Phantom acquires NFT data platform SimpleHash to enhance wallet features

Crypto wallet provider Phantom has announced the acquisition of SimpleHash, a non-fungible token data platform that supports over 80 blockchains. Phantom did not disclose the deal’s value, but stated that the acquisition aligns with its goal of making cryptocurrency more accessible. SimpleHash contributes to this mission by providing a token data platform that tracks real-time price movements, NFT metadata, and marketplace activity. “By bringing on SimpleHash, we’re ensuring that Phantom users have the most accurate and comprehensive token data,” Phantom chief executive officer Brandon Millman said. According to Millman, SimpleHash will enhance the multi-chain wallet’s usability, improving the experience for Phantom users. Following the acquisition, the SimpleHash team will join Phantom, and the platform’s current services will be phased out. SimpleHash is Phantom’s third acquisition in the past year.
