With our expertise, we believe that it will change the way people see web3 based assets including cryptocurrency around the world.
Why are Liquid NFTs Needed?
For many years, NFTs have been a way for content creators to earn vast amounts of money by releasing a collection of NFTs to the public. This is usually done by creating hype and the promise of the collection increasing in price over a course of time.
This system is flawed for several reasons:
- Once a content creator has received their money, there is very little incentive for them to use that money to continue marketing the project. Other than secondary sales fees, which is often a reduced amount, due to the fact that over time people rush to sell them thereby crashing the floor price of the collection, meaning the content creator is receiving less and less on every sale. This is something that has been proven with thousands of NFT collections with very few exceptions.
- Anyone can create an NFT collection and after receiving their initial mint fees, can simply walk away leaving everyone's NFTs crashing with little chance of revival (after all they have been paid so what do they care!).
- The current NFT System is unintentionally designed to force prices down by the very nature of how the selling process operates on 99% of trading platforms. Let us explain this a bit more.
Currently an NFT is minted at a supposed low price (let’s say $100 for example), and owners of those NFTs can now sell them on a marketplace. In the vast majority of cases these NFTs are only worth what someone else is willing to pay for them, so a seller needs to list their NFTs at a lower price than the cheapest one available in order to have the absolute best chances of achieving a sale. This happens consistently until investors want to salvage what they can and start to sell for less and less, month on month. All the time this is happening, the content creator is earning their share on the sales fees/taxes, while everyone else is out of pocket.
Not only is this not fair or ideal but it actually makes the long-term viability of NFTs unsustainable with the current system. Would you buy a cryptocurrency that has zero liquidity? We’d guess not, because that would be completely stupid, right?! But this happens every day with NFTs, people buy them with absolutely zero liquidity attached to them.
How Do Liquid NFTs Work and Why Are They Better?
The Liquid NFT platform has been built using a reverse engineering system, which is specifically designed to not only limit EVERY INVESTOR'S losses, but actually increase the value of NFTs over time. When liquidity is added to an individual NFT, that item becomes as good as a physical asset because it has an intrinsic value set against it (like a vehicle, land, property, etc), but the owner has the added benefit of not having to actually find a buyer to release funds if needed.
In the simplest of terms, liquidity is added to all NFT assets on the Liquid platform, giving the holder both an exit strategy and an asset that will increase in value over time. Other platforms work on a peer to peer basis which means that the only value that an NFT has is based on what others are willing to pay for it. Due to the fact that every Liquid NFT has an intrinsic value locked into it, and with it continuously growing in liquidity, it means that a seller can always ask a higher price based on the liquidity growth potential.
How Does the Liquidity Grow?
Every time an NFT is traded on our platform, a percentage of the price will be added to liquidity across all existing assets on the platform. Below is a breakdown of how this is done:
NEWLY MINTED PROJECTS
- 50% of mint price - Added to Liquidity
- 40% of mint price - Developer/Project owner
- 5% of mint price - Liquid Platform Fees
- 5% of mint price - Added to existing NFT liquidity
Example: A collection mints at $100 each NFT. $50 is added to the liquidity pool, $40 is paid to the project owner, $5 is paid to the Liquid platform and $5 is sent in liquidity to existing NFTs that are already on the platform.
SECONDARY SALES AND NFT REDEMPTIONS
- 10% of sale/redeem price - Developer/Project owner
- 5% of sale/redeem price - Added to Liquidity
- 5% of sale/redeem price - Liquid Platform Fees
Example: The same NFT is resold or redeemed for $200 and $40 is charged as a fee leaving $160 for the seller. $20 is paid to the project owner, $10 is added to the liquidity pool and $10 is paid to the liquid platform.
How Do I Release My Liquidity?
If you decide not to sell your NFT but you want to pull the liquidity back into your wallet, you can simply use our REDEEM function. What this will do is burn the NFT completely, removing it from the collection forever and increasing the floor price of the remaining assets. Redeeming your NFT will automatically drop the liquidity value into your wallet.

Nathan Hill
CEO
Nathan is a founder and managing partner of the CMC Group. As an aspiring entrepreneur and businessman, he opened his first business whilst at school. At the tender age of just 14 years old, buying and selling products at local markets and placing them in local shops. Inspired by his father and mentor to run his own businesses, he soon turned business into an artform. Nathans’s father recommended that before embarking upon his first million-pound company, he should gain experience and learn from the best. So, after deciding to pursue a career in advertising and marketing, Nathan soon found himself working at the world’s largest English-speaking newspaper owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch “News International Group”. After many promotions, and after generating them millions of pounds in revenue every week, he decided it was time to launch his own franchise marketing company and franchise magazine. Franchise Marketing solutions was born with no more than £175 in investment and working with nothing more than a pasting table as a desk and an old 386mb computer managed to grow the business to one of the UKs leading franchise marketing agencies, winning awards and finally representing 35% of the UK franchise industry. Building upon this success Nathan then developed a taste for the property industry. Founding his own company “1st Point Properties” pioneered an industry changing concept that Nathan solely developed himself. First point properties traded successfully for many years, winning national awards over several years including National Estate Agency of The Year for innovation. After having invested in crypto for a while, he quickly noticed that there were no reliable marketing companies that were giving genuine value for money. This of course spurred his creative mind into overdrive. What if we did this properly and delivered meaningful results? Enlisting the help of his long-term friend and business associate (colin), they quickly took the first project from 17,000 holders to 95,000 holders in less than 8 weeks. And voila CMC was born, and the history pages are still being written…. Since launching the CMC Group (The Crypto Marketing Company) he has created a sustainable group of marketing based businesses in the web 3 space. Nathan and the CMC group currently own Crypto weekly magazine, the Crypto Marketing Comany and The Crypto Magazine which is currently the largest printed crypto magazine globally and available in retail store in 20 country’s around the world.
