Spotify, a leading music platform, is reportedly testing the integration of NFT galleries on the profiles of the musicians on its platform. If the testing is successful, the NFTs would add to and enhance the overall user experience.



A company spokesperson confirmed that tests were a part of the “effort to improve artist and fan experiences”. Spotify is conducting a test with a select number of users in the US on the platform’s Android app. Only two artists are part of this project currently—DJ and producer Steve Aoki and indie rock band The Wombats. Both these artists are known for their NFT adoption.

Users cannot directly purchase NFTs on the Spotify platform. Spotify doesn’t support any video or GIF format. It allows only static images without sounds. Users can read about the NFT on the Spotify platform, see an enlarged preview, and tap on the option to be redirected to the OpenSea page where the NFT can be purchased.
