As we know, Non-fungible tokens are certificates of ownership on unique and non-fungible digital works, represented by music, photos, videos, games or collections of various kinds. These digital assets produced via blockchain are increasingly attracting the interest of investors on a global scale, involving more and more subjects and sectors, including the media.

Going into more detail of the Nonfungible.com study, it turns out that the number of buyers has increased dramatically: in 2020 they were 75 thousand while in 2021 they grew to reach 2.3 million. Furthermore, the digital wallets that hold or trade NFT are over 2.5 million, compared to a number of 89 thousand registered in 2020, with an estimated average purchase of 7,040 dollars (but more than 470 wallets have managed to make profits over $ 1 million). As for the most traded goods, they fall into the category of collectibles – as in the case of the avatar lots of CryptoPunks and the images of Bored Apes – which, overall, have generated transactions worth 8.4 billion dollars. The gaming segment also absorbed a large cash flow ($ 5.2 billion).

Significant, the growth of the NFT category of the metaverse which was the most popular in the last 3 months of 2021, in conjunction with Facebook’s decision to change its name to Meta. Sales of digital land and elements belonging to this new virtual space are destined to develop further in perspective.
In 2022, according to the assessment of Gauthier Zuppinger, co-founder of Nonfungible.com, the NFT market, whose value has been purged of the activities of bots and speculators, will tend to stabilize without further spikes. However, values and exchanges remain very high. Which reflects, in the opinion of Dan Kelly, CEO of NonFungible.com, the existence of an emerging reality, against the hypothesis of a speculative bubble, under which the nascent economy of the Web3 moves. On which large brands such as Visa, Adidas and Nike have also begun to converge.
