The Sotheby’s ETH bids as a catalyst for growth

On November 2, CME Group said that they would launch a new Ethereum-based product to attract smaller investors.

On November 11, Sotheby’s made an announcement that they would launch live bidding increments in Ether (ETH) for Banksy’s “Trolley Hunters” and ”Love Is In The Air.” This is set to occur on November 18.

That said, Sotheby’s claims that this will be the first time an auction house has accepted cryptocurrency in real-time as a standard currency for payment in an auction on physical works of art.

While the bidding prices will get announced in ETH, the winning bidders have the option to pay in Ether (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC) as well as USD Coin (USDC).

This added publicity to Ethereum and further utilization within real-world auctions have the potential to increase the value of the token even further.
