Leading platforms such as Polygon, Solana, and Bitcoin are experiencing varying growth rates, indicating that the market is becoming more diverse. Strong sales of collectibles like the Bitcoin PIZZA NFT indicate renewed interest among collectors. The recent market decline has created buying opportunities, and the increasing utility of NFTs in other areas, attracting different types of investors, may be factors contributing to this recovery.
NFTs generally benefit from the general expansion of the cryptocurrency market. Major cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Bitcoin typically experience linear growth in value, as do the NFT markets that support them.
