Move over Twitter because Instagram is launching itself into the NFT world

The social media site will allow non-fungible tokens to be displayed on the profiles of creators and collectors.

Instagram is currently testing the new feature, with “similar functionality” soon to follow on Facebook.

The platform’s head Adam Mosseri revealed details in a video posted to social media.

He says that NFTs will be available to a small group of users in the United States, and can be displayed on their feed, stories and in messages.

Details of the NFT will be listed in the same way as a tagged profiles and products, labelled “digital collectibles”, detailing the name of the creator and owner.

Meta has told reporters that the NFTs are unique due to a visual “shimmer” in the product images.

Multiple blockchains will be supported including Ethereum and Polygon, with the Flow and Solana to follow.

Users will need to link their Instagram to a third-party digital wallet, either Rainbow, MetaMask or Trust Wallet.

The feature was originally scheduled to launch on Instagram in March but has been delayed.

Apple is developing an AI-powered wearable device, aiming for a launch of 20 million units in the growing AI market.

Apple is reportedly developing an AI-powered wearable device equipped with cameras and speakers, signalling its next major move into artificial intelligence-driven hardware.

While still in early development, the company is said to be planning a launch scale of up to 20 million units.

This move places Apple squarely into the fast-growing AI wearable market, where tech giants are racing to define what hands-free, AI-first devices will look like. Rather than rushing to market, Apple appears to be taking a measured approach by embedding AI capabilities into its existing ecosystem.

Reports suggest Apple is also experimenting with camera-equipped AirPods and smart glasses, with a potential launch timeline around 2027. If successful, these devices could reshape how users interact with AI in everyday life.
