Former Lyft CFO Steps Down To Pursue NFT Career With OpenSea
A former Lyft executive is jumping ship to get involved with crypto, NFT, and web3.0.
Covered:
- New Position For The Former Lyft CFO
- Where Does NFT Sentiment Stand?
Business executives from nearly every industry you can think of have left the legacy system to join the digital renaissance. As Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and digital scarcity usher in a new era of humanity’s relationship with the internet, more and more people are tuning in, including Brian Roberts, the chief financial officer (CFO) of Lyft.
New Position For The Former Lyft CFO
Today, Roberts announced that he would be leaving his position of CFO for the major ridesharing platform to pursue the future of NFTs, web3, and the digital economy with the OpenSea NFT marketplace.
It's official: my next chapter will be spent at @OpenSea, helping @dfinzer, @xanderatallah, and team shape the future of NFTs, web3 and the digital economy.https://t.co/bVpgCKudAe

Roberts has been the standing CFO for Lyft since 2014, just two years after the company launched. Now, he’ll be taking on the CFO role for OpenSea.
According to Bloomberg, Roberts is optimistic about OpenSea’s prospects, comparing the platform’s potential to eBay in the mid-90s.
Where Does NFT Sentiment Stand?
As crypto analytics firm The Block points out, OpenSea dominates NFT trading volume across the crypto landscape.
It’s interesting to note the strong surge in trading volume seen in August followed by a steady taper down, suggesting that traders have become less interested in the NFT sector since the summer.
Despite the decline in volume, the NFT space is far from cooling down. Interest In OpenSea appears just to be getting started, as investors have demanded ways to gain exposure to the marketplace. A report from The Information shows that OpenSea has received a $10 billion valuation from potential investment backers.
