Summary:<\/p>\n
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, who replaced Jeff Bezos in mid-2021, believes cryptocurrencies will become more significant over time. Mr. Jassy shared his analysis of the crypto industry in an interview<\/a> on CNBC’s Squawk Box. He also clarified that Amazon would not be integrating crypto payments on the platform soon.<\/p>\n In addition, Amazon’s CEO clarified in the CNBC Squawk Box interview that he did not own any Bitcoin<\/a> nor Non-Fungible tokens. He said:<\/p>\n I don\u2019t have bitcoin myself..<\/p>\n We\u2019re not probably close to adding crypto as a payment mechanism in our retail business, but I do believe over time that you\u2019ll see crypto become bigger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n However, Mr. Jassy was keen to add that Amazon could sell NFTs<\/a> in the near future. He stated that he expected NFTs to continue growing at a significant rate, and the company could sell them down the road.\u00a0NFTs could be ideal for the online retailing giant as it also sells digital music and books.<\/p>\n Furthermore, NFT sales would be in a similar trajectory to Amazon’s competitor, eBay<\/a>, which opened the doors<\/a> to NFT sales on the platform back in May 2021.<\/p>\nAmazon Could Sell NFTs in the Future<\/h2>\n
