# Overview

Secondary NFT marketplaces are the go-to platforms for artists to list and sell artwork and for collectors to buy into popular collections after they have been minted on a primary marketplace and find new investment opportunities.

In October 2022, the Ripple blockchain voted to support NFTs via a new standard called XLS-20, which permits increased functionality like leveraged auctions, efficient storage mechanism, direct cuts of secondary sales to the original minter, and even co-owning NFTs.

## Key Takeaways For Creators

When it comes to selecting the right secondary marketplace, creators have plenty of fantastic NFT marketplaces to list their collection on for XRP-specific projects and benefit directly by being able to:

* **Mint NFTs directly on selected secondary marketplace**s to leverage an existing audience of interested buyers
* **Verify your collection with a unique token ID** to give buyers peace of mind and to identify you as the original owner
* **Easily link your wallet to facilitate transactions** and have your NFTs stored safely prior to listing
* **List NFTs for sale with low transaction costs** to ensure you retain even more profits after selling
* **Add artist royalties on selected secondary marketplaces** to generate passive income for resales on the secondary market

### Key Takeaways For Collectors

* **Find “the” NFT for your private collection** filtering a collection by price, listing date, and NFT metadata
