Those tracking the industry development definitely know 2020 was a real boom for the decentralized finance sector. However, in 2021, the hype switched to the NFT sector. Since the first quarter of this year, the popularity of NFT has grown exponentially. Between January and March 2021, the capitalization of the NFT market grew almost 18 times and reached $432 million at the end of the first quarter. The trading volume increased as well from $30.1 million to $226 million. According to preliminary data, as of the summer of 2021, investors spent more than $2 billion purchasing NFT collectibles.
Amidst the hype, the world media also add fuel to the fire: more and more celebrities release NFTs almost every day. For example, in March this year, the famous auction house Christie sold Beeple artworks for $70 million. Thus, the first quarter was really explosive, the second was rather stable, and the third and fourth promise to be even more astonishing.
