It was only a matter of time until poker and the fast-rising world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) overlapped.
That moment appears to have come thanks to a new partnership between the World Poker Tour and Theta Labs, operators of the Theta Network, which will support the NFTs. Select WPT moments will first go on sale April 18 during the premiere of a four-episode cash game series, as poker becomes the latest industry to dive into the popular new blockchain frontier.
The WPT billed the sale as "the world’s first real-time NFT marketplace" in a Thursday morning presser.
