The Genesis Pass Whitelist is Now Open to the Public
The startup Artfi has announced that its Genesis Pass whitelist is now available to the general public. This move comes ahead of the platform’s official launch. Those who own the Genesis Pass non-fungible token (NFT) will have the opportunity to acquire fractionalized artwork through Artfi. The first collection available will be ‘The Six Elements’ series by renowned artist Sacha Jafri.
Over 25,000 people have already registered for the whitelist, showing strong interest in Artfi. By dividing artwork into fractional shares, Artfi aims to make valuable art more accessible and increase ownership and liquidity.
‘The Six Elements’ Collection: 10,000 Pieces Available
Genesis Pass members will have access to 10,000 pieces from ‘The Six Elements’ collection on Artfi. In addition to participating in future fractionalized art sales on the platform, token holders will receive a free token airdrop.
Artist Sacha Jafri was attracted to Artfi because of its mission to make art accessible through fractional ownership. He believes that by offering his works on Artfi, more people will be able to enjoy and own a piece of his art.
“‘The Six Elements’ is my first fractionalized collection. It’s a really cool opportunity to be part of the elements that make up our world and all humanity. Artfi doing this, through the democratization of art, opens up the opportunity for those who otherwise wouldn’t have had one. There’s a real chance that one creation, one moment, one part of my soul can now be owned by thousands of people. That’s a beautiful thing.” – Sacha Jafri
A Record-Breaking Artist
Jafri’s artwork has achieved high prices in the art market. One of his original pieces ranks third among the highest prices ever paid for a work of art created by a living artist. The sale of his ‘Journey of Humanity’ canvas painting, which took seven months to complete, set a global record for the biggest canvas when it sold for $62 million in 2021.
Hot Take: Artfi Makes Art More Accessible Through Fractional Ownership
Artfi’s Genesis Pass whitelist opening to the public marks an important step towards democratizing art ownership. By offering fractionalized artwork, Artfi allows more people to participate in the art market and own a piece of renowned artist Sacha Jafri’s ‘The Six Elements’ collection. This initiative demonstrates Artfi’s commitment to making valuable art accessible and increasing liquidity in the industry. With over 25,000 people already registered for the whitelist, it is clear that there is strong demand for this innovative approach to art ownership. Artfi’s platform has the potential to revolutionize the way we engage with and invest in art.
