Binance and NFTs. On December 12, the marketplace launched the staking of BAYC and MAYC NFT collections, part of the ApeCoin ecosystem (APE), with daily rewards. On March 1, the exchange launched the service Bicasso for the creation of NFTs using AI, after which Korean designer Cho Young-hwi said that his Chatcasso design, which won first place at the hackathon, organized by Binance itself, was plagiarized.

In May, it became known that the marketplace will add support for NFTs on the basis of the Ordinals protocol on the Bitcoin network. Users will be able to trade these assets directly through their exchange accounts.
