KnownOrigin was acquired by eBay
On 22 June 2022 eBay announced it had acquired KnownOrigin to bring NFT minting and collecting onto its platform; KnownOrigin’s independent marketplace path ended under eBay (a TradFi/e-commerce acquirer), with later shutdown of the standalone KnownOrigin market UI.
Successor: eBay
Founded 2018
KnownOrigin spent four years building an artist-centric NFT market before eBay announced a signed-and-closed acquisition on 22 June 2022. eBay cast the deal as expanding digital collectibles; KnownOrigin’s founders said eBay’s audience would open a new chapter. Because eBay is not a crypto-native employer on Sail, this memorial links successor name/URL only.
KnownOrigin was a UK NFT marketplace founded in 2018 in Manchester that focused on artist minting and secondary sales on Ethereum. eBay acquired the company in June 2022 as part of a broader digital-collectibles push; the KnownOrigin consumer marketplace was later wound down under eBay ownership.
No. eBay acquired KnownOrigin in June 22, 2022, and KnownOrigin is not listing jobs on its own.
