WHY VOLUMES ARE UP
According to experts tracking this class, there are a number of factors responsible for the spike in the NFT market. Says Kameshwaran Elangovan, Co-founder and COO, GuardianLink. "The first is that people have started to understand the line of demarcation between NFTs and cryptocurrencies. The other is that the NFT market has matured a lot, creating more metaverses with stories and NFTs with utility rather than confining themselves to simple images."
Says Vikram R Singh, Founder and CEO, Antier, "The rise in trading volumes of NFTs in the last two months can be attributed to the increased demand for digital assets, such as art, music, and videos. This has been in response to the digital transformation that has taken place in the entertainment industry, as well as the increasing popularity of blockchain technology."
