Recent trademark applications indicate the company is looking to establish its own NFTs and cryptocurrency. The retail giant filed for several trademarks recently, suggesting plans to start selling virtual goods. There’s also mention of offering customers a digital currency, as well as the opportunity to buy and sell NFTs.
“Walmart is continuously exploring how emerging technologies may shape future shopping experiences,” Walmart spokesperson Carrie McKnight told The Verge. “We don’t have anything further to share today, but it’s worth noting we routinely file trademark applications as part of the innovation process.”
