JAY-Z Secures $19M to Help Bitski Become the "Shopify for NFTs"

JAY-Z has joined a $19 million Series A funding round for NFT platform Bitski — just one week after he sold the majority stake in TIDAL for $302 million. Hov isn't the only big name to put money behind the emerging platform. The founders of The Hundreds streetwear brand, Bobby and Ben Hundreds, Roc Nation co-founder Jay Brown, Troy Carter, Serena Williams, Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) are also investing in Bitski.
