NFTs are breaking all Records

 


Non-fungible tokens have had a successful third quarter. Here you can find out more about the extent of the hype.

The wave of hype about non-fungible tokens (NFT) just doesn't want to break. In the spring it seemed as if the euphoria surrounding non-fungible tokens had subsided, NFT are now more popular than ever. DappRadar estimated market capitalization of the NFT market, plus NBA Topshot, 14.19 billion US dollars. The size of the NFT market fluctuates depending on the source because not all purchases are recorded on the blockchain. But most sizes are in the billions.


The blockchain game Axie Infinity is a particularly good example of the hype and success surrounding NFT. Because the game recorded more than $ 2 billion in trading volume for the first time.

As can be seen from the graphic above, NFT only spanned a shadowy existence in the crypto market a few years ago. Few knew what to do with the term NFT. In line with this, the trading volume in Q3 2020 was still a modest 28 million US dollars. Today, in the third quarter of 2021, things look very different: In the course of just one year, sales of NFT works of art have shot up by over 38,000 percent. And from the second quarter of 2021 through the third, the trading volume increased by a whole 9.4 billion US dollars.

NFT sales on OpenSea

The OpenSea platform has established itself as the largest and most important trading center for non-fungible tokens. The third quarter was the most successful in the company's history for OpenSea. In August alone, the trading platform for digital art had sales of 3.4 billion US dollars. Then in September, there was a slight decline to a trading volume of 3 billion US dollars. However, that is still an impressively high sum. Because by comparison has Christie's, one of the oldest auction houses in the world, throughout 2020, "only" 5.5 billion US dollars implemented.

The increase in sales of OpenSea from July (326 million US dollars) to August (3.4 billion US dollars) alone corresponds to an increase of 943 percent. What's even more impressive is that OpenSea only turned over $ 8 million in January 2021.

CryptoPunks


The so-called CryptoPunks is symbolic of the rise and hype surrounding NFT. The "punks" limited to 10,000 copies are now traded for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of US dollars. And according to CoinMarketCap, the CryptoPunks represent the most valuable NFT collection in the world. The following graphic shows the price of CryptoPunks over the last 90 days. The average price of a punk on July 9th was 17.23 ethers (today 58,182.6 US dollars). In comparison, the price on October 6 is already 159.5 ethers, an average of 536,027.9 US dollars (at an ether price of 3,376.82 US dollars).

Nonfungible.com

The Nonfungible.com site provides information on all aspects of NFT. The graphic below shows the number of NFT units sold over the last 30 days. On January 1st, 30-day sales were 80,000 units. In the third quarter in particular, more NFTs were sold than ever before. The number of active wallets was also at a record level on October 5th. As of January 1, there were still 18,000 active wallets that contained non-fungible tokens. On October 5th, the total of active wallets was already 155,000. Which corresponds to an increase of 761 percent. Here, too, it can be clearly seen: from August 2021, the number of active wallets has increased noticeably.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain.

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
