NFTs have gained enormous popularity in 2021. Collections such as the Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks have generated billions in sales. The hype around digital collectibles has ultimately also received attention from major brands. They have experimented with this technology in order to retain their customers even more. Although the NFT hype has subsided in recent months, the effects of the new technology are likely to be felt for a while. Companies like Nike and Addidas also want to expand into the metaverse to present their brands in the virtual world as well.
Investors and technologists are confident that the NFT market has a very bright future ahead of it. According to a recent survey by CoinGecko, respondents believe that the NFT market could reach a value of more than $ 800 billion in the next two years. More conventional estimates predict the global NFT market to be worth about $230 billion by the end of the decade.
