NFTs became widely popular in 2021, with collections like the Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks garnering lifetime sales in the billions. Major brands eventually became interested in the hoopla surrounding digital collectibles and started experimenting with the technology to improve their consumer relationships. Even though the NFT mania has subsided recently, the impact of the new technology is anticipated to last. Companies like Nike and Addidas intend to expand the reach of their brands into virtual worlds by pursuing their NFT objectives in the Metaverse.
Despite varying projections, investors and technologists are optimistic about the NFT market's future. In a recent study conducted by market aggregator CoinGecko, respondents predicted that within the next two years, the NFT industry might be worth more than $800 billion. By the end of the decade, more traditional studies estimated that the worldwide NFT business will be worth about $230 billion.
