Eminem invests in NFT platform MakersPlace
NFT startup MakersPlace announced a $30 million Series A round, with rapper Eminem and his manager Paul Rosenberg as the most notable investors. The rapper launched his own NFT collection in April in collaboration with Nifty Gateway, but it seems his journey into the NFT space does not end there.
The funding round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Pantera Capital together with Coinbase Ventures, Draper Dragon Digital, Uncork Capital, Sony Music Entertainment, and 9Yards Capital. Other notable strategic investors include DJ and NFT entrepreneur 3LAU, the founder and CEO of Shopify Tobi Luetke, Acquavella Galleries, and former Sotheby's CEO William Ruphrecht.
What is MakersPlace?
Artists, photographers, writers, and others can use MakersPlace to create and sell their work online. One event you might know MakersPlace from is its partnership with auction house Christie's for the sale of "EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS" NFT by artist Beeple, which sold for $69.3 million in March.According to MakersPlace, the Ethereum blockchain-based platform has already processed more than $100 million in transactions in 2021, and the number of users has increased tenfold. "We see this fundraise as continued validation for our mission,"said MakersPlace CEO Daniel Chu.
The NFT space is getting a lot of attention lately
Given the increasing interest and volume in the NFT space, it is not surprising that investors are lining up to invest in NFT-related startups. For example, NFT marketplace OpenSea recently became a crypto "unicorn" with a $1.5 billion valuation after a $100 million Series B funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz.Virtual horse racing game Zed Run also raised $20 million for its platform in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz, Nifty Gateway, was valued at $1.2 billion by crypto analytics firm Messari in March and NFT projects such as Crypto Punks, Bored Ape Yacht Club and Gutter Cat Gang also reached new all-time highs this week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
