During the mid of March, Meta announced that it will be shifting away from NFTs on both Facebook and Instagram. At the time, we didn't know when it would be removed but we have an official date. As shared by Ahmeh Ghanem, NFTs on Instagram will be deactivated on 11 April 2023.

If you recall, non-fungible tokens (NFT) were the rage that companies tried to capitalise on but were met with a lukewarm reception from the netizens.

Meta Platforms chairman and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg yesterday confirmed that non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are coming to Instagram soon. In fact, the Facebook founder said that Meta is currently working on doing just that and hopes that it would be accomplished ‘in the near term’.

Malaysians may soon be able to own their vehicle registration number and other mainstream assets as a non-fungible token (NFT) after My E.G.
