Spotify Tests NFTs as Added Customer Experience Spotify streaming service is testing a feature that will let artists promote their NFTs. The test is currently running for ‘select’ users of Spotify’s Android app in the US, who will be able to preview NFTs on the artists’ profile pages. They will then be able to tap through to view and buy them from external marketplaces.
“We routinely conduct a number of tests in an effort to improve artist and fan experiences,” a Spotify spokesperson said. The data will help it decide whether to roll this out as a full feature for all artists, but it will also clearly inform whether Spotify decides to do anything more ambitious (and on-platform) with NFTs in the future.
