“We’re incredibly excited about our partnership with Gemini as we see significant overlap between the crypto community and the hobby. This is especially true for new collectors who view collectibles as a key piece of their portfolio,” said Ross Hoffman, CEO of Goldin Auctions. “You’re also seeing this merger of sports and crypto in the NFT world, where innovative players and leagues are doing really interesting things. We see big opportunities in the future, including combining physical memorabilia with digital assets in creative ways.”

Through the integration with Gemini, buyers and consignors on Goldin Auction can accept crypto payments in BTC and ETH.

“We are excited to team up with Goldin Auctions and help them facilitate crypto payments for collectors and sellers on their platform. Accepting crypto will give Goldin’s customers more flexibility and options to purchase and sell memorabilia,” said Tyler Winklevoss, CEO of Gemini.
