The CEO and co-founder of one of the largest social media companies is turning one of his childhood memories into a non-fungible token (NFT).
Here’s the item featuring Mark Zuckerberg, which will be turned into an NFT and how it relates to his company Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META).
What Happened: Meta Platforms introduced NFT profile pictures for Instagram in May for select U.S. users. The company announced Thursday the feature will roll out to more than 100 countries and allow users the chance to feature an NFT from a collection or that they create as their profile picture.
Zuckerberg joined in and shared his little league trading card from 1992 in honor of the increased NFT expansion of Instagram. The card is being turned into an NFT and will be featured in an upcoming auction.
“In honor of expanding digital collectible NFTs to 100 more countries on Instagram and launching new integrations with Coinbase and Dapper, I’m sharing my soon-to-be NFT old little league baseball card, which somebody found and sent to me,” Zuckerberg shared on Instagram. “@mcomiconnect has the backstory on my baseball card.”
