by the recording artist Grimes. The new NFT auction platform “turns rare [and] physical collectibles into NFTs, [and] NFTs purchased through Otis House can be traded in at any time for the physical item.”Otis House claims to offer a bridge between NFTs and physical collectibles. Essentially, a collector sends a physical item to Otis House and the item is stored, authenticated, and insured in a vault. Following the vault process, which has to be an item valued at more than $5,000, Otis will mint an NFT to represent the vaulted collectible. Otis says that auctions will happen on the platform regularly and at any time, the owner with an authentic NFT can trade the digital item for the physical collectible. “Otis will destroy the NFT and ship the collectible to the owner,” the company’s announcement on Wednesday details.
