OpenSea team considered the launching of the app a big step towards making NFTs available for all.

Making NFTs more available to all is one of our core missions here at OpenSea, and we believe this is a big step in an exciting direction.

Why not buy/sell?

It is interesting to note that the OpenSea app doesn’t allow buying or selling of NFTs. This is because of two reasons.

Firstly, Google and Apple can take 30% of in-app transactions. 30% of $3.4 billion worth of trading will cause a huge price cut.

The second and most important hurdle in facilitating app purchases is the nature of cryptocurrency. To create payment options, OpenSea would have to introduce a USD-based infrastructure. But, the platform is based on the Ethereum blockchain. Making it dollar-friendly will upset the crypto ecosystem trusted by so many.
