Social Media App Parler Plans to Foray Into NFTs

News 18  

Social media platform Parler said on Monday it will expand its business into non-fungible tokens, in a move that underpins the rapid growth of the digital asset in recent months. Last week, former US first lady Melania Trump launched an NFT and blockchain technology venture, which was spearheaded by Parler. “Parler will continue building its digital offering with an NFT pipeline that builds communities and fosters creativity while furthering its commitment to free speech and security,” the company said in a statement on Monday. Parler, however, went dark for about a month after being cut off by major technology platforms Apple, Google parent Alphabet and Amazon that accused the app of failing to police violent content related to the deadly January 6 attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters.
