10 Factors NFT Sales Boomed in 2022 Amid Market Collapse

Validated Project

As per statistics from DappRadar, despite months of dropping sales and lowering pricing, total NFT sales were a major hit in 2022 and almost equaled the 2021 high. Data shows that the year-end total for NFTs was boosted by the market’s excitement at the beginning of 2022, which helped make up for the many poorer months that followed. According to DappRadar, which Decrypt used, the NFT market’s organic trade volume across blockchain platforms and marketplaces in 2022 was around $24.7 billion. In 2021, when tokenized collectibles first became more than a fringe interest, the NFT market exploded in task, recording a sum of $25.1 billion.

There’s been a lot of talk about the collapse of the Cryptocurrency market in 2022, but the equivalent implosion of the non-fungible token market has flown under the spotlight to a certain extent. Chainalysis, a blockchain analytics platform, found that consumer trust in the NFT market has been eroding, and that this decrease had been amplified by a staggering 88% reduction in the number of addresses trading on NFT markets in a given week. From the beginning of May 2022, the average price of an NFT sale has dropped by 92%, from $3894 to $293.

Amidst a poor market environment, NFT sales soared in 2022 as a result of the following 10 factors mentioned in pointers:

  1. Before Everything Else, NFT Investors Think The Token Will Rise In Value Over Time. As A Kind Of Digital Property, NFTs May Take The Form Of Anything Found On The Internet, From Works Of Art As Well As Antiques To Emoticons. CryptoPunks, Among The First NFT Initiatives, Is One Example Of A Unique Breed. CryptoPunks Command 6 Or 7-Figure Prices Because Of Their Widespread Renown.
  2. Statistics From The Largest NFT Marketplace, OpenSea, Indicated That Sales Peaked In August, Then Decreased In September, October, And November, Before Jumping Back Up In December. Bitcoin And Other Cryptocurrencies, Which Are Often Used To Purchase NFTs, Climbed In Price From September Through November, Although This Trend Doesn’t Seem To Be Tied To Changes In The Value Of Cryptos.
  3. Gmoney, A Prominent NFT Collector, Recently Told CNBC Make It That Having NFTs Is Like Having A Rolex Or A Lamborghini In The Real World In Terms Of Social Standing. He, Like Many Others In The Cryptocurrency Sector, Enjoys His Anonymity And Is Well-Known Only In Online Circles.
  4. Due To Their Distinct Advantages, NFTs Are Often Considered A Promising Investment. Every Non-Fungible Token (NFT) May Be Valued Above The Underlying Cryptocurrency From Which It Was Purchased. Given That Their Worth Is Determined Mostly By Market Demand And The Asking Price, They Are An Attractive Investment Opportunity For Individuals Seeking Financial Gain.
  5. NFTs Also Provide Holders With Benefits Of Some Kind. These Benefits May Include Things Like Early Notification Of Upcoming Material, Events, Or Even Just Exclusive Access To Content, Shows, Or Get-Togethers. Virtual Learning Resources And Collaborations With Many Other NFTs Are Features Of Several NFT Collections. The Run-On Listing Is Infinite.
  6. Considering Their Potential To Hold Their Value, NFTs Might Be Seen As A Kind Of Digital Savings. Certain NFTs Provide A Secure Investment Opportunity Because Of Their Immunity From Inflation In Contrast To Fiat Monies. Although, This Is Not Always The Case, And Certain Analysts Predict That 90% Or More Of The Value Of Most NFT Products Now Might Be Lost In The Years Ahead.
  7. When Compared To Investing In Equities Or Bonds, NFT May Provide Tax Advantages. Since NFT Is Treated As Land, Its Appreciation In Value Is Taxable.
  8. NFTs Provide A Trustworthy Method Of Establishing Ownership In The Digital Realm. The Blockchain Records And Verifies The Authenticity Of Each NFT, Rendering Them Very Difficult To Fake Or Counterfeit. Because Of This, They Are Excellent For Protecting Digital Rights, Particularly In The Case Of Tangible Assets Such As Property Investment.
  9. When It Comes To Storing Wealth, NFT Is One Of The Most Effective Methods. Consequently, It Is Immune To Inflation. In Contrast, Scarcity Created By NFT May Increase An Investment’s Worth.
  10. Gain Passive Revenue By Staking Non-Fungible Tokens. It’s Due To The Fact That NFTs May Be Staked For Financial Gain. The Value Of Your NFTs May Increase Over Time, Allowing You To Cash In On The Appreciation And Supplement Your Earnings.

  • U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."
