Bubblehouse, the platform making the NFT experience easy and accessible, reports that over 500,000 NFTs have been collected in just two months. Creators and collectors can purchase Bubblehouse NFTs on ETH or Polygon (with more chains to be supported), and notably users do not need crypto expertise to discover, collect, and make money selling digital NFTs because purchases can be made simply via credit card or crypto.
“We want to take the NFT experience and make it accessible and valuable for all. Providing a platform where creators and collectors can easily enter Web 3 is key to this broader adoption. We want this new world to be fun, artistic, lucrative, social, and more,” shares co-founder Rohan Sinha.
Bubblehouse showcased how accessible and seamlessly the platform can provide brands an opportunity to engage communities with NFTs through its global fashion and hospitality partnerships. By partnering with Groot Hospitality, the leading hospitality group behind iconic Miami hotspots like Swan, Papi Steak, and LIV, Bubblehouse launched the group’s first NFT-exclusive dessert for Komodo Miami, which sold out within minutes with the Nelk Boys promoting it.

Bubblehouse also successfully partnered with fashion brands Altuzarra, Markarian, and Vaquera to launch their first NFTs during February New York and Paris Fashion Weeks. Integrating collectable NFT experiences into their shows, Altuzarra, Markarian, and Vaquera surprised guests with limited edition, brand-inspired NFTs available exclusively on Bubblehouse via a special QR code on site.
Building on Bubblehouse’s ethos of community, utility, and ease, its fashion and hospitality partnerships are an indicator of the company’s commitment to delivering elevated value and experiences for collectors and future partners, which include top digital artists, NBA players, Tik Tok stars, and fashion brands launching on the platform soon.
