finzer took advantage of the resignation of Nate Chastain as head of product, which came about because of an insider trading scandal. Shiva Rajaraman was hired as vice president of product. He has worked at Meta, YouTube, Spotify, WeWork, and a lot of other places in the past, as well.

Finzer also said that by the end of the year, OpenSea wants to double its customer service and trust and safety teams, which now have more than 60 people. He said that he plans to hire a lot of people in other places, too: “It was a big year for the NFT ecosystem, with OpenSea’s transaction volume expected to grow more than 600x by 2021, the company says. Our company has only been going for a short time, so we still need to add to our team quickly.”

The last 12 months have seen a lot of growth for OpenSea. NFTs, on the other hand, have made a lot of progress in the mainstream, so it will have a lot more competition in the next year.

Coinbase wants to make its own NFT market, as well as big entertainment companies like ViacomCBS.

 

A Game-Changing Year for NFTs

Devin Finzer, co-founder and CEO of OpenSea, has acknowledged that 2021 was a transformative year for the NFT industry. He noted that more users now have increased independence and ownership over their digital assets. Finzer envisions OpenSea as the world’s most user-friendly and trusted NFT marketplace, offering a vast selection of digital collectibles.

Following the resignation of former head of product Nate Chastain due to an insider trading scandal, OpenSea has brought in Shiva Rajaraman as its new vice president of product. Rajaraman, who has previously worked with major tech companies such as Meta, YouTube, Spotify, and WeWork, brings valuable expertise to OpenSea’s leadership team.

 

OpenSea’s Growth Strategy and Expanding Market

To further strengthen its operations, OpenSea plans to double its customer support and trust & safety teams, which currently consist of over 60 members. Finzer has also hinted at aggressive hiring plans across multiple departments as OpenSea continues to scale.

The company’s growth is a reflection of the surging popularity of NFTs, with OpenSea’s transaction volume expected to grow over 600 times by the end of the year. While OpenSea is a frontrunner in the NFT space, competition is heating up. Major corporations such as Coinbase and entertainment giants like ViacomCBS have expressed interest in launching their own NFT platforms.

With the NFT market evolving at a rapid pace, OpenSea is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of digital ownership, proving that NFTs are more than just a trend—they are a revolution in the digital economy.
