With no cryptocurrency, crypto wallet or specialized
knowledge required, Neon has built a simple accessible way to buy, sell and
trade NFTs in the real world. The vending machine is open 24 hours a day.
“Our goal is to support artists and creators by letting them
sell digital art to everyone, and to help anyone who wants to become a
collector. Giving people the choice to use vending machines and an easy online
platform that decouples cryptocurrency from NFT participation means we can
engage the widest possible audience.” Jordan Birnholtz, CMO and co-founder of
Neon said.

Built on the Solana blockchain, Neon is a crypto startup,
that operates as an NFT marketplace and gallery. Its NFT vending machine, made
of glass, glows in neon pink and blue lights making for a visual spectacle in
NYC's Financial District.
Jordan Birnholtz, the co-founder of Neon, intends to
demystify the procedure of owning NFTs for all, crypto-holders as well as
non-crypto owners.

“You shouldn't be required to hold Ethereum, write a smart
contract, pay gas costs or bridge blockchains to participate. NFT buying and
selling doesn't need to be a mystery,” Birnholtz said in an official statement.
This NFT vending machine concept will also scale the
visibility of artists, who are creating these pieces and selling them as
digital collectibles.
Currently, artists who are selling their works as NFTs on
platforms like OpenSea and LooksRare, only have crypto owners as their buyers.
I would say that whoever is behind all of this is an absolute genius…. https://t.co/CDbw9Pjwvf

“While only two percent of Americans have digital wallets,
80 percent have a credit card or debit card. Our goal is to support artists and
creators by letting them sell digital art to everyone, and to help anyone who
wants to become a collector,” Birnholtz added.
The public reaction to the vending machine on social media
seems to an encouraging sign.
The sales of NFTs reached some $25 billion in 2021 as the
speculative crypto asset exploded in popularity, data from market tracker
DappRadar showed.
