The Rugby League World Cup (RLWC) 2021 has kicked off, and the tournament will continue for another two weeks. CoinEx, the Exclusive Cryptocurrency Trading Platform Partner of RLWC 2021, announced that it will list CoinEx Rugby Players NFTs on OneSwap NFT marketplace that will soon go live on CoinEx Smart Chain (CSC).

When NFTs meet sports

Since CryptoPunks introduced pixel art into NFTs, all kinds of picture formats and artistic styles, covering anime, mechanics, and minimalism, have entered the NFT market. This, together with the appearance of celebrity NFT holders last year, has sent the prices of NFTs soaring. Later on, big corporations in different sectors soon followed suit and also started to pursue NFT innovations, with a focus on artworks and collectibles. Relying on their unique ownership features in the digital world, NFTs have huge potential in all fields. That said, compared to categories such as GameFi and artworks, the sports industry only offers a few NFTs.

Against such a background, CoinEx Rugby Players NFTs provide a chance for large sports leagues to foray into the NFT market. This new NFT series represents the cross-sector collaboration between NFTs and the mainstream sports community. It is a good practice made by the blockchain space and the sports industry.

As ownership proofs of crypto assets, NFTs will power the growth of the sports memorabilia market, and NFT sports collectibles are expected to reach $92 billion by 2032, according to the research data provided by Market Decipher. Over the past few years, the real-world sports memorabilia market has always been fueled by huge demands, which enabled a significant increase in prices. However, due to geographical limits, physical memorabilia are not readily available to sports fans around the world. CoinEx Rugby Players NFTs, on the other hand, transcend all barriers and allow rugby fans from all over the world to buy NFTs on OneSwap NFT anytime, anywhere.

OneSwap NFT is an NFT marketplace recently launched by CoinEx Smart Chain (CSC). As a bridge between NFT sellers and buyers, the marketplace enables users to mint, buy, and sell crypto artworks and digital collectibles. Covering NFT categories that include charity, arts, entertainment, game, sports, and collectibles, OneSwap NFT makes NFT trading easier through user-friendly webpages and easy operations.

OneSwap NFT, built on CSC, offers negligible gas fees thanks to CSC’s ensured efficiency and low rates. In addition, the marketplace allows users to mint NFTs for free, which minimizes the minting cost.

Unlike most NFT marketplaces that require an exorbitant fee of 2.5%-15% for each NFT transaction, OneSwap NFT only charges a fixed fee of 2%. This holder-friendly rate is lower than the rate charged by most NFT marketplaces.
