ShiftPixy (NASDAQ:PIXY) stock is on the move Monday as investors react to news of the company adopting an NFT loyalty program.
ShiftPixy is a platform that lets users sign up and apply for shifts with different employers. The company’s focus is on providing those taking part in the gig economy with an easy way to find work.
According to the company, this new NFT loyalty program will include “Web, In-App Gamification, and Augmented Reality (AR).” All of these features will be tied to brand NFTs for the company’s various food brand ordering apps.

Scott Absher, co-founder and CEO of ShiftPixy, said the following about the NFT news boosting PIXY stock higher on Monday.
“We intend for our brands to immerse our consumers into an augmented and mixed reality experience that will test every tradition and legacy in consumer marketing. We believe that this will show the world a high-value use case for monetizing the metaverse. As we move forward with this endeavor, we plan to increase our offerings and boost our footprint in the digital world.”
ShiftPixy says it plans to launch the NFT loyalty program in 2022 as it prepares for the launch of its Ghost Kitchen food brands.
