The advent of Blockchain technology is ingeniously simple technology but is revolutionizing how the world does business. One of the increasingly important applications that leverage this technology is NFT. After sporadic rise during the 2021 bull run, the non-fungible asset space [NFT] has been spreading through the wider crypto market like wildfire and there is no stopping the hype. Â
Throughout 2020, the NFT sector surged by 2800%. Since then, a lot has changed. The entire industry has tripled in the first quarter of 2021. Taking this into account, the figures were up by a staggering 6,000% from 2020. The disruption is rare and the top three spots are held by collectibles, art, and sports. NFTs are here to stay, and they’ll serve an increasingly important role in our digital economy. In the third quarter of 2021 alone, the trading volume has risen to $10.67 billion, an 704% increase from the previous quarter.
The thriving blockchain industry, as a whole, grew 25% quarter-over-quarter and 509% year-over-year, in tandem with which the NFT sales volume also appeared to be climbing higher. The explosive growth such as this has baffled many naysayers. The fusion of art and technology is rare, but the non-fungible token segment has managed to bridge the gap between the two.Â
Naturally, investors are long-term bullish on the tech behind it that powers the NFT ecosystem Its increasing appeal can be attributed to the features which include enabling ownership and verifiable validity. Beyond art, NFTs have the potential to disrupt the traditional system of storing, certifying, and documenting and data. Many platforms are exploring how NFTs can be given an interesting spin. One such is an NFT-exclusive curation, creation, and consulting platform, SmashChain led by the Smash Collective.Â
