Rakuten has announced the creation of a new platform named Rakuten NFT, which is the company’s first foray into the NFT space.
Rakuten has been tracking a number of companies that have established NFT markets in the last year. Marketplace platforms specialised to non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles have been developed by companies such as Coinbase, FTX, Crypto.com, and others.

According to Rakuten’s press release, a minting and selling feature will not be accessible until next year. NFTs showing Ultraman animation and Kurogane Hiroshi G1 Gekitoshi, with work illustrated by renowned manga artist Hiroshi Kurogane, were exhibited during the Rakuten NFT launch.
