Sam’s Club, owned by Walmart Inc., has filed trademarks for cryptocurrency and NFTs in preparation to offer digital goods and blockchain-based software.
The retailer is already offering augmented reality and virtual healthcare services and has shown interest in the metaverse with the launch of Bulkcoin in 2018.
The trademarks allow Sam’s Club to manage NFTs, provide digital goods like home decorations, toys, personal care products, and sporting equipment, and launch a blockchain-based wallet and other software.
Walmart is also reported to be hiring for cryptography and cybersecurity positions for a blockchain initiative.
