Aktivne denarnice NFT so upadle za 40% ob upadu kripto trga

O ne gnojivo token (NFT) market seems to be in a bit of a lull, as several metrics show that interest in the space has dropped since the peak a few months ago.

Activity in the NFT market has dropped significantly since May, po podatkih from Nonfungible. The number of active wallets has dropped by 40% while daily sales fell by 60%.

To je oster preobrat za nišo, ki je bila v zadnjih mesecih izjemno priljubljena. Kot merimo s skoraj vsako metriko, je aktivnost dosegla vrh v aprilu in maju. Zdi se, da je zdaj v enakem upadu kot v prvih mesecih leta 2018.

Tudi vrednost prodaje v dolarjih je strmo padla, aprila je dosegla približno 322 milijonov dolarjev in zdaj znaša 88 milijonov dolarjev. Dejansko število prodaj medtem znaša nekaj manj kot 15,000. To je morda boljši pokazatelj dejavnosti v vesolju, ki je prav tako padla s približno 25,000 v začetku maja.

CryptoPunks, Sorare, and Meebits are the most popular NFTs in the market, raking in roughly $5 million in the past week. Sorare’s NFTs are currently the standout assets in the space and is the only one to hit a seven-day sales number figure of nearly 10,000. The closest competitor is Ethereum Name Service.

The largest sales that occurred in the past week have to do with meebits, the voxel art-inspired NFTs built by the well-known Larva Labs. The top-selling NFT sold for a whopping $153 million, while the second-highest sold for $142 million.

Samo spodrsljaj za trg NFT?

Since the start of 2021, the NFT market has taken the world by storm, fuelled by celebrity involvement and an appeal to the mainstream. While Defi and the general crypto market also caught the attention of the mainstream, the difference in interest was significant.

The drop in activity could be linked to the market’s recent crash, or perhaps it’s that the novelty of NFTs has worn off. However, during the crash itself, the NFT trading market continued showing heavy activity. It will never fully be clear why the dip is occurring, but it’s likely a combination of multiple factors.

Still, major entities in the crypto space continue to plow on, with several launching NFT-related initiatives. Perhaps most significantly, Sotheby's and Christie’s auction houses have also gotten involved.

Outside of the digital art space, sports teams have enthusiastically begun to use the unique asset for tickets, merchandising, and other exclusive features. Major League Baseball announced a licensing deal for NFTs, and Ukrainian football team Dynamo Kyiv announced that it would sell NFT tickets for the 2021 season.
