Rarible Raises $14.2M in Series A Funding Round

On Wednesday, the NFT marketplace Rarible, a protocol for creating, selling, and collecting non-fungible, blockchain-based collectibles, revealed the organization raised more than $14 million. The Series A funding round was led by Venrock, Coinfund, and 01 Advisors and the project also revealed it will soon be launching an NFT market on the blockchain Flow.

Brainchild of the creators of Cryptokitties, the Flow project has seen well-known brands like the UFC, Dr. Suess, Ubisoft, Samsung, Warner Music Group, and the National Basketball Association (NBA) mint NFTs using its tech.

Since its launch in 2020, the Rarible marketplace has seen $150 million worth of NFT sales and Rarible’s trading volume has grown “3,000-fold.” Moreover, well-known luminaries have created NFT collectibles on the Rarible marketplace including celebrities like visual neo-pop artist Richard Orlinski, the boxer Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather Jr., actress Lindsay Lohan, billionaire Mark Cuban, hip hop star Tyga, American rapper Bhad Bhabie, and multi-platinum Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Ozuna.

“Just as we have always been at the forefront of the NFT movement, Rarible is determined to pioneer the next wave,” the cofounder of Rarible’s marketplace and CEO Alexei Falin said. “With this company milestone, we are thankful for the support of Venrock, 01 Advisors, and Coinfund and look forward to going beyond the current enclosed crypto environment and taking NFTs into mainstream consciousness.”

Coinfund Expects Major Growth in the NFT Space, NFT Marketplace Competition Has Increased a Great Deal

Jake Brukhman, the CEO of Coinfund, believes that Rarible will remain ahead of the curve in terms of the NFT sector expanding. David Pakman, partner at Venrock expects “major growth in the NFT space as more individual creators, musicians, brands, digital artists and influencers realize the value of digital collectibles and peer-to-peer transactions on platforms such as Rarible become more popular.”

Rarible has a great number of competitors in the space that offer NFT marketplaces as well. The competition includes NFT market operations like Superfarm, Hic et Nunc, Makers Place, Nifty Gateway, Ethernity, Hoard, Enjin, Fansforever, and Opensea. Data from Dune Analytics shows that Rarible has seen over $12 million in 30-day volume and $54,963 over the last seven days. Rarible’s average purchase price for an NFT on the platform is roughly $704 per collectible.
