In recent months, the crypto market has seen a dramatic decline in value 📉. This has significantly impacted the NFT and art communities, with projects seeing their token prices drop and investors pulling out of the market.
NFT art was a thriving industry with many projects -some with real-world value. Artists were getting good value for their work. NFTs like Crypto Punks and Bored Ape Yacht Club continue to be the highest-selling NFTs and continue to make millions of dollars. Beeple is one of the most famous NFT artists, and his work (Beeple’s collage) sold for $69 million at Christie’s auction house. This makes Beeple the third most expensive living artist, behind only Jeff Koons ($91.1 million) and David Hockney ($90.3 million).
The bear market🐻 and its impact on NFT artists
Despite their meteoric rise, NFT artists have been struck by the crypto bear market. Many NFT artists have had to find new ways to make a living as the value of their NFTs has plummeted.
However, the good news is that $30 billion have been invested in NFTs in the last two years, according to David Pakman, Managing Partner of CoinFund.
He believes NFTs are the most successful new consumer product since the smartphone. But the most enticing data point Pakman shared was that even though asset values have gone down, the market cap of NFTs has continued to go up. The speed and quantity at which NFTs were being purchased were outpacing the effects of the bear market. Hence there is a silver lining for the industry reeling under macroeconomic factors.
