Magic Eden Acquires Slingshot, Steps Away From NFT Focus

Non-fungible token ( NFT ) marketplace Magic Eden says it has acquired crypto trading app Slingshot . According to the press release shared with Cryptonews , this acquisition will enable Magic Eden to move away from being an NFT and digital asset platform. Instead, it plans to become “the most extensive and all-encompassing trading platform in crypto.” The announcement notes that Slingshot offers simple methods to buy crypto and do cross-chain trading with a “no bridging solution.” The latter eliminates the need to switch between various blockchains. We just acquired @SlingshotCrypto ! 8M+ tokens. Every chain (Bitcoin soon). No bridges. No CEXs. This is another major step towards our vision of providing the best platform to trade all assets, on all chains.

The goal here is to offer an expansive trading experience, the team says. Jack Lu, CEO and Co-Founder of Magic Eden, commented that the acquisition is “a major step forward in advancing the Magic Eden vision, which is to provide users worldwide with a seamless and safe way to buy and sell crypto and digital assets across all chains.” You might also like Mocaverse and Magic Eden Introduce New NFT Launchpad MagicMoca Runes Coming Soon Founded in 2020, Slingshot is a mobile-first crypto trading app for casual and advanced traders, backed by Electric Capital , Ribbit Capital , and Framework Ventures .

In August 2024, it announced the ME token as its official ecosystem token. The team integrated the token into Magic Eden’s wallet, enabling users to manage and trade digital assets across multiple blockchain networks. They also shared that the move is a part of a broader strategy to support a wide range of digital assets and allow users to engage with different blockchains. Additionally, in September, Magic Eden said it plans to launch a separate domain exclusively for its US users and offer US-based services through a dedicated domain.
