WISeKey International Holding Ltd. on Wednesday said it would commercially launch its WISe.Art NFT platform for the collectible and luxury market on September 1.

The company said it began a series of market test auctions of high-value NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, in April, leading to the platform's planned launch next month. "These market tests include the two world premiere NFT auctions of the digital twins of a physical watch -- the Hublot Bigger Bang All Black Tourbillon Chronograph Special Piece by Jean-Claude Biver, and the Jacob & Co NFT," WISeKey said.

The cybersecurity company also said the WISe.Art marketplace allows trading of NFTs into WISeKey's own TrustECoin cryptocurrency and the ability to "include curators and multipliers, while-labeling options and special NFT designs."

WISeKey said its partnership with Green NFT ensures NFTs on the platform are fully carbon neutral.
