Nut Graph: OpenSea’s acquisition of Rally underscores the gap in accessible mobile crypto platforms, enhancing its services with an expansive reach across 19 blockchains.
Expansion through Acquisition
OpenSea’s acquisition aims to integrate Rally’s wallet tech to power its token trading features. Chris Maddern’s appointment as CTO further strengthens OpenSea’s mobile strategy. This shift connects NFTs, tokens, and DeFi into one platform.
OpenSea’s main priority is tackling crypto’s gap in high-quality, accessible mobile products. The next era will unify NFTs, tokens, and DeFi in one mobile platform,” said Chris Maddern, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), OpenSea.
Christine Hall, another Rally founder, joins OpenSea leadership, allowing further technological unification.
