From digital collectibles to tech giants, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are finding their way into many industries. With its increasing popularity, there has been an inflow of new platforms and marketplaces to easily trade, sell, and buy NFTs.

How to Buy NFTs

An NFT represents the proof of ownership of an asset. Payments for most NFTs require Ethereum or any other crypto blockchain on which they are built. Buying NFTs is easy through the following procedure:

1.     Connect your MetaMask to the NFT marketplace

There are a lot of marketplaces to sell and buy NFTs. You will be able to buy different types of collectibles and art depending on the marketplace you choose.

Many of these websites have secondary marketplaces with different NFTs. Also, the operations of a platform are usually different from the other.

2.     Purchase Ethereum

Many NFT marketplace and platforms accept only ETH tokens as payment because most NFTs are Ethereum-based tokens. You can purchase Ethereum and send it to your MetaMask wallet if you already have an account with a crypto exchange.

If you have not created an account with a cryptocurrency exchange yet, eToro and Coinbase are good options for you to begin with.

3.     Buy your NFT

It is easy to purchase NFT once you have funded your account. You will be required to submit a bid for the NFT you want to buy because most marketplaces are in an auction format.

Furthermore, the operation of some marketplaces is more like an exchange. They use the lowest asks and highest bids for NFTs that have several prints.
