Sanjay Popli, co-founder of Cryptomind and owner of Merkle Capital, said many companies are preparing to launch their own NFT marketplaces in Thailand. Akalarp Yimwilai, co-founder and chief executive of Zipmex Thailand, said Zipmex is preparing to launch an NFT platform and is applying for a licence in the first quarter. There are four domestic NFT marketplaces: NFT1, Bitkub NFT, Coral and JNFT. Notable international NFT marketplaces include OpenSea, Axie Marketplace, Larva Labs/CryptoPunks, NBA Top Shot Marketplace and Rarible.
