Snap’s new feature would allow users to create NFTs off-platform and showcase them on Snapchat as augmented reality filters, which the platform’s been known for since 2015. But it’s not happening yet, as Snap plans to test the feature with a few content creators beginning in late August, according to the Financial Times.announced a marketplace for NFT avatars on July 7, Facebook launched NFT integrations on June 30, and Instagram and Spotify did similarly in May., which totaled just over $1 billion in June, down from $12 billion in January.
