• Non-fungible token exchange OpenSea on Monday has acquired NFT marketplace aggregator Gem for an undisclosed price, according to a blog post.
• Gem allows its users buy NFTs across multiple marketplaces all in one transaction. It also offers analytical tools and rarity rankings.
• OpenSea said that it will integrate "the best of Gem's features."
• “As the NFT community grows, we’ve recognized a need to better serve more experienced, ‘pro users,’ and offer more flexibility and choice to people at every level of experience,” the blog post read.
• Upon closing of the deal, Gem will continue to operate as a stand-alone product and brand, New York City-based OpenSea said.
• In the end of March, OpenSea hinted at supporting Solana (SOL-USD) NFTs on its exchange.
